Birthday Extravaganza Weekend!!

So, I'm really excited about planning Bens birthday party. I decided that since I have to work on his actual birthday, we are going to celebrate it all weekend long! His birthday falls on a Tuesday, so the Saturday before that we are going to Peter Piper Pizza with both families!! (stowells and ungas) Then Sunday 4th of July we are going to have a cake and BBQ with swimming!! Then, on Monday, Justin and I are taking him to the little water park in Gilbert where we took him last year!! We'll prob end up going to lunch too, YAY!! I'm super excited...pictures to come! See you next time...

Whats New with the Stowells!!

First, let me say its been busy and it's been forever since I've blogged. So here goes..Justin is currently at MCC finishing pre-reqs and hoping to attend Midwestern University to be a pharmacist. He loves being in school and taking care of Ben while I am at work. I currently work for Southwestern Eye Center scheduling for about 10 of our locations, so it keeps me busy. Justin and I both team teach the 6 year old class at church and its quite interesting. The class is 10 girls and 1 boy, but its cute cuz some of the little girlies have a crush on Justin...that funny cuz thats how it started for me! And at that age too!! LOL Anyway, then theres Benjamin. He is going to be 2 in July and boy does he have a personality!! He still loves Elmo and any animal you could possibly think of. He likes the nursery at church, his favorite part about it is snack time (of course) and he loves playing outside, basketball and drumming is his new obsession. He drums on EVERYTHING and sings his made up song "abby-doo." Look for it on the top ten hits of all time.. :) Anyway, this is just a tidbit of what we;ve been up to, I will post pics soon! peace!!!!!!

GYM RAT

To start off, I havent blogged in like a year or more so I know no ones reading this and thats okay. I wish I were a gym rat. But im not, in fact I'm sitting at my desk at work and am tired..plus my stomach hurts. I am hoping to muster up enough energy to go home, make dinner and go to the gym. This will be my first time going to the gym on my own without my husband (sad, i know but we always would work out together) or trainer telling me what to do. I'll be happy once I go and get it done, I just want to be the best I can and I know that involves working out. My nutrition sucks though, I have such bad habits..eating fast food, drinking soda, and chocolate!! (just candy though) Im not to keen on desserts which is a good thing I guess..but I'd take greasy, salty french fries over a hot fudge sundae ANYDAY!! haha Aw well, here's to the gym, wish me luck!

My Loves

To start off, i thought i would name a few of my favorite things in life. Here they are in no particular order:

-my handsome husband

-an adorable son

-a loving and supporting mother

-4 brothers and a father

-growing up as the only girl

-the gospel

-good health

-flowers

-chicken wings

-soda (any kind)

-wearing pajamas

-having long hair

-watching the blue team kick butt on the biggest loser!

There's tons more loves in my life, just wanted to name a few. It doesn't take much to make me happy. It's amazing when you take the time to think of some things you are thankful for (even if some of them are silly) you realize how much you really are blessed!
