Childrens Museum

We went to the Childrens Museum yesterday with Shane and Jill, and Rian and Katie. It was pretty fun! It was super crowded, but we survived. They were having a Sesame Street Exhibit that was pretty cute. They talked about bodies and how they work. There was a whole wall dedicated to how food travels in AND out of you body. That seemed to be the favorite part of the day...Poo. You'd push the button and it'd fart and you'd hear a flush then you'd see a log roll down through the tube. They thought that was pretty funny! Here are some pics!

Go Daddy!

Hey babe, this one's for you! I used the Title 'Go Daddy' for 2 reasons! I'm proud of my 'Big Daddy' for getting his dream started! Mike's always had a dream of starting an online biz, and he's had some GREAT ideas of what to do with it. Well no more is he just contemplating what he wants to do...he's started!

He officially has his own website that's going to get out there in the big World Wide Web! Here is the link for you to check out!

Good job hot stuff! I'm so proud of you! Thanks for helping make my world go around a lot smoother! Love you! xoxo

In Training!

Ok eveyone...I'm officially training for a Marathon! Here's my 25 week plan so you can feel free to train along with me! :-D http://www.saltlakerunningco.com/assets/25week2008web.htm

Here is the link to the Marathon I'm going to run! http://www.saltlakerunningco.com/event536.htm

I'm super excited! I've always wanted to run a Marathon just to say that I have. I'm not a huge fan of running in general, but what an accomplishment it will be to say I did it!

Last night at I had dinner at the Petersons house and my family was telling me all these negative things about training for a marathon. I went away feeling like they didn't think I could do it. But today I stopped by and said "Hi" to Rick and Carol and Carol told me about her experience running a Marathon when she was 30. She said it was actually pretty easily do-able.

Carol said that as long as you have a program to stick to, it makes it a ton easier and a buddy to do it with helps out big time too! Wade is the only brave soul so far to agree to doing one with me! I'm hoping to bring on a couple more people so we can alternate workout days with each other.

Carol also said that she did it right after she had Kaite, and so I'm in better shape than she was and I'm younger. She says that I can totally do it! So I came home feeling pumped and ready to get my training on!

The training program I'm following is a 25 week program. I actually have 30 weeks. So I'm taking the first 4-5 weeks to get into training mode. Like I said...I'm not a runner so I gotta start with baby steps. I ran for 15 min yesterday. I was on the treadmill for a total of 30 so I had a nice long warm up and a nice soothing cool down period. Today was my Cross Training day! So I did 30 min on the Ellyptical alternating between high and low intensity and I did upper body strength training and core!

This is going to give me something to shoot for other than to just lose weight for our Biggest Looser Comepetition with my family!

Wish me Luck....or better yet, join me!

Human Rights!

After re-reading that last post...I wanted to mention how proud I am of "We the People"! As far as the candidates go...I am very, very proud at how far we've come as a country. Human Rights have come a long long way! Where the two candidates are 1-Female and 2-Black! Who would have thought this could have happened even 10 years ago?

Go "We the People"!

Peace!

Ranting, and Raving, Politics!

K, this one's for you Brookie! I honestly don't read much on what's going on politically in the world. My knowlege of politics is directly from ranting and raving e-mails sent to me by authors like Robin Williams and Jay Leno and such...all of which are pretty fabricated I'm sure. Still...given my little actual knowlege I do have some opinions!

I'm SCARED TO DEATH to see where the world is going with the lears we have to choose from. I believe that not one of the runners for office have the right frame of mind. I believe that they want to be Pres. for all the wrong reasons. I hate campaings. No one ever tells the truth. Didn't you learn this from Jr. High and High School elections when the would be Presidents swore they would get us longer lunches, better vending machines, and music in between classes? Seriously...they're just pumping themselves up.

I also believe that if they had the right frame of mind they would want to come together and solve the issues as best as they can. Haven't they ever heard the phrase "Two heads are better than one?" With that being said...Why don't all the canidates get together and talk about the things they like/dislike abour the country and what they think could be done to better it and then do it and not fight to live in the big White House with all it's perks.

Hilary Clinton. I don't even know what to say about her so I won't. Honestly...nothing comes to mind. Orak Obama (sp?) lets just think for a min what his religion tells him to do...Honest and true to AFRICA. Not the US of A. Some would argue that I can't discriminate based on his religion or his beliefs or that the above statement is more on his heritage than his politital views. What I say is...what if we were to come upon something in the future and he has to choose? USA or Africa that his religion and his heritage are true to. Will he defend us against them or will he choose his heritage/religion? What would you do? Laws of the Land or Laws of the Lord? Makes it a lil scarey don't ya think?

Like I said at the beginning though...I really don't know much. These are my opinions of what I have read, and I'm not even admiting that they are truth. But what is truth in Politics? So there ya go! I hope you enjoyed my ignorant rants and raves! :-)

PEACE!
