Inaugural Lilly Pad Buddy Walk

The 2010 Buddy Walk was held on October 17 at Saluda Shoals park. Yes - that was almost two weeks ago but I have a very good reason for waiting to post about it. I've been eyeing my blogger dashboard for the last 2 months and watching the number of posts climb. I knew the big 200th post was coming up and I kept wanting it to be for something special and not ordinary and definitely not a 10 on Tuesday. So I dragged out all of our Fall activities into individual posts and kept my eye on the number. So this is it - the 200th post on Keeping Up With Joneses - and now, I'm going to turn it over to Katie to tell you about the Buddy Walk.

Hey Guys! It's Katie! I'm going to tell you about the Buddy Walk at Saluda Shoals Park with my family and my cousin Lilly! Hope you enjoy!

This is Lilly. She's the reason we went on a walk together as a family. She's only been around a few months - but she managed to bring our whole family together over something we never knew we'd care about so much. But my family believes in joy and we believe in each other and Lilly reminded us of that when she was born!
This is Lilly's mom, my Aunt Mari. She is the most laid back and easy going mom I have ever seen. She is so much fun to be around and has helped me learn so much about animals. This is also Lilly's award. My mom says she won it because a lot of people gave a lot of money in Lilly's name, but I'm pretty sure it's just because Lilly is awesome. Although that doesn't explain 3rd place - so maybe it was about the money.
I tried to warm up my muscles before the walk by running around and getting loose. Little did I know my mom was going to shove me in a stroller for the walk! Oh well, at least I got some good energy out.

And here's us all walking (although I use that term loosely given my previous statement about strollers). We made posters and carried them around the park. There was a marching band that led us on our walk and it felt like we were in a parade and not just a walk. We were parading around celebrating the lives of all the buddies out there all over the world, but mainly Lilly!

Aunt Mari got some pretty yellow tshirts for everyone to wear. Here's a picture of me and Mommy before the walk sporting our matching shirts. I'm glad the colors for Down Syndrome awareness are yellow and blue because they seemed to look good on everybody!

I know no one likes to have pictures of their backsides taken, but the back of the shirt was too fun not to show you. It was two big footprints made up of lots of little footprints. I like to think all those footprints on the back belong to our family and they symbolize us all walking together with Lilly!

This park has the best covered playground I've ever seen. It was hot outside but that didn't stop me and Cole from getting some quality toddler time on the playground. Here's Cole and his daddy on the monkey bars, using some techniques we picked up at the mud run this year!

Cole let me borrow his daddy so I could do the monkey bars too. My daddy was in Pennsylvania and let's be serious - my mom doesn't win awards for her height! So Uncle Marshall helped me get across and back across twice!

At the end of the day, all of Lilly's walkers gathered together for a group picture. It was hard to get us all in one shot because there were so many of us. There were friends and family and our commonality was that we were all there to support Lilly! It was so much fun to be together and I love being a part of a family that loves and plays and prays and walks better than any other!

10 DIYs on Tuesday

I have a lot of crafty friends and family who design stationery, paint canvases, take fanstastic pictures, embroider anything, decorate cakes and the list goes on. But craftiness does not run thick in my blood. However, I have dabbled in the occasional DIY project around the house. Today's list is 10 things I've made...

1. In 4th grade, my grandmother and I took a sewing class in 5 Points. I made a skirt for myself and wore it all the time. I was so proud! I don't know where it is - but I'm sure it hasn't left my parents house. I want to go find it and put it on Katie one day.

2. In 7th grade, my cousin Zach was born and I made him a stuffed animal in my home/ec class at school. I picked out blue puppy dog pattern and it was seriously intense. I had to get lots of help from my grandmother.

3. For my parent's 20th wedding anniversary, my grandmother (notice a pattern???) and I made a quilt for them. We picked out lots of fun fabrics and she let me cut the squares and help with the sewing. I wasn't a very straight cutter so the quilt is not really perfect but the time spent making it with her sure was!

4. I made this name sign for Katie before she was born. Lindsay and I had a crafting afternoon at my house to make something for each of our babies. All it entailed was paint and hot glue, but I sure felt accomplished after finishing it. It hung over her closet at the old house and is now IN her closet here. It needs to get hung up again!

 

5. A few weeks ago, when Grandma Baggerly was here, I made churros - a spanish cinnamon pastry. It was my first time using pastry sheets and they were simple and easy and best of all, delicious!

6. OK, I don't really think "I" made this one, but I feel like I helped somehow and it totally bears mentioning! When I was a little girl and taking gymnastics, my dad built me a BALANCE BEAM! It was in our backyard and I got to practice on it all the time and make up routines. I think I remember helping hold the dark red carpet to it while my dad staplegun'ed it on. I passed it on to my neighbor when I grew out of it, but I will always love that thing!

7/8. Several years ago, I started learning to knit and found it so relaxing. I started out by making scarves and gave a few to friends one year for Christmas. I loved trying to pick out skeins of yarn that would match people's personalities! I also learned to knit purses and then turn them into felt purses. I had to knit "in the round" in order to make the purses and was able to knit patterns (mainly stripes) in the purses. I probably would've stuck with it and maybe even tried to sell them, but they took forever! One purse would take up to 10 hours to knit. It just wasn't worth it to me.

9. One more thing I made with my grandmother. One year for Christmas, we made stockings for every single person in the family. We must've made 17 stockings. We had all different kinds of red and green fabrics and then added lace, rick rack, bells, etc to each of the stockings making them unique for each person. Then we got to go shopping to fill them with all sorts of fun stocking stuffers!

10. Most recently, I made this wreath! I absolutely don't claim credit for it. I saw it on my friend Megan's blog. It sounded so easy so I ran to the dollar store to get the necessary materials. It turned out to really be very easy and now I have it on the front door. It's made of coffee filters! Can you believe it? Don't be surprised if you get one of these for Christmas from me!

 

What's your best crafty accomplishment?

Windy Mill Orchard

My dad and I took Katie to the Windy Mill Orchard in York, SC last Saturday for their 17th annual Apple Festival. The directions said to look for a windmill to know you're in the right place. I never saw the windmill, but I'm thinking maybe they meant PISTOL!

Our first stop when we got there was to a cider stand. We bought Katie some fresh pressed cider but she was pretty confused on how to drink out of an apple!

She squeezed a fair amount of it on herself and never really figured out how to keep the green cap from out of her face, but she loved the cider! We refilled it twice while we were there!

Next stop was the outdoor amphitheater where the seats were made of bales of hay and plywood boards. We waited patiently for Johnny Appleseed to come press some more cider.

Johnny Appleseed wore a skunk-skinned hat and overalls and taught us all about the health benefits apples, one of which is that eating an apple is better than brushing your teeth! Here's Katie clapping because she thinks she never has to brush again!

Next stop was bagging apples. The orchard had already been picked and there were bushels and bushels of apples to pick through. We picked a 1/4 peck each and even through a few to some pigs!


Last stop before we left was to feed some goats. We were given "goat feed" in an ice cream cone to pass through the fence. However, the fence was surrounded by the line for the hayride so I can imagine these goats had been fed pretty well for the previous few hours so none of them came close enough. But we just threw our food inside the fence and hoped they would have it for a late afternoon snack.

Our walk back to the car took us right through the orchard and my dad was convinced there were still some apples that were ripe for the picking. He and Katie sludged through the field to pick a few.

Then Katie wanted to pick every single one that she saw still hanging on a branch so the walk back to the car took a solid 30 minutes as she picked apples and threw them on the ground.


OK, seriously - how much FALL can one family take??? We are loving it and gearing up for nephews birthday season, Halloween, and a Chili Cookoff for which I still need a recipe!

Country Adventures

Last week, Katie's school group took a field trip to Country Adventures in Blythewood. We were able to bring friends and family so Cole and Lindsay came along with us.

This place has lots of animals to look at and some that are out in the open to pet! The first animals we saw were some pot-bellied pigs which was probably incredibly confusing to the kids because they were black and not pink. I'm sure they thought we didn't know what we were talking about! Katie rolled her eyes when I said they were pigs and thought, "Yeah right mom - pigs are pink."

There was a donkey that Cole absolutely loved. There were brushes for the donkey and he groomed it perfectly. Katie was trying to muster up the nerve to go and brush the donkey and just when she got about 6 inches away, he brayed and scared her off.

We missed the first round of hayrides so we got some extra time to explore the place. We walked through a few barns and saw goats and sheep and a horse. There was a bunny that all the kids got to pet. They had fun playing on this covered wagon but refused to pose for a picture - so this is the best I got!

While we were waiting, the girls spied over the fence at the pumpkin patch trying to eye which one they would pick to take home! Finally, the tractor came back for us and took us around the farm over to the pumpkin patch. All the kids picked through several different pumpkins before they settled on the perfect one.

After they found the one they wanted to keep, they took turns sitting in another big wagon and posing with their prize pumpkin!

The hayride then took us further around the farm and we enjoyed looking at the pond and other animals. After the hayride finished, we played on the farm a little more, climbing fences, petting more animals, and just being cousins!



This may look like a wrestling move, but it's actually a hug! Granted, it resulted in both of them falling down and at least one of them crying (Katie's a wimp sometimes) - but it started as a hug!

10 Songs on Tuesday

Man, Tuesday seems to have come around quickly this week! But I'm having fun making the random lists so here goes another one. Yesterday, I was in my car at lunch and I heard a song on the radio - a song that when I hear it, such a vivid memory comes to mind of having heard it before. So, then I started thinking about other songs that do that to me and before I knew it, I had my list of 10!

Most of these aren't my favorite songs - they are just songs that, as Brad Paisley says, take me back.

1. Don't Take the Girl/Tim McGraw - this is the one I heard yesterday. When I hear it, I go back to my grandmother's kitchen with my childhood best friend, Emily. I can so vividly remember sitting there one Wednesday before church and Emily was telling my mom and me about this song (we had not yet heard it). She recited it in such a storybook manner that I really saw what was happening in the song. We had to have been in middle school.

2. Baby Got Back/Sir Mixalot - I go back to my locker in the hallway at Dent Middle School. I remember standing there trying to open my locker (which I always had trouble with) and just singing this song. I was in 6th grade. I shudder to think about the fact that I had this song memorized. I don't think I really knew what I was singing.

3. Drift Away/Uncle Kracker - I go back to my Mazda Navajo sitting in the driveway at Doug's parent's house. We were on what had to be our 7000th date and he hadn't yet kissed me. We sat in the car talking forever that night - so long that this song came on twice! Eventually, I got a kiss!

4. Run Around/Blues Traveler - I go back to my first night "going out" in high school. It was the night I turned 15 and I went out with some girl friends. One girl was a junior so she could drive at night - the rest of us were sophomores. This song came on the radio and I remember all 4 of us singing it at the top of our lungs!

5. Roll With it Baby/Steve Winwood - I go back to a water slide at North Myrtle Beach. Back in the day, it cost $3 to spend the whole day there so my brother and I went there at least one day while we were on vacation each year. I remember this song coming on and singing it - but I apparently had the words wrong. I actually thought it was a commercial for a local car dealership called Bob Bennett Ford. I thought the song said Bob Bennett Baby. But my brother quickly corrected me by pointing out that it would be stupid for a Columbia car dealership to have an ad on at the beach. (I still don't really even know what song it truly was.)

6. It Won't Be Like This for Long/Darius Rucker - I go back to Thanksgiving Day in 2008 very early in the morning feeding Katie. She was less than 2 weeks old and I was having a really hard time adjusting. I was upstairs in the bonus room by myself feeding her and watching the Macy's Parade. Darius Rucker was on a float singing this song and it felt like he was singing right to me. I cried my eyes out knowing that even though he was singing to cherish these moments, etc because time goes so fast, I felt comforted by the fact that my feelings of sadness/post partum wouldn't last for long either.

7. Trading My Sorrows/Darrel Evans - I go back to the old sanctuary at Shandon on the Sunday after 9/11. No one knew how to go about worship during a time of shock and despair. However, it turned into one of the single most profound worship experiences I have ever had. We sang this song and it talked about being "struck down, but not destroyed." It had such power that morning to remind us that God was there through this trial for our country and his joy needed to be our strength at the moment.

8. I Wanna Dance With Somebody/Whitney Houston - I go back to a family reunion with the Higgins side of my family. We always had talent shows at these reunions and somehow I thought that lip singing this song was just enough talent to enter the show. I practiced and practiced and even choreographed some dance moves. I got my hair french braided for the performance (a big deal) and rocked it out. I think I sort of forgot to lip sing it - I ended up belting it out and that DEFINITELY was not talent as I am one of the worst singers ever.

9. What a Girl Wants/Christina Aguilera - I go back to my Mazda Navajo again on my way home from a coaches meeting for a soccer team I was coaching. It was also the day after Valentine's Day and I had just been broken up with. I was heading to my apartment and listening to the "High 5 at 10" on WNOK. This song was #1 that night and my roommate and I loved the song! I was pulling into my parking space, ready to run upstairs and turn the song on in the apartment so we could sing and enjoy my new singleness. As I was heading to our building, I got mugged and assaulted in the parking lot and never got to hear the end of the song.

10. Fast Car/Tracy Chapman - I go back to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. It was my senior year of college and I got to visit Australia to see family as an early graduation present from my parents. I went to the beach just about every day for the month I was there. I had an MP3 player that held a whopping 16 songs! This song was one of them and I remember having it stuck on repeat for over an hour one day. I listened to it over and over and soaked up the rays on the most beautiful beach I've ever seen!

Fair Fun!

We went to opening day at the fair last week with some friends. It was also $1 entry day, so it was crowded! But the weather was really nice and most of the crowds were at the bigger rides, so it wasn't bad at all.

FOOD - The food at the fair is the worst and the best all rolled into one expensive, calorie laden adventure. We started out with a corn dog and Fiske fries and some fried okra. Then after those settled, we had some of the mini donuts that come in a bag of 28 for $5. That sounds like a lot - but for 6 adults and 3 kids, I could've used another bag. But I restrained myself and made do with one bag for all of us. Katie and her sweet tooth loved them!

 

ANIMALS - These are always a hit at the fair with kids. I'm not a fan of the germs or the smell - but that's what hand sanitizer is for, right? There were ducks, donkeys, zebras, llamas, parrots, goats, and sheep at the petting zoo. We also saw cows, rabbits, and chickens in the livestock area. Katie wasn't thrilled with the cows since they weren't behind fences or gates. Too close for her comfort!

 

IN THE AIR - The view from a stroller must get really old to a toddler - seeing all those legs and nothing else! So Katie got a little bit of sky time to really check out the place! She seemed entranced by the lights and the music, and of course, the people watching!

 

RIDES - We prepurchased some ride tickets but lots of the kiddie rides weren't working and the ones that were working had height requirements that Katie didn't meet or Doug and I exceeded. So we were left with the carousel. Which she has ridden plenty of times before - but this time was terrified of riding on the animals. So each time she rode it, she sat in one of the sleighs with me or Doug. Lots of the pictures from the carousel were blurry and after talking with Lindsay - I think it's because it was the fastest carousel ever...No wonder I was dizzy for 3 days after!

 

Pumpkin Patch

The Pumpkin Patch at Northeast United Methodist Church is where Katie took her REAL first steps last year. She had taken a few wobbly ones here and there, but under the awning at the pumpkin patch, she just took off! And we actually got it on tape too! So this place holds a very special place in my heart. It was fun thinking back to last year and her wobbling around the place and now this year going crazy running all over.

This picture makes me want to make time stand still. Seeing my almost 2 year old next to the "Wee Be Little" sign - breaks my heart thinking how time has flown by and makes me glad to soak up all that we can!

 

We went to the patch with Grandma Jones, Nana Baggerly and daddy! The weather was perfect for being outdoors. The pumpkins were so varied - some white, some lumpy, some short, some fat. Katie loves to talk about big and little things so after the Wee Be Littles, she tried her hand at this BIIIIG pumpkin but didn't have much luck!

 

This pumpkin patch has more than just pumpkins! They have several photo opp spots set up, wagons to pull your pumpkins, and a playground once you've been pumpkin-ed out! Katie enjoyed playing peekaboo behind this scarecrow with Nana Baggerly!

 

After failing to snag the big pumpkin and running around the playground for a while, we settled on finding some little pumpkins to share with our friends and even got some stickers to make silly faces on the pumpkins.

 

23 and holding...

Can I really be typing out a 23 month post? All cliches aside, but where has the time gone? I don't even want to think about doing the two year post in a month! So we're just going to hold right here at 23 for a while, ok?

Katie seems to change so much these days - she has developed really good fine motor skills. This is one of her favorite toys - it has 6 doors with different locks on them and she has to open them and then locks them back. She's even tried a few of them with her feet. Aside from that, she loves to color and she loves to peel stickers and put them on anything and everything.

She is generally a happy child at home. Out in public, she is easily startled by other people or new things, but she warms up eventually. She loves the backyard, and thinks this nasty, old, orange chair is her own personal chaise lounge. She lounges in it with the biggest grin on her face while we play with her toys.

She seems to learn new words every day and lots of times they are words that I know we didn't teach her. After her flu shot, we took her to a park to enjoy the outdoors and a picnic and she kept picking up pinecones and saying "pinecone." It didn't sound perfect, but she was clearly saying PINECONE. She is doing better at attempting to say things when I prompt her - she will repeat lots of people's names back to me. She recognizes all of her cousins by their pictures on our fridge. She says Gabe & Nancy to the computer since we have skyped with them before. We still don't have any two word combos other than NO MOMMY, but she's communicating with us much better.

We're digging into fall/winter clothes and most of her 18 month stuff still fits her from last year but is kind of short. Most 24 month things are way too big so we are sort of at an in between stage. Thankfully it's not cold enough for pants all the time and we make-do with dresses since they definitely still fit. Shoes are size 7 for now - but we've been there for a while so I'm wondering if a growth spurt is in her future. Still no sign of 2 year molars - fine by me. Her hair is pretty long, but the sides are so much shorter than the back that we can't quite make a ponytail yet.

Katie has an obsession with band aids. She still has a scar on her chin from when she busted it on our hardwoods a few months ago. If we let her, she will put a bandaid on it every day. The other morning, I hit my hand on something and she promptly went to get me a Dora bandaid and opened it and put it on my hand.

She's very sweet when she wants to be. She can be extremely gentle and loving to animals, friends, cousins, parents. But then something snaps - and she can go beserk and becomes rough with everyone and everything. So discipline has become a big focus at our house but it just never feels right. I'm sure there is a method out there that is perfect for her temperament, but we haven't found it yet.

I love my little family of three. We love to hang out on our bed with Katie first thing in the morning and late at night. She loves to watch stuff with daddy on his BIIIG tv (she just calls it BIIIG - no TV, just BIIIG). She loves to "help" me do laundry. She loves to shop, just like her mommy! She loves to tinker with tools, just like her daddy! Happy 23 months Katie!

Blue-32-10 on Tuesday

This week's list is going to be dedicated to 10 memorable sports moments in my life - and 2 of them happen to have happened in the last few days!

My family was a soccer family - my dad, cousins, uncles - everyone played soccer. My mom was a soccer mom and she rocked at it! I loved lots of sports growing up - and tried to make a competition out of anything. I cheered and my brother played football in high school. I did gymnastics as a kid. My parents bought me a tennis racquet one year for Christmas that went missing when I took it to school. We watched all sorts of sports together as a family - including fake sports like wrestling. Athletic events or competitions or sports - whatever you want to call it - it's been a big part of my life (although you wouldn't know it if you looked at the shape I'm in). So without further ado - here are 10 memorable sports moments in my life - in no particular order.

1. OK - so I said no particular order, but let's get the obvious 800 pound gorilla out of the room. Gamecock football. I went to Carolina and suffered through two football seasons that amounted to a record of 1-21. Then we got a little bit good - good enough for Outback bowl wins and lucky enough to attract headliner coaches such as Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier. But each year, we fall short of a dream season. But the tide (pun intended) may be turning for USC. We had a major victory on Saturday as we beat top ranked Alabama and snapped their 19 game winning streak. This doesn't mean we are going to have a dream season - in fact, I have every confidence we will tank our season on a lowsy opponent in the near future - but Saturday was awesome. It felt good to be a Gamecock!

2. One afternoon when we were kids, my brother was playing basketball in the front yard with some neighborhood kids. My grandparents were over visiting with us too. My grandfather, PawPaw, went out in the yard and asked if he could hold the ball - and they all laughed and then obliged and gave him the ball. Then he went to the middle of the yard and turned away from the goal and tossed the ball backwards over his head and it SWOOSHED! Nothing but net. The kids were in awe and we were proud he was our grandpa!

3. Staying with basketball - Doug and I got to go a Spurs game in San Antonio in 2003. I bought him tickets to the game where they were going to retire David Robinson's jersey. David Robinson was an icon to Doug and it was so much fun getting to go to the game, see the team presented with their NBA champions rings from the previous season and then see them retire the jersey of one of the best guys all around to ever play the game.

4. Last night - Women's Rec Soccer - Indoors at the Plex. I played indoor soccer a few years ago for several seasons before I had Katie. I hadn't played since then and this season has been an eye opener to my own physical ability, or lack thereof. My team has had fun, but we have lost every game. (One game we lost 21-0.) But last night, we were the #10 team playing the #9 team (10 teams in the league) and this was our best shot of winning a game this season. They only had 4 players and we had 7. You can only have 6 on the field at a time including the goalie - but we went ahead and played down 2 people to even it up a bit. So we played 4v4 - and we WON! We won 16-6 and I scored 3 times. A hat trick! I've never scored three goals before in a game so it was a personal victory too! Go Night Sweats!

5. In 1996, our church youth group went to Atlanta to do some missions work at the Olympics. We didn't actually go to any events, but we got to see so many of the facilties and be surrounded by all the hoopla going on with something of that magnatude. We were in Atlanta at the time of the bombing in Centennial Park and I just remember the youth workers trying to get in touch with people back in Columbia to let them know we were ok. It was a crazy time and much of our trip was changed due to the bombing but it was still incredible to be around at the Olympics!

6. One summer in college I got to go to an MLB game in St. Louis. This was my first professional sporting event ever. I was really excited but the excitement faded a bit because I lost a farkle/bet and had to wear a batman mask for the duration of the game and had to pretend as if I were a vendor selling these masks. I took on the task and probably could've made some good money if I had actually had any masks to sell - you wouldn't believe how many people wanted to buy one.

7. I'm injury prone - but my first real, surgery requiring injury, came in 1997 while playing soccer for my high school. I was running alongside a girl for the other team and we both reached to kick the ball at the same time. Somehow, she stepped on my instep and my momentum kept me running but I couldn't really go anywhere. I fell to the ground in pain that I knew wasn't going away. I remember grabbing grass in my hands to somehow pull myself off the field. My dad drove our Trooper on the track and then we headed to the hospital. Sure enough, my ACL was torn along with some meniscus and my PCL - it's referred to as the Unhappy Triad in the Orthopedics world since it's the tearing of 3 things. I had surgery and rehabbed my knee for close to a year. I got back out on the field playing soccer again the next season only to tear my ACL in the other leg. And then the next year, I tore my meniscus again. To me, that's more deserving of the term Unhappy Triad.

8. I talked about it recently in another post - but watching Doug bowl 8 strikes in a row was one of the best things ever. To a non-bowler (me), that was pretty darn close to a perfect game and way more points than I will ever get bowling. He was so non-chalant and calm and collected, but alas there was one pin left standing after he bowled the 9th frame and the dream of a perfect game was over. But with his average at well over 200 these days, and frequently bowling 700 series in a night, I don't think a perfect 300 is too far in the future for him. I just hope I am there to see it!

9. I coached a little girls soccer team when I was in college. There were 8 and 9 year olds. They were undeniably cute and incredibly eager to learn soccer. I had a blast doing drills with them each week at practice and then buying ribbons for their hair for the games on Saturday. They learned some soccer skills and some fashion skills too - quite a combination! I can't wait to one day coach Katie in soccer.

10. Speaking of Katie, would you believe she's already completed a 10K? Ok, not really - but I was definitely pregnant with her when I did my first and only 10K back in 2008. I completed the Cooper River Bridge Run with Shelley and Jessica. I was 9 weeks pregnant and had 3 granola bars while walking to the starting line to keep from throwing up. The race went pretty well - we all finished in right at an hour - but most importantly - I finished with some awesome friends who never let me quit going over that bridge.

So sports fans, what are your most memorable???

Body by Katie

To get a proper workout - you must begin by stretching. Reach for your feet and grab your toes.

Get a kickball. One that is light so that when you kick it, it goes really far and you look like a soccer superstar. Plus, the farther it goes, the farther you chase it again, thus expending more energy and calories!
Abs! Who doesn't have problems with their stomach?! If you're dreaming of a washboard or have excess flab to lose - try hanging by your feet and doing sit ups.
Run! Run! Run! Run in circles, run in straight lines, run until your feet are super dirty and you can't stand up straight anymore.
Do all of this and you're bound to have super duper muscles just like me!? And when you get those muscles, don't be afraid to flex and show them off!
