2 days into the challenge

I am 2 days into the Sit ups Challenge...and whew! I have sore abs. I didn't think it would hurt like this...but no pain, no gain.

I am 2 for 2....I've done 100 Sit ups each day. 28 days left of the challenge!

Dakota sat and helped me keep track of how many I did today...and since he can't count higher than 25...we did 25 increments to 100. Dakota even handed me my bottle of water and told me to take a break and have a drink. What a handsome little trainer I have.

Memorial Day Weekend Fun

Dakota found this shell and told me, "look, it has 2 eyes!"

This was our 2nd time to go camping as a family...though the kids and I stayed in the camper with Jed's grandmother, Boo...I still call it camping. Jed stayed in the tent with his mom...because he was doing some night fishing and would be getting in late anyway.

Last Memorial Day, we went camping in Oklahoma. This year, we stayed close and camped in East Texas right off the lake. The kids were a bit more used to water...thanks to going to the gym pool with Grandma. Dakota can "swim" with his life jacket on...Lily just floats when you put her life jacket on.

Wanna hear about something else pretty amazing? Jed has been working on this boat that was given to him over a year ago. There was a hole in the floor of the boat and the people who owned it before let it sit out in the rain and all. Jed replaced the floor, fixed the trailer tires, hooked up lights, took apart the engine and fixed it...and was able to take it out on it's 1st fishing adventure this past weekend. What a proud moment that was for Jed!! it resulted in 27 fish caught!! (he had his Uncle's help in catching the fish) I didn't get any pictures of the boat on the lake....because we were all asleep....but that cooler full of fish is more than proof enough.

Brooke and Lily...Cool girls!

Lily's favorite words of the weekend were--> "Mommy, boat, water, and swimming."

It was a relaxing time even with the kids fighting for my attention and lap....I think I've heard "no, it's MY mommy" too much lately. The kids had such an enjoyable time at the lake that I can't wait til we go to Florida...they will have a blast at the beach. And I can't wait to try out this new camera at the beach.....Lots of Kodak memories will be snapped....you can count on that.

I had to get up early to capture this picture...Thanks to Boo!

And the sun is up...time to start the day

3,000 Sit ups Challenge

Whew!! what an awesome weekend...We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend...I will post about that soon. But...today is the 1st day of June..which means the start of something new!
I am taking part in the 3,000 Sit ups Challenge. That is 3,000 sit ups/crunches for the month of June. The plan is to do 100 sit ups/crunches a day. I have a few mommy friends joining me in this challenge which will help with accountability. This challenge comes at the perfect time....the month before vacation!! I am also hoping that posting this here might help me stay on top of blogging as well...that way, I can share my progress. But if I am not around nearly as often...then you know what I am doing...catching up on my sit ups.

So who want's to join me?? I can "try" to remember each day to check with you and see if you are doing your sit ups as well. It will be neat to see the transformation after 1 month of sit ups every day.
