Work it out Girl.

So it's official, Blake and I are on our way to buff new bods. We have worked out, intensely, this entire week. Which is all of 3 days, but hey it's a great start! And we are eating super healthy. No carbs, no sugar for me. And no bacon on burgers for Blake. The funny thing is, I will probably lose zero weight and Blake will lose 10 lbs because he stops eating burgers for a day. But oh well, such things won't ruin my motivation! It's amazing how much happier you are when you work out, sounds cliche but so true! I'm happier, healthier, more regular. I threw that one in there for surprise value....maybe. So here is to our healthy choice 2010 endeavors, my nutrition teacher would be so proud. Now where's the molton chocolate cake from chili's. I want to be Jane Fonda, and of course Blake wants to be Fabio. Hello. He already has the belt.

Sick Stinky.

Jaxson has been sick again this week, turns out he has croupe again! Poor little guy. The doctors told Jen that they are seeing this ALOT in little kids right now, especially recurring cases. Poor little guy looks so sick, you can see it in his eyes! When we were there on Sunday he just wanted Blake to hold him. It was so cute. Here are a few pictures of Blake and his little buddy. We hope you get feeling better soon Jax! And you too Jen, she has gotten sick as well trying to take care of him and can't take any medication with her baby in her belly. We hope you two get better quickly!

Going Away Slash B-day Party!

Last Thursday the Pugh familia gathered for a belated B-day party for none other than myself, but we also celebrated Ness and Chad going away on their big adventure with Baby Chloe! The Christensen crew is headed off to summer sales in Boston this year! Not fair.... I think a visit out there this summer sounds like a stupendous idea! However it's going to take a miracle to get Blake in the Land of the Red Sox! But we had a great time with them, we are sad to see them go but excited for them to make some moooooolah! We love you Ness and Chad and hope you and zeeee behbeh have a fun and safe vacation! =)

Happy Thursday! Today is finally a happy day for me since I am officially done with finals!!! Woo. I took my last final last night and let me tell you, it was a doozy. I'm so glad to have it over with! And to add to the excitement, tonight is my big B-day party with my family! We are going to BBQ and party it up. And I can't wait! Poor Jax is sick and Jen is full with baby, but hopefully they can put up with my shenanigans for one night! On a side note, I just wanted to post a couple pictures of my hot husband. His hair is at my favorite point right now and I just love that he has little wings under his hat. HE IS GOING TO KILL ME FOR POSTING THIS THOUGH, SO SHHHHH Don't tell... But if you look close you can see them, woo! Party on Wayne.

Hottie Mcnaughty.

The Big 2-5

As if I would expect any less, Blake once again proved how amazing he is. Today for my birthday he had a plethora of surprises awaiting as soon as I got home from work. He had our house decorated from head to toe with balloons and streamers and the most beautiful bouquet of flowers ever! He had a fresh pack of Polar Ice laid out, the latest People magazine, an ice cold Diet Coke, and some sugar free jolly ranchers strung all over our counter. =) This man knows me alllll too well. Haha. After that he (luckily) gave me my present since I had been waiting patiently all day at work! You will have to scroll down and see the pictures of what was inside the giftbag. He printed off some nice pictures of some wonderful things, and I had to pull out a piece of paper to see what was said about them. Some of them gave me great hope.... while others helped me realize I will probably NEVER strike it rich through the lottery. But I got a sweet pair of Rock and Republic jeans, some new Zebra glasses, and a bunch of money to save for whatever I want from him. =) Probably going to go towards a Rebel XSI camera in the future, and a Chi! =) Then he whisked me off to Fashion Place mall for a little R&R and some stupendous food at the Cheesecake Factory. My favorite! I must say friends, it was a wonderful day. Thanks so much for making it so great Blake, I love you!

And to my family, I can't wait to celebrate my birthday with you on Thursday night! (After my gigantic final tomorrow, I should be ready to paaaaaaarty!) And I sort of like the idea of celebrating my big day twice. Teehee.

Adios amigos!

Amen!

Dangit.

FLASH. Photog.

Last night my broskie Mullet-hole got us all free tickets to the Flash Game, and we had a blast! The whole fam dam was there and all Jaxson kept saying was "Monster Jam." He thinks that any time you are in an arena of any sorts it means Monster trucks are about to come out, becuase thats the only time he ever sits down in an Arena! Spoiled little stink. It was nice to relax a little after my giant Lab Review that I had just before the game. The cold sore is doing nicely, it tingles when I say the word final but I think it's cooperating with me for the most part. Hope you all have a super Thursday, it's almost the weekend.... WOOOOOOOOO! Sayonara Folks. Jen and I looking oh so divine.Ricky, Jayne, and Prego

Stress.

Today is another day full of bliss. Can you taste the sarcasm? It's like that throw-up-in-your- mouth-taste right? Yesterday I woke up with....what else...a cold sore. And I know for a fact that this one was not due to weather change, it was due to a little 6-letter-word called S-T-R-E-S-S. I can think of lots of other 6 letter words, or four letter words, that could describe a cold sore more efficiently, however, I will refrain.. since this is a children-friendly blog. Well according to most people it is anyway. I mean, seriously, if you were a Hardy's fan back in the day and lived the woes of an obese child, you can relate to me. Right? It's not everyday that you come across someone who once had 4 chins and could pull off hiking boots and sweats on a daily basis. That my friends, is why you are drawn to me. You know that in any particular situation I may start walking like I have just pooped my pants just so we can both get attention. Or I may shout out things like "You have a mustache and/or sideburns" when people, particularly females, aren't being nice to my friends. I just can't help myself, I inherently have tourrettes. Which by definition means it's permanent, there is no changing my ways no matter how hard anyone tries. As I look towards my future I realize that my kids are going to have to put up with a Mom who likes to "bend and kicccccck" and yell things like "Where the hell is the Beano!" in the grocery store. As I reflect back on what I just wrote, I remember that this is not a therapy journal that I am writing in my secret happy place. This is a public blog. I better keep working.

Family Time!

I haven't posted in a few days, so I thought I better catch up! Blake and I have had a lot of time spent with family the last little while, and it's been great! Last weekend we had a baby shower for my cousin Vanessa and her new baby girl Chloe. It was great having everyone over, it's always a laugh when the whole Pugh/Rawlings clan gets together! We were sad to miss Chloe's baby blessing due to the bad weather....but we are going to make it up to her! Here are some pics of the gathering....
Blake and I also got the pleasure of going to Price this last weekend. It was great to relax and watch conference with his family. The weather still didn't want to cooperate much, but we did get to enjoy one of the sessions outside with the tv's blasting! It was nice to see some sun finally! Keeping up tradition, we got the whole Wilde Family (except our dear Bradey!) at the Bowling Alley in Price again. Brandon proved he's a clutch player and ended up getting two strikes at the very end and beating me 157 to 156! My record is ruined. =) Just kidding... but we had a great time hanging out with all the Wildes, and hope everyone else had a great weekend as well!

Isn't Beamer the prettiest little girl ever?! I agree.... We love BEAMER!
