A fun day

So my son decided he wanted to make his own salsa the other day and I took him to the store to buy some fresh goodies to put in it...

  

He wrote down some things on paper that he wanted to put in it. This is his list..

So we layed everything out on the counter washed what needed washed and got it all ready to add in the mixer.

This looks so yummee..

I love fresh veggies...

It is not even mixed up yet and my boy is holding the chip
bag in his hand...he is ready...

it's READY

And it is Nathan approved...

What a great time we had.  Oh and did I mention that I worried about him cutting his finger and I am the one with the band aid...

This was a great day to share...

Father's Day

Memories never fade and hopefully will never be lost.  What we hold in our hearts is there to stay.  Good or bad thoughts are there and brought up and thought about throughout your lifetime.  Some make you laugh and others will bring tears. 

I lost my dad October of 2006.  He was only  54 years old. 

My memories of him are pretty simple.  He worked all the time, Smoked like crazy...Loved his flip flops and  Loved to gamble..He also didn't care what he said to people.  He laughed alot and just went with the flow. 

I cannot believe it has been this many years already.  I bet even with the ciggerette prices rising he would still be smoking...And walking around with his oxygen tank...  :(

Have you ever looked at people's hands???  I do all the time and for some reason it seems like hands can tell a story.  My dads hands were rough and callased...firm and hard...Strong and Bold....But do you know when my son was born those rough hands looked soft and delicate when he was with Nathan...And it seems they could dance the day away. 

On fathers day and his birthday I would make something for him...A few times I got balloons and put them in his truck with a card I drew up....They would be sitting there when he left for work.  The first 2 years I would buy a balloon and let it go up in the air.  I stopped doing that.  He would tell me to quit wasting my money..ha!! 

Now I want to share a poem I wrote for him when I was 15 years old...It was a Father's Day present from me that many years ago.......

I wish my daddy a Happy Father's Day

Adventure Down Paths

I have went down many paths in my lifetime, and I must admit some I look back on and think what the hell did I do that for.  But that is what made me...ME !!!

I am 35 years of age a wife and mother.  

Being a mom is the best thing in the world. 

I LOVE IT and it is the best time of my life right now and what I have left in my years I need to make count...RIGHT?? 

I need to take care of myself and not let MY life get away from me. Or my health I must add.... Life is short... 

Time to get healthy and have energy...MOM TIME

So I found my mom time hitting the gym for classes in Febuary 2009...

Cardio Boxing, Riding Bikes, Weight class..etc..I mean really I deserve an hour of me time....Oh and did I mention the energy and the great feeling I had about myself so then I decided I wanted to do a 5k...so I met a girl at the gym who wanted to run one and we signed up together......and we ran our first 5k October 2009..

When I finished that first race I was about in tears...

I felt so amazed at how far I made myself go and I accomplished a goal I set out to do...And I wanted to go further..

So I did my second 5k in December of 09 and beat my time by 6 min.  YAY!!!  I rocked...Oh did I mention it was cold out...lol...you can see my breath in the one picture...

I am now starting another new journey or path in life I guess you can say.

I go July 10th to start my certification process to teach spinning classes. 

This is a great workout...45 minutes and you can burn up to 800 calories...more or less depending on how hard you push yourself..

So this along with doing some hats and accessories to sell on etsy I think I have found a great path to follow.  At least when I sit to do my crafts I won't feel the Butt..er spread..lol... 

So that is my adventure right now...I will keep you posted and fill you in when I teach my very first class in about 3 1/2 weeks...

Untill then Stay excited about Life and don't stick with one path....
