JoJo You...

JoJo You Are:

•A "Mota" boy...that is short for Kabota.  You want your very own Mota for our house.  Every time we drive by the Kabota Dealership you actually get upset that you can't have one.

•You want to be a backhoe, or an excavator operator when you grow up.

•You also want to be a Police Officer when you grow up.  You asked me yesterday if you get turn into one and I told you when you grow up.  Then you asked if you could grow up now.  I told you No, and you got upset that you couldn't grow up right that instant.  But you want to be a police officer so you can have a taser, a gun, and handcuffs, and a police car.

•You love to eat blueberries and salad.  

•You are so helpful.  You always want to help me do stuff around the house.

•You are my forklift.  When I do laundry and need towels put away, I yell, "Forklift."  You come running down the hall making tractor noises with your arms extended and get the towels and take them to the closet.

March Memory Works Sneak Peek

Go here to order, or you can email me too.  I hope you all had a great three day weekend.  We did, except for we were lazy with a capital L.  I know I'm going to hate myself tomorrow for it, but oh well.  At least I made it to the store so we have food.

Ripped in 30

I've been doing this DVD for the past week, and I have to tell you that I am DYING!  My legs, and butt are so stiff and sore it is a miracle I'm not traveling in a wheelchair.  

But despite that, I really like this DVD.  It's a circut:  Strength, Abs, and Cardio.  Jillian is a little annoying in the video.  Sorry, Jillian, you are my favorite Biggest Loser Trainer, but I had to say it.  What I love about this DVD is that it is only about 25 minutes give or take, a workout.  25 minutes, that is so easy to fit into a schedule.  I do it when I get home from school.  Then I have the rest of the evening to do what I need...at half speed due to the soreness.  But, it does feel so good to be sore.  And I already feel so much better.  I really needed to start working out again, and I'm really, really glad that I have.  

My workout schedule goes like this:

Saturday:  Week One

Sunday, Monday: Week One

Tuesday:  Rest

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday:  Week One

Saturday:  Rest

Sunday:  Week 2

And so on and so forth for week 3 and 4. 

Just thought I'd share.

And Check this poor little boy out:

This is what happens when you run into a wall at full speed.   The boys were running around chasing each other last night and all of the sudden we hear a big bang, and Wolfie yell, "Are you okay?"  Then he came running into the bedroom to tell us that Maddie was bleeding.  The poor thing...he sat on the couch with me for 40 minutes, and his mouth was still bleeding.  His gums above his teeth are really bruised, and he almost bit through his bottom lip.  The poor kid hasn't eaten much today because his mouth hurts.  I feel so bad for him.

I'll be back tomorrow to post a layout...a Valentine's Day one.  Can you believe it?  I can't.  I'm usually not up with the holidays until ten months later.  

And, I guess I'll wait on our family photo until Maddie's lip returns to normal size.  I wanted to do something cute this month.  

February Self Portrait

Disclaimer:  No I am not drunk, nor was I drunk at the time this photo was taken.  And no I was not on my way to rob a bank.  

These are just some of the comments I got on my Facebook post when I put it on there.  I  took the photo at 9 am before parent-teacher conferences.  I thought I'd mix up these self portraits a bit.  And, I also want to try printing my Mariphone photos from Postal Pix.  It's an app that I can use to upload photos and have them printed directly from my phone!  That sounds like the best idea ever...and I don't see how the picture quality could possibly be worse than Walgreens.  So basically, it's a win-win situation.  

I am coming up with a few fun photo ideas for our February Family Portrait...I'm hoping procrastination will not set in.  The only other problem is that Erik's schedule makes it difficult to take photos in the morning when the best light is available.  So everyone keep their fingers crossed.

So Sweet (8.5x11 Layout)

Supplies are from Memory Works Express Kit (don't know the month)

This layout goes in the January Section of our Project Life Album.  It was fun to do an 8.5x11 layout.  I really like that size.  It's not as intimidating to fill the entire page.  On the other hand, you can't put as many pictures on it either. 

That is my friend, Val.  We've been friends since Kindergarten.  We went to her parents house for her birthday.  It was the first time I was back there in ages.  I spent so much time with her and her family growing up.  It was surreal to take my own children there.  And it makes me think about how different their childhood is from mine.  And that makes me a little bit sad.  I don't want city life for my kids.  The kids had a great time, and I will definitely be taking them back.  

Here's where I stuck the layout in the album.  I like the different sized pages together.
