Arkansas Isaacson’s

My parents decided they were going to spend the kids spring break in Arkansas so I thought what the heck I want to go too!  I hate missing out on family things so Ronnee and I booked our flight to Hillbilly country! Our flight left at 2pm and we landed in LA but didn’t change planes. Ronnee wanted to move to LA with the sweet girl that sat next to us. She nearly cried when she realized she had to stay with me on the plane. Then we flew to Phoenix where we had a 3 hour lay over so lucky for us I have an awesome brother and sis-in-law that came to the airport to have dinner with us and let the kids play together. Thank you again Ike and Steph!  Then we got on the plane at 730pm and flew to Little Rock and got there at 1150pm! My mom and Hannah picked us up after they got lost and then we drove the hour and half drive to the closest city to Rosebud that had a hotel to stay the night! We woke up early of course because we were so excited to see everyone and we went to Abe’s house and rode the horse and the pony and the calf!

Ronnee could have spent the whole time in with the little calf. She loved that he would suck on her fingers! She wasn’t a huge fan of riding the horse or the pony but she loved the country life! She refused to come into the house. That first day you would have thought she would be starving but she only took a short little nap because she was having so much fun.  The other kids had so much fun with her. I have the best nieces and nephews! They are the sweetest kids and I miss them so much.

Abe and Sally had their 4 baby that is what the real reason we wanted to get out there and see every one. Ashlyn Grace is such a sweet baby and we had so much fun seeing and holding her. She made me super baby hungry if I wasn’t already before that! If we weren’t outside playing then we were inside cuddling with the baby!

She needs a baby sibling!

While we were there we went and took some senior pics of Hannah at a beautiful river and water fall so the next day Aneron and Haley of course had to get all dressed up and have there pictures taken. They were so funny.  Here are some pics of the kids swimming in the river even though it was cold.

The next morning we went to some shops and took some pics of the little Taylor Swift look-a-likes!

And of course Grandma had to play her guitar!

Then at 6 pm we said our goodbyes and hit the road to AZ! And at 8 pm Ronnee started puking and didnt stop for 5 days! But we made the 17 hour drive safe and not very sound!

WE MISS YOU ARKANSAS ISAACSONS!

I am awesome…..

so I have started watching a friends 2 little boys on Monday and Tuesday’s all day and they are all 3 asleep!!! Hence why I have time to blog! They have been asleep for 1.5 hours so far so I was able to eat my lunch, do the 30 day shred workout, and shower and now I am watching BL and bragging about my success on my blog!

Yesterday was the day I started watching them so I knew that if I wanted to run I would have to wake up at 630 because they get to the house at 715. I am not a morning person but I was able to get up and run and then the boys came over and they played and played and I tried to keep up with the mess which is a workout all in itself. At one point I heard thuds on the wall and I ran into the room and they were throwing they pool balls at the wall!!! We are establishing the rules! lol But that is a whole other story…. After I fed them lunch I got all 3 of them down for a nap (woohoo) and I did my first day the 30 day shred!!!!! Felt awesome then when the kids woke up we went for a walk and played outside. So yesterday was a good start to my month of April working out!

And today I am able to keep up the same momentum, I am just waiting for the kids to wake up so that we can walk to the park and run their energy out!

I hope I can keep up this working out. I am going to try and run 1-2 miles every weekday and then on Saturdays take a long 3-4 mile run and Sundays I will get a break. And of course I will be adding the 30 day shred on top of my running. I took all my measurements and weighed myself yesterday so I cant wait to see how I do when I check myself at the end of the month!
