Yoga- Day 1


I love doing yoga. It is so relaxing and I get to workout at the same time. When we lived in Buckeye the community center offered a yoga class at a price that was too good to turn down. Since we have moved, I can't find an affordable yoga class. So I bought this video in hopes of not having to sign up for a gym membership. I am very zen right now eating my brownie bite (I did just workout)  and blogging. I hope to continue to do the video when Calvin naps. The video is set up in 5 segments. Day 2 -4 requires yoga blocks, I missed that when I read the back of the dvd. Hopefully I can get one at a good price on ebay or amazon. Maybe someone had good intentions to use them and never did.
Calvin found my yoga mat out the other day when I tried a Tai Chi dvd from the library. Tai Chi is not for me, very zen but there was no workout. I taught Calvin some yoga moves that I remembered from my classes. Calvin was very quick to learn 'happy baby'! You lay on your back and grab your big toes and sway your body side to side. I will get a picture and post soon.

Summer Fun!

I can't believe we are only a few days away from July. June flew by and our July calendar is crazier than June. It is definitely getting hot here. We have had a heat advisory the past few days with 115/114 degree days. So when we have the chance we love to swim or play in the water.
Pictures date from Father's day weekend to beginning of June.

He looks so big there~  Swimming at Uncle Troy and Aunt Alison's house for Grandpa Bewley's bday party.





Happy Father's Day! 


 New shirt from Grandma Bewley- It says One Tough Cookie with caption bubbles saying "Hey Ladies" & "Which way to the gym?"
 Wearing his new comfy clothes. Cousin Connor passed down the light up shoes. Calvin loves them! He wore then for 45 minutes the first time we put them on him stomping all over the house to make the shoes light up.

 The best $10 spent! He loves playing in his pool. He even "swims"

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day!!

 

     This weekend we get to celebrate our dads! We started our celebration with breakfast at my aunt's house with my grandparents and family. Because after all we have to celebrate Grandpa's too! Then we get to have a fun afternoon planned at Troy and Alison's wishing Mike a very happy 60th birthday and father's day! Sunday we get to have lunch with my dad and mom. After that, the rest of the day is dedicated to whatever Bryon wants to do. I think he mentioned BJ's for dinner and I'm sure the fact they have pazuki for dessert crossed his mind when choosing the restaurant.
     Bryon is such an amazing dad. I am probably biased when I say this but he is the most loving and caring daddy. He worships the ground Calvin walks on and yet disciplines him in a loving way so he will grow up to be kind and respectful. The black and white picture is Calvin's newborn pictures when he was 2 weeks old. He is so safe in Bryon's hands. The other picture is when the nurse gave Calvin to Bryon for the first time. He was so gentle and just looked at him in a way I can't express in words.
     Happy Father's Day to my dad as well for all of the things he has done throughout the years. All the way from changing dirty diapers to using garbage cans as batters so I could become a better pitcher to walking me down the aisle to loving my son the way he loved me. Thank you Dad!! We love you very much!

4 Years of Wedded Bliss!

Yesterday Bryon and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary! We were talking about how it seems like we were just planning our wedding and now here we are 4 years later with an amazing son. We had a quiet night at home just the three of us. I made chicken tacos and then we headed outside to enjoy the cooler weather. Calvin is into bubbles so we played with bubbles and drew on the sidewalk with chalk.
Bryon's parents surprised us with a night at a hotel for Monday. We are going to lay by the pool and try to get some sun. Then we get to have dinner just the two of us! My parents are taking Calvin for the night and then going to join us Tuesday poolside. Mike and Denise may also join us, we will make a fun two days out of it!

Here are two photos out of the many favorite ones I have of our wedding.
Bryon and I saw each other before I walked down the aisle. (The best idea ever!)  The Brad Paisley song "Waiting on a Woman" comes to mind when I look at this picture.




I can't wait to grow old with Bryon and see all of what God has in store for us! He is an amazing man, best friend and father!
