belly dancing

My neighbor joy posted on facebook that she was interested if someone would go belly dancing at a local dance studio in town to learn belly dancing.... well I was interested just didn't have a sitter, so her husband was nice enough to watch montgomery and their one year old. Joy and I had a blast, its quite the workout, but overall we had fun. Its free for the first two weeks/monday classes and after that its only $7. I think to get out and exercise it's worth the money. Joy also said her hubby will watch montgomery. So I think it's a win/win situation. we learned a little routine :) The only creepy part about it is the mirrors, after just having a baby less than 3 months ago, not impressed with looking at myself in a full length wall to wall mirror for an hour, but hoping that after the class is done, I notice a difference in my body. I am a little sore today, but keep moving and drink lots of h2o...{top picture found on google/but this is pretty much how we look... me and joy minus the cute little skirts/bottom picture taken by joy when we got back to her house.}

nicknames

Montgomery has a few nicknames I'd like to share with you. I call him Montgomery, Mama's Baby, or little man. My mom called him Monties, Claire {this little 2 year old at daycare} calls him Gomery.

He is still called Monty by many even though people also spell it Monte, I try to correct them, but they dont' catch on.. lol He is called LJ by a friend, Long story. Also a good friend calls him MG {for Montgomery Gene}, which I like and call him this also sometimes :)

 ALSO MONTGOMERY is supporting his Uncle and Nana's Team in the Finals... GO MIAMI
GOOD LUCK MIAMI HEAT!

happy father's day

This father's day, is something a little different, instead of spending time with my dad, I let montgomery spend time with his daddy. I got to celebrated with my dad last weekend.



So here's to my dad, Gene in Heaven, My dad, Todd and Montgomery's daddy.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

I'm 31



its amazing how different birthdays can be. Last year I celebrated being 30... this year 31 and a mommy. Montgomery and I went to gun lake for the weekend to visit my parents, spent time on the pontoon. did a little shopping. Had cake and opened gifts. Dad made chicken on the grill, and corn on the cob... I am HAPPY about this up and coming year, so many new things to accomplish.

pontoon

montgomery's first ride on the pontoon at nana & papa's at GUN LAKE on June 9th

PONTOON - LITTLE BIG TOWN

Back this hitch up into the water


Untie all the cables and rope

Step onto the astro turf

Get yourself a coozie

Let's go



Who said anything about skiin'?

Floatin' is all I wanna do

You can climb the ladder

Just don't rock the boat while I barbeque



Chorus:

On the pontoon

Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof

Jumpin' out the back, don't act like you don't want to

Party in slow motion

Out here in the open

Mmmmmmm...motorboatin'



(Who who who)



Reach your hand down into the cooler

Don't drink it if the mountains aren't blue

Try to keep it steady as you recline on your black intertube



Chorus:

Pontoon

Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof

Jumpin' out the back, don't act like you don't want to

Party in slow motion

Out here in the open

Mmmmmm...motorboatin'



Bridge:

5 mile an hour with aluminum side

Wood panelin' with a water slide

Can't beat the heat, so let's take a ride



Chorus:

On the pontoon

Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof

Jumpin' out the back, don't act like you don't want to

Party in slow motion

I'm out here in the open

Mmmmmmm...motorboatin'



On the pontoon



(Who who who)



On the pontoon



(Who who who)



Back this hitch out into the water

On the pontoon



(Who who who)
