Speaking of Aunt Jessica, here is a teaser for the birthday posts going down...er...up tomorrow (with luck and fortitude). We've got a Mick mouse/min mouse die hard in the house. Brace yourself for adorableness over load. Thanks aunt Jessica for the stylish dress and thanks Aunt Jaymie for ensuring it ended up in her tiny little hands on her birthday party day!!
P.S. it appears we were getting tacos again...maybe we go more than once a week...maybe.
I posted this to facebook when I took it but it warrants a post. We go out for tacos at least once a week at the famed 'Papa's and Beer.' You can imagine the approving looks we get when Deven tells strangers that his mama and daddo take him there. No worries though, it's just a restraunt with a terrible name...a.k.a lake Stevens. I digress. Any how Dev wanted me to take a picture of him to send to Aunt Jessica who's currently in South Africa saving the world. :). So I gladly did and Tova of course got in on the action. Cutness.
Tova and I didn't get to many games due to bedtime but we made a few thanks to my boss being busy. We bought a couple extra tickets at one of the final games of the season and made it a family thing. We met up with the Silvertips' biggest fan too.
So, I'm not huge on "me" blogs but I'm super proud if things I've been up to lately so you'll see a couple here this summer. Here's the first one.
For all of March I signed up for this "thing" called the Open. The way I explain it is It's like when you sign up for a run BUT the run happens every weekend for five weeks and you never know when you're going to run until Friday of each week.
In this case though its not running, it's weight lifting. Lifting weights, lifting your body, lifting a 14lb ball a.million times, listing your super heavy.feet fast enough to accomplish double unders. If I hadn't been doing stuff like this for the previous 9 months I would have said it was the hardest thing I've ever done beside carry deven around for 9 months and not sleep with Tova for 11 months. Ok, nevermind, it was the hardest thing except for those two other things. :).
I think the best thing that came out of it was some confidence. I had no freaking idea I could do a chest to bar pull up. It wasnt pretty but I did a few...or maybe 14...but who's counting? Oh ya, the judges that were standing right next to me the whole time...counting.
Here is a sample of pictures from the 4th and 5th week.
And here are my official results page. I ended up around the high end of average for NW region which I was again super surprised about. I can honestly say I'm already better than this and can't wait to see where I land next year.
P.S., I left Deven at class the other day whilst showing his buddy how to do push ups and burpees. Fitness example, done!
How can a parent deny their kiddo the chance to catapult themselves down a huge inflatable slide? I havn't come up with a logic explanation for Deven and thus we go EVERY time we are invited out to the Monroe bouncy house Mecca. Almost if not all parties have been here this year. Thankfully Deven has not mentioned it for his and I will not bring it up. Here is a sample of the fun. Straight up though if you find yourself in Monroe, Jump Rattle and Roll...It's pretty dang cool. I've been known to catapult myself down the slide a time or two.
So its been almost two months since I jumped on here and let [you] in on our goings on. Stay tuned for end of March, April and begining of May updates. Handy dandy new app for blogger will hopefully make updates much more frequent.
