another Thursday

I tried to update the blog from the gym today but for some reason my phone would shut the program down and lose all the typing and pictures so I gave up! So no KK gym pictures this week, but unlike Jaxon she will stay in gym so there will be lots of time for those!
So this week has gone by pretty good. Erik left on Sunday - so sad! But I have been to the gym every day this week. I work out for about an hour then the kids and I go swimming till 1pm - which is any where from 1 1/2 to 2 hours. So I am active. I have also been writing everything down that I eat. Today was a little tricky - I wrote it down but no points by somethings. Oh well at least I wrote it down!
I am kinda in a weird place this week since next week I will be at the beach - I did not want to waste this week but at the same time I don;t feel so bad for today since I know next week will be hard. I am going to try but I will be drinking which is never good for the scale and me! So I have started but I am really starting again when I get back.
I hate the word AGAIN I am always trying again, which means I have failed and have to start over again, AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN
I aways start off strong then I get lazy and have to start again! I can't think about that right now....
Time to get the kids to bed

Jaxon's gym

So we put Jaxon in gym this summer. What a mistake he does not like it as much as he thought maybe because it is a tumbling class and he really has to work. He is the only boy and some times the only one that whines!
He is the second from the right.









And then he does not do what he is suppose to do. It drives me crazy!!!!
Lesson learned!

Swimming at the gym

This is how I get motivate to go to the gym. They want to go swimming so I work out first then we go to the pool. So far it has works for 3 days. It is really nice to get in the pool after a work out but it is really hard to put on my swimsuit when I am sweaty!



Yeah life!

Watching tv with friends

Yeah life!

wonder busy stressful day

Today Katie had her practice for her dance. They did so good even though they were running about an hour behind. They girls were a beautiful mess on stage! can't wait to see them tomorrow

Jaxon also had his first TKD competition today, he got a 3rd place medal for his escape skills. I am so proud and sad I had to miss it. Thank goodness for my wonderful parents!

I love summer!!

Yeah life!


after the kids had swim lessons we meet my parents and Claire and Emma for some yummy snowballs!

Cousins

We went to Lafayette for the night the kids love playing with each other! Yeah for cousins close in age and locations!





Yeah life!

Scared but lesson learned

Last night was the first time in a really long time I was truely scared but not enough to call anyone but still my heart was racing. I was woken up around midnight because the garage door was opening then a few minutes later I heard it again. My alarm was set so I knee nobody could come in with out tripping that. I looked out th windows and saw nothing but my neighbors garage was open with the lights on so I figured they were still up. After about 2 1/2 hours I fell back a sleep. So this morning I learned how to lock the garage doors but a switch on top of the buttons in the garage!! Yeah because that always had worried me. After texting a few people I found out that my door was open when the neighbors came home so they tried to close it. The sensor hit something and went back up so they had to try again. If I would have text Eric last night I would have known this but because I am so worried about bugging someone I did not. I know crazy!
So what happen was Jaxon told me he closed the garage door which I heard him do but we did not hear it go back up. So I did not check, I set the alarm and went to bed.
Lessons learned:
Double check garage door
Lock garage doors now that I kwow how (I plan on keeping it locked and. Unlock it only when we open the doors).

oh and if you are walking on the treadmill while texting about this to 3 people it makes the time go really really fast! 40 min up hill with a 5 min each cool down and warm up for total 50 minutes = yeah me!

Ask questions before I drive myself crazy there usually is a good sane answer!!


Yeah life!

pictures of jaxon

Look daddy

Sorry really bad picture but Jaxon wanted Erik to see his crazy hair




Yeah life!

Painting for dad

Erik did not have coffee cups so the kids wanted to paint him some. We will see how they ship??





Yeah life!

Wow what a week!

It has been a week since Bonnie died and there are some big differences around our house - it is Quiet, Bonnie was loud barking and breathing! There are more crumbs on the floor, maybe Montana did not learn to clean the floor because Bonnie was always there but there is a lot more food on the ground! Montana only needs to be fed once a day, he leaves food in his bowl. We are sad to have only one dog!

It has only been 3 days since Erik left for Qatar and it feels so much longer, 45 days is going to go by so slow!!

Mother's day was fun, we went to a friends house for crawfish and swimming! It was strange not seeing my mom on Mother's day but I know they are having fun on their retirement trip!
Today I did go to the gym, I was only planning on walking for 20 minutes then I went to 30 and finally got off around 47 minutes. Amazing how good music can help!
This week is our last week of school for Jaxon, he is so excited and ready to start the summer! Katie has 2 days next week so that will not too bad and Tuesday is Louisiana day so it is just a festival and class picnic. It will be bitter sweet with her leaving BPECC, we have been there for 5 years but I am done with the drive!
Speaking of the drive it is almost time to go get her!

wrong time??

I am having a hard time this week! After the trip to New Orleans which was tons of fun for the family but not soo great for the eating, I have not been able to really get back on track - Today I did good, I think but I did not write anything down, just did it in my head. Then tomorrow we have dinner for a friends b-day(which should be fine just need to plan) and Sunday is Erik's going away crawfish boil which means beer which does nothing to help my weight AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Excuses and more excuses I know. Oh Saturday is Jazz fest - yeah that is bad, we get to go to the Shell tent and they never have healthy food and free beer. Oh well I will make it through this weekend and start again, but I will stay on track except for the above mentioned excuses!

The girl in the bubble

Yeah life!

Sorry for the noise

Yeah life!

Day in New Orleans

Today we had fun in Nola. We went to see the fishes and the bugs. We got a steamed seafood bucket for dinner. Yum yum Jaxon was so excited about trying the lobster but once he did he was not so happy, maybe because it was not covered in butter.
the we walked ariund but ended up back at the hotel because the kids legs were dying! So dramatic.
better then staying at home and the kids are still having fun jumping from bed to bed. We are such hood parents!



Yeah life!
