Spinning

I signed up for a spin class finally! I have been wanting to take a spin class for about a year now, and saw that the REC center offered one to the community.

So today was the first class for me. Boy did it kick my butt, and I LOVE IT! I can not wait to keep going and get better and better at it! Most of the women are older and they spin circles around me! I am the newest BIGGEST fan of spinning and I feel that it's going to be a life time friend of mine!

EVEN BETTER, when I stepped on the scale I have already lost 3 pounds! Seems to be working just fine.

The Balloon Festival

What a fun day. I was thinking to myself that I would really like to see a Balloon Festival and watch all the balloons take off on my way to work. And when I got there, Stephani told me that where was a Balloon Festival in Howell. HOW INCREDIBLE and fast the spirit works. It was so much fun watching all the balloons take off.



I WANT ONE!!!



Look how beautiful they all are up in the sky. There were so many more than this! It was incredible to see!





Then at Dusk they had the GLOW, where all the balloons inflated again and they all lit up at the same time. SO PRETTY!



Stephani took this, it's seriously my favorite one.

This is what I have been up to...

My new lifestyle could have many names: Chauffeur, Cook, Nurse, Human Punching Bag, Snuggle buddy, Story Teller, Mediator, Best Friend, Nap Time Nagger, Jokester, Pizza Deliver Girl, Dish Washer, and so much more, but I prefer Nanny.

This job isn't the easiest one. Where by the end of the day you just pass out when your head hits the pillow, when you rethink the plan of having children when you get married, but then moments like this happen...



...and this...



... and you realize how much you love every snotty nose, every temper tantrum, and the moments where they look up at you and just smile.This is my little buddy Atris, he is 5. He is one of the boys I play in the water with, I read book too, and I watch hours of Caillou and recently Bolt with.

 I also watch Connor and RJ. They are 13 and 11 and there is never a dull moment with them. They keep me on my toes and I'm sure wait for my reaction when one hits the other with what ever they can grab the fastest around them. We also have the best adventures going to Putters, Bowling, and Rolling Hills or just staying home having a Movie Day.

Loving the summer already :)

Because I Can

... Okay, lets be honest, not many people could pull this look off. Main goal in life is to put my Tyra face to work and become an underwear model. Most people don't think it's a very LDS goal... however, I DARE to dream :)

My BFFE

It was so nice that my best friend came to Michigan for a while.
It was fun to reminise with her and go to all our old hang out spots.
Taking pictures. Laughing. Shopping. jhiu& Well more laughing...

She is my other half.



The only person I know who can read my mind half way across the states.



Can make me laugh like no one ever could.



Has been with my through everything.
