I Workout + Question 2

I've been trying really hard to workout every morning. I've been doing this workout program I absolutely LOVE! I started it the beginning of January, and only got about 3 spotty weeks in before I got distracted, so I've started over with renewed vigor! It's a YouTube channel called FitnessBlender and it's a husband/wife duo that I really like. All of the workouts are free, but I spent $15  to purchase a "program" that puts videos on a schedule for me, so it's 8 weeks of balanced workouts that I don't have to plan. The program I'm doing is fat loss for busy people, and every day is 30 minutes or less. I have really been enjoying these workouts and feel like I'm getting better and quicker results than I have doing other things (P90X, 30 Day Shred, Biking, Walking, etc). Anyway, Hendrix knows the routine and like to....help....me workout. Usually it means he is crawling all over me which either a) makes the workout more intense, or b) makes it more dangerous. A few days ago he really wanted to lift my heavy weights and was making me nervous, so I gave him his own "weights" (some blocks) and he had so much fun doing the workouts. He did waaaaay more reps than me!! He also thought he deserved some of my post workout protein shake ;)

He then proceeded to shut me out of the shower........

Saturday was so sunny (but still very chilly!) so we laid in the sun in the living room and pretended we were outside ;) Aren't my children so beautiful??

Nana made chocolate banana bread at 7:30pm (Hendrix's bedtime) and he got to stay up late to help. We LOVE Nana's treats....maybe a little too much. Nana, Papa, and I are all trying to eat healthier and lose some weight and it's difficult with so many yummy things to bake?

Hendrix loves being a big brother so much. He has really enjoyed holding
Eloise lately, and doesn't want to give her up! Luckily he still can't pick her up
by himself or I know we would have some spills off the bed or out of the swing!

Question 2: When and where were you born? Describe your home, your neighborhood, and the town you grew up in.

Dylan: I was born May 21, 1989 in La Grande, Oregon. My "childhood" home is the one my parents currently live in, in Haines, Oregon. We moved here when I was 8. (We lived in Wallowa, OR for a total of 6 years and Puyallup, WA for 1 year before Haines). Haines is a small town, 300 people. We are about 10 minutes outside of Baker City, which is where we go for church and groceries. I went to Haines Elementary, and Baker City for 6 grade on up. Haines is a quiet little town but offered a lot of freedom. I could ride my bike around for hours without my parents having to worry about me.

Heather: I was born on March 21, 1990 in Enumclaw, Washington. My parents lived on the Enumclaw property until late last year (2015) when they sold it and moved to Camano Island and are currently building a house on my sister Lisa's property. The house was a single wide trailer that my parents had put an addition on, and we upgraded to a triple wide manufactured home (on the same property) when I was 8 (right after the youngest, Scott, was born). We lived on 5 acres and it had a TON of trees and I swear I climbed every tree on that property. We lived in the country just out of town and had 3 neighbors that shared part of our driveway but each had their own 5 acre plot. It took us 8 minutes to drive to church. Enumclaw is in the foothills of Mt. Rainier. We enjoyed tons of hiking and camping.

Hendrix + Eloise: Hendrix was born April 7, 2014 and Eloise was born November 6, 2015. Hendrix and Eloise were both born in La Grande, in the hospital there. We lived in our first home on 13th street. It was a 3 bed, 2 bath, ranch style home that we sold a few months after Eloise was born. There was a park just a block down the street that we frequented, and it was just a couple blocks from campus which was really nice for when Dylan and I were going to school.
