2012....TO A MORE HEALTHIER ME

I haven't been on here in like forever but thought I would try harder to share some of our going ons. I still come on and see what everyone else is up to, which I enjoy!


We have been living in Rivers now for just over a year and we are finally starting to feel settled. The kids have made lots of friends and are involved in many activities.

Ben's love of hockey keeps us busy but love to watch his excitement on the ice. I wish I could skate the way he does and he is only 6:) He is on the ice probably at least 5 days out of the week, which now is at our brand new recreation complex!! We are so lucky to have such a facility in our small town and it's nice to have both the curling and hockey under one roof.

Emma is busy with dance and brownies and might be starting up guitar lessons this year. She spends a lot of her time running around the rink but not as interested on being on the ice.

Stella turned 2 in June and is our little social butterfly. She loves to talk and play with other kids. We are in the process of potty training her which seemed to go a lot smoother with the other 2. She loves to go to Grandma's house!! Not sure what she'll do when she realizes grandma is gone. They left for Texas yesterday, hopefully skype will be enough to get her through til spring:)

I had a great year at work....sold 28 houses and listed more than 30!! I LOVE my job, I got to meet a lot of great people and some different but it always is interesting. I have decided this is the year I am going to get back into shape. Can't use "just had a baby" excuse anymore:) I have struggled with my weight all my life but have never been this heavy:( It will be a long road but I've done it before and I will do it again, hopefully for the last time! I ordered the P.I.N.K. Method when I saw them on the Doctors show and it looks interesting. I started yesterday and it was a difficult day but got through it and was down 3lbs. when I woke up. I will keep you posted!!

I hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year!!

The kids started school this year in Rivers. We don't move into our new house until the end of October but Grandma and Grandpa have gratiously taken us into their home and are taking very good care of us (which we can't thank them enough for). We are looking forward to the change and getting settled into our new home. Emma and Ben have settled into their new school without any problems. Emma has made lots of new friends and is very happy to go in the mornings. Ben says his favorite part is snack time and recess (no suprise there)! He is my little social butterfly, fit in the first day making friends in every grade. Hopefully the rest of the year goes as smoothly as it has started!

Ben got on Emma's bike without training wheels this weekend and off he went!!! We took off his training wheels and now we are working on the stopping without falling or jumping off. Cecil and I have been lucky as both of the kids took to it so easily without help from us. Way to go BEN!!!

We spent an evening with our friends out at their acreage and we had such a good time. We finally got to meet their new horses and the kids got to run wild with all the space. Emma says she wants a backyard like Logan's when we move to our new house, I wish! Thanks for the good times!!!
