2 kids

We watched our niece Cassy today, she is very much a 5 year old. We (I) decided to take the Famdamily on a hike to Battle Creek Falls, a short 1.2 mile round trip hike. I got complaining from all parties involved, and now I am in need of a hiking buddy. Brad has expressed his distaste for hikes, but insists I do not hike alone. I joined a hiking club on Meetup.com, but they only do hikes up in Salt Lake County. I am proposing a Utah Valley hiking group. Please join?
These were all I could coax out of two crabby kids this afternoon.

Chair

I had a chair, sorry no before picture, and the upholstery was falling apart, so I decided to recover it to match the amazing foot stool from my grandma's house. A trip to IKEA, one to Micheal's, and a staple gun led to this result:

The dress, the body

The dress.
Alright, so my mom gave me some of my grandma's dresses from the 1950's and I don't quite fit into them. This green dress will look awesome on me once I slim down a bit, so I figured I'd share my goal dress. I'm thinking it is about a size 8..? Thanks to my sister, LaYen, and her awesome taste in gift giving, I start my fist of 12 personal training sessions tomorrow! Yippee!
The body.
