I'm So Brave

So I'm really not that brave, maybe just stupid! I'm heading up to Island Park tomorrow with the kids. Trent's family will be going as well, but Trent himself will be in Phoenix for the week! This is the second trip up there this summer while Trent is out of town on business so I get to drive for 4 hours alone in the car with all 3 kids! It really isn't as bad as it sounds on the way there, it's the way back that kind of sucks. If I survive without wanting to strangle anyone I will take some pics and post them when we get back either Sunday or Monday. I'm actually just looking forward to one last mini vaca before school starts so it should be a good time, but I guess we'll see!! Wish me luck! :)

Baby! Baby! Baby!

Well congratulations to Scot and Tracie! (my sister and her husband in case you don't know them) They welcomed their 1st little one into this world on Wednesday night at 8:17 pm. Little Ryann Ellie Jensen was born on July 16, 2008 and she weighs 7 lbs 2 oz, she's 21 inches long and she has a whole tiny little head full of black hair! I will post some pics of her when I get my camera back but for now you'll have to take my word for it, she is sooooooo adorable! Tracie and Ryann are both doing great also, so again, congrats Scot and Tracie, she's a Keeper!! :)

Trent Sucks!!!!!

So ya, the title pretty much sums it up folks, but I'll fill y'all in on the whole thing so that you ladies (some of you anyways) will agree with me! So me and Trent decided to start getting more 'healthy' and along with droppin some serious pounds, we also want to just improve our overall health and lifestyles. So there's the basis of the situation we're currently in. Well we decide to do this 2 day total juice fasting 'cleanse' thing that gets rid of all the toxins and impurities that build up in your body. We started this lovely idea on Sunday so we could be home with each other since I have the self control of a crack whore when it comes to food. We go through this whole first day miserable from not eating, but still having to cook to feed the kids and I'm thinking well at least we should lose some weight on this crap as an upside to starving for 2 days, right??? So Trent goes in to the bathroom to weigh himself after the 1st, yes 1st day and had already lost 4 lbs. Well I'm thinkin, "AWESOME" I should have lost that too since we did the EXACT same thing!! WRONG! I lost .5 lbs. yeah, that's a decimal in FRONT of the 5! I killed myself for a half a damn pound! So that whole day Trent's on cloud nine and I'm stuck on mount fat ass for the rest of my day! I still did my juice crap, but it was sooooo much harder after that weigh in. All in all Trent lost like 10 lbs over the course of a weekend and I lost 1 lb. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure I went down a cup size in bras, while Trent can now pull his pants on and off without unbuttoning them!!! Ya know, I had 3 kids. I didn't complain about being pregnant. I didn't complain about nursing, or losing my mind being home with 3 kids and no adult conversation. I even didn't complain about my 3 c-sections. I recovered very, very quickly and never complained about pain or the ugly scars! But how cruel is it that after going through all that women have to go through for their kids, men lose weight like it's an extra layer of clothing that they just decided to take off so it's gone, yet we have to kill ourselves like we're training for Ultimate Fighting or something!? And that is why TRENT SUCKS!!

Happy Birthday Jason!

Well I just thought I'd give a little shout out to one of my favorite people in the world, Jason! Happy Birthday, we love you so much! I don't know how often (if ever) you read my blog, but I just wanted to let everyone know what a great brother (and in-law) he is! He is always there for everyone whenever we need him, and no matter what the situation he can always put a smile on your face just by being there for you. We're so lucky and blessed to have him in our family and I don't know how we'd have gotten through some of the crap this year without him. So Happy birthday Jason, I hope you had a great day, you deserve it!!
Love, Becky :)
