Just some words...

I have been horrible at keeping up with taking and sorting pictures lately.  Life has been hectic...not in a bad way, just busy...just life!
Greg's grandmother, who had fallen and broken her hip a few months ago, passed away on June 30th.  She was 91 years old.  She was such a wonderful lady and is already missed terribly.  We all know that she is in a beautiful and amazing place now without pain and with those she has missed so badly while here on this earth.  Paisleigh is still asking why she died and if we will see here again.  It is really hard explaining all of that to an almost four year old.  She understands that she is with Jesus in Heaven, but I really don't think she understands that we will not see her again until we are with her in Heaven.  The mind of a four year old is so pure, so innocent, so...real.  She takes in every word and comprehends what we tell her, and we can see her processing and thinking about our conversation so intensly.  It has been two weeks and she will still randomly as me a question about Mammaw and ask what happened and why our bodies get old and tired.  Amazing really. 

Greg and I had an opportunity to take some (much needed) time for ourselves! We went to Las Vegas this past weekend and had such a great time!  Again, I was horrible and did not take a single picture...except that of our view of the pool from our hotel room! Ha!  I really don't think that is worthy of posting on here!  We acted like silly young adults and then our age caught up to us and we had to behave. LOL.  Our last night there we enjoyed an AMAZING dinner at the Pallazo hotel at a restaurant called LAVO.  We had steak and drinks and dessert and it was D-LISH.  Greg told the waiter it was the best meal he had ever had! :) haha!  After dinner we went to see Beatles Love-Cirque De Soleil...and it was FABULOUS.  We were amazed at the acrobatics and the entire show.  A perfect way to end our vacation!

We are having Paisleigh's 4th birthday party on Saturday.  She loves 'Tangled', so we are having a Tangled themed party and it will be at a park that has a casltle like playground; we also have a young lady coming who dresses like a clown and she will do face painting, balloon animals and a magic show for the kiddos!  I am excited, I really think she will love it!  I will DEFINITELY be taking pictures of that! :)
Her birthday is actually on Monday and I cannot believe my baby is about to be 4!  Greg and I saw the commercial the other night where the dad is talking to the little girl in the car about driving safely and buckling up...and then, in the next shot, that little girl is 16/17 and driving away!  I think even Greg had tears in his eyes! HA!  The girls are growing up so quickly and before we know it...they will be driving off too. 

I have started a new diet and lifestyle.  I am really trying to focus more on being positive in every situation...even though it is kind of hard sometimes...I am giving it my all.  I have been working out and lifting weights for a good 5 months now and even though I feel stronger...and I am not seeing the results I want.  I finally figured out, it is because of my diet!  I was trying not to eat very much at all and my body was holding onto everything...including the fat! ick! LOL.  So, I have started the Eat-Clean Diet and I love it.  It is all fresh foods, and you actually get to eat!  I am not hungry, my head does not feel woozy and I have energy for my workouts! YAY! So, here is to progress and getting my pre-baby-baby (haha) body back dang it!!
Speaking of workouts, I have started a hip-hop zumba class and a piloxing (which is pilates and boxing combined) class!  If you have not ever tried either of these, I highly suggest you do so!  They are so much fun and will work your hiney off! :) I am also about to start running again, like I did last year, to train for the Susan G. Kome 5K to run in honor of my Mom beating and surviving breast cancer!! I am really excited about doing that again!  It was such an awesome experience to do that with her fighting spirit in my heart!  

So here is to a positive attitude and lifestyle!
Have a wonderful weekend!
