MEYERS!!!!!

We had so much fun with our friends the Meyers family. Brett's mission companion and family came up from Alabama for a baby blessing and stayed with us for a week. The girls loved having the boys here. Lucas, Carter and Jaxon. We went to the Baltimore aquarium, a pumpkin patch lunch at Red Robin where i dumped a drink all over me and Jacob. Amanda has a good group picture of us all on her blog. It was so fun getting to know them all over again. I have to say i miss my wife :) We hope we get to see you guys again soon.

Jillian's "DO"

All the girls and I ( jake too) went to the salon for a haircut. Jolie and Genevieve have already had there hair cut many times, but jillian has only had like 2 trims. So this was a big deal for the big cut. I LOVE IT! Her hair looks so much nicer and fuller, but she doesn't look like a baby anymore. The girls were quite the hit in the salon, talking the whole time. At one time while I was getting my hair washed, i heard Genna say i think she's 29. Then Jolie yells yes she's 29, MOM, you're 29 right. Yes jolie' i'm 29. The stylists just couldn't get over i had 4 kids, they made my day when they came up to me and said they thought i was only 22. Man do they know how to bring back a client or what!

ok, not sure how the picture of me got up in the corner, but that's my new do. which i really like, just ignore the no make up.

To Doo or not to Doo!!!!

I have been teaching Pilates at a small club next to my house for a few months. I was hesitant to do it at first just because of the commitment and a husband that works far away....made me nervous you know. But with a persistant owner I decided to give it a go. Once a week for one hour shouldn't be that big a deal right. WRONG! It seems like it's been way more stressful than actually relaxing. They've changed the schedule a few times, plus lots of miscomunication and i've looked like the loser teacher that doesn't show up even though i did tell him i would be out of town. ANYWAYS, we're about to start up again and i'm just not sure if i really want to continue doing it. I really love teaching and it's a great excuse to get out and be healthy. but i have 4 kids and that pretty much tells you right there that life is pretty unpredictable. I don't want to lose the skill either. ahhhh....i just don't know what to do. Tell me what you guys think?

Great Grandma Fox

Jacob was fighting sleep, he fell asleep in my arms 2 minutes later.

Do we have movie stars in the family?
They LOVE their Great Grandma so much.
We were so glad to spend time this weekend with Great Grandma Fox. She lives in Utah so it's a wonderful treat when she comes out for a visit. I know she's still here for a little bit but i just had to put up some pictures. The girls talked her ear off, and jacob probably made her arm fall off, but she would never let you know it. We love you and wish you lived closer!

Does this baby make me look fat?

Brett and I started the South Beach diet on sunday. Well Brett is doing it just to help me, but i don't think he'll last past this week. It's funny because i was dreading it for a week or so leading up to the first day. And now that it's here it's not too bad. I know i'm just finishing day 2 but so far so good right. I was HOPING from all my great friends to have wonderful comments of support and encouragment, NOT, you don't need to diet, why are you doing this...I want to feel and look healthier that is all. Hopefully i'll be able to post an after picture soon....you know in a few months. Wish me luck! Brett too!

Jillian's 1st day of school.
