You may have seen our new purchase…

If you’re friends with me on Facebook, you may have seen that my parents, my sister and her husband, and Jon and I, all went in together and bought an RV. We are so excited about it!! This picture is from the day Jon and Billy went to pick it up. We are all so proud!

The kids also had to check out the new ride.

None of us really wanted to be the first to take it somewhere without the others, so we all decided to go to a campground close by this weekend. And by close I mean 5 miles from our house. We went to the KOA park in Denham Springs, less than a mile off the interstate. World travelers we are! Really, we wanted to make sure everything worked and that everyone knew how to work everything and set it all up. So Jon, the girls and I headed out Friday afternoon and waited for my parents and my sister to meet us out there.

The girls were super-excited even though they really had no idea what was going on. I think they could see that we were excited and just got wound up and so silly!

After we all joined up, the men hooked everything up and we had dinner. Even this little man got to enjoy himself.

Aliza had too much fun hanging with her Honey and Papa.

There isn’t enough room for us all to sleep, so my parents and my sister each only spent one night and Jon and I and the girls slept in the RV both nights. The girls slept on the dinette that turns into a bed. Surprisingly, they slept great!

We got up slowly, watched movies, went walking, and just generally hung around.

For dinner Saturday night, we brought some BBQ and side dishes. Then we did smores and sat by the fire while the kids watched a movie. They now make flat marshmallow's specifically for smores. Have you seen these? Genius!

It was a really laid back and relaxing first camping trip. We are all ready for many more fun memories to be made.

Now we are heading out to a campground on the beach this weekend, Thursday thru Sunday. We are bringing Jon’s nephew and godson, Jaret, along for the ride. Wish us luck!!

Run. I ran on the treadmill finally today, for the first time since I got pregnant with Marielle. I have been working out on and off since I was 19. I was in college and I noticed that I was out of shape since playing high school volleyball (that first year of college may have also contributed to my out-of-shapeness) and decided to join a gym. I got a trainer and had a few workouts and I stuck with it pretty well through college. When I met Jon, he worked out as well, so it was easy for me to keep up with it. When we got married, we both worked out (usually) 4 days a week. We would get up at 5:00 and go to our separate gyms (I go to an all women’s gym) Monday through Thursday. I even continued to work out all through out my pregnancy with Marielle, but I couldn’t run from the very beginning. When I found out I was pregnant, I kept working out just as hard as usual and started spotting, so I quit running and eased up on my workouts. That was about October or November of 2007. Afte...

A friend in need.

I have a friend. An old friend. A funny friend. A favorite friend. Her name is Jaime Marrs. She was one of my 5 friends at my actual wedding and has been such a fun part of my life. I met Jaime just before my sophomore year in high school, probably in the summertime when we started practicing volleyball. She was a freshman who made the team, but man, what I remember most about her was her attitude. It's not so much that she had a bad attitude, it was that she always had a scowl on her face. I didn't like her. She didn’t talk much and didn’t smile. And she was dating one of the hottest seniors. How dare her? Anyway, one day she didn't have a ride home from volleyball practice. I was riding home with Jill, and Jill offered her a ride. On this ride we talked and laughed and I realized that this scowled-faced girl was pretty funny. I guess the rest is history because Jaime became one of my best friends throughout the rest of high school, through college, through kids, and sti...
