Date Night!

Scott and I went to see Hairspray last night. I am pretty sure I was smiling the entire time. What can I say...I am musical theather FREAK!

Healthy Living Challenge - MOOLAH!!!

After some consideration and Scott telling me that $25 is too much, I have decided the the joining fee for the challenge will be $10. If you want to join and not pay then I am totally fine with that - you just won't get the money at the end. Also, let anyone else who might want to joing know. Anyone and everyone is welcome. Happy Living!!!!

Healthy Living Challenge

Come One, Come All!!! I have decided it is time to drop the last few "Gracie pounds." You are invited to join me in a healthy living challenge. The challenge is based on healthy habits, not weight loss. By following the healthy habits rules you get points each day. At the end of the challenge period whoever has the most points wins. Here are the rules and the point value for each.

1. Get 7 hours of sleep a night - 1 point a day=7 points a week
2. No sweets except for one day a week, you can pig out all day if you want - 1 pt. a day=6 pts. a week
3. Exercise six days a week for 30 minutes - 1 pt. a day=6 pts. a week
4. BONUS: Exercise an additional 30 minutes each day, five days a week - 1 pt. a day=5 pts. a week
5. No soda pop - 1 pt. a day=7 pts. week
6. Eight glasses of water a day - 1 pt. a day=7 pts. a week
7. Eat three serving of veggies a day and two serving of fruit a day - 1 pt. a day=7 pts. a week
8. Don’t eat for three hours before bed - 1 pt. a day=7 pts. a week

The callenge will start August 1st and end November 1st. If is successful then I will start it up again January 1st. I am thinking I may have anyone who wants to join put in $25 - then the winner gets all the money at the end. I think this will add an extra incentive.

If you want to join up, then let me know by July 31st and I can send you some more information.

Even if we don't get super skinny, at least we will be living a healthful life. It should be LOTS OF FUN!!!

Gone Hummin'

Scott was out of town with Gracie on Saturday, so the two big kids and I decided to go to Garage Sales. We were at one and Adam would not put down this toy Hummer. I figured for 50 cents I could afford to make the boy happy for at least a few hours. Oh man, was I wrong - not only was he happy for a few hours, but several days. He loves that toy so much he is now sleeping with it.

4th of July Fever

Well, well, well... wonders never cease - we finally had a sunny fourth of July. It was a beautiful day. Adam was in heaven with all the fireworks. I think I may have a little pyro on my hands (make that two with Scott). We went to the park during the day - Good times!

Retraction

Well, I was kind of hasty in my accusation that Scott lost the camera cord. He didn't - I did. Oops. So I guess it is good he thinks I'm dreamy (ha ha).

For sale!!!

We finally got the house ready for sale! We had our garage sale Saturday and the signs are put out. We will see what happens now.

Oh, the Fun we have

Lily decided her wings would make lovely headwear. I have to agree - she does look very stunnung.
I finally caught Adam smiling nicely (rather than whining or pulling some face).
And, Grace, of course, is just being cute.

Amazing Grace

The other day Gracie was knawing on my finger and low and behold I felt a tooth! She isn't even five month old yet. She has been a truly amazing baby - smiling, rolling, and now teething MUCH earlier than my other babies. Niether of the other two got teeth until they were about eight months old. Wowzer!

Rain, Rain Go Away!!!

Holy Canoli! Today is June 24th and it has been raining ALL DAY!!! Man this place stinks. We actually thought about starting a fire. How pathetic. So we are in the frantic race to get our house up for sale - if you know anyone who wants a house in the Seattle/Tacoma area then we have the house for them - ours is pretty swanky. I thought I would post another picture. It isn't as current as I would like since Scott lost the cord to our camera - you know, the one that downloads the pictures onto the computer. It is a good thing he is dreamy....

SMILE

This is my lame attempt at a photo shoot with the kids. Yeah, I'm not a photographer. But you must admit they are pretty FAB!

And so it begins.

Well, I folded under the pressure and decided to go global. We are now bloggers (is that a word?). Because I rarely read other people's blogs - too much reading - I have decided to keep this short. So here is our story in a very small nut shell. I'm Emily, a.k.a. Queen of the universe (my universe). I'm married to Scott, who is totally dreamy. We have three kids - Lily, the Princess of Sass; Adam, a.k.a. Tubby Goo; and Gracie, little miss Shoebox (she is shaped like she came out of one). They are pretty rad. Okalee Dokalee, I'm off - until next time. Adios.

Oh, and P.S. - I don't speak Spanish!
