A day at the farm

On Saturday I took Hailey to the farm and she was able to "ride" Sally. Kate (my sister) came along and helped out . Hailey had a good time playing with all the animals and enjoyed sitting on the saddle while I led Sally around. Then Kate was able to ride Sally for a little bit and then we had to leave because Hailey was super crabby and in desperate need of a nap! But I got some super cute pictures!

Fitness

So I have caved and am going tonight to join LA Fitness. I had originally wanted to join Lifetime in Coon Rapids because my friend is a personal trainer there, but realistically, if I joined there, I wouldn't go often enough to get the Medica reimbursement because it is like 20 minutes away. So I'm joining the LA Fitness in Roseville. I want to join mostly for the pool so I can swim laps. I went online last night and found a swimming workout regiment and will be doing that. I also found online a neat mp3 player to wear while I'm swimming, so it doesn't get so boring. It is called Nu Technology DOLPHIN 1GB Waterproof MP3 Player. I'm pretty excited to try it out. I read reviews online, so I don't have exceptionally high expectations, but some music, regardless of the quality, is better than no music.
I think seeing all the olympic swimmers has motivated me to swim again. I loved being on the swim team in high school and was in the best shape of my life because it is really a full body workout - plus you don't sweat (well, at least you don't get sweaty)! So I'm going to go and try to lose my extra baby weight (yeah, I'm a procrastinator, it's been 2 years). Wish me luck!

This is amazing

This is my new favorite song...what can I say, I'm a sucker for acoustic guitar and amazing vocals.

Gymnastics

So Hailey got gymnastics lessons from Grandma for Christmas (early present) so we went to Target today and got her 2 leotards that were on clearance. Here are a few pictures of her in one of them; super cute if I do say so myself!

He's here to stay

Well, it's official, I went over and signed paperwork and wrote a check. Hunter is ours now for real. We've decided to keep him, so he'll be here to stay.

Dog

So, today we got a dog...on a trial basis anyways, if he doesn't work out, we can return him after a week. He is a Lab/Great Dane mix and is 12 months old. He is 97 pounds. We named him Hunter. I will post pictures later once I find my camera, but he is really cute. He is also a really sweet guy.

tonsils

I have tonsillitis. NO FUN.
