It's kind of a BIG DEAL

On one of my recent lists and update I wrote that I needed to get to the gym. WELL TA-DA!! I did it! I  signed up for a gym pass at Gold's Gym!!! HIP HIP! I was able to convince my friend Gracie to join in on the fun and her hubby went and got us a good deal. Basically I paid 48$ to get me in till December 14th (when we move) and I get FREE everything!! Also no cancellation fee. Pretty awesome. 

So our first class was an intro to spin. We were pedaling the whole time so we walked away with jelly legs excited to take a real class. haha Then we went to a Kickboxing class. We weren't too fond of that class. I didn't know they did three week rotations. Where they start a routine and do it for three weeks. Well guess what...we walked into the class on their third week so we looked like complete idiots. HA! We left after about 35 min and went to the treadmills. Not sure if i'll be doing that class again. This week on Monday we went to Power Pump and boy were we DYING! I loved it. Tuesday I was in pain and Wednesday was just awkward. haha sitting down, standing up, picking up babies everything was just painful. Last night we skipped the gym and joined in on a Zumba class a girl in our ward was teaching. That was fun and probably good to help our muscles adjust. Saturday we are headed to our first official SPIN CLASS!!! I can't wait! That's mu update on the gym situation. I'm loving getting out of the house, taking Grayson with to play with other kiddos and enjoying having sore muscles. 
For those of you that know me...this is a HUGE deal. We skyped with my brother on Sunday and he said "Scarlet YOU got a gym pass?!" hahaha He was shocked. I've never been in a gym EVER! I've never even really worked out. I've been running, and done a few things at an apt complex gym but nothing serious. 

Let's just say I'm proud of myself. : ) 

Updates: 

 Payton: She will be 5 MONTHS OLD on the 26th! I can't believe it. She's my baby. She's stinkin tall and has some great chub on her...not a lot but it's there. Just enough for us. haha She's about 15lbs and in the 98th percentile for height. crazy She rolls everywhere and has started pulling her legs up under herself but nothing more. We bought some rice cereal to try out. But we've given it to her maybe twice. haha She's much better at keeping it in her mouth than Grayson was. I'm really just focused on nursing and just that adding some rice cereal in there when I feel interested. haha I've officially kicked her out of our room. Our condo is the same size as our last place but it only has two bedrooms. And since she is still crying at night when she wakes up to eat I didn't want her waking up Gray. So I have her in our kitchen. haha sounds lame but I wanted her out of range from Gray and in a clean area...not the bathroom or laundry room or something. I started on Sunday and she has been doing so well!! Last week she started waking up every two or 3 hours and it was sooo exhausting...Lisa I don't know how you do it! (if you're reading this) So the first night I fed her around 11 and went to bed hoping she wouldn't wake up. SHE DIDN'T WAKE UP UNTIL 4:00!!! HALLELUJAH! Then she was up around 7:30. She's been doing that same thing every night since. She's up around 4 to 4:45 to eat the first time. She loves jumping away in her jumper, sitting in her bumbo watching mommy cook in the kitchen, and watching Grayson do everything. We love her to pieces. 

Grayson: What can I say about Grayson....haha there's too much now that he can do everything. It's so different from having a 5 month old who is slowly figuring out new things. I have been working on shapes with Gray. I point to them and he tells me what it is or I ask him to show me a certain shape. He loves to sing! He makes us laugh everyday. He seriously knows every song that comes on the radio and HE SINGS IT!! it's crazy! He's getting better at trying food. He will sit down for dinner with us and try what we are eating. Pretty much every time he has liked it and every time I'm shocked. He loves eating, pickles, celery, carrots, grapes, cheese. His favorites are grilled cheese sandwiches, and peanut butter honey sandwiches. haha I'm just happy he's trying new things. It's a step. He's in the 90th percentile for height and for his height to weight ratihs he's skinny so we're working on it. I think he's just tall which makes him skinny but we don't want him to be a stick his whole life. He loves his Uncle Yaya and aunt Sass. He also LOVEs going to any sports game we'll let him. haha 

Chris: Well Chris quit his job and has been off for two weeks now. It's been so nice. He can actually get his homework/studying done and have time to be with his family. He's back in the gym!! yay! So proud of him for working hard. We don't hear anything from Dental Schools until December 3rd so no news there. 

Some pictures...but you've probably seen them all from facebook.












7 weeks until our Holiday Vacationing begins!!!
