The biggest loser!

Okay, I have a rant coming...so bear with me! I have been loving this show for a few seasons now...I admit I get really excited on tuesday nights to watch people work hard and to see the results of the eliminated players today...it inspires me to get off my behind, and exercise and when I don't feel like it, I think about these guys and tell myself how much better I will feel afterwards and I always do! This season started out like all others, there were people that I wanted to cheer for, and people who started to annoy me right off the bat (ie. Ed and Heba).

I just watched Tuesday nights episode last night...and I have to say, that I am really frustrated with quite a few of the people on this season. My biggest annoyance would be coming from Vicki...Brady doesn't annoy me nearly as much as Vicki, now I realize that the show has been painting her as the villain the last few episodes, and so continually I have been giving her the benefit of the doubt...plus I always want to root for couples who have children, (and in their case, an extremly overwheight child). I want them to become healthy, happy, people who can teach their children the benefits of healthy living and exercise.

Last night all I wanted to do was scream at the tv, and send them packing...Heba too. I don't know that I have ever watched a season, where the money, became more important than the actual benefits of health...hmmmmmmmm. I know that there were annoying people last season, (Jay/Mark....mostly because they were so competitive, and they cried like little girls all of the time...could not take the crying much more). They didn't make me sad though, and they worked their booty's off in the gym to, at least they worked hard. What is with throwing every challenge too? They didn't think that winning videos from (videos of their children) home was worth the challenge and really it wasn't really that tough of a challenge either. They didn't think that was important...or motivating to see their kids and remind them why they should be here in the first place! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I need to see them go soon...Heba too, they are driving me nuts, and by the time I went to bed I was still annoyed, and yet here I am this morning still annoyed, hopefully this little rant will let me get over it, and get on with life...really it's just tv.

Thanks for listening.

Lagoon

So saturday we had a family fun day at Lagoon...now just to clarify, I haven't loved Lagoon in my adult years thus far, purely based on the fact that I don't enjoy mullet-like dudes that make-out with their scantily clad ladies in kiddie-land, and let's face it, that is where we spend most of our time at Lagoon. I have to say this time was different we had a blast, the kids had fun, Dan and I had fun, and nobody completely grossed me out, win win situation.

Here are some pic's from the blessed event, Rachel got to ride all of the big rides twice, once with Dan and once with me...Landon had a great time though, rode every kid ride (with the exception of egg dropper and puff) and I now blame his cold on the experience!

You have to remember that Rachel is off riding all of the big rides...so there aren't as many pictures of her, and come on the it was Landon's first Lagoon...and he is just so dang cute!

So if you haven't been to Lagoon yet this year, I encourage an outing it was a grand ol'time!
