Talk About Laughing Out Loud

I'm telling you, if you want to laugh out loud,

You HAVE to take a Zumba class.

I laugh the whole time!

At myself, of course!

It's the most fun I've had exercising in a long time!

First of all, I'm still chubby from having my baby

and watching myself in the mirror doing these CRAZY moves is

downright HILARIOUS!

I felt a little sheepish at first, because I am NOT a dancer!

But that's what's so funny!

I am laughing the whole time!

One time, the door to the fitness room was open and this man was walking by.

I thought it was someone from church and I almost gasped of embarrassment!

I mean, here I am acting like I want to be in a Lady Ga Ga video!

How embarrassing!

All was okay, though, it wasn't anyone I knew!

Phew!

Laughing is great medicine and if you haven't had that many laughs lately,

borrow a video from the library

or sign up for a class

and lose a little chub while laughing your 'booty' off!

Check out a sample of a class with this youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BILiNvLA-lo&feature=related

Have Fun!

Princes and Princesses

All is well!

We had our baby!



Princess Rose Katharine~born December 8, 2010.

Little Rosie is bringing so much joy to our household!

We had a few hectic days since she was born:
~Princess Elizabeth and Princess Josefiina had chickenpox. Of course, not at the same time!~Princess Rosie had a fever at 4 weeks, went to emergency and then took a ride with Mommy in the ambulance! Admitted to hospital, diagnosed with RSV-related pneumonia, came home 4 days later.
~Prince Lenny (Dad) took Prince Jacob to emergency~neurological-related symptom. Everything was fine, but just a bit scary!

Things have been a little hairy lately, but we know how much we have been blessed!

A perfect, beautiful baby has been given to us!

We get to see our children smile everyday!

We live in an area where we can find good care for our family.

Family, friends and faith are constant companions!

So when I asked God what lesson I was to learn through all of these trials~

~The only thing that kept coming to me was~
~we are all in such need of a Savior! There was no other lesson to be learned!

And now, getting to the Princes and Princesses~
When Rosie was born, Lenny said "We now have 6 princesses!

And I quickly added, "And 3 handsome Princes!"




We have told our children that they really are true Princes and Princesses,

And they are!

Their Father is the One and Only King!

We are all of Royal Blood!

How lucky we are!

All you girls out there that always dreamed of being a real Princess someday~

You are and always have been! (And, boys, don't forget you are a true Prince!)

Know it and live it and love it!
