Holidays just get funner & funner, now that the kids are getting older! Andy has loved dressing up in his pirate costume lately, so the easter bunny brought him a new outfit...a police officer!!

Brandon's Early B-Day Present

Brandon has been wanting a bowflex for sometime now, and I was lucky enough to find this one. I found it on KSL Classifieds. It's a "Bowflex Xtreme". The previous owner only used it a handful of times before moving into a new place & didn't have room to set it up again. It's like BRAND NEW!!! I got an $1800 dollar machine for only $500!! Brandon's parents, my parents and Kev & Tosh all went in on it. THANKS GUYS!! And thanks dad for helping me go pick it up! Brandon & I used it last night & boy are we SORE today!! We have turned one of our extra bedrooms into our excercise room. Now we just need to keep using it!!
