Camera Catasrophy

I am so bummed. I have some sweet videos and pics I took from Saturday, but can't post them for awhile. Unfortunately our camera is broken. We took Grace to the park on Saturday and it was so much fun! It was a nice day although a bit windy, but despite that our Lil Miss had a blast! She loves being outside. She went down the slide and she swung in the swings and just had a ton of fun. However when I would reach down to grab her little hand to walk back to the truck our camer fell out of my pocket, and now its broken. It won't take pictures. What I am not sure about is whether this is bad or good. I took the camera to a shop today and they told me that it would cost the same amount to fix it as it would to buy a new camera that had more features and mega pixels.

Looking at camera's makes me want to get a cool camera that you can do more stuff with, but that is way out of our budget now, so we won't. I just have to find a "new" camera so I can get more Pookie pics and videos.

I don't remember if I posted this pic, but I took it with my cell phone for KSov when he was out of town.

Worked out tonight, did my half hour of running plus some. Now its late and time for bed. But I thought I would pop in and give you an update on why I have blogged anything for a few days.

Soup Making

This is my version of Pioneer Woman's Tomato Soup. We made her recipe several weeks ago and I loved the sherry that she puts in it. I cooked the onions a lil bit more this time and added more butter, less sherry and we pureed everything together last time. I did it again this time but blended it longer, which I think worked better. Added a bit of garlic and hot sauce for a tiny kick. Only a smidge really. :)

But let me tell you I have been dreaming about this soup ever since I had the best tomato soup when we went to Alaska. I think this soup is so good and last time I made it I just ate it and ate it. Of course when I was making it again I was paying more attention to the ingredients and realized that it is probably not the healthiest thing to eat. Ha! But whatever I had turkey burgers for dinner again and so I can have yummy unhealthy tomorrow. These are my soup helpers. I drop, splish and splash tomato soup and they help clean it up! Its been awhile since they made an appearance on the blog. Poor puppers they are starved for time at the dog park and I can't wait to go this spring. I want to go outside too! SummerGirl is dying for sunny weather!

This package came today from Grace's Yia Yia. We love getting clothes and appreciate it so much! Such great garage sale finds, I don't know about you but I LOVE a bargain and have no qualms about getting in deep to find some good deals! Mostly sized 2T and bigger we can put these away for a little bit and have a stash saved up! Thanks so much Yia Yia.

I had to pull this one outfit and take a pic because I just love this cute top and shorts! (Don't mind the lil bag of half eaten Fritos)

Here is the pic I took for Daddy tonight. Daddy and I have an agreement, whenever he is out of town I send him pictures of his Pooks. I had to grab it real quick and shoot it off before I put her to bed, because I almost forgot!

Isn't she just the cutest?
Workout tonight consisted of no cardio. But I did 100 situps, a ton of leg lifts and squats and lunges till my legs burned. Also I grabbed the 10lb weight and did squats and worked my triceps and biceps and did like Thigh Master motions (but without the Thigh Master since I don't own one of those) I did that till my legs burned too.

My My What a Clever girl

So mommy was cleaning up dinner tonight and I heard the clanging of the fireplace tools and I look over and see our little girl had climbed up onto the fireplace hearth. At first I thought she had used the dog bed for a bit of a boost. That was not the case because I took her down and then a few mintues later I spied a baby climbing up all by herself with no help from any dog beds. To make matters worse then she stood up and was doing her clogging dance stomp with mommy standing right there. Silly baby.
Tonight I made turkey burgers for her and I and she ate half of a turkey burger. She liked it, although I thought for the first time cooking them, that they were a bit bland and I will add more seasonings next time.
I was going to do my Yoga DVD tonight and not obsess with the treadmills and its many numbers, however, the playstation has not been hooked back up from our snowboarding trip and I can't do Yoga upstairs. (2 reasons for this are, the TV is too high on the wall and there is not enough room to do the poses, and we have our story cd in the dvd player, that if I take it out I will lose our spot...I guess that is technically three reasons.)
So I decided instead to get on the treadmill and do a "lite" workout. Do you think that happened? Well no it didn't. Although I did walk more then normal because I did talk to both KSov and my dad while I was huffing and puffing. So maaaybee it was a little bit lighter, but I still did 3.30 miles.
And now I am finishing up my post for tonight watching American Idol and about to go take a shower.
Hows your week going?

Kick Your Heels, Stomp Your Feet!

So apparently this not viewing videos on blogspot is an ongoing problem and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I am considering some possible changes for sure if this continues.

KSov had a rough day of flying today. His first flight was orginally delayed 2 hours. Then when he arrived in his layover city there was a huge line of people waiting to reschedule their flights and his second flight was almost canceled but luckily he made it back east and called me at almost midnight his time. Poor guy I know he is beat.

Tonight I jumped on the treadmill again. Did a warm up and cool down and ran for a total of 3.6o miles. I did a few situps but I have to admit I fell off the situp bandwagon right before our snowboarding trip. But I am going to keep posting about working out so that you all can keep me on track. And if you don't read any work out updates shoot me a comment or something, saying, "Hey hows that going for you?" Ha ha then I will make sure I am sticking to it!

Ok its late I have to wrap this post UP! Night!

Weekend Updates

Check us out we finally have some new blinds in...one window. Ha ha we took our Home Depot Gift cards that we have been saving and finally went to Home Depot and bought some blinds. I actually thought KSov wasn't going to put them up till next weekend because we spent all Saturday getting the guest room cleaned out for Crystal to rent. But he didn't want to tack up the sheet again! Here is the other box we got for the front kitchen window. We were going to orginally do wood stained blinds. I thought that you could get the Faux ones but in a wood color, but they weren't not as inexpensive, so once I realized that then we chose the white ones. This way we can get more bang for our buck. We bought 2 windows worth. We also looked into to doing 2 side by side narrow blinds for the sliding glass door, because we both hate those vertical hanging blinds for doors. Besides 2 German Shepherds and a toddler are NOT good for those. But when we talked about it at Home Depot, the gal said that, it's probably not a good idea to do it like that because you would have to duck under the blinds even when they were pulled up all the way. Because it would be a min of about 72 inches. We realized that she was probably right especially for tall people like KSov. So we need to come up with another plan for the sliding glass door.

KSov is going to New York tomorrow. Seems like he was just gone and off he goes again. But its good training he gets to learn. Then next weekend KSov's sister Crystal will be moving into the bottom basement.

I have 2 new videos I was going to post tonight and if I can't get them to work then I have to email blogspot and see what the deal is. KSov seems to think its the site that is causing the problem.

My lil Helper

These pics I took on Friday night I think..after her bath. Thats her toothbrush, she loves hanging on to it and chewing it. Happy fresh clean baby.

Hmmm, now what do we have here??

I got those pj's 2 for 5.99 and they are 18months, with open footies and they can be closed footies too.

Most adorable ever!

Here is my helper baby today. We were cleaning up a lot today and I had the swiffer out. I came into the kitchen and there she was pushing it around.

This is a video of her cleaning. Let me know if you can't view it. I posted the other video on Thursday and whenever I have tried posting videos lately they don't show the image when they are finished uploading. So when I did the previous post I thought I would just put the video on anyway and see what happens. For me at least I was able to play the video. So if you can't view it, just let me know.

Finally Friday

Whooo Hooo its Friday tomorrow!!!! I worked out tonight and it was HARD. I aint gonna lie. I did not want to do it one bit. But I did and pushed through it. Ran for 35 minutes showered and now we are listening to our story tape.
Almost time for bed.
Night Night!
