Fathers DAy is just around the corner and we wanted to share about our Daddy!

Our parents were just 22 years old when they found out they were having a baby. They were more than excited! Months go by and Mom noticed she was growing by the minute. She felt something wasnt right. She went to the DR to get a check up and while there she learned she wasnt having "A" baby but 2 babies. Mom was absolutely thrilled. She had prayed for twins for as long as she could remember and felt so blessed. She immediately drove straight to my Daddys job site to share the news with him. He almost passed out. Literally. He was filled with fear not knowing how they could ever afford twins. My Dad did what he knew he had to do and took a second job. He owned his own Contruction company and would work from 5 AM to 5:30 PM. He would come home eat dinner, shower then be at his other job from 8 PM to 2 Am.
We are So blessed to have a Daddy that did would it took to provide for his family.

A few years goes by and every afternoon when it was time for him to be home we would hide under the same wicker sofa and he would walk in the house immediately searching for us. He would finally find us hidden under that sofa and would tickle us to pieces.

A few more years goes by and we would love to play the monkey game. Our friends Kim and Julie LOVED the monkey game too. Our Dad would hop on top of the bar and we knew that it was Monkey Time!! We would take off running, screaming and laughing histerically. It was So FUN!!!

A few more years goes by and My parents never missed a sports activity. My Dad would drive us to every football game just to watch us cheer. During basketball season he would pick us up along with most of our basketball team with (warm bananna nut bread) that momma made and off we would go to the games! My parents were our biggest fans and it showed because of their never ending support through those years!

To sit back and reflect on just a few of these memories with you Im thankful that God handpicked Terry Thornton to be my Daddy! What a true gift and my heart is full with gratitude for all his hardwork to provide for us. He also showed us how much he loved us through his actions and creating life-long fun memories!

We hope you have a wonderful Fathers Day weekend !!

Love , Misti and Ginger

Identical twins but different sports!!

Hey friends!


We hope you have all had a great week!





We have had people ask us how we got in to "triathlons" and "fitness compitions" so we thought we'd share with you our story. :)





My story... (Ginger) Triathlete


Ive always been active and compititive growing up and Iwanted something to keep me that way even as a busy mom. I was a member of a gym and did regular step classes, spin classes etc but was looking for something to help drive me in to being more compititive. Not against others necessarily but to challenge myself.


In 2009 my Husband completed his first half ironman and I was totally inspired. I immediately said I want to do this! Well as it turned out God had different plans and I was thrilled to announce that baby #4 was on the way! That was a month after Chris's half ironman. I had sweet Luci Jett in MArch of 2010 and did my first triathlon in June and a few other small ones to finish up the summer.

I just completed my first triathlon of this year least weekend and it was lots of fun but really HOT! Im hooked and am now determined to up my training to be able to complete a half iron man in september. Wow... thats'll be here before I know it so gotta go add in some miles! :)

My story... (Misti) Fitness compititor

Like Ginger, I too have always been compititive. Born that way Id guess you'd say! I loved the discipline it required and although it seemed as Ging and I were girly girls we both loved to sweat!

From the time I was a freshman in high school I was buying every fitness magazine, especially if Monica Brant was on the cover. She was my fitness icon! I also would watch my dad go to smoothie king every day and get his protein shake, come home and beast a workout out! He was so cool!.. I mean, eeehm eeehm, IS so cool! ;)

Last March I met Jon Marc at the gym. He approached me and said, " I want to train you" I immediately said , "when you want to start?"
After about 3 weeks of training he asked me to do a fitness compitition. I laughed and said NO WAYYY! Im way to shy and reserved for that. He let it go but only for about 2 more weeks and asked me again. This time I was really thinking about it because I realized how much I've always loved fitness and this would be something very challenging for me and I could do it compititively.

I started praying hard about it and had Gods approval and my husbands but unfortunately Im a people pleaser and needed to talk to all my closest friends about it. I had support from Most but not all. I had to learn that I needed to press on knowing in my heart that ultimately Gods approval along with Ti's support was all i really needed. I have to admit it still a battle for me and Ive also learned that I have to respect those that dont support it.

Its just another sport. Lots of cardio, lots of weight lifting and watching your diet an dof course lots of sweating! ;) So, it all goes back to im a little tomboy but still like to glam it up every now and then!!!

I just competed in my 3rd show where I placed 3rd. I qualified to compete nationally so Im deciding now which show will be my next! Ill keeo you all up to date...

God doesnt want us to stay just in our Christian bubble. He calls us to be a light for Him in a dark world and My prayer is that no matter what stage Im on, restaurant im in, my workplace etc, God will USE me for His GLORY!!!!!
