Snow Day!

So it's almost the end of January and we had our first snow today. The kids were jumping up and down that they didn't have to go to school and I was crying my classes were cancelled at the gym!
Oh it's okay because I made up for it by pulling Sienna in a sled while running up and down the street with her over and over again! Then there's shoveling the snow...that is a workout right there.
Am I right?
So it ended up being fun playing in the snow even though I am not a fan of the cold...we all bundled up. Then when we were all frozen we came in sat by the fire, drank hot chocolate and ate toast.
Now they are calling me to go down and watch a movie with them...the tasks of a mom!
Sheesh! :)


The boys making a homemade ramp out of a table and a log.....

Sienna couldn't stop eating the snow...even while sledding down the street......

Love This!

Okay I just discovered this product over the weekend. I wanted to share because I think it is so yummy and healthy too.....
It's the Arnold 100% whole wheat sandwich thins. 1 roll has 5 g of protein, 6 g fiber and only 100 calories. I use them for my boca burgers or soy chicken patties but you could put anything on them. Hamburgers, turkey sandwiches, anything.
I love it when I find a good product. Just wanted to share........

Winter Blues....

I really have the winter blues today.....
I am so tired of being cold.....I feel drained of energy.....
For those of you that know me well you know I am a summer girl. I love the warmth, the sun, the beach, the pool......it just makes me so happy.
Today I am just having a blue day. I want the sun. I want to walk out in shorts and flip flops. I want to put Sienna in shorts and flip flops.....it's so much easier than coats, boots, hats, and gloves.
I want to hang out with my bestest girlfriend at the pool and let the kids play while we talk, and drink diet coke.
I want to go to the beach.....
THIS BEACH!


Or this beach would be fine too.......

I know I can't be alone on this....I know you all want it too!
Except my friends who are in toasty Arizona.....don't rub it in guys!

Potty Training

So we have started potty training a little at our house. Sienna has got one of them down! Woo Hoo! Unfortunately the second we put panties on her she wets her pants.....we gotta figure that one out. This is more Sienna doing it because I think it's a pain in the butt. I remember Cooper totally doing it on his own too. He'd take his diaper off and I would say no Coop let's put it back on. I guess when they are ready they're ready....diapers just seem a lot easier to me than being in the middle of somewhere and having to run and find a bathroom.
I walked around the corner yesterday to find this...she did her business but took her time and did a little reading while she was at it....

Wish us luck. She gets Tinkerbell undies if she gets it down....such excitement!!!!

Happy Birthday Conwey!






So it was my husbands birthday yesterday and I have come to the conclusion that when a birthday falls on a weekday it just isn't as much fun. 
We had all kinds of plans for last night and then Conwey got stuck at work, Cooper's baseball tryouts went until after 9:00 pm and we ended up with take out pizza for dinner. (that Conwey had to pick up..)
We will go out and celebrate this weekend Conwey!!!!
He did get a yummy breakfast in bed though, and lots of presents to open before work. That's a scone in case your wondering.....



Then when he got to work his co-workers had printed a bunch of funny pictures of him that I found for them and plastered them all over the place. Also making masks of them. Then had his favorite treats and pie waiting for him. Oh and I did bake him a blueberry pie which is his favorite....

10 things I love about Conwey......

1. He is soooooo devoted to his family and church.
2. If Conwey is your friend/family he would give you the shirt off his back.
3. He is a GREAT teacher.....all the youth always love love love him.
4. He is great at what he does for a living.
5. He has a love of sports....he is good at pretty much anything he tries.
6. He is fun to go shopping with and has good taste.
7. He loves his kids and especially loves having a little girl who adores him.
8. He is pretty dang funny.
9. When he is watching a funny movie there is no one on earth with a laugh like his. It always makes me laugh even when I think it's dumb.
10. He loves me even when I am being difficult.

So the party will continue and I will for sure add more pictures!
Happy Birthday Conwey! I love you!
