Pumpkin Farm

My mom is the most amazing woman I know. I never in a million years, ever, thought that I would see her driving a tractor, holding a baby goat, picking up a rabitt, or running around in a chicken pen. She has sure broadened her horizons with this job, but I think that it is a perfect fit! She did a fantastic job. Thank you so much Mom, for letting Grandma and I join the field trip on Friday. We had so much fun!

I picked up some pie pumpkins that I am going to roast and make my own pumpkin puree. I cannot wait for that!



Here is a picture of my mom and grandma (92) at the pumpkin farm. It really is a beautiful place. It is hard to believe that I grew up in Morton, and I cannot remember ever going to a pumpkin patch! Mom, did we ever go? I am so glad that I got to experience it now. Ackerman Farms is just outside of Morton on 150. Get off on the Goodfield Exit and take 150 towards Morton, you cannot miss it! You will probably get to see my mama, and she might even take you on a hay rack ride! They are only open through Halloween, so you better hurry!

One whole year!

It is hard to believe that it has been a whole year since I met Caitlin, Suz and Gretchen! These ladies are amazing! Caitlin has a whole year of clean eating under her belt and she looks and feels incredible! Suz is down almost 60 pounds and is stronger than ever. And Gretchen just ran a marathon in 4:09! Thank you for pushing yourselves and striving to be fit and healthy over the last year. Every week, I am more and more impressed by you!

Keep it up. Love you! Em

Our New Spokesmodel??

Rachel's daughter, Brooke, is showing off her muscles in a boot camp shirt! We are pushing ourselves to get stronger and healthier every single day, and it is carrying over to the next generation. Be proud that you are all teaching your daughters that strength and health is a lifestyle, it makes you feel good, and it makes you a better mom!

Thank you for sharing this pic with me! She is adorable!

Boot Camp Baby

I got to meet Ameila today. She is precious and very pensive. She already seems amazed by the world around her. Mama Julia is doing great, looks beautiful, and is ready to get back to boot camp! We are ready for her return, but in a couple more weeks.

Congrats Julia and Roger, she is beautiful.

Love you, Emily

Six more make it to a year!

I am so excited to announce that six more ladies hit the year mark in September. What a year it has been. Thank you, thank you for your hard work! You are amazing women, and I am proud to be working with you. Here's to another incredible year! Keep it up.

Love you!

Chris and I had a great time in St. Louis...out first stop, the gym. We had to earn our lunch! We sure did. We started our weekend away with a great workout together.
