More Hours in a Day!

I feel like I have been a horrible blogger lately! Just 2 more hours in a day would be GREAT! I have recently joined the YMCA and have spent a lot of my free time there working out at least 2 hours a day and have really enjoyed it. However, it is taking away from what little time I have at home! Oh well, the working out has been WONDERFUL! As seen in the above picture that was taken a few weeks ago, I have lost some weight. The biggest loser ended last Monday and have yet to hear any results. UGH to corporate! More than willing to take money, but procrastinate giving it out! Go figure! I am sitting with one of my favorite residents in this picture. She is a feisty thing and I LOVE it!

And here are a few pictures from this weekend. The funniest thing about this weekends trip to Big Rapids and Baldwin...from the time it was planned until we were packed and on the road...10 minutes!!! Rob, Jen and I were going to go to lunch at this place that Rob had been telling us about. We were going to leave the kids at home to play and have Kenny watch the girls for us so we could enjoy some adult time with no kids asking us millions of questions or complaining! We were getting ready to go, and Emmy looked at me and said, "Mommy, can I please go?" and stuck out her bottom lip, clasped her hands together and begged! Of course I am not going to say no because I miss her so much during the week when I am at work. So, I told little miss that she could go with. Well, the night before, Rob and Jen had taken her to the Y to go swimming. She thought that is what we were doing Saturday afternoon and that is why she wanted to go. She ran to the counter, grabbed her swimsuit and she was ready to go to the "waterpark!" I tried to tell her we were going to eat, but she wanted to go to the waterpark. I just figured she would be heartbroken when we arrived at the restaurant and would quickly get over it. I guess I am a lot tougher than Rob because he felt bad. So, he asked us if we wanted to make a quick last minute weekend trip to go check out his property up in Baldwin and we would just stay in a hotel in Big Rapids. I looked at him, asked him if this was only because of little miss wanting to go swimming. He turned around, went back into the house and said he had to make hotel reservations and avoided my question all together!!! Yup, a trip to check the property so little miss could go swimming! Sadly, when we got to the hotel, they informed him that a pipe had burst in the pool and hot tub and everything was closed!!!! He informed the guy that he just drove for 3 hours so his niece could swim at the "waterpark" and NEEDED something! Luckily, there was one room open that had a jacuzzi tub in it. Rob snatched it up and Emily was THRILLED! He threw in tons of bubbles and the girls had so much fun. It was a nice quick getaway. Back to work tomorrow!
