Just hanging out this weekend with the family. Sam is sleeping and Jake and Alex are busy playing trains on my new treadmill. David got me this awesome treadmill for my birthday. I know many are thinking, what a lame gift, what exactly is he trying to say. So you won't feel sorry for me, I asked for this gift, have been asking for it for a year and a half, every major gifting holiday. Finally got it and I am so excited and very motivated. My post 3rd baby body is not what I envisioned 10 years ago. Must lose the butt and hips. I have to say I have enjoyed getting back into running. I feel much better and whether or not I look it, I feel skinnier when I'm done running. So that is where you will find me during naptime, running my rolling hills program and watching Sex and the City DVDs that my SIL let me borrow (I've never seen any of them).
On a side note, I am moving all of my scrapbooking stuff to the sunroom upstairs. It used to be our office but we're moving the computer out into the hallway so w can see the kids when they're using it. So excited. Until now I've had an unfinished closet to store my stuff and a fold out table to scrap on. Anyway, I'm almost done and stuff is everywhere. Sam comes into the sunroom, looks at all my stuff, and says "is this where people go to shop?" Out of the mouths of babes, huh? Guess it's time to use more and buy less.

One long but fun weekend
Friday morning Heather and I went to Charlotte for the CKC event. We signed up for 4 classes and loved them all. The first was a simple scrapbooks class taught by Marnie Flores and she is hilarious. Made 4 layouts. Then off to the 2008 latest and greatest with basic grey class which rocked. We made 4 layouts whch were awesome and then purchased the second page of the layouts to finish at home for a total of 8 pages! Then a quick lunch and lots of shopping followed by a technique tuesday class which was fun and messy. Gotta love that. Then off to our last class with SEI-an entire album! Talk about one productive day and all without the kids. Much needed break.
Saturday was man day so David took Sam and Jake to make rounds, eat breakfast and go to the gunshow. They had a great time, but Alex was forced to take one for the team with Mommy and was clearly ticked about it. He cried when they left and just wants to be big too. When they got home we packed up to go camping with the Godleys. they have boys the same ages as ours so great fun to hang out with. The campsites were pretty full so it took about an hour to find one. Jake sat in the back yelling "I want to go camping" getting louder each time with increased inflection on camping. It rained on us for most the afternon so we hung out under a tarp until t quick a little before dinner time. We played until dark and then put kids to bed (much harder task for the Godleys than for us) before we hung out around the fire until about 11. Had breakfast and packed up much to the dismay of my children who cried about having to leave saying "we love camping." Everybody seemed to have fun running around playing war with their toy guns the whole time. Headed home and tried to recover.
Today, ran a quick errand and have spent the morning hanging out here. Alex is clearly very smart and it appears will have no problem joining the crowd and holding his own. He took Sam's blanket from him this morning and when Sam said hey quickly took off crawling away giggling. I think he has discovered how to play with his brothers. Can't wait to see how their relationships continue to grow with Alex. So glad they can play together now.
Will add pics later when the boy wake up.
