weekend fun :)

It was a wonderful weekend. The girls spent the night with my parents on Friday so Brandon and I had a night off. Then Saturday was pretty relaxing. We went to a cookout then came home and relaxed, got in the hot tub, did some reading. Sunday Sophia swam in her new pool (the orange one popped) and bella was splashing along the sides with her hands and accidentally fell in, it took her breath away. she didnt care for it too much after that.

also, some of the flowers we planted last weekend are looking really beautiful. we actually all look at them every day, its really exciting.

this coming weekend we are going to try to take the girls to the St. Louis Zoo, maybe even spend the night down there and take the girls to Chuck E Cheez. sophia would have a ball, but i think brandon and i would have even more fun to be honest. and their pizza is fantastic, too, if i remember right. although my childhood memories of the place involve rushed eating to get to the games.

Planting Flowers

today we were landscaping. picked out TONS of flowers and plants, etc. then we (mostly me, brandon was pruning, sophia played with the water hose and bella slept) planted them in pots to stick upstairs and around the building. it really was a lot of fun just to spend some time outside!

tomorrow is day one of the diet brandon and i are starting. we were looking at a picture of the two of us from 4 years ago, and it looks like we ate those people. we both have the will-power but lack the motivation to start, but looks like we have finally gotten that motivation.

goal: by september 1st i want to lose 10 lbs, have washboard abs, and grow 6 inches.
