Plank Position with My Trainer On My Back

Today was my last day of personal group training with my instructor. I have a strong core, so my instructor challenged me by positioning her body on top of me (she is completely on top of me - her feet are not touching the floor). She's a 170lbs! Most of the girls you see in the photo can only do between 5-10 lbs. I owe it to Yoga & Pilates. Too bad a strong core doesn't correlate 6 pack abs. We did it twice to make sure I got a good picture of it.

Locked Out of My House Today

I've had car problems, so in switching between my car and Dad's car, I didn't transfer the garage door opener into the right car. In addition, I somehow didn't transfer our front door key either from 2 months ago back onto my key chain (I go through the garage and not the front door). So that left me locked out of the house today after coming home from swimming. I tried to jump the fence to access entry from the back of the house (spare key in the back), but the fence was too high. Carissa told me to be careful. Then she ran to the driveway and cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted as loud as she could, "Help! My Mommy Needs Help! Help Us!" It was funny. Luckily my neighbor was home and I used one of her chairs to prop myself over the fence (I ended up scraping my nice shoes). Sorry, no funny photos of Carissa yelling or me hauling the fence.

Nephews' B-day - Bryan(3) & Anthony(2) - 4/19



We had a great time at Bryan and Anthony's party. The funniest moment was when Anthony sat in a big hole of water and mud (maybe not so funny for their parent's though).

Out With My Friend Laurie - April 17th, Friday

Laurie took me out to Dinner at Panera (belated b-day present) and then we went to the movies to see "17 Again". Both our husbands were out camping for Boy Scouts for the weekend. So we thought it would be fun to have a girls night out. Thanks Laurie for arranging babysitting and for the fun night!

Oakland Zoo - April 16th








Marlina invited the girls and I to Oakland Zoo with her kids and two of their friends. It was our first time there and we really enjoyed it! Thanks Marlina!

Daddy at Work - April 15th


Daddy was working at the Oakland Museum, so we thought we would visit him on his lunch break and enjoy the museum too. Grandma Larsen went with us too. It's not the best museum I have ever been to, but the girls really enjoyed it. We got to see Daddy in action on the roof!

Easter Photos







ere are some photos. I had more, but I burnt some photos on a disk for Stacie (they went home with her). We had Easter at our house with Grandma & Grandpa Larsen, Stacie & Mark, Bryan & Anthony.
