Time for Mom's visit

Mom is making her way cross country tomorrow for her two week visit with us.. It should be fun, as much fun as the two of us can handle.  We hit the 100 mark today but it's dropping back into the 80's on Wed for a few days. I don't think she'll like those temps but we'll be inside most of the time.
Another week of the same.. My weeks are pretty consistent. We take the drive into Vegas on Sunday for Church and we stopped at JCPenney's on the way home and then had a salad for lunch..
Today was the gym, Walmart for a few groceries, then my pedicure..I love to have my tired feet pampered.. I've heard it's good for your over all health to have healthy pampered feet so that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
 The girls are as precious as ever. Lady doesn't get all bent out of shape when Molly is too close anymore and they both share the bed on the occasional nap day..

What to say what to say

When we're moving around there's a lot to say cause each couple of weeks it's usually a different town or activity going on but when I'm staying put for the entire summer I don't want to repeat the same old stuff so I'll try to keep my weekly updates interesting. April seems to be going by pretty quickly.. It's been a much cooler April than last year that's for sure but I believe we're heading into the hot time of the season.. The next 10 days are calling for mid 80's to low 90's.. That's my comfort zone.. I'm usually good till it hits the 100 degree mark then I get warm..
 I'm trying to get over to the gym 4-5 times a week, to get out of the house and keep myself busy and limber.. I also like to walk whenever I can out at the lake. Once we hit 100 I wont be able to walk to much unless I go real early (not happening) or real late. I can walk on the treadmill at the gym but I'd rather be outside enjoying the sunshine and breeze.
 Steph and I went bowling last week and had a great time so I see us doing that more and more this summer. If I could  get Reid to go with me that would be fun too.. Sprinkle in pet grooming's, color therapy for me (aka: wash that gray right out of my hair)  and a pedicure and that's pretty much my month.
We've also found a Church that we like in Vegas so our Sundays have been busy with driving around the mountain for Church, stopping for lunch or running errands then heading back to the valley and the girls..
 Mom's coming for a visit next week so we'll be entertaining her. I see some competitive games of Yahtzee coming our way.
 That's all for now.

Settling In

We've been back over a week and I guess we're getting settled in.  The weather, the main reason we "settled" in this part of the country has been beautiful.. Sunny days with cool nights.. It's door and window opening weather where no heat or air is needed right now.
 Reid seems to love it here so I try to keep busy so I don't get too bored..
I joined the gym again and I'm taking an aerobic class that meets three times a week, a Zumba class that meets twice a week and the there a PACE program that I can do at my on "pace" it's very similar to the curves concept (they just can't us the name "curves") I'm getting out of the house daily doing those activities.. Of course the girls keep me busy too so if I'm at home I'm usually tossing a ball for Molly. In the evenings I have Braves baseball to cheer for and I have my crocheting and reading too. Sounds like I'm busy so why does it feel like I have so much free time. Steph stops by at least once on her days off and I give her our left overs so on her work days she'll have something other than fast food to eat. It works out pretty good since we don't eat a lot of leftovers any more the food doesn't go to waste.
 I guess that's all I have to talk about for now.. The sun is out and my patio is empty so I guess I'll go set outside for a bit.. I want to go to aerobic at noon but Reid and Lonnie are installing a swamp cooler (similar to an air conditioner but not really) so I might be needed for puppy patrol while they are doing it.. I'll go do the pace later if I have to miss the noon class..
 chat later.
