Sporting the "stache"




Yep, a few of the guys on Briant's basketball team decided to grow out their mustache! Briant obviously loved posing for the camera. I told him to pretend to shoot on that last pose. Let's just say that the "stache" is now gone thank goodness!

Catching up!

Ava's dance class! Notice she is trying to keep her toes out and flexes her little hands. She was trying so hard!




Madi's (Ava's friend) birthday party.....adults were able to join in too! We had war wounds as well, those dang slides killed us so we all got slide burns.





So this is Brec in Briant's shirt when he was a baby......so cute! Why don't they make shirts like this anymore with the big collar. I love it!

Muscle!!!

I had to laugh at your comment Jamie because seriously I was sick today! But, not the pregnant sick (I hope). I decided to try out a new class at the gym today and it kicked my butt! The class is called muscle and during the whole work out I definitely was pushing myself but really didn't think I was overexerting myself too bad. After the class was done I got the kids and that's when I felt like my legs were jelly and wanted to collapse. I then made it home and started seeing flashes everywhere so I just closed my eyes to let it pass while laying on the bed. Then I got this pounding headache in my eyes and felt nauseated. I have never gotten a migraine, but I am assuming that I was having a migraine? I then threw up a couple times while making my kids lunch and had to seriously lay on the floor all afternoon while my kids just played around me. Pathetic, I know! I can't believe how weak my body must be if I really couldn't handle that class. It is not like I haven't taken classes like it before and pushed myself, but to have it last all day! Yes, I haven't worked out in a week or so, but am I really that out of shape! Now I am afraid to take the class again because I was seriously miserable today and don't want to experience that again! But, if I don't continue taking classes like these then I will never be in shape. So, maybe next time I will just take my water bottle and take it easy......even though I feel like the youngest one there that should have all this energy and really don't! I'm a loser.

Summer cleaning

I should have gotten pics of Brec with me cleaning but didn't so I will tell you all about. Today I didn't have Ava from 12:30 to 3:00 and normally she is fine while I clean and will just play, but for some reason I was just in the mood to clean. So I decided to clean out this new double jogging stroller/hooks onto your bike thing (don't know what they are called) that I got from a garage sale for $5.00 that looked like it was in great condition, plus they were people from our ward that sold it to me. Anyways, I noticed some dark brown stuff and then smelled my rag and discovered it was poo. Dog poo to be exact. It was really hard and crusty and just stuck on there. Apparently they had a dog that would ride in this thing and forgot to clean out the mess. Anyways, I cleaned it thoroughly and hosed it down as well. Brec loved the hosing part. So, I got the idea that since I had the hose out that I wanted to spray down the garage and then I got excited and wanted to spray down the back patio in the backyard as well. Once I get started cleaning and am in the mood I just keep going and going until I am done. Well, with two spiders, two scorpions, one striped lizard, and one little Brec who was licking and sucking water off the garage floor, I was finally done. I still managed to bathe Brec and I was able to shower before I needed to pick up Ava. I felt like it was an accomplished day! Seriously, though, don't you just keep looking at things day to day and wish you had the time to clean or organize something and you just don't ever get to it and get caught up in doing the regular everyday chores that you do? I still have many more projects to do so hopefully I can continue and not just be lazy in the afternoon!!!
