Update

Since I started going to my boot camp a couple months ago, I've pretty much gone 5 days a week with few exceptions. Last week they started their new 90 day challenge that I did not sign up for and it was so liberating. I skipped 3 times last week because I didn't have to take it so dang seriously. These people are total fitness maniacs but hey, that's the name fitmania, ha. Anyway I still really like going but sometimes I have other things going on in my life and I don't necessarily want to have to go to bed super early like a grandma and get up super early to work out. I did some Biggest Loser workout DVD's instead. Anyway I'm paid up until the middle of July so I'm still going to go but I'm not going to revolve my life around it anymore. Hooray for me. Moderation in all things right? To do the challenge they take a before and after picture in your skivvies and weigh you and measure you and post it on the internet. This is not a mentally healthy thing for me as I have tended to be either overweight or nearly anorexic when I'm overly concerned about such things. Plus they don't eat any sugar or processed food. I can't imagine, although I'm sure it's a good idea. All things in moderation! Anyway nobody cares about this I'm sure.

Things with the kids are pretty usual, play dates, story time, bk lunch date, bike rides, books, lots of coloring, Netflix. Corbin has been begging for a mohawk haircut so I gave him one. I can't handle the trail in the back so I just left it long on top. He loves it. He's pretty excited school is getting out soon. 

On Friday night we had a family bbq at Gabe's house. Chase and Rachel were driving through on their move from tornado alley OK to Portland, OR for Chase's PA school. There was some delicious food and even better conversation into the night. Scott and I drove separate cars so he could take the kids home to bed and I could still stay late. Bless him. I could really go for some more of Jory's artichoke dip about right now!

Gabby quotes:"Mom, we never call you mother, we call you mom always...sometimes I call you Mitzi."

"Mom, I'm so hot that my head has tears." Haha!

I got a new rug and painted my coffee table. I also thought a picture of my family room actually clean and tidy was worthy of a picture as well. I'm sure it lasted several minutes.

I forgot to mention another favorite thing about my little Ry Guy. If I put out my finger he will come and grab it and walk with me. Be still my soul!

Game time! Ryan is sucking on a game piece over there I think. Nice!

Little Pipes got invited to her first birthday party and my little outgoing spitfire wasn't having any part of it. After a half an hour of holding on to her clinging for dear life and saying "this isn't excited for me" I got the heck out of there. 

It was a superhero theme and there were lots of fun obstacle courses and all kinds of cute things and Piper wasn't feeling any of it!

Corbin's "new 'do"

Ryan sleeps in a pack in play in our closet, (like all our babies minus Corbin). He will sit just like that in his "bed" and rock dang hard and loud at all different hours of the night. He never makes a peep verbally in the night but at least once a night, usually more he can be heard throughout the whole house rocking in his crib. It's so weird and funny. My twin brother's Alex and Lance would rock together all the time on the couch. We have home video of it. It's hilarious! Alex's daughter Lexi does the exact same thing, if she is happy she runs over to rock on the couch, anxious, sad, whatever the mood she rocks all the time. I'm not sure if Ryan has the Beal rocking gene or not but it's hilarious and a little weird. Ha.
