Rodeo and Running

Workout: Workout video - Back and Biceps; Pop Pilates  Abs on Fire  - I highly recommend this video for a serious kick butt ab workout!!  13 minutes of pure torture!! The Rodeo So there's this huge rodeo every year in my hometown.  It's kind of a big deal, but I never bothered to go.  As a kid I didn't go because my parents didn't take us.  And as a young adult I never went because I thought it sounded totally lame.  On a last minute whim I decided to take my daughter.  All her cousins were going, and you know, I couldn't let her be all left out.  It turns out this rodeo is the coolest thing ever!!  I can't believe my parents didn't take us when we were younger.  Such great family fun!!  And such true patriotism showed here!  It restored my faith in Americans!!  Ahhhh, the good 'ole Midwest!:)  Of course I got suckered into a hat.  I let her get the same one as her cousin.  It lights up, and I thought it would be fun for playing at home. 

The Birthday Post

Workout: Strength training - shoulders and arms.  I'm going to be sooooo sore tomorrow.  I haven't done this video in about 4 months...EEK!! My baby turned 4 quite a few weeks ago, but I really wanted to post a few pictures for me, really.  I don't do big birthday parties.  They're expensive, a TON of work, and I'm just not very good at that type of thing.  So cake and ice cream it is!! The big boy with his birthday cake!  This is the first time EVER I have ordered a cake.  He really wanted a spider man cake, and I new there was no way I could pull something off on my own.  So Sam's Club helped me out;) We just played one little game, but it was a hit!!  This piece of paper cheap game from Party City was so much fun!! Oh, I love this picture of the cousins!!!  If only that dumb chair wasn't covering up Orlando:((   And after seeing those birthday questionnaires on some other blogs I read it made me want to do one,
