Tis the Season!

The Beginning of the Christmas Season Post
This is one of my indoor cycling classes that I teach.
This is the gym that I love because of the people but
the facility is very small. Mind you, this picture was
taken a little after 5:00 a.m.
For the past 3 or 4 years I have done a contest in
this class to keep us (me) motivated through the holiday
season. I donate whatever I have chosen that year to
give to the winner. (Although everyone gets some
little prize at the end for participating!) This year my
whole theme, at the gym and with my family, was
centered around Sub for Santa. Anyway there were
4 points possible. I teach this particular class on Saturdays
at 6:00 a.m. and Tuesdays at 5:30 a.m. You have to get
there a half hour early to get a bike, only 11 bikes are
available. So you get a point for each day that you were
there, then each one of us made a personal goal, it could
be weight lifting 3 times a week or going to yoga or it
could have something to do with your eating habits,
(or ones that you are trying to break) One girl, not pictured,
wanted a way to get an extra point just in case the other 3
points were not do-able so I said they could have an
extra point if they did an act of service within that same
week. Anyway, the contest lasted only 6 weeks
this time. It was so fun! (I personally had the same jar
of peanut butter on my shelf the entire time!) That was
a goal of mine. Anyway the person with the most
points won $50, but the catch this year was, they had to
donate the money for a Sub for Santa! This class is so fun.
It was fun to listen to what everyone happen to do
for their service that week. It made me conscience
of what I could do to serve someone throughout the
week. Great way to start the holidays and hopefully
continue throughout the new year.
Mainly the people that come to this class are serious
road bikers. We work insanely hard! I wanted an
after class picture when we were all drenched
with sweat but no one would. This is why I keep
teaching, it pushes me!

Sarah at Halloween!

This picture was deleted from my last blog
and I wasn't starting over! The boys were
out trick or treating when I was there
visiting. She was a little Kitty Cat!

Getting caught up!

Well it's been some time since I have posted but
I wanted to get caught up before Christmas
is here! (That would be tomorrow!)
This was Halloween. Lindsey and her
friend Brynn dressed up to go to a huge
party. They wanted to go as old ladies.
With this costume, they were able to
act however they wanted. They
had the best time because no one
recognized them. You will see by the
following pictures! Little Ike
joining in!
They would dance together and then go
up and dance with the "all dressed up
pretty girls". It made the girls feel
really uncomfortable!
They stuffed toilet paper in their bras, at which
some points, Lindsey would take it out and wipe
the sweat from her nose and Brynns and then
stuffed it back in. Disgusting!
Look at their noses! That is why they would
sweat! Ashley was at this same party and
she said that it was very embarassing to
see them. She was trying to explain to her
friends that her sister really was cute.
Not only did they look like this, they acted
how they looked!
To continue on with the Halloween theme, at one
of the gyms I had to dress up like the 80's to
teach step. This was what I came up with.
Keat and Isaac had spent the night and
Isaac took my picture. Sorry about the messy
closet in the background!
Sometimes I get to have Sarah on the
weekends. We were all dressed ready
to go to church. She is so good when
she comes with me. She doesn't make
a peep! Look at her little tongue!
The stockings she has on, I got when she was
born. This was the first and last time she wore
them. She is dang cute!
This is my work party that Dr. Leaver
took us to Rickenbackers. We had a lot
of fun. Starting left to right, Reggie, her daughter
Shaylee, Stacy, Jeff, Tara, Ty, Cindie, Dr. Leaver
and Shara. Sorry about the red eyes but no
time to take them out! I love working with
all of them!
Sarah absolutely loves her books. Look at her little toes!

Another weekend with G'ma. This was
after church!
After headband hair!
Welcome to Lindsey's crazy ideas. Her and
Brynn decided to dye her hair. This was after
about 5 times! It took her about $190 to go
and have it fixed. It's dang cute now!
Last weekend Chelsea and Joey went and
picked up their early Christmas present to
the boys. They stopped at our house on the
way home. Sarah hadn't seen her yet because
she was asleep in the car so these were her
first reactions! (Notice Lindsey's cute hair now!)
This is Sarah Sue and Gracy Gru! (These
are Chelsea's nick names) The dog's name
is Gracy!
Giving kisses!
Little Gracy and look how beautiful Lindsey is!
Linds was just realizing that Gracy will be
full sized when she gets home in 5 months.
More about where Lindsey is heading on the
next blog!
Sweetest and most patient and loving Mom
ever!
Sorry for the quick random blog but I have much
more to post!
