Adams Family Circus!

I decided to show you all what goes on in my house... these are my AMAZING boys doing their AMAZING tricks!
Damon is truly one of a kind... love the cart wheel and round-off! GO DAMON GO!!


He has been practicing walking on his hands for a while! Pretty impressive eh?

No one is surprised my 2 year old can do somersaults... he thinks he is just as big as his brothers. Seriously, he follows them around and does EVERYTHING they do! I also got him to say something.... which was the goal with the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious thing!

And of course... Colton's amazing trick is his conversational skills... although he does seem to be attempting a back flip don't ya think?!?!?

Sparkle Toes, Taekwondo and Colton speaks!

So... this Saturday I splurged and got myself some sparkle toes... it's sort of a new thing in Utah. Basically they put gel on your toes, then pour glitter on them and then bake them under the U.V. light then repeat the process. It's supposed to last like 2 months... we shall see! Here's a fun pic!


So Damon tested for his BLUE BELT on Saturday... I can't believe he is half way to his black belt. He really enjoys Taekwondo and works his but off. He's pretty dang good at it! Here is a video of his test... this is his one of the forms he was tested on. I had to record it in the mirror in order to see him without recording a million kids sitting on the floor.


Here's a pic of him getting his blue belt!



Okay so Colton is getting into the mode where he talks and shares amazing stories with you. I have been trying to catch this phenomenon on tape and was recording him talking during taekwondo so ignore the Korean counting in the back ground. It was the first opportunity I've had so I jumped on it!

Getting Fit!

I am excited to be participating in a fitness study at a local gym. It's a 21 day study where I get to meet with a PERSONAL TRAINER 3 times a week. (AND ALL OF THIS IS TOTALLY FREE WITH NO OBLIGATION TO SIGN UP!!!) Today was my first day which consisted of being weighed, calculating my BMI, taking my BP and resting heart rate and letting me know what the program entails. Basically I will be doing 30 minutes of resistance training and 3o minutes of Cardio 3 times a week! Then they take all the same measurements again at the end of the study. I'm totally excited about this because I had already planned to join this gym... I have got to exercise and the place is open 24 hours a day so I could seriously go after the kids are in bed! HOORAY!! I currently want to lose a total of 69 lbs. Wish me luck! ;o)

The truck

So the truck is officially back to us.. only $2416.95 later! UGH!! We seriously had to get a loan to fix our truck and now we will put it back on the market with a rebuilt transmission and a lot of new parts inside. Hopefully we will get it sold so we can pay off the loan, pay all the hospital bills, buy a USED 7 seater something or other and hmmm... maybe pay for me to go to nail tech school.

I've decided that nail tech school is a great idea because it's only 300 hours and in my neighborhood I am pretty sure I could get lots of clients willing to come right into my home for their nail needs! I also think it would be a great service to be able to offer to my doula clients. Like a free pedicure and manicure when you get to 39 weeks. Just a perk of going longer than you hoped/anticipated! Jess is willing to help me with babysitting stuff and really... I could get it done in 3 months or less and be done! I'm just sick of having these times where we are dirt poor and all I can do is suggest my hubby get some side jobs. I would love to bring in a little extra cash of my own.

Hope all is well for everyone. :o)
