the FINAL

[Friday 23 April 2010]
I've been taking classes at Salt Lake Community College this semester. I'm getting my associate's degree to become a Fitness Technician. What does a Fitness Technician do you ask? Mostly teach group exercise classes. You know, those classes that everyone makes themselves go to, while whining about it? Well, I LOVE them & I LOVE everything about being and staying healthy & active & physically fit. So what better degree? The bonus: I get to take fun classes like Latin Social Dance, & Aerobics/Intervals. Unfortunately, I still have to get all the 'generals' too, just like everybody else - Marketing/Professionalism in Business being one of these 'generals'.. Which.. I.. LOATHE! I actually really enjoy the class itself. It's the teacher that isn't so great. Anyway... 

the FINAL - 

For the Final Exam in my Latin Social Dance class I was required to go to a Latin social dance (the name's fitting right?).One of the things I was to be graded on at this 'FINAL':

Dress: My instructor said we should dress 'nice'. What does that mean?! Well, seeing as how I'm a girl that does NOT like to wear a dress, I decided this was going to have to be 'nice' enough....

Yes, that is me, in HEELS! WHAT!? I never ever wear heels! Latin dancing looks kind of silly in flats, (especially if I'm the one wearing the flats) so I busted out these beauties. I've only worn them one other time in the year & a half since I purchased them ;) I better get extra credit  for these sore feet of mine. 3 hours of Latin (mostly Bachata & Salsa) in heels = sore, blistered footsies. It sure was worth it though. I had a blast. All final exams should follow suit.

Bedtime for Bonzo

[Saturday 24 April 2010]

After a long day of playing at the park, including a fun picnic (Kennedy's favorite way to enjoy food- Mommy's quite fond of it lately as well), this is what our bedtime routine consisted of..

Bath time. 

Kennedy wants to do EVERYTHING with Amelie, & I LOVE it! I am so excited to have 2 little girls that are inseparable! (through the tears & tantrums & all) They are so cute & have so much fun together. Each day is a new adventure with these 2 sweethearts. I'm so blessed to have been sent such sweet little girls (don't get me wrong, they're STILL girls, & STILL know how to put up a good fight ;)

Kennedy is the BEST big helper I could ever ask for. She helps me wash & hold Amelie in the bath, and enjoys showing Amelie how all of the bath toys work - 'here Amelie, you can suck on this ball' 

Kennedy really is the BEST big sister. She loves reading Amelie stories & letting Amelie experience laying in her 'Big Girl Bed'. Kennedy makes sure that Amelie is always very comfortable & having a good time. Amelie's favorite person? You guessed it! KENNEDY! Melts my heart!

FYI: 'Bedtime for Bonzo' is something my mom has always said, & I've sort of picked up as well. This is Bedtime for Bonzo ENJOY!

Fat Lip

A bit of an owie- but isn't she so cute?

Kennedy's lip decided to 'kiss' the sidewalk just a little too hard ;)

If  you look really close, you can see her wittle fat lip. No other scrapes or cuts - Just a bloody lip (from trotting a little too fast on the sidewalk)

When I took this picture, she said 'I can't smile because my lip won't move' - precious.

She sucked on a cold, wet washcloth for about 20 minutes, followed by a request for a popsicle, which was granted = all better :-)
