Savers and Turbo Jam

Last night Michelle and I went around to Goodwill and Savers hoping to find treasures for our homes. Michelle's keen eye spotted this changing table at Saver's for only $25. With some paint I think it will look very cute in the baby's room.
We thought we could fit it in Michelle's car, but when we attempted to do so we were sadly dissapointed. Luckily, a strange but good samaritan helped us disassemble it and load it in the trunk. Now we just need a crib and a dresser for our little guy and we will be all set!



This past Friday night my sisters and I hung out together because our husbands all went camping. They decided to exercise, I decided to sit and relax on the couch. They will probably hate me for posting this, but what a funny picture. They were really into it. My sister swears by these videos called "Turbo Jam." She has lost a lot of weight using them.

Ok, I totally love the work out night idea. Too cute!

I looked at my calendar and realized I missed my appointment with your sister the other day.

Now that she's all buff, she'll have to kick my butt for forgetting.

You should check out this baby sale, this is where we got a lot of the stuff for our kids. A lot of the moms that sell here are scottsdale and pv moms. I always find a lot of really cute stuff for very few $$$. Some of the items are brand new, with the original price tags on them. They have everything that you would need for a baby plus a lot more, clothes, toys, furniture, sometimes people even sell formula, diapers or baby food that their kids grew out of before they could use it.

dang! Becca looks GOOD! i love how you did not post a single picture of yourself on this post. We all know how you LOVE pictures right now. Well I have a story for you. This morning I was awaken by the phone. In my attempt to get up and get it ( I was still a little grogy) I tripped, Hit the door and fell in this metal crate with easels in it. I laid on the ground for a good 7 minutes and I got up and I have major scrapes and bruises all on the right side of my body. Way to go Selena. Anyways, we need to talk. It's been to long. i love yoU!
