Wine, Women and Baseball

Tuesday night was Wine, Women and Baseball. It's always a fantastic time!! This year it was a the Epic Entertainment Center; this year they had face painting and you could get your hair done. They still had the manicure stations and of course a ton of vendors there with their stuff.





Getting our nails done. The Empire Beauty school has a bunch of their students come out and do nails. It's fun and they get some good experience...after all they're doing nails for 2 hours straight...over and over again. The girls are always really great though.


The whole group. This year Tracie and Pam came as well and I hope they had a blast! Not sure what this says about us, but the last two years we've been the last people to leave the event before the game.


OK this picture is cool. Jason Kubel is one of my favorite Twins players and a lot of people know this. I had posted on Facebook that morning that we were going to Wine, Women and Baseball that night and a co-worker of mine commented saying, "Tell your number #16 to quite hitting into double plays" (Kubel's #16). Of course I told him to back-off and leave Kubel alone. Well at WWB they always have some of the Twins wives come out and give away prizes...and Kubel's wife just happened to be one of the wives there that night and my cousin Tracie just happened to pick our seats right next to where they were giving away prizes. So this is me and Jason Kubel's wife!

I ran up to her and asked her for her picture and at first she looked at me like I was a crazy person...which as we know I am...but then I said, "Kubel's my favorite" and then she was more than happy to take a picture with me. After they gave away the prizes and answered a bunch of questions she came over to us and talked to us for like 20 min. I told her what my co-worker said and that I defended him. I also told her about how Logan and I always go "Kubie-Doobie-Do" when Kubel gets up. She thought that was great. She was really cool to talk to!!

This year at Spring Training Kim and Sherri bought me this shirt...and they liked it so much they got themselves one as well. I swear though we did not call each other and tell each other to wear this shirt. Kim picked me up in the morning wearing this shirt and I had already packed it in my work bag to change into afterward. When Kim picked me up after work she told me that Sherri e-mailed her that day and said she was excited to wear the shirt from spring training. It was pretty funny and kinda cool. :-)

P90X: Bring It...Brought It...Done!

I know I know, most of you are probably sick of me talking about P90X, but it's a difficult program for 90 days and I'm extremely proud of completing it. Sunday Sherri and I did final testing and took our after shots, so I promise this is the last time I'll talk about it on the blog/facebook.

The before and after shots.

Sherri looked FANTASTIC before we even started! Most people would kill for her before body! But she worked hard and pushed herself every day to get better! Great work Sherri and thank you for motivating me to keep going! I couldn't have done it without you!




Here's my shots. No I am not "pushing out" in the side shot...that was my little Cody Mouse belly...which I'm glad to say is now gone and all I'm left with is the cutest little boy!!




The stats:


Yes Sherri did gain weight during this. Muscle weights more than fat!
Yes we did count halfs for pull-ups...have you tried one...they're the hardest things on Earth to do...my 2 1/2 about killed me...
Toe Touch is a flexibility thing...which I suck at so getting to +5 was almost my biggest accomplishment for the training...well besides my 2 1/2 pull-ups.
In & Outs are ab strength...as you can see before I started I had NO ab muscles...I did just have a baby 3 months ago though so I didn't really expect too much.

It feels so good to say that we've done this! Thanks again Sherri for helping me kick Tony Horton's ass! :-)

Ok, now I won't talk about it any more....

Bring It!

Sherri and I are halfway through the P90X workout program. It's a pretty intense 90 day workout program that is VERY time consuming. We will admit that we've veered from the program a little bit, we don't do the diet plan, nor the 90 min yoga workout nor do we do the Kempo workout which is all punching and kicking...we tried it once and looked like total and complete fools and decided we'd much rather just run on those days. It's at least an hour workout most days, so while we workout Logan and Cody get to play in the basement. Logan loves it, he gets to sit on the pool table and put the balls in the holes and get into all kinds of things. Now after Christmas he's got even more toys to play with downstairs which should help keep him occupied while we workout. Every once in a while he'll stop playing and watch what Sherri and I are doing. It's pretty funny watching him try to do our exercises with us. There's a short video of him doing the ab routine with us. It's really funny when he tries to do the Plyometrics with us and just jumps around on the mat.



Here's a few shots of Sherri and I goofing around.



We're half way Sherri...Tony Horton is the devil some days...but we'll keep bringing it until we're done with this hellish program!
