Go Team Bomber!!

Spring softball is in full swing.
Funny though cause it doesn't feel like spring at all.
Booooo you Utah weather.
We're playing for Bountiful again this year.
So didn't want to..
Wanted to stay close to home
But that didn't happen.
We still got to put together a team from the RP
Some new players, some old players
It definitely has been a busy couple weeks
Trying to do our daily task with softball added to it
Finally today the girls had their first game of the season
We all looked forward to it
Especially the returning players
We were excited for our newbies
And so proud of them
It definitely was a great game
I was proud of them all
The team looks good
Definitely excited for this year
Lets go TEAM BOMBER!!!

Lighten Up Challenge…

I love challenges, but no worries this is not my challenge
I was camping on FB one day and saw an update by Big Budah
about a weight loss challenge from Fox13
First person to come to my mind was…My husband
He is always talking about wanting to go on Biggest Loser
Always on their website trying to figure out what needs to be done
Trying to talk me into being his partner and this and that…
Hello, I’m fat..but I ain’t going on national tv with my fat…hahaha
So I call him and tell him about it, He’s excited
Anyhoo, he fills out the app and answers questions and everything..
And guess what… He was chosen….YAY
And if you watched Fox13’s 9 oclock news last nite
You would have seen my big kool-aid cheesy smiling husband LOL
Can’t forget to mention, he was in his Coca-Cola uniform hahaha
He didn’t wanna change out of his work clothes
He wanted to represent…whateva
So anyhoo, My honey and 4 other peeps were chosen from 300 app’s
To compete in Fox13’s Lighten Up Challenge..
Winner wins a trip for two to San Diego…I hope I’m one of the two..hahaha
Competition is for 60 days, with that comes free trainer at Gold’s Gym
One free meal the whole 60 days from Sizzlers and
He’ll receive a 6 months free membership to Gold’s Gym
I hope he wins… And I hope that while he’s at it, I can shed some pounds.
No good if the hubby is smaller than me…buhahahaha
This will hopefully motivate me to eat right…my weakness
They’ll be weighing in on Monday..it’ll be on the news, not sure what time though
So look out for Team Foi and pray he does well…
GO TEAM FO’I…YAY!!!!!!

Band Concert

Someone once told me,
Learning to play an instrument
helps making learning in school
much easier...No lie.
So when it was time for my big boi
to pick electives for the school year,
I talked him into a music class
learning to play the trumpet..
I'm such a pushy mom..hehe
Being the good son that he is,
he gave in and signed up
and now he really enjoys it.
Thats the dork in him..hehe
I love that he can read music now
And tries to play everything with music notes
even from the Hymn book
I love listening to him try to play
The Spirit of God
Army of Helaman
and soooo forth
Its such a joy to watch him play
and love it
Tonite we attended his school band concert
I was dreading it..lol
but after hearing them play
i could not stop smiling
i was amazed at their progression
I felt sooo proud
When I figure it out,
I'll add a video..

Meet Mr Crane Fly


Meet my babygirl and her science project the "Crane Fly".
For several weeks she had to do research on her insect. 
We visited the library and checked out several insect books.  However, none of them had anything on Mr Crane..haha  Guess we should have checked it before we took them home.
Of course, good ol' Mr Internet would have all the info she would need. 
Printed out info galore on her insect and had learn and study her insect.
She put together her report (on the back of her board)
With the help of daddy created Mr Crane with clay.
Labeled each body part.
Turned project in and also had to present her project to her class.
I'm sooo proud of her.  She was really excited for her project and got good remarks and feedback from her teacher.
She loved doing this project.  And was amazed at all her friends projects.  Some students made their insect from a cake, cupcake, marshmallows, foam etc.. Creative young minds. 

Temple Square

Our Beehives class activity this month was at the Temple Square.
It was a scavenger hunt.
Listen to the message at the Christus.
Go through the God's Plan for Family presentation.
Learn more about the Tabernacle.
Listened to the Mo-Tab choir practice.
Talk with the sister missionaries about why they chose to serve.
Watch a short film at the visitor center.
Go to the top floor of the JS building to the restaurant. Find info.
Where and what is written on the temple.
And sooo forth...
We had a good time.
The girls were loved the messages shared there.
Was reminded of the importance of families.
Learned a few new things.
I could not believe what I've been missing out on.
I live 5 minutes away and never taka a minute to check it out.
It definitely will be a good family night out location.
I love my calling and being able to serve the young women.
The Beehives are a fun group of girls.
They make my calling easy to do.
I love their excitement with everything we do and learn.
And the sweet spirit they bring into all that we do.
Forgot the camera in the car...Boo me!!!

Zumba...What!!!

Remember my "Yay Me" post,
Well I'm still going at it.
Been going several times a week to workout.
Been TRYING to change my eating ways.
Having a hard time there.
But working out is doing me some good.
So I hope I can keep it up and make a lifestyle change.
I started to do Zumba again too.
When I can.  Here locally in RP.
Well FINALLY I let my girls talk me into going to Bountiful.
I heard great things and heard it was hard work.
I love Zumba cause its pretty much dancing.
I use to LOVE to dance.
But then I got married and my husband doesn't dance..LOL
Anyhoo, I LOVED LOVED LOVED Teresa's class..
I love her moves
Even when I'm uncordinated and clumsy
I love the music
Pumping loud and hard
I love her energy she puts into it
She had every fat in my body jiggling. LOL
She had my stomach hurting cause it was soo intense.
She had me sweating in places I didn't realize I could sweat LOL
I felt like I just sweated 50 lbs off...I wish it were true. Hahaha
I LOVED it so much I'm already gonna go back.
Who ever thought up Zumba is a genius.
