my guys love riding on the lawnmower


how sweet are these pictures? the boys absolutely love riding on the lawnmower at my dad's house..the boys call him "gramps" {side note: they love riding the lawnmower at anyone's house..i just happened to get pics of them with my dad's lawnmower on these occasions} tonight when we went over to my parent's house, they were of course riding around the yard with pears in hand {the boys think they are apples, but my parent's apple tree doesn't really produce much fruit..the pear tree; however, produces some really yummy pears!} they wanted their daddy to drive them around, so after a quick switcharoo they were back at it! i love how happy they are! i love my guys!

i wish you could scratch and sniff this post!

i just mopped my floors with this stuff and my house smells AMAZING!!!
seriously..it's ridiculously good!
you know how when you're pregnant and you like to smell the laundry detergent..oh you didn't do that? i thought everyone did that..or maybe you just liked the smell of the Swiffer WetJet spray..i liked that too. well this is perfect because it makes your entire house smell like the detergent! :)

i also bought a few Febreeze Noticeables dual scent plugins...yes i bought the Gain scented one! it's awesome! i put one in my bedroom and the other in the living room..i would probably put one in every room, but jonah keeps trying to pull them out of the wall..ugh, baby proofing.

so just wanted to tell you that my house smells good today. and that's a really important thing in a house full of stinky boys.

Weight Loss Wednesday

can i please get an amen that this summer has flown by! i just blinked and it's almost august! we've been swimming a lot, had a great party for Jonah's first birthday {more to come on that tomorrow hopefully}, had a few play dates here and there with some good friends, celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary {i'll post soon on that too}, and have been staying inside due to the unbearable 100+ temps everyday. we've even taken to just walking through walmart or target just to get out and escape the heat!

we kinda let the diet slide for the past couple of weeks, but have decided to really start hitting the gym hardcore again and stick to the diet!! we just switched gyms {the new one is closer and offers a lot more} and i'm gonna start doing Zumba in the mornings and then working out with jamie at night; we might even try out the beginner's spinning class on tuesday nights! {they also have better childcare hours so we can take the boys with us at night when we go together}

jamie is just about to hit the 40 lb lost mark!! i'm so proud of him! i'm still holding strong at -15 lbs..i've hit this plateau that i just can't seem to break..but i know it's gonna happen! i still want to lose around 40 or 50 lbs...i can already feel my body getting so much stronger! it's been so long since i've had any resemblence of "abs"...i'm nowhere close to a 6 pack, but i can feel the muscles underneath the fat and it's a great feeling!

the new gym also offers trainers at no additional cost, so i'll totally be taking them up on that and hopefully they can help whip my booty into shape :)

well, i hear jonah waking up from his nap, so i gotta run..good luck to all you other ladies out there participating in weight loss wednesday!

Weight Loss Wednesday

lost this week -1 pound!

(this is actually from last week...i'm pretty sure that i'm down more than this, but i don't go off my home scale, only the gym and i have not weighed in this week due to some crazy heat exhaustion...have you ever experienced that?? it's the pits! i haven't been able to work out this week..but i've gained some strength back today and went walking around our neighborhood for about 20 minutes...i also have the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred dvd that i might try later today)

ME
goal: -55 lbs by December vacation to Disney!!!
total lost: -11.75lbs
to go: -43.25 lbs!

JAMIE
goal: -100 lbs
total lost: -26 lbs
to go: 74 lbs!

can i just say how proud i am of jamie!! he is looking so good and keeping me so very accountable...even when i don't want to be held accountable :) i know he is feeling so much better about himself and everyone is noticing his weight loss!! keep it up honey!!!
