Sun kissed day.

Good times in summer oh ten.

Okay, so it's technically not summer for another 3 weeks..which just seems odd to say that we're boating and swimming in the lakes in spring. ha.
But we had a fun day out on the lake today..check it out!

Five Question Friday!

Happy Friday! I am soooooo looking forward to this Memorial Day weekend! We have soooo much planned..between a beer bash for softball, romantic getaway with just JJ and I, boating, and a Memorial Day party at the in laws! This weekend is just jam packed with FUN!

Alright, here are the questions:

1. Is there something you've always wanted to try but just can't muster up the courage to actually do yet?
Hmmm...toughie. Ya know, I honestly can't think of anything..I could say that I've been wanting to contact my dad so he can meet his grand daughter's for the first time, he wrote to me back in December with his phone number for me to call him..I haven't seen him in 6 yrs. and have only met him about 10x my entire life, which I only remember 2 of those times. I guess now that I'm going to school and doing something with my life and that I have two beautiful girls to show for, I feel VERY proud and I want him to see that...so yeah, I still need to work up the courage to make that call. :/


2. If you had $100 handed to you in cash without your significant other knowing about it, what would you spend it on? hahaha! Funny you should ask this!
And I did just that last night..blew about $100 at Target. LOVE doing that! Just to get all that fun "junk" that JJ doesn't have to know about but eventually finds out anyways because I am not a good liar or secret keeper AT ALL!
So, last night I bought the girls a few shorts and shirts, Piper some Elmo plate ware, Taylor some artsy stuff to play with, makeup, a journal for myself, hair products, a candle...and a few other knick knacks!


3. What was your favorite piece of playground equipment as a child? swings, I guess.


4. Do you prefer a sweet or hearty breakfast? A muffin and coffee or cereal is my type of breakfast. I don't have a big appetite for a hearty breakfast in the AM. However, I do like breakfast for supper..eggs, sausage, and pancakes...mmmm, perfect! :o)



5. Are you a Neat Freak or a Messy Bessy? I'm 50/50. I go through moods/spurts. When I am in the mood to clean and have a clean house, I have a bit of OCD...constantly fixing a messed up rug that one of the girls tripped over, going around spraying Lysol, wiping down the cupboards with bleach wipes, an anti bacterial freak!
And then some days I don't do ANYTHING. And those are the days where the family is just out of sorts because nothing is clean or organized..so I am really trying to keep motivated on keeping a tidy house! :/

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend! :o)

Wednesday Weigh In..

Yayyy! Good results this week...and the results are.. 5 lbs. GONE!
2 additional pounds gone from last week.
How am I doing it?! A break up. Yes, JJ and I had a BIG spat last Friday and broke up for few days. I didn't eat anything for 1 1/2 days, then I slowly started getting an appetite back but still had no desire for food. It was a sad time...but things are better now, we're together, and happy! So, if I don't start my diet plan TODAY I am going to gain these 5 lbs. back instantly! :/

It's less then a month until swimming pool time at the waterpark and boating at the lake...I will not put on a swimsuit until I at least lose 10 more lbs!
Is that even possible?! UGHHHHHHHHHHH. A hot and fat summer, I will not have it!

Hot Minnesota weather.

...When summer, well almost summer time is here I try not to complain because really I love this time of year...BUT when it's 96 degrees outside with 90% humidity..one can't be happy and comfortable with that!
It's almost hard to breath out there unless you're keeping cool, so that's just what we did yesterday! :o)



A toddler plus a hose provides lots of entertainment for mommy! :P

Mommy's beach babe.


My girls think it's okay to wear their Uggs in 100 degree weather! :/


Fill her up!


pushing sissy!




...Piper and Kiarah..Piper's playdate this week!


Mommy's little thumb sucker.


..precious!


..The two little ones just tuckered out from the hot day!

7 years of LOVE.

...The last 7 yrs. with JJ. Today marks our 7th anniversary. But it's a sad one.
These are in no particular order...

Getting to know YOU!

Happy Sunday! My goodness! My weeks are just cruising along...I feel like I JUST did my Sunday post but it's already been a week, sheesh! :/

Alright, here are this weeks questions, enjoy! :o)



1. Do you have a fetish?..Ya know, I may have a couple but I'm certainly not going to reveal my "fantasies" for the world to read, sorry! :P

2. Do you sing in the shower? nope.

3. Who was your first crush? Does it count as early as kindergarten?! If so, his name was Taylor...he was this brown eyed, dark haired boy...looked like an Italian..I knew that I liked tall, dark, and handsome at such a early age! ;)
I was soooo boy crazy the next 11 yrs! ha!

4. What do you think is the best manly trait a guy could have? Hmmm..I am really picky when it comes to how manly a man is..it's such a turn off when a guy has softer hands then I do! :/
I can't pick just ONE best trait but I would have to say I think it's pretty manly when a guy can build and put something together without having to read directions...IDK, that sounds silly..but craftsmanship is such a turn on for me! :P

5. Do you sleep naked? Not completely naked but just in my underoo's...regardless of having the central air on in our house, our upstairs is still a sauna, so come summer time we ALL sleep in just our undies!

6. What do you do when (you think) no one is looking? Hmmm..lemme think...bite my nails, chew my cheeks..ummm..I'm sure I do a lot of odd things but I can't think of anything else..

7. What's the first thing you do when you go online? check meh facebook.

8. Summer is.....? bliss. Once summer comes around, I feel like a totally different person, I think they call that seasonal depression! ha!
Summer is a time to be with friends and family all season long...camping, bonfires, boating, heading to the pool, wearing cute little sun dresses EVERYDAY! MN summers are soooo beautiful there are so many fun activities to do!

Well, there you have it!

Formspring me!

...One more thing I want to add to my Friday post!
I just joined Formspring me...I've seen quite a few people with it, thought I'd jump on the wagon too!
It's a fun way to ask someone ANY question or statement they might have...because you can do it completely anonymous...whoa, brave!
So, go ahead...ask me anything! I've got tough/thick skin...I can handle most anything! :o)

Five Question Friday!

Happy Friday! I gotta make this a quick one! Taylor has her spring sing today, then I gotta head and meet with my health coach to pick up my products! Check my Wednesday post to see my results! :o)

Here are this weeks questions:

1. Do you have an iPhone and, if so, how do you get apps and what are your favorites?
No iPhone here, not that advanced yet. I'm perfectly content with my blackberry.


2. What is your fondest memory of K-3rd grade?
Hhmmm..it's hard to think of a particular memory...I'd say playing with my childhood friend, Molly...I think I was at her house everyday! I enjoyed her house so much better then mine at the time, it was kind of a rough time those early years, we moved so much, so her house and family gave me a lot of comfort!


3. What makes you cringe at the thought of touching? BUGS. Any type of flying, crawling insect...ewwwww! MAJOR phobia! LMAO, just so you know, I had to put my feet up on my chair...I just got the feeling that bugs are crawling below me! UCK.


4. If you could have any celebrity show up on your doorstep who would it be and why?
Wow! That's a toughie! I just read this question to JJ and he answered for me...Gerard Butler, so I could play with him! bahahaha!
Actually though, I'd love Oprah to come over! I would love to spend the day with her!!!!


5. What would you say is your best physical feature? What if I have a few?! haha, seriously though I am sooo self conscious and am not pleased at all with my body but I have to say I do have nice hands and feet. Also, I like my eyes..JJ says they have that exotic look! ;)

Alright, gotta go! Have a wonderful weekend folks!

Wednesday Weigh In..

I've lost 3 lbs!!!!
It's such a good feeling of confidence and motivation when you see the numbers on the scale dropping, I'm really wanting to continue with this...I'm stoked!!

Let me just explain how I did it...LOL.
Well..you see Miss Piper give me the flu, so for the last 2 days my diet consists of gatorade and saltine crackers....mmmm! :/
I don't recommend this weight loss to anyone! ha! This is the WORST flu I've ever had, I'll skip the details but imagine the grossest way to be sick! LOL.

I'm waiting on my "diet" products to be here, she said Wednesday...so if not today I'm hoping 2morrow, if I'm feeling better to even take anything besides my crackers and gatorade!
But now I'm happy to keep up and blog about this..haha! Because I have some results to give!

Stay tuned, let's hope my numbers don't go up next week! :/
