My Biggest Pet Peeve.....

WHO works out like this????? As I walked through the gym this morning I couldn't help but notice all the women surrounding me were freshly showered, hair done, makeup, and complete with the "little outfits". What???? I wished I had taken a pic of myself as something for you to all compare to but here goes...

green abercrombie sweats with bleach stains

black sports bra(very faded)

white plain tshirt

NO makeup, my hair in a pony with hair sticking out everywhere, and I don't even think I remembered to brush my teeth before I came.

Should I be embarrassed? I go to the gym so that I can feel good, look good for my husband, and just stay healthy. I think at my gym they must be doing the fitness competition for some beauty pagent every day. Now don't get me wrong, if your single, the gym can be a great pick up place but I saw many wedding rings. Do they break a sweat with their long hair perfectly roundbrushed down their back and makeup ready for the day? Oh and d on't forget the lipstick with liner! Obviously these women do it for someone. The Men(boys) or is it competition for the other women? As I walked through the gym I couldn't help but feel like I was some PWT that needed to be working out to Richard Simmons(Sweatin to the oldies) in the living room of my trailer home! lol! Will I change the way I dress when I go to the gym? Hell NO! More power to all those women who waste so much time getting ready but My old sweats are the best!!!!

2 new additions to our family.....

You either love them or hate them but...I love rats! We got two little boys, george(curious george) is tan and white and Templeton(charlottes web) is gray and white. They are so sweet. When they hear my voice they run to the door of their cage looking for yummy frozen peas! Scott thinks I'm crazy but the kids absolutely love them. They love them so much that I had to put locks on the cage doors so that they can't get them out. I didn't want them lose somewhere in my house!

I had to post a pic of Jax's lastest sack lunch. He put Beefaroni in his ever famous little ziplock baggie and had entire bag of bbq chips ready to go. I love how healthy he wants to eat! Takes after his dad!

I had to tell everyone how proud I am of Jesse and Tyler! They just finished their Scuba certification and passed their tests! They were in classes with all adults and were a little intimidated by that but they both loved it. Scott is taking them on a 3 day diving trip to Catalina in July. They are super excited!

Jax's lunch....

I had to post this funny story about Jax! Scott has been "trying" to go off of caffiene and so he now is drinking caffeine free Pepsi for every Pepsi he drinks. Jax loves this because Scott now can share his Pepsi with him, never mind the Sugar! Well..Scott and I were getting ready for the day and Jax comes marching in our room to tell us he packed his lunch already. When we turned to see his "sack lunch" we were laughing so hard! He said, after we told him that probably wasn't a good lunch, " but its Petsi without taffiene!" Oh the things our children learn from us is scary! I love and hate watching him grow! He told me today he was a 6 yr old, not 3. Why do they try to grow up so fast?????

Back to Reality!

We had such an amazing vacation. This was the view from our room. I loved this place! I laid on the beach everyday and read 5 books! It was Heaven! Scott became Scuba certified while I did nothing! Beautiful beaches and country side and great people. It is definetly so much poorer then Mexico. 34 peso's to the dollar instead of 10 like Mexico. It was Holy week while we were there so the kids were out of school and they were everywhere waving but never begging(like Mexico) just excited to see you. We went into a Dominican home which was the size of my kitchen(the whole house) and they are so happy and live so humble. I can see why missionaries love to serve in these countries. There are so many humble good people. We loved our servers in the buffets who knew us because all we drank was bottled water and Pepsi!

Now for the only 2 negatives about our trip..well ok actually 3. First and the worst...the resort was almost entirely european vacationing, no Americans anywhere....it was cool to hear all the languages and even talk to some from...Germany, Austria, France, Russia, England...but...despite the cool language they sunbath in a very unique way... they prefer only wearing bottoms and from the looks of it they haven't ever supported the sisters on top. If you know what I mean. Think brown, leather, down to the waist. So interesting...different culture i guess? By the end of the trip we had become somewhat desensitized to the sisters jogging down the beach(seriously) but couldn't get out of our head that its still wrong! The men also ONLY wear speedo's and the funniest is the last day we had a guy next to us that was laying out on is stomach and put his speedo up his bum cheeks like a thong so he could tan his bum! Seriously...so gross! I couldn't look at him or I would crack up laughing!
Second were all the Chain Smokers! We are in this beautiful place, laying on the beach and the trails of smoke are everywhere! Do they have a high rate of lung disease or cancer? I would be so curious to know!
Third, you have to be so careful what you eat and drink...they tell you to not even let water from the shower in your mouth and you brush with bottled water too. Well despite all this Scott got sick and it was not fun! He spent alot of time on the toilet for 3 days and even when we got home! I loved the food! I had fresh fruit everyday and thats the part I miss the most!

Heaven.....

Jadyn's braces gone!!

NO Braces!!! I have not blogged forever so I'm going to blog all of it now! Jadyn got her braces off right before we left for DR. She will have them off for only a year and then get them back on again but she loves the break she has right now without them!

Rockstar Kwa-fyur photoshoot...

My life has been so crazy! We have felt for so long that we needed to have our own product line and we have finially just decided to do it. It is so much WORK!!!! I think if I had had any idea before I might not have ever started! Between trademark attorney's, chemists, finding bottles, design team, and everything else...AHHHHH! We just recieved our first samples from the chemists of shampoo and cond is coming soon...We had to do our first photo shoot yesterday. It was so much fun! These are pics I took, but look at my list of friends and Peekaboo Photo's and you can see of few that have been edited! It was a great experience. I was on my feet all day doing hair and trying to direct the shoot but we got some incredible pics. Thanks to all who helped! Allison, thank you for giving me the confidence to just do it! Everyone who helped with hair and our make artist Ashlee was amazing! Rich, Katie, and Dan are amazing photographers! Best of all were our beautiful models...the nicest, sweetest, girls. Beautiful on the inside and out.. Crazy right? Aren't models supposed to be diva's? These girls were far from that...

Jadyn and Pammy's Birthday...

Jadyn and my friend Pam both had their birthday this last week. I love them both so much. The best about Jadyn's birthday were her wrapped presents(the lovely bags)! She was a good sport and thought it was funny. She is growing up so fast especially when all she asks for her birthday is clothes! She asked me today if I had any clothes I didn't like anymore that she could have. She just knows she could make them fit! It seems like yesterday that I had her. She was so tiny at 6lbs 2ozs. She loves to do everything girly and is just quiet and sweet.
Jadyn is the best big sister and babysitter.
Beautiful Pam! I love this girl! She is an amazing mom and has taught me so much about being a mom and a wife! I'm not sure where I would be if it hadn't been for her shoulder to cry on and even sometimes her having to give it to me straight when I didn't want to hear it! Pam is one of those many special spirits that Heavenly Father put in my life at the right place and time. I am so grateful for her!!!

When do they stop cutting their own hair???

So Jesse was home from school sick today and decided to try and give himself a haircut! I was at our store so Scott said he would fix it. As you see he thought while he was fixing it he would play around a bit! Jesse is now Lex Luther! Totally bald! The funny thing is I just thought..o-well...he could have done worse...right?

SNOW!!!!

We had so much Snow today! It has been crazy this year! I don't remember the last time it snowed this much but my kids love it! We got home from stake conference and they all just stayed outside and played. The best was Jax's pants would come down as he was running and his big sister, Jadyn, would come to his rescue! Our Dog Brutis was right in the middle of all of it too! Scott built a little sled hill and they used his snowboard to slide down it and loved every minute of it! Tomorrow we told them we would buy them real snow clothes and real sleds! Stay tuned!!!
