How different our bodies are


I couldn't help but laugh when we were hiking in Arches this weekend. Roger and Jake were in front of me walking and to see the difference in their calve muscles and legs. The Pynes are notorious for their skinny legs. Troy happened to get Rogers skinny legs and Jareds are just normal. Jake happened to be blessed with huge calves that my boys are jealous of. When Shana was dating she happened to go out with a guy that worked at 24 Hr. Fitness and then when Jake came over and she introduced him to us and Jared saw Jakes calves he asked him if he was the one who worked there and he said "no". Jared was kind of embarrassed but we assumed it was since they were so huge. We are never happy with our bodies are we? There is always someone who we are jealous of but then there are times when we can go to a water park and look around and see bodies that are much more worse than ours. I guess we just have to be thankful for what we have and not complain. ( it's hard though). Anyway, I love Rogers skinny little legs even though he doesn't like them.

HAHA.. I know. Jakes has awesome calves, doesn't he? Poor Daddy with the skinny legs. I have wished my whole life I got them, but nope. ;) Oh well. Such as life. Great picture though! haha

I used to hate my skinny ankles. Now I am so grateful for them! They are one of the things that identify me as a Pyne!

Accepting my body the way it is has brought so much happiness into my life! Instead of fighting what my body is, I embrace it and know that my worth does not come from the size of my waist or the padding on my hips!

Those legs look like some legs I've seen before on my dad and 3 of my brothers. I think Greg was the only one that got the big calves.
