BIGGEST LOSER 9 FINALE!!

A couple of weeks ago we were lucky enough to be able to go to LA for the Season 9 Finale of The Biggest Loser!! We had such a good time & it was nice to get away on a little vacation - thanks to my mom & sisters for taking care of the kiddos! We got there the Sunday before the show so we got to meet most of the contestants when we got in. They all looked great! Some of them I didn't even recognize at first. On Monday we explored the area around our hotel & went to City Walk. We also took a tour around the ranch- it was a mess! They were super busy getting everything ready for the new season which started a few days after so there were things all over & the gym was completely empty. Needless to say I didn't get very good pictures there since it there wasn't much to see. :( Tuesday was the big day - we got to the studio waited for the show to start- it was lots of fun, but also really weird sitting in the audience again, but this time sitting next to Sione instead of watching him on the stage. It brought back so many memories....I still can't believe that it's been a year since Sione's finale. To be honest, it's more fun when you actually know someone on the show, but we still had a great time. I was sad that this year I didn't get a picture with Bob....they were really strict with getting pictures after the taping & getting everyone out of the studio. I guess my one from last year will just have to do. :) So here are the pictures that I did get....Enjoy!

Say Hello to our Little Friend

I know it's summertime when every morning I wake up - open up the kitchen blinds & this is what is there EVERY time.

Sorry about the quality of the pictures - I couldn't get my camera to zoom in close enough through the window.  Isn't he adorable :)  Good thing he's on the other side.

Happy Birthday x 3

A couple weeks ago we all got together to celebrate our 3 May birthdays in the family... Alyana, (7), Eternity (5), Capri (4).   We went to Zachary & Teresa's for some "circus fun",  yummy food, swimming, cotton candy & lots of treats!  The kids had a blast & I think Roxxi should have enough cotton candy made to last for her year's supply. :)  Thanks to everyone who got it all together & had us over!  I heard that Zach had to do some damage control on the pool - guess it turned green from all the kiddos. :/  Sorry.  Happy Birthday Girlys!!!!

P.S. Happy Birthday to Kalli too....don't worry I won't publish your age. 

This toy was a huge hit with the kids

CLOWNS!!!

Who would've guessed they'd be found together! :)  Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum!!
