A Foggy Morning

YMCA-Part 2 (no longer singing)

I tried kickboxing...ouch. There was kicking...and punching...and running...and squats...and kicking...and punching...and... Every muscle in my body is sore, but I LOVED the class and can't wait to go back next Friday.

YMCA (are you singing??)

Houston is home to the 4th largest YMCA in the country, and it's right down the street! We just joined today and I am SO excited! The cardio machines have personal tvs, the weight room (yes, a seperate room!) has machines I've never even seen before, dumbells in all the in-between weights like 7.8 lbs, 12.5 lbs, etc., TONS of free group classes like kickboxing, yoga, pilates, Zumba, and Body Combat, a women's only fitness room, indoor pool, outdoor pool, family pool, outdoor running track, a kid/teen center in a seperate building, and an amazing child care room with a rock climbing wall and every toy you could imagine. Ahh..that was a mouthful. But can you tell how excited I am??!!

Even animals are nicer in the South

Addicted to Scrabble

Most people know I have a love for word games, and usually do quite well in them. So my Mom was especially excited to play a word in Scrabble that kept me fighting for the rest of the game. That's because she scored 97 points in ONE play!!! The word? "Bolvines", which was played using all 7 letters (a 50 pt. bonus) on a triple word score, a double letter score, and also finished another word. Man-oh-man! Definitely worthy of a picture.

Happy Halloween

We had a pretty princess and a vicious vampire this year.

Happy Birthday, Michaela!

Our baby turned 4 yesterday. I can't believe it! We started out the day with Birthday Pancakes, then had storytime at the library, a birthday lunch, signed up for karate, and finished the day with cake and presents. She was very excited to get all the phone calls from family, especially her older cousins that she looks up to SOOO much.
