I guess its the new cool thing.

Steven and I decided to join all you P90x'ers. I'm mainly excited because I've finally found something that Steven and I can do together. He never wants to do my Biggest Loser DVDs with me or Taebo. But he's really excited about it and hopefully we can keep eachother motivated. I'm excited that there is an eating plan in there too. Because I have been fairly good with keeping my calories in check but I save lots of my calories for food thats crappy. I still need to get the healthy eating aspect down.

So in 90 days, Steven will be ripped and my hopefully my abs wont look like Ron's moobs anymore.

this weekend

I havent been remembering to take alot of pictures lately and no pictures means I have nothing to blog about. So I'm glad I got some cute ones this weekend.

On Saturday morning we went to the Highland HS track. We've been going alot lately..Steven plays bball while Bastien plays in the sand next to him and I take the babies around in the stroller on the track. Yesterday it was my 3rd time running 2 miles straight. I go at a pretty slow pace (it takes me 24 mins everytime) but I'm excited for this small accomplishment and I owe it all to Sione doing that half marathon in December. Before that I couldnt run 3 minutes without stopping. After seeing Sione's pace in that 1/2 marathon I couldnt look at running the same way. So I've been slowly building my endurance up..who knows maybe I might have the guts to run a half marathon someday. ("Whoa..Dream big!" -i love that part on Juno)

We bought a van a few weeks ago, it's an astro van that was in great condition and had the sweet wood upgrades haha! (gladiator style baby) it's got mood lights and everything. The best part is that we dont have payments on it! We love it!

Dont be hatin if you see us cruisin in our pimped out astro.

Bastien and his booger rash. When do they learn not to wipe their boogies across their face?!

We went to the park on Saturday for my nephew Grant's 12th birthday. I cant believe my first little nephew is a deacon! Check out my sisters blog and see the awesome cake Mary made for Grant. She keeps getting better at it.

The babies loved walking everywhere. They will love it when we actually have a backyard. Embry's an adventurous little boy. I'm gonna have to remember to keep an extra eye out for him. He's really fast,too.

Embry taking off and Steven running after him...

little monster!

My sisters best friend Dendi (She's the black teams-Dane's sister from the Biggest Loser! ..small world huh?) and her family were at the party..it was nice to see her since she's moving to Texas next month! I bet she and Brandi are way excited to live near eachother again! I remember feeling that way when Ana moved back to AZ

Bastien and Lana..they are the cutest. They are 6 weeks apart in age and they always stick together. They may fight sometimes but they mostly love eachother:) Bastien always asks if Lana will be at Grandmas when we go there.

Sorry for the picture overload.

pouty lip

I found this picture on my camera. I'm trying to figure out how Steven had the camera at the exact moment of Embry's pouty lip? I'm thinking it was a planned scenario...what a meanie! Isnt that the saddest little face you ever saw?

little monkeys

They're cute when we lift them up near the tree outside our apartment. They both laugh and close their eyes when they feel the leaves touch them.

Read this

It's an interview with Mandi (who just got eliminated last Tuesday) I love that she helped clear up some of what was going on. I'm tired of reading bad stuff about my family so I think I'm done reading the message boards at NBC.com. It used to be fun reading the positive stuff people would say about SIone and Filipe. But it has blown way out of proportion and it's not fair because the whole story wasnt shown. I love how Sione and Filipe dont even care about any of the rude criticism and just let it roll of their backs...but this is just me being annoyed at it all. Anyways,

Here are the highlights if you dont wanna read the whole article.

Kramer added later that she thought the rift between Fam and Michaels -- which led to the cousins returning to Bob and training with him for their last chance workouts -- had developed before Michaels didn't work out Fam when they were shown in the gym together on Tuesday's broadcast. She added that conversations with Black team member Tara Costa, a 23-year-old finance manager and former model from New York, NY, had revealed that there was so much bad blood between the two that Michaels may have had an ulterior motive for not personally working Fam out in the gym.

"I think she did it intentionally, and that's only because that whole week and that week before, I used to talk with Tara and Jillian [said] at some point that she wanted to get rid of Filipe," Kramer told reporters. "And so I think [Filipe] heard word of that and that's what made him so mad in the first place."

"If anyone there's playing a game it's Jillian the most, and I think that it sucks to say that, but she really made him feel like an outsider," she added.

Kramer also said that while she did not know if Fam had done anything specifically to upset Michaels, she suggested did have a tendency to have "her favorites" and go to greater lengths to help them succeed.

"I really think she wanted Tara to be [there] for the long haul and she was just trying to eliminate anyone that was going to get in her way."

"BL 7 gone wild!"

One thing that has kinda bothered me so far is how they portray Sione as this very serious sullen person. Tonights episode I noticed a couple split second parts where they cut off Sione starting to do something funny....and I wanted to see the rest of it! I love Filipe to death..but he's not the only "funny" one of the 2. Sione is hilarious and I just wish they would show how he is most of the time. As for all the drama with Jillian, they will never show all the details involved because they didnt get it all on film. I dont want to explain or go into detail on this public blog But there was definitely some behind the scenes stuff that gives more reason to why they were so fed up with Jillian. I would have left to go train with Bob, too. Anyways, Sione and Filipe are great guys, we all know that! I cant wait for next weeks episode! They will be coming home for a week (they wont say but it was for Christmas) and it was defintely emotional seeing how much they had changed! They filmed for days that week: at the homecoming party (which was actually my Aunt's wedding reception) and at my parents house alllllll day looong...ANd at their suprise at home challenge! (That was a fun day! I wish I brought my camera) They interviewed my parents and my older brother Vuna so we'll see what actually ends up on the episode. They even recorded Embry playing outside (one of the producers kept saying how beautiful the twins were..of course!) but I bet they will only show a few seconds of all that filming! I will write more about it next week! Here are the only pics I remembered to take the day they came home! We joked about how Sione looks like Sayid from Lost!

Mary drew big heads of Sione and Filipe, and we glued them on sticks. I was at Americopy making copies of them and the guy asked me what they were for and after telling him (Mary had drawn their heads as fat people..look at the pic below) the guy said (pointing to Sione's pic) "He looks alot like you" I was like "Gee, thanks... I hope not" It was a character drawing! and he's all "No..it's the lips" yeah nice save buddy..you just told me I looked like one of those huge head character drawings! K thanks see ya.

Jasper's 1st haircut and random pictures...

Before

After

I'm still getting used to it. I dont like my boys hair cut too short and Steven cut it pretty dang short. It'll be perfect in a month. There is no way he is getting near Embry's frizzy curls. I love them, I cant wait for there to be a whole head of them!

This is last Sunday after we got back from Tucson we just took it easy bc we were pretty pooped from the weekend. The babies were napping and I was in my room reading. It was quiet in the living room and I came out and thought this was a cute picture. Steven was reading and Bastien was sitting by him playing with Steven's itouch. This pic doesnt really show, but Bastiens face was a mess this weekend! He ran into an ocotillo tree thorn, bumped faces with Evan, bumped something unknown again, and his lips and whole left cheek was chapped because he kept wiping his boogers across his face....gross. And he has a nice little habit of sucking on his shirt.

This is about 4pm everyday when daddy gets home from work.

just transfering pics from my moms comp...
