As a mother I always feel so accomplished on the last day of school! Weird, I know. knowing that I got both kids to school, and they both have passed another grade is such a relief. It is so not easy getting them up and ready, and some days begging them to get out of the car! I am so glad for the break! Today they will be home by noon. My sister Amber and her Husband are celebrating their 10th anniversary this weekend, so I have their kids coming home with mine. I am going to have a full house of very excited kids! Tonight they are all going to My Moms and Chucks for a sleep over. My sis Nat is coming up too! Fun Times!
Tuesday night we had an awesome Thunderstorm! Terrifying to my kids, but really amazing. My young Women were over and got to see first hand how crazy my family is....poor girls. Never a dull moment at my house during a storm! Afterwords it took a few hours to calm my kids down. Now that it is summer I will be getting them back into the psychologist more frequently.
Yesterday we got half our garden planted. in the past I have done up to 40 tomato plants. This year just 12. I am so fine with that, I just hate to feel overwhelmed. We also got our Green Beans in. I still need to get the cucumbers in , pumpkins, squash and potatoes. I will bottle my tomatoes and make salsa. i will bottle the green beans, and make pickles out of the cucumbers. The rest we just eat fresh.
I finally broke down and hired a personal trainer. I love to exercise, but making the time to do so is always my last priority. I can't help putting my family ahead of myself. It's my nature. It's no secret since having children I am Large....chubby whatever. But, you know what I will Never give up! Weight Watchers, personal trainer, hypnotism at night.....it's all worth it, as long as I do my best and I know it, that is all that matters....fat for the rest of my life ...or not. I don't know why Heavenly Father has chosen this to be my life experience ( I hate to say challenge) , but, I am sure there is something myself or someone around me is supposed to learn. Oh well, I am so excited to start with the trainer, I can barely contain myself :) 110% that is what I plan on giving to this :)
Things are still going to stay busy for the summer, but it is all fun. Gracie and Hayden are both taking tennis at the Sports Academy, Hayden is golfing every Wednesday in Preston. Wes' Brother will be down next week. My dad is coming over the 4th of July and again around he 24th of July. We plan on taking the kids to the Redwoods sometime. It all kicks of this weekend with Gracie's baptism and Piano recital!
YAY for Summer! YAY for fun! ~E

If anything Erin exercising will make you feel better.. Somedays even though the scale doesn't budge it feels good to get pushed outside of my comfort zone & have a good hard sweat! I am excited for you with your new trainer. You will have to let us know how it goes! :) For what it is worth you aren not alone. I look at Justin's ex & my ex's wife- both are thin.. I struggle to lose weight. I watch EVERYTHING I put in my mouth I exercise like a fool.. IT JUST ISN'T FAIR!!!! ;) BUT I wouldn't trade my issues of weight with their issues any day of the week.
You have a positive attitude about it & that is what will get you far!
Enjoy your weekend with the extra company & the kiddos last day of school!
woo hoo for summer and a personal trainer! i wish i could get one =) i need someone to push me to really get a good work out. you will have to keep everyone posted on how it is going!
