Mind VS Body

I just finished my second week of boot camp! Only 4 more weeks to go. Colby, our trainer, says that most of our work outs are just mental. It's fighting mentally with your body. Last night I felt like I really pushed myself and was pretty impressed with how much my body can handle this week. I am not feeling as sore but I think that I am starting to see little results, or maybe I am just feeling more confident in myself.  Which ever the case I feel great and look forward to the next week.

~My 25th Birthday weekend~

I cannot believe that I am 25 years old! I have to admit I was freaking out a little...25 just seems so old! Sadly time cannot be stopped and the years will just keep adding up...so I'll just embrace it instead.

That morning Zaak took me to breakfast after dropping Kyren off at school and I got to hang out with him all day! Later my sweet husband and mom put together a birthday dinner at our house. We have all our family over for some yummy green enchiladas and pazookies! Thank you both for the making me feel so special. Also my grandma and aunt surprised me with their delicious nachos =P...and my mother-in-law brought me a cake!  We played xbox kinnect and ended the night watching a movie with my cousin and husband. It was a great day.

On Saturday we rode the light rail for the first time. We took it all the way to  Chase Field for a baseball event that was going on. We went with my aunt, uncle and cousins. The kids loved the light rail...it was pretty busy. We went and grabbed some yummy lunch together, then went to the Scottsdale Mall for some shopping. The boys got these cute hats and Zaak and I got a couple of outfits. We hurried home and got ready to go out on a date to Fogo de Chao. Its a Brazilian restaurant that has food to die for!

On Valentines day I came home to a bag and a balloon...inside the bag were a pair of shoes! My husband knows me all to well to know that I would appreciate shoes more than flowers on v-day. Zaak was so smooth and had the whole night planned out. We first went to dinner at my favorite restaurant, yes he had made reservations so we didn't have to wait at all.  Then we went to a movie, and Zaak had gotten our tickets earlier so we didn't have to wait in the long line. Our night was very romantic and we had a lot of fun. Thanks babe for the great valentines day!  You made me feel so special and I'm just head of heels for you!

Happy Valentine's Day

Brody's Valentines Card

Kyren's Valentines Card

I love you all through February,
Not just on Valentine’s Day;
I cherish you when flowers of spring
Appear in the midst of May.

I adore you in the summer,
When the air is filled with heat;
Without you in my life each day,
I wouldn’t be complete.

I treasure you in fall,
When leaves are turning gold;
I loved you when you were younger;
I’ll love you when you’re old.

I prize you in the winter,
When colder days are here;
I love you, love you all the time,
Every minute of the year.

So I’ll give to you this Valentine,
But I want to let you know,
It’s not just today, but always,
That I will love you so.

Love the Muros

The next six weeks

I've always have had his idea of what the perfect me would look like, and as I stare in the mirror I realize that I am far from it. Why do all us women stare at the cover of magazines and wish we looked just like that perfect girl?...Even if we know that in reality the photo has been photo shopped to look amazing. I have always struggled with my image and think I am never good enough. I have decided to get rid of this obsession and work with what I've got. Sure my tummy is not as flat as it once was before having two beautiful kids, my legs aren't firm and the list can go on and on...so from this day forth I am making an effort to eat healthier, work out and just accept who I am and what I look like.

I have joined a boot camp! It's not all just physical, I will also be working on my inner self. I have six weeks to love what I see on the outside as much as I love the me on the inside. I will not be using a scale because the purpose of me doing this has nothing to do with a number. I just want to feel good about myself. 

So for those readers out there(if I have any) I will be tracking my progress on my blog. I will share thoughts, feelings and progress as the next six weeks come along. 

This is my journey into a fit and healthier me =)

A little TruTV action in my life

So for those that know Zaak and I know that we love to watch TruTV and all the shows such as The First 48, Bait car, etc. Well this week while at my sister-in-laws I got to witness some real life action myself! We were inside her house when all of a sudden I head something saying "This is the police come out..." we run to her screen door to find two big SWAT cars blocking the road, undercover police cars, and a lot of men dressed in all black with big guns! We never really found out what they were after but they banged open their door and had people handcuffed sitting on the side walk. It was pretty intense, considering this was all done smoothly and there weren't any guns shot I don't know if I'd like to see stuff like this often especially since Brody was with me. I'll just stick to watching it on TV =)

Zaak's Birthday!

See this man right here...I just LOVE HIM to  death! Last Friday we celebrated his birthday. He's 24! We had our whole family over for dinner and had a great time! As you can see we had a great turn out (about 40+)

Chatting with guests and blowing out the birthday cake!

This cake was Kelley's idea. We thought it was very creative!

I am so thankful to have Zaak as my husband. He is the best father and husband. I honestly do not know how  I would get through my day without him. 

Happy Birthday Zaak! Hope you enjoyed your special day.
