What?????

I have been working out with Wii Fit recently and Gracie like to do the run. She usually goes after my hour workout but today I let her go first. When she was done I got all set up to exercise, went back through the menu to get to the body test, etc. I stepped on the board and it did the "calculating"... all was good until... It said, "That's obese!" and scored my BMI at 92.5. Then it said, "You've gained 153 pounds since last time." At this point I'm in total panic for about 2 seconds, ready to smash the Wii, the TV and anything else I can get my hands on.

Finally, I get a clear head and realized I hadn't changed over to my Mii and was weighing in on Gracie's profile. YIKES!!! I told one of the boys about it and he said, "Mom, wouldn't you already be dead with that kind of BMI?" That made me feel better. LOL


Since I haven't posted in a while I will include a picture that has nothing to do with the post but it is cute anyway. We've been busy but nothing really blog worthy. I will catch up soon.

Visit with family

Last week we went home to Alabama to visit family. It was a whirlwind few days that included good food, family visits, fishing trips for some of the guys, wrestling matches in the yard, wrestling pay per views for some, a girly day trip to Atlanta to visit the American Girl Boutique and Bistro and a quick stop off at Downtown Disney on the way home for a dinner at T-Rex Cafe. We had a great time but came home exhausted and the trip was too short.

Yard work

What is the newest fashion in yard work? Well, if you are princess Gracie you have your own style.

Daddy started the day by putting on some pink play shorts and a striped tank. Good job dad! When it was time for yard work Gracie wanted to help but she had to get shoes on. She chose the zebra print rain boots. Then she wanted a hat so she chose a beach hat that matches last year's bathing suit. To top off the ensemble she put on her ladybug sunglasses.

What do you think? Is she a trend setter?

Working out with Wii Fit

I have started exercising with Wii Fit and Gracie absolutely has a blast playing with it. Here she is working it.




She also loves playing board games. Here is a cute picture of Chase & Maureen playing a game with her.

Mother's Day

Thanks to my family, I had a wonderful day. Rodney took us out to a nice lunch after church and even bought cupcakes for me. He and the kids bought me a wonderful gift.


I've been having a few issues with my old camera and also wanted a more telephoto lens. They bought me the kit that came with the camera body and two lenses, a carrying case and other accessories. Very nice!

This was also the first year for handmade gifts from Gracie. I always enjoyed these when the boys were little and now the fun starts all over again. Here is what she made in her pre-K classes this week.




At church today the children decorated little cookbooks that the kids' ministry workers made for Mother's Day gifts. On the back were some questions to answer about their mom. Here is the one Gracie made for me.




It was a very good day!

Box Princess

Why do kids always love boxes? She has played with it for almost 2 hours.

It's been a while

Between being busy and my MacBook being in the shop, I haven't posted in a while. Things are all good here. The boys are very busy. Dylan is finishing his school for the year this week. Blake is trying out for football at school. Chase is working and going to school. They are all doing very well. Gracie is loving her preschool class, has been doing tumbling and has finished her last session. She is now doing a cheer clinic. She is loving every minute of it.

Here are a few pictures.
