Lifting Weights

Brent and I don't have any exercise equipment at home, so sometimes you just have to work with what you have around the house. Well...we looked around the house and all we could find were Mesele and Abinet! They seemed heavy enough so, ....... let the workout begin!Brent went first, and he had no problem doing leg curls with our heaviest weight, Mesele, clinging onto his legs.
I thought I would start with a little bit of a lighter weight, so I called Abinet on over. It took it a little bit to bet started, but I did a few reps with about 35 lbs.

Then I got REALLY ambitious and decided to go for the heavy weight! What a terrible idea. I did get him up, but boy oh boy.....did I pay for it the next day! I think Brent and I will go out and get some real weights for our next workout!

(don't ya just love how white my legs are compared to the boys?!? I thought I still had a bit of a tan, but apparently it's not enough!)

Doing What We Love!

The very best thing about going to the Duncan Lake, way out in the middle of nowhere (okay, not quite that bad....) is for the water skiing!

Every year when we camp, it seems like we get this beautiful big lake all to ourselves. You won't see other boats very often, so we can always find some glassy water (not ripples, right mom?!?) to ski on.






I'm glad that both Brent and I like to ski. We just hop in the boat with my dad and take off. For two weeks we can ski as much as we like. Sometimes we can get a bit too carried away and we get a little bit sore! (or is that just me?)








This year we had Mesele and he really wanted to learn how to waterski. He had to wait until his cast came off and then he could try.

Sure enough, once that cast was off, he was ready to go. Even though he never quite stood up on the water, he did hang on and bounce along on his bum for quite a ways!

It won't be long before this little man will be skiing like mommy and daddy!!
