Here is Ben's <strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">water wall</span></strong> . Thank you for the idea "frugal fun for boys". It was too hard for us to nail the bottles on after our layout-so luckily Rhet got home early before our interest dropped. Unfortunately, it was right when I was holding his new nail gun and air compressor. Uh oh. Who was I to know that you don't use a nail gun for this kind of project? <br />

Good job, Ben! Colby absolutely loves it! Now for Ben...lets just hope he enjoyed <em>making</em> the wall because apparently the water hose to fill up the bucket is always more entertaining:)Jessica Parnell Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14943044065943336329noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205502386985577120.post-72584975944436822172012-04-15T22:10:00.003-04:002012-04-15T22:38:04.193-04:00Chatanooga Aquarium<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVflNP702A_HuVq15DraPMlsygMubBi6JZqjY0JtsegmZB8govtPWPEa_NIRbgdiOORHTfkdtzmDjQSks5ICqPa_QlQPf8i5p4UUYVASZy_8RafpZ1DRppFxSgJgCkwDjIog1glMjqSDE/s1600/110.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731821459915303218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVflNP702A_HuVq15DraPMlsygMubBi6JZqjY0JtsegmZB8govtPWPEa_NIRbgdiOORHTfkdtzmDjQSks5ICqPa_QlQPf8i5p4UUYVASZy_8RafpZ1DRppFxSgJgCkwDjIog1glMjqSDE/s320/110.JPG" /></a>You better believe that the best part of the aquarium was passing by Baskin Robin's on the way to the car and realizing it was FREE ice cream day!!!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ4a3FSShs_jofncJat0TyqsA4rJtEeOCMfXfyI_itrtcLqcywhIDV6Ds2s8lU5Cm09T58DzfAWWPRv2b-Y6Dx_2_T3TeToeDIe0oItPU9hhZLX2Ur3Bdx0_K5k4C7SucOCHPGd96ZtGI/s1600/090.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731821448292445122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ4a3FSShs_jofncJat0TyqsA4rJtEeOCMfXfyI_itrtcLqcywhIDV6Ds2s8lU5Cm09T58DzfAWWPRv2b-Y6Dx_2_T3TeToeDIe0oItPU9hhZLX2Ur3Bdx0_K5k4C7SucOCHPGd96ZtGI/s320/090.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH8F_cB1xLuQ-KF6LEv9hZqYoSYsKtt9nHXi42fJ59KHajkiL1BFin8vEjvr8kufvUZtEZ-yn0hlGtnkQ3TilDiq_vtAAMQX0SUvaaYsmN5wqbe-Z1zUBJPY2rhzIHBlfCQ8TIRy-25wg/s1600/107.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731821438869604738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH8F_cB1xLuQ-KF6LEv9hZqYoSYsKtt9nHXi42fJ59KHajkiL1BFin8vEjvr8kufvUZtEZ-yn0hlGtnkQ3TilDiq_vtAAMQX0SUvaaYsmN5wqbe-Z1zUBJPY2rhzIHBlfCQ8TIRy-25wg/s320/107.JPG" /></a>Don't worry, Colby.

I'm sure that any day they are going to fix the mis-calibration of the scale.<br /><br />#2 <strong>The members are thoughtful</strong>. For every Nautilus machine I use, the previous member graciously moves the pin down to a weight that matches my increased strength ability. I don't have the heart to tell them that they are slightly over estimating.<br /><br />#3 <strong>The lay-out is convenient.</strong> If I need a quick break, I can sit in the bikes that are positioned right in front of the TV's. Great way to keep up with concise, important current events.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Totally off topic, but did you know how funny Kelly Ripa and Ellen Degeneres are?</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">#4 <strong>My gym combines fun and fitness.</strong> My gym is filled with distorted mirrors. So silly and fun. It's just like going to the fair's fun house.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span>It reminds me of a fond childhood memory: When I was five, my grandmother was going to take me to the fair. I must have read a scientific article that stated it was safer to drive a car without a seat belt. I was taught to stand up for my convictions and not surrender to peer pressure, so Mama and Amber went without me. I wasn't bitter, though. I actually served my sister by giving all her barbies updated hairstyles.<br /></span><br /><strong>#5 The treadmills are fantastic. </strong>There are a few treadmills that have some glitches in their display, but mine is always properly working. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLUs9tOpvgaZwnKI9nOTAuOaujOjBs1m97EP2OQfmzR7DPXPzwdJfhSxAKVu-jP14yY62J2OdqJJ-O2UJabb4WklhIt4WLz8dziQ-XMz5X_9U4bgNBBxjQvZ8VIoPddMA5N2LE1Tny0Rk/s1600/imagesCAE9QAAH.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 167px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704323952864606370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLUs9tOpvgaZwnKI9nOTAuOaujOjBs1m97EP2OQfmzR7DPXPzwdJfhSxAKVu-jP14yY62J2OdqJJ-O2UJabb4WklhIt4WLz8dziQ-XMz5X_9U4bgNBBxjQvZ8VIoPddMA5N2LE1Tny0Rk/s200/imagesCAE9QAAH.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Some examples of the display errors:</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">*The lady next to me has her mph listed as 7.3. Any functioning treadmill couldn't possibly go up that high.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">*The same lady has a time displayed as 40 minutes and she isn't glistening. Although the sign is severely scratched up, I am almost positive that it reads "Please limit your treadmill use to 10 minutes." I always try to follow gym etiquette, as I'm sure she would if her screen time was correct.</span><br /><br />I appreciate the positive feedback of the display. There is a part that counts the number of breaks you take during your work-out. I am proud to announce that mine is always at "0". I am embarrassed for my neighbor whose number is 4 or more. I'm not sure what the acronym stands for, but the initials are I.N.C.L.I.N.E.<br /><br />There is a large capacity water bottle holder. It also works well for half-empty mini water bottles that you might find under the car seat in a forgotten lunch box.<br /><br />#6 <strong>There is no fashion/dress code standard</strong>. They understand when mornings are tight and you show up in pajamas, flip flops, and under eye mascara. Although, I personally like to keep up with the trends. Just the other day a lady in hot pink spandex and a pink and brown sports bra was running next to me. After my cardio, strength training, and shower there happened to be another woman with the exact same outfit on that same treadmill. I'm sure Target or Walmart will carry a similar style for me.<br /><br />#7 <strong>My gym is inexpensive</strong>. I choose to spend my saved money on healthy food. These items are usually grouped together in the aisle labeled "convenience". I do find it disquieting that my fellow gym buddies spend their saved money in quick fix schemes. It is obvious that pills, suctions, enhancements, and surgeries are aiding in their physique- "real" women can't look like that.<br /><br />#8 <strong>Trainers are ready to assist you.</strong> I specifically remember the advice of the training team to loose weight slowly for it to stay off. To make changes gradually. I missed the rest of the class, but I can easily deduce not to throw out all the junk-food, stop eating after 10, or watch portion control for <em>every</em> meal. Since studies show that small steps equals success, then surely teeny tiny baby steps would be even better.<br /><br />#9 <strong>Free trial membership.</strong> I am a regular that would love to show you around. Just disregard the front desk staff that looks up my name in the computer- I believe she suffers from short-term memory loss.<br /><br />If you would like to meet me, just <span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0)"><strong>remember to bring a charged ipod</strong></span>. Without it, you may find that you are forgetting to increase your speed in your interval training session... because you are mentally blogging all of the reasons why <em>you</em> <strong>love</strong><em> your</em> gym.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Disclaimer: I didn't cut the dolls' hair on the same day as the fair.

family is playing "Goal Bingo". First to get "bingo" gets an amazing date with a person of choice.<br />When the whole family "Black Cards" it, we are on our way to a mini- vacation. <br /> Wish us luck...we'll need it!<br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 344px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701647290740972818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmmopDDrXW94iN-6CDO6goJtBAj_1j4Le8M0GH2DE2lM9QXqISDZsUZLdxk7OsMBPUykmFKURsF2xMXVxVUstC-UnhAo4fa1eBn5nfSI2pAqGKc65vz-28wd1QMRm6qGs4MstokbW1H54/s400/002.jpg" /><br />Here is Alexis' bingo sheet as an example of how this works...<br />Most of the boxes are self explanatory- but the numbers underneath usually means one straight week at a time. So if you miss a day, you have to start your week over.<br /><br />Most kids' goal sheets are the same, except Ben also has "eating fruit everyday" and "10 books" instead of 1.5 million words. He also has exercise goals instead of journal writing ones.<br />Sorry, I'm not posting Rhet and my goal sheets. You aren't taking a look into our lives with those magnifying glasses!</div>Jessica Parnell Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14943044065943336329noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205502386985577120.post-8607729053342839772012-01-25T10:00:00.000-05:002012-01-25T17:38:49.029-05:00What? More goals charts?<div>So... a far off vacation is hard for a child to work towards; hence, this weekly chart.</div><div> </div><div>For each day that the children complete all of their goals, they earn $0.50 -Every two weeks, they get their "allowance" in <strong>cash.</strong> I have learned that<strong> </strong>it is much more effective with a tactile, tangible reward to equate the <em>behavior</em> with the <em>positive consequences</em>, instead of just "buying it for them on my card"... although, it is so much more of a pain!)</div><div> <img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 388px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701695785435341362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhy05a2i74LJSlhMZ3s2K89ClP6eyplNmMXUdZwsQNLqQXV-SoRtvVJOePznE_cb0IzmjCbLnqmjNL4i0f2npRMDUX9ODeCM2f3jaMfu8Pd6xEvTXatQ5biQ5s7d9blarHKDaGKJ4lH00/s400/001.jpg" /></div><div>They no longer get money for doing chores- if they don't do their chorse, money just gets deducted from their over-all amount. (Which is why $0.25 is deducted on Tuesday. I am no longer going to be the "wet towel on floor nag". </div><div> </div><div>So far, the kids have been extremely motivated. They make their own charts at the beginning of the week, they fill in their own bubbles, and don't have to be reminded of any goals. Oh, I wish I would have added so many more :)</div><div> </div><div>The problem I forsee... one day they may realize that if they forget to brush their teeth in the morning, that there would be no point in completing any of the rest of the day's goals. Another one; they may realize that on a "hard" day (journal writing, preparing family night, and being reverent throughout all of church)... they may decide that it isn't worth $0.50 when they can easily get the money other days for less work.</div><div> </div><div>So far, so good- so I won't tell if you don't tell. Besides, they are too sweet and obedient for that, right?... or they just want as much mula as possible. Yah, that's it.</div><div> </div><div>For those of you who don't agree with rewarding behavior that you inherently expect... try rewarding yourself for a week of eating healthy and exercising everyday (no treats, though). It gives incentive to do your best and really work towards achievement... and then along the way it becomes a habit and a way of life. That's my philosophy anyhow; mine as well test it out and experiment on my kids! Hopefully, they won't be thirty calling me on the phone to send them some goodies for doing the dishes!</div>Jessica Parnell Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14943044065943336329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205502386985577120.post-6478808119312842782012-01-16T20:21:00.002-05:002012-02-01T14:18:37.901-05:00The handsome men in my life...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7uTy8EDgVFmI8NqXWzk_TxTSAaJpdN7Dl-VE6_AJ6-4cI4slEA9SxT4WaT2qwCJFXNa1t53DW3paz9v30onuOb_1h_u5CH5JvOk9ZMLR9Vv-Z4pzQrQcUROy24aKHF9VO-NtEI8JHj2g/s1600/054.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698405428938958050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7uTy8EDgVFmI8NqXWzk_TxTSAaJpdN7Dl-VE6_AJ6-4cI4slEA9SxT4WaT2qwCJFXNa1t53DW3paz9v30onuOb_1h_u5CH5JvOk9ZMLR9Vv-Z4pzQrQcUROy24aKHF9VO-NtEI8JHj2g/s400/054.JPG" /></a> <span style="font-size:130%;">I love this picture.

Both hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the Internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. The term planking refers to mimicking a wooden <a title="Plank (wood)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plank_(wood)">plank</a>.
