A Fantastic Find

This is my new toy and can i just say I love it. My mom and I were driving one day and we were just about home and I saw this fabulous machine sitting on someones driveway and so I turned around to look at it. It had a sign on that said FREE, but just needed a new motor which is about 300 dollars. It was totally clean and didn't have anything missing. I took Andy back and we picked it up. I figured I would save my money to get a new motor or my dad said he could probably have it rebuilt.

Well to my surprise Andy plugged it in and messed with a switch and it works GREAT. No motor needed. YAHOO. I promptly put it in my room and have loved using it. As a lot of you know I am really trying hard to lose weight and exercise regularly. Well I have lost 16 pounds and have really enjoyed exercise with my new machine and also going on bike rides with the Andy and the boys. I am really excited to accomplish my goals of being healthy and finally getting this weight off. I want to be an example to my family and to my boys. Wish me luck and hopefully I can report more weight loss as time goes by.

first day of school

Today was Jay and Logan's first day back to school. They were so excited, Logan was even up at 6:45 and asking when we could leave for school. I was so happy that they were so excited to go. Jay had his backpack ready and on 1 hour before school. They are in the same class again this year and I wouldn't want it any other way. They are such a comfort to each other that the anxiety and fears seem to subside when they know that the other one will be there. I was very pleased with their teacher and think they will do great.

Grape Olympics

Well as most of you know we have been watching the Olympics faithfully around our house. The boys have really gotten into the spirit of them and came up with the grape Olympics. I walked into the room to find them seeing who could take the grapes of the stem the fastest. They were really into and quite proud of themselves. The Gold medal went to Logan. Jay was very happy to receive the Silver and they were so excited to tell us who received which medal.

This is the final result of the grape Olympics.stems and all.

Discovery Science Center

We took a trip to the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana and we had so much fun. We had never been there and they really have so many things for the kids to do. Andy and I were able to get into the fun. Bob the Builder is there right now and the boys had fun climbing on the tractors. It was a fun family outing. We always love to see how much Jay and Logan are interested in so many things. They love to ask questions and love to always get involved. Here are some of things that they were able to do.

We had to get a picture with "Scoop"

Jay and Logan were amazed at the Huge space shuttle. They really wanted to go inside.


Logan loved the rock wall and we went back many timesJay also loved the rock wall and he didn't want to leave.

They were able to put together dinosaur bones.

Summer Olympics!!!!!

The Summer Olympics have officially started. I am so excited. I love to watch them and see how amazing these athletes are and the love of the sports that they participate in. The drive and dedication of these athletes is amazing. I love sports and it makes me feel proud that these men and women are there representing our country doing something they love. I of course follow all the soccer games ( I have made enough room on our DVR to record every single one) Gymnastics is always amazing to watch and swimming. I will watch every sport but those are some of my favorite. I think that I secretly would of loved to be an Olympian. The next 17 days of TV are going to be fabulous and I can't wait.

Mamma Mia

MUST SEE SUMMER MOVIE

I went to see this movie last weekend and I have to say it was FABULOUS!!!!!!!! I would recommend this movie to all you movie goers. I say the stage play a couple of years ago and I loved it then,but I have to say the movie is just as good if not better. I love the music and the cast. They all did an exceptional job. I am going to see it again and it will defiantly be in my DVD collection. Don't be surprised if everyone is singing in the theater. I am still singing the songs.

Happy Daddys Day

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to the man that I think is such an amazing Daddy. The boys are so blessed to have you for a daddy!!!! I love You
