Lisa and I have been going to the recreation center and taking fitness classes. We decided to do a yearly membership, we were able to split the cost with just a small add-on fee for the second person. The first person said we couldn't because we lived in seperate households. It's always a good idea to ask a different person. Now we both are able to take as many classes as we want for a year. I've decided to try kickboxing, we'll see how that goes. I'm also trying a Bosu training class, never been on a bosu ball this should be real interesting.

Spring Break

Since I'm off this week I've been trying out different exercise classes at the recreation center. Monday I tried fab abs, Alex had to tag along no one to watch him I was gonna let him sit at back of room. The instructor said he could join 1/2 way through the class he decides to join. Today I went to a 90 min cardio with sculpting and toning. Lisa took a day off work so she could try the class with me. We got a good workout. We then went bike riding for about 6miles. We went out to eat, after we got home he laid on my chair and passed out. I do the classed in the evening but some are only offered during the day, so I'm taking advandage and trying the classes on my week off.

Saturday

Nothing much going on it's spring and it's getting colder. After the week of nice weather I was spoiled. Lisa and I went to our exercise class this morning, were going walking but was a little sore, so we went shopping first the were on our way to walk.
Our Governor wanted to make saturday a don't eat meat day. I couldn't resist Lisa and I went to Texas Roadhouse and had a nice big steak. (It was sooooo good). We came to mom & dad's house and painted my pedestal, (I'm doing Easter pictures at school Monday). Lisa and I never made it to the park to walk, I was cold all day. Brrrrrrrrr!

What a Day!

I had a jury summons and had to report today =( I was in the forth group that was called up, it was a long process at first. I thought they were happy with their selection after they got rid of a few. Then they started getting rid of a lot more and at 2:30 I was called up yuk! I had a sheet of paper with questions on it that I was suppossed to answer. The defendant and others were from the neighborhood close by. I made sure they knew that, I also told them I was held up with a gun to my head in a robbery. The defense didn't want me, and that was ok by me. ^_^

Weekend Happenings.

My kitchen ceiling leaks and John would never fix it. He really don't care now, he was here saturday, looked at it then just left. Can't afford to fix it right now so the next best thing is to put up a tarp. My nephew Micheal and his friend put it up for me. Instead of fixing the problem John's remedy was to put a bucket in the attic, it didn't work. My kitchen ceiling is not looking to good, it's about ready to fall.

Chelsea

She's in Florida again!

Their hotel is on the beach.

Happy Birthday / Anniversary

Everyone got together Saturday and celebrated dad's birthday and their anniversay.

We had a Mexican Fiesta.

We got this tray full of food in chicken and we got another one just like it but made with beef.
Dad doing his mexican dance.

Everyone waiting for food.

After all the food we had desert 2 cakes and a jello. Out of all the food there was very little left, I guess we over indulged ourselves.

Becky's Reception

Some pictures from the reception last night. Chelsea, Vanessa and Amber. Can't keep the girls out from in front of a camera.

Nothing much going on, just working and trying to keep warm. I'm also counting down the days until I get a week off. Two weeks to go, can't wait. Becky and Josh are having their reception this saturday February 6th, we have to get prepared for that such as making food, decorations and etc. I guess more stress on Lisa than the rest of us.

Becky & Josh

Rebecca Jacobs & Joshua Stoddard were united in marriage on January 14, 2010.

Dad just wouldn't cooperate, I couldn't get him to smile.
Lisa & Jerry

After the wedding alot of us went to Mongolian grill for lunch. Becky and Josh shared an ice cream sundae. The reception wont be until February 6th.

Lunch

Alex and I went to lunch with Lisa, Diane and Becky. We went to the mongolian grill, I've been once or twice but it was when Alex was a baby. This was his first time and he was intensely watching the cook, didn't get that expression cause Diane said something and moved.
This is our food cooking. Becky sure can pack an awful lot of food into such a small bowl, she ended up with the most food, she ended up with 2 little cartons of food to take home one for her and one for Josh. I think I need to take a lesson from her.

A Trip to Cabela's

Lisa, Alex and I went to Cabela's yesterday. We spent a couple hours and I ended up with a good pair of boots, not high fashion boots just warm durable long lasting boots. I wasn't able to find any boots made the way I would like them to fit in any of the stores. Of course I had to take pictures, but by the time we were ending our trip Alex had my camera and he was taking pictures.

This is one of the pictures Alex took.

Mom's Christmas gift.

This is what the kids got mom for Christmas. They've never gotten together and had their pictures taken. Below is mom's reaction to the picture as she was opening it.

I wonder if she likes it?

School Picture

Here's my baby, this is his 5th grade school picture.

Thanksgiving Day

Here's some pictures from Thanksgiving Day. Usually Lisa would put up mom's Christmas tree after dinner and desert. Not this year dad told her no that she wasn't putting it up this early. We've done that way for many years don't know why after all this time he said no except that he's being a scrooge. Notice there's no pictures of him, that's because he would put his hand in front of his face then he yells. Oh well I guess that's what happens when you get old you get grouchy.

Chelsea and Alex,

Everyone's getting food.

Saturday Walk

Nothing much has been happening except working. Lisa and I did go to John's house Saturday and we finally made it to the other park to try it out for a walk. This park has 3 trails 1 is a nature trail only walkers can use, it's only a 1 mile trail. The next one is a 3 mile walk, and the last one is a 4 mile walk. We couldn't make up our minds at first, we decided to do the 3 mile walk. It wasn't bad it was flat and paved so that was good for us. Along the way we ran into this water pump. I had to see if it worked, it did so it was a picture moment.

Here's the pump.

Here's me checking to see if it works.

Couldn't forget Lisa.

An Interesting Sunday

I tried cooking dinner yesterday evening and it just wasn't working out. First I peeled potatoes and put them on to cook, ended up cooking them dry and burnt. Then I put on some noodles, got to doing something and almost burnt them, They cooked a little to dry. I started a fire in the wood burner yesterday to get the chill off the house. To end the day at about 1 a.m. I seen the fire trucks, I thought the house next door was on fire. I jumped out of bed to go look and make I didn't have to get us out of the house. As I was making my way, the firemen were banging on my front door. Someone called because the smoke was filling the neighborhood, they just made sure it was a wood burning stove and that there was no smoke in the house, then off they went.

Halloween Party

Alex dancing with his Teacher.

They did a soul train line, I couldn't believe he's up and dancing. I was truly shocked.

This is the little chocolate mouse I made for the party.
