Sure Missed Our Girl (June 28, 2021)

Weigh in day today.

I weighed in at 183.6 lbs.

That's up 2 lbs since last weigh in.

I honestly wasn't that surprised.

Even though we were very active over the weekend, I did eat a lot of carbs and I didn't track any points at all.
This week, my goal is to track, track, track!

I really want to see the 170's!

I got this top over the weekend in Manning.

I like that it's nice and bright, cars will be able to see me when I'm out running.

I thought it was a large but turns out it was a small so it's not as loose as I'd like but it does fit.
Imagine, me, in a small!

Pretty amazing.

Side view.

Back view.

I headed out for a run on my lunch hour.
Even though I ran both days on the weekend, I wanted to do Monday, Wednesday and Friday today so I just got to it.



I was feeling pretty good but right around the 2k mark, I suddenly had the urge to go the bathroom and I hoped it would go away but it didn't, so I had to cut the run short and head directly home.

So I only got 2.5k in.
Guess that means I'll be running again tomorrow!

Jason went out for a long bike ride this afternoon and when he came home, he had a little visitor with him.
He missed her so much that he just went down there and got her.

The first thing she wanted was a bubba!
I convinced her to try on one of the new outfits I'd picked up for her on the weekend.
It looked so cute.

She sure loves her bubba.

She wanted a bath which she hasn't wanted for a while.
Maybe it was the heat.

She was pretending to be a mermaid.

When I finished work, we went for a walk and she always has to run up the neighbor's pathway a couple times.

We stopped at the store and Freya knew just what she wanted!

She got a sucker too and actually kept it for awhile.
Normally it's one lick then in the garbage it goes.

We stopped and got ice creams.
She wanted to sit in the high chair while we were waiting for them.

Freya and I both had baby cones, they are just the perfect size.

She loves putting it on her face on purpose to make it look messy.

She still has the sucker - amazing!

She was willing to share.

She picked out some chips for Daddy but I guess she needed to test them out.

We stopped by her place too.
We happened to be walking by and she just had to go in and give Daddy a kiss and a hug.
She also had to show us how good she'd gotten at riding her bike too.

We hung out there for a short time then headed back up to our place with her.
She was spending the night with us.

We discovered a new song that she thought was hilarious.
Just a cat flushing a toilet.
It is a pretty cute song.

It was so hot that we slept in the spare room in the basement tonight.
You can feel the temp dropping as you go down the stairs - it's much cooler down there.

Crystal posted some pictures from their weekend camping trip so I thought I'd share those as well.

Pretending to nap.

Hanging out on the dock.

Grandma Crystal and Freya.

Testing the paddle boat out on dryland.

Beach time.
I love this picture - just the lighting is so pretty.

Tubing and boating - is there anything better than being out on the water?
I think not!


That's all for today, until next time, be happy!

Family Pictures (June 27, 2021)

We were up and out for a run first thing this morning.


It was pretty hot out there so we both agreed that a short run would be enough for today.

My splits.
I was feeling pretty good at the 3k mark and thought I could have went further but that's when I turned and headed back and as you can see, the heat was starting to get to me, plus the way back was uphill.
 
I was happy to meet back up with My Honey.

We did our cool down walk together back to the house.

It's so pretty here.

The house.

The clay oven and the garden.
His parents have an amazing garden.

The row of trees by the fence has grown so much since I first started coming here.

Bertha (Jason's mom) keeps the bottoms of the trees trimmed and they look so nice.

The oven was finally cooled down enough to get it covered back up.

His mom takes such good care of it, I think that's the main reason why it's staying in such good condition.

They really have such a nice, peaceful place here, wish we could stay a few more days.

I've been wanting a picture of Jason and his parents for my gallery wall so I made them pose for one for me today.

This one is the keeper.
I'm going to get it printed out and finally my gallery wall will be complete!

Just because we were out there, I got Bertha to take a picture of Jason and I too.

I've always loved the door on this shed - it's pretty cool.

We had some breakfast/lunch - one more slice of gingerbread cake, then we packed up and headed out.

We were driving along and I saw what looked like a statue of a moose by the trees.
As we passed it, I realized it actually was a moose and she had a baby with her.
They stayed there in the grass so we turned around and went back to take a picture.

Jason snapped this one.

Zoomed in.

That was all he could get though then they were running off into the woods.

There was a graffiti filled train that we passed along the way.

Some of the art is pretty impressive.

We stopped in Peace River to get a few things at Walmart.
I picked up a few petunias because they were so pretty.
We checked a few stores looking for a swimming pool but everyone is sold out - not surprising as we are in the middle of a heat wave.

As soon as we got home, the first thing I did was repot the petunias I'd picked up.

It was a hot drive so I wanted to make sure I got them some water right away.

Mom watered my other plants while I was gone and between that and all the heat and sunshine they've been getting, they were looking gorgeous when we pulled into the driveway.

They just filled in beautifully.

The lower one on this table was looking terrible when we left so I was pretty impressed that it came back so well.

Haylee, Kody and Freya were camping over the weekend with her mom and grandparents.

We were hoping we could have Freya over for the night tonight, we've missed her so much but they were going to be getting home late.

Tomorrow night instead.

Haylee did post some pictures of their weekend so I thought I would share.
Looks like they had a good time.

Freya and Zepplyn.
Can't believe Haylee got her to leave a ponytail in.
They look so cute on her but she normally pulls them out immediately.

Jumping.

Making silly faces.

Ha ha - more silly faces.

Kody doing some fishing.

Just soaking up the sunshine together.

They did some swimming.

Freya just chilling on a floatie.

Campfires are a must when camping.

They both look so sunkissed - it's a good look!

My sweet girl - she's looking so grown up.

I like Zepplyn's hair like this back in barrets - you can see her beautiful face better!

I saw this on Instagram - I'd love to make something just like someday, possibly in a summer cottage or something.

Cute!


That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
