Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

3 School is out, so it's officially summer, RIGHT?

This summer, I will:

  • get 1 great tan
  • be active/exercise 2 times a day
  • use up 3 Logan aquatic center punch passes
  • do 4 step class without missing a beat
  • easily bike 5 miles w/ girls in the trailer
  • land 6 full jump 180's across the wake
  • make 7 batches of strawberry jam
  • make 8 batches of bread
  • go to 9 movies
  • loose my last 10 pounds weight
  • do at least 11 blog posts a month
  • read 12 new books

This summer, I won't:
  • work too many hours
  • stress about boat gas $$
  • try to keep shoes on my girls
  • have dinner at a set time

This summers agenda:
  • pressure cooker class
  • reunion at my parent's home
  • camping with the girls ?
  • Nate's Thursday softball games
  • wakeboarding every week
  • trips to the zoo
  • days at the park
  • sprinklers in the backyard

In other news:
This morning I got up earlier than I have in months and went the a 6am STEP AROBICS class. It has been 5 years since I've done step arobics, but I was pleasantly surprised I didn't make a complete FOOL of myself...I was able to stay standing the whole time ;). No really, it felt pretty good to move my body! (the ENDORPHINES are still pumping) Kylie's birthday woke me up to the fact that I can't use the "I JUST HAD A BABY" excuse for ignoring my body anymore. Its hight time I respect myself enough to make an honest effort to get back in shape. Thanks MAREN for giving me a kick in the pants I needed. I might not be game for a half marathon, but something is better than nothing. Now I just have to decide if WEIGHT WATCHERS is part of my plan, too.


In case you were wondering:
Nate & Dirk just left an hour ago to go plant the PUMPKIN PATCH. Its a bit later in the month than usual, but the rain held us off. With any luck the recent moisture will help the seeds SPROUT. Last year was too dry and they really struggled. So, much as I hate to say it out loud, I hope we get a bit more RAIN over the weekend...Sunday would be perfect. LOL

UPDATE: I guess the farm got more rain last night than we did here in town. It was too wet, so planting pumpkins is postponed.

Let me tell you about a great thing I have discovered. www.thedailyplate.com
It's an awesome site where you can create an account, put how much weight you'd like to lose, and you can track your food and exorcise. I love it. It helps me stay on track.

Holy cow, you are motivated! You can do it! I like your things to do this summer- in numerical order. I think I might just have to steal that idea.
