REDO: Creation of the day....

I was playing around with Photoshop and made these silhouettes of Shane and Makenna:

Ok I redid Makenna's silhouette...hopefully it looks a little better!

Whats going on...

I haven't blogged much lately. Its been pretty frustrating trying to take pics or videos because of the broken flash. Plus we haven't been up to much, Mike has been working long hours. Last weekend we did go to Tallahassee, to get my bridesmaid dress. We went and visited Tony and his girlfriend Maryann and went to the Science Museum there. But... no pics unfortunately.

It is starting to get pretty hot here in Valdosta... The mosquitos are here, and some of them are huge! Not like the ones in Hawaii! Also when I go outside, I am constantly waving away these things called lovebugs. And I heard it gets a lot worse. I've been taking the kids to the park a lot, before it gets too hot and unbearable.

This Saturday, my friend Bridget is gonna watch the kids while Mike and I go out. Its been a LOONG time since we've been out just the two of us so it will be nice. I am also hoping we get to go the the waterpark here on Sunday and hopefully we can get some good pictures out of that.

Not much else going on. I've been pretty addicted to this seasons American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. Every year I tell myself I'm never watching it again, but I get sucked in. Makenna sings to American Idol a lot and its pretty cute... and when the dancing show comes on, she'll yell "dancing!!!" and sometimes will shake her hips if we tell her to hula.

Both Makenna and Shane have been really into drawing this past 2 weeks. They are always at their easel drawing, and Makenna is getting pretty good! She likes to draw funny faces, bicycles, and snowmen. She can also write the letter "H", "O", "V" and sometimes "W". Shane can draw circles and scribbles. But, he has a really bad habit of wanting to draw on more than the easel...

The Dancer and the Artist

Shane dancing.. It was SOOO cute!
It reminded me of when Kainoa first started dancing:


Makenna the artist. She told me she was drawing bicycles!

And here she drew a "happy" face:

Seaworld Pics...

Unfortunately, our camera didn't take good pics. We are still having problems with it. It either overexposes pictures or doesn't flash at all.

It was really awesome seeing Ruby and her family this weekend. Sophia was so sweet and pretty and Makenna loved her. They looked like sisters walking around together.

Makenna loved the Penguin encounter the best. She kept asking to go back to it over and over. I am not sure if it was to actually see the penguins, or because it was nice and cool in there! Shane seemed to really like the stingrays. I loved the Dolphins the best! Ruby and I waited in line for one of the roller coasters for half and hour and as soon as we got on they made us get off. It started to pour. The weather wasn't the greatest for us unfortunately.

Off to Orlando!

We are going to SeaWorld! I'm excited.... except, today, I was taking a few pics of the kids, and the camera started making some weird noises! Ugh, I hope it won't break down right before our trip. So we are gonna go see Ruby, who I haven't seen in over 2 years. She's moving back to Kauai in June... soo lucky!

So, Ill update when we get back from Orlando, Hopefully with Pictures!

Workout regime

my workout plan....

I am pretty proud of myself because i have been sticking to this workout plan that Mike made for me for a couple weeks now, and i really notice a difference. What I love about it is that its a quick workout, so I actually have time to do it. What I don’t love about it is that Mike wants me to workout everyday. Ugh! my plan is a 3 day circuit training rotation of exercises that workout each part of my body:
Day 1: Calf raises, Biceps, Squats
Day 2: Abs, Triceps extensions, Stiff leg deadlifts
Day 3: Lunges, Shoulder raises, Bench press
Day 4: Start over with Day 1

Each strength training workout lasts maybe 10 minutes tops because there is no rest between sets or circuits, then I go on the treadmill for 10- 15 minutes. Its really challenging.
The hardest part for me is trying to eat as healthy as mike wants me to. I love my cookies and chocolate candy and white rice and spam and bacon and desserts and the list goes on. I try to eat lots of protein and veggies and stuff. I do take a lot of vitamins (in fact we spend a LOT of money on supplements), a multivitamin, calcium, supergreens, probiotic, fish oils.
So... Is it worth it?????? I don’t know....
