dog days

What a gorgeous weekend! This weather is absolutely fantastic. The past week in the mid 80s? I don't mind at all! I have actually laid out in the sun 3 times...which has done wonders for my desparate need for a little color :).

Our weekend started out with Saturday Extravaganza. My friend Amber and I go to Kiwi Fitness and do the 3 classes (BodyCombat/BodyStep, BodyPump, and BodyFlow) while the boys go play racquetball. We all meet up for a mexican lunch afterwards. We actually got to sit outside on the patio this weekend! The sun shining on my yummy taco salad was heaven. Afterwards, they both came over to the house and we spent some quality time with the sunshine and the hot tub. So fun! Later that evening, we went up to Lafayette to see our mom's and to have dinner with our friends Lauren and J Dan. We ended up going back to their house after and had a couple drinks on the patio. Well, the girls did. J Dan watched basketball while Matt was passed out on the couch. Sleepy boy. His crazy schedule finally got to him :).

On Sunday we grabbed breakfast with my mom and nephew and then headed back to Indy. After a traffic jam and detour,we got home 2 hours later. Matt took a nap since he had to go in to work that night and I took Jax and went over to Amber's. We have been wanting to get our doggies together for awhile now to see how they interact with each other. She has two big, cute, lovable labs. We all went on a walk and the dogs did fantastic! Amber's black lab, Tonka completely disregarded that Jax was even on the walk. He kept stepping on him and running into him. Poor guy :). We went back to the house and I grabbed my camera to get some good pictures of her dogs!

Be prepared for lots of dog pictures...

Les Mills Quarterly

This weekend Matt and I and a bunch of other really awesome people traveled to Chicago, IL for the Les Mills Quarterly! A Quarterly is an event hosted 4 times a year (get it? quarterly?) that puts all of the Les Mills group fitness classes together all in one day. It started at 8 am with BodyPump and then went straight to 5:30 pm with classes back-to-back (yes we had a lunch break). It's also an up-skilling event for all instructors and also open to non-instructors. The classes are presented by the national trainers and presenters of the specific classes. It is really awesome because these people are the ones who are the presenters on our DVD's that we learn the new releases off of. The coolest part? One of those national presenters who was up on the big stage on Saturday was our very own Laura Wilson. She is the owner, an instructor, and our leader at Kiwi Fitness!

I talked my friend Amber into going with us after she joined us at Kiwi for our launch back in January. Our launch was basically a mini Quarterly. She loves Les Mills classes too and I knew she would love this event. I am SO glad she experienced with us :). Matt also came along. I was so happy to have him there. He is such a supportive husband and having him there by my side was so awesome. He did a lot of the classes and even tried a class I never thought I'd see him do..BodyStep! It is basically a step-aerobics class-but more hardcore because it's a Les Mills class :). He actually wasn't too bad! One of the other girls there got a nice video of him. He is such a trooper. There were 20-some of us there on Saturday representing Kiwi Fitness. The whole event was amazing and I will never forget it! Can't wait until the next Q!
