Oh.My.Gosh!

SOOOO fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just started Zumba dance lessons tonight and it is SOOOO much fun! (not sure what Zumba Dancing is? I didn't know either! but it is a blast!) I didn't think I'd ever be able to dance again because I've been out of dancing for so long...and my body shows it terribly. But a friend from class is the instructor and talked me into it. It's 2 days a week, 1 hour each day (As IF I even have that time in my day...but I gotta breathe sometime right?) And I am so glad I went. I felt a littl foolish because I haven't danced really for about 6 years now...so I'm rusty, but I was proud of myself for how fast I actually was able to pick it up.

Also SOOOOO fun! My wonderful friend Andrea came from California to Utah for a week and stayed some time at my house and Michelle, Drea, and I had a fantastic time! Just like our old college days living together, we stayed up WAY late and visited almost every night. We laid out on the tramp one day and watched falling stars, and visited long into the night. It was so great! They are fantastic friends. Dont' know what I'd do without them! So glad you came to visit Drea! You were a blast! I LOVE you. Hopefully I can get out to Cali come April...:0)

School has been BUSY BUSY BUSY. Surprisingly, my hardest class right now is my photography class. Didn't see that one coming. It's been my easiest up to now. I think it's more a time thing now. I'm being required to take FAR more photos then ever before, and between my sweet babe, my hubbers, and work, I barely catch my breath! We rarely see Ashton because his school work is so hard this semester, but he is super dooper smart, and I know he will do great this semester. It will be nice when school is over and I will be able to see him again.

My waistline was expanding greatly though with all the sitting I do to work lately...hence the dance lessons! I hope to look like a smokin babe soon here! If anyone wants to come do the dance aerobics with me, it's every Monday and Wednesday night from 8:30-9:30 at the Tuellers school of dance, it's $3 a lesson, and so worth the time. It's a blast!

I feel like life is passing me by once again (A regular thing I seem to feel) but I have hopes that someday I will catch up with life...it can't run from me forever. I don't want to miss Aspen growing up. I love her more than life. She is the sweetest little imp ever! She makes our lives so fun, and she makes us laugh everyday. I'm shocked daily by the words that come out of her mouth. She is simply so amazing! She says the biggest words. She is loving dancing, and does it pretty well for a 3 year old, well enough to come home and show us what she learned. Only at her own choosing though...she won't show us if we ask. She is very stubborn. A trait I'm sure she got from her father (hee, hee...love you Ashton) ok, really she probably got it from me...but let's not point fingers here. She is lovable and for the most part very kind to others. She still tells me she needs a broder or sister...but that's in God's hands...not mine I can tell.

I'm feeling older everyday. I never thought I'd start FEELING my age...but it's starting, and those wrinkles around my eyes. Don't tell me you can't see them, because I promise if you look at my family pics from 2 years ago and my pics now, you will see them. Speaking of! We had our family pics taken by Heather Taylor Photography (LOVE her!) so here are a few of them. We like them! I think my babe is simply adorable!

You have such a cute family! I thought about doing Zumba, but I know I couldn't keep up and I would probably die right there on the floor. It does look fun though.

Oh my gosh, Aspen is such a little princess. What beautiful girls you are!

I'm glad you're doing the dance class. Sounds like a blast! I'm feeling my age, too... that's why we had to buy a crib because I couldn't bend over to get Livi out of the pack 'n play anymore. ugh.

Love ya, girl. Glad you're doing well.

Oh man! I've been wanting to do the zumba whatever dance thing! Ha ha! I'd look like such a fool thought. I swear every day I get less and less coordinated. I love the family pictures!

Zumba sounds like a blast! How hard is it? I mean... I didn't dance a ton in high school or anything... but I LOVE to dance! I'd be up for it! Especially since you can pay per class you attend.

I'm glad you're finding time to do something for YOU. You deserve it.

And by the way- I'm feeling my age too. Just playing on the playground with my students wipes me out for the rest of the day. LoL.

Your little girl is so cute! I think she looks like you. You have a cute family.

Beautiful family pictures! Zumba sounds fun, though I am NOT a dancer. You deserve something fun like that, just for you, so I'm glad you're doing it! And about feeling your age... yeah, been feeling that lately! I have new wrinkles around my eyes too... no fun!

I love dancing! I wish I could take with you that sounds so fun. Your family pics are darling! I also wish I could have some great photographers like you and Heather take a family photo for us!
