I'm back...

I'm back. Not sure what to post... but well feel like I should :)

Not much new here at our house. Blade was home sick all last week with a mix of the flu bug and a cold. He did go back to school on Friday which was nice to see. I was sick Tuesday with a little bug... and now today I'm coming down with a head cold :(
Feel it coming on pretty strong... ugh this weather I'm telling you I'm tired of it ;(

The older boys finished 3rd quarter last week, got report cards today. They could be doing much better!!!... so we were a little disappointed with their grades so "treats" like cell phones and internet will be taken away starting this week... onto a good note.. I can't believe how well litl' Blade can read, its just amazes me :)

Our boys have a "indoor skatepark" in our downtown building... yes its true! Recently they were told they could no longer
skate or skateboard thru town so ... until the outdoor skatepark is done they will be hanging out there. It keeps them out of "further damage" with the city authorities...

Other news, we had a nice Valentine's day weekend a few weeks ago. Went to Houlihan's of course for supper:) always yummy there! Jer and I got to spend the day together... we went "camper browsing", yes we are venturing out this summer and looking into going camping with the boys. Just exploring options at this time but in order to get me to camp... its going to have to be some type of camper... I'm not a tent person :( So if anyone knows of someone who's selling a camper... reasonable $$ let us know.

Ok so up to par on the weight loss damage. I've been struggling but I am making a little head way!

**This will be day 5 of no pop for Lis! I'VE BEEN DRINKING A c. of COFFEE EACH A.M. it keeps me satisfied...
**I'm actually following a daily ritual of activities! WII FIT keeps me motivated... stepped on it for the first time... and well
I SWELLED up BIG! what a MOTIVATOR :) I want to see that person shrink away!!! Funny because when Blade steps on it... he's underweight... and well I'm NOT!!
**I've lost a total of 7.3lbs so far... so I'm making head way to those 55lbs I want to loose!
**NOW when I thought the weather was getting nice I could walk outside... well not the case yet so hitting it hard on the
treadmill the last few days.

I really want to be my ideal weigh by the end of summer.. or early Fall. I've got a few budd(ies) doing this with me... so
hope we can help each other out on the way :) LETS GET ROCKIN'!!!!! Cuz next April... I wanna go to Mexico!!!!


Dumb blog but I was SUPER bored!!!!

Hello

Ok so I slacked in the last week or so, just been busy trying to get my house back in order after all the Christmas decor down :)
I can honestly say ITS ALOT of work to take down than to put up... but I'll be where I want to be by the end of the week... YEAH!!

So not much new at our house. Jer continues to stay busy with work, our boys are enjoying the "getto park" at the building... they created a 'indoor skatepark :) yes crazy but they sure enjoy spending time up there. Issac was in a spelling bee today and placed 4th so that I am very proud of him! Next week he will turn the BIG 13 :) Blade is Blade just enjoys life to the fullest! He is going to turn 6 and he is SO SO excited about that :) Its pretty cute!

Over the weekend, Blade and I went to the dedication of the new building at Aquin, its truly amazing what we have created for our kids! Its just humbling to see the chapel and all the new space added to the school. I am so glad our family is a part of the Aquin community.

So I best wrap this little blog up and continue to clean my house... Gosh it just crumbles if I don't stay on top of it! Dishes and laundry are YELLING for me.

Have a GREAT week! (this crazy photo is from New Years Eve)

soon will be 13!!!!!

Ok so here we are and its finally warming up in Iowa... did you guys feel that heat wave come thru today? I am SO ready for spring!!! after this week my house will be too :) I can't wait to shut the furnace off and open the windows to fresh air :)

I had a productive day today, got up early, took kids off to school, ran into Dbq for a dr. appt and a few errands then I came home and was Hard Core cleaning! My main floor is springing SPRING and that feels damn good! I'll finish basement area tomorrow.

WOW we had a great weekend celebrating a good friends birthday!!!! It was great FUN! I although had TOO TOO much to drink!!!! I'm laying off alcohol for a LONG while!!!!!!

Hard to believe my Issac will be 13 on Feb. 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where does time go?


not much to blog today so I'll close with that! I know LAME blog!!!! but its something :)

Hugs and More Hugs

Oh my! I really thought the boys would be at home today, but they only had a 2 hour delay. Mitchel was actually "happy" there was school today :) because if there wasn't then he would have to make his semester test up... He is going tractor pulling with my dad this weekend... they are off to Gordiville or something like that?

So I must share... Blade is a DOLL when taking him to school. He has this "routine" of HUGS and kisses before he will let me leave the building... its PRICELESS because someday he will grow up and he won't want that anymore... ya know? I think today I got at least 6 hugs before leaving, he's just LOVES life!

Well, I made a promise to myself to try to blog everyday in 2009 as well as updating my facebook ... I'm trying thats all I can promise. Not much of a blog today but its something :) I best get back to cleaning my disaster of a house... got Christmas shit everywhere! I'll be SO happy when its all put away!!

Enjoy your day!

Back in 2009!

Ok... so I'm a little late but HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you! May the best come to you in 2009!

I hope this blog finds you all doing well in 2009! I had a productive day today... my house is starting to see the normal days again... only two more trees to attack besides my real tree in our bedroom. I LOVE to decorate for Christmas but I am also sad to take it down... this year it just seemed to have passed so FAST :(

Not much new at our house, the older boys have semester test his week and will start a new semester on Thursday. Blade is finally getting back into the routine of going to school... he REALLY enjoyed his time off from school... actually TOO MUCH I think:) but thats ok too. Issac is going to be in a Spelling Bee later this month, he qualified for it so that is exciting :)

Jer left today for a short trip to Boston, he'll return Thursday evening. While he is gone I am really hoping to get things put back together here and well catch up from last week since I had a busy week last week.

We had a great weekend as well... enjoyed Friday night just hanging out at home watching a movie, Saturday we went to the annual Tigges Holiday party, it was a good time as usual :) Sunday we went to the Bent Rim Holiday party, that was a great time... but needless to say I was a little hung over this morning... I'm really getting too old for this shit ...


Really want the cold to go away... but I think its going to be around for awhile... until then I will enjoy tanning... just started back at that last Friday... YEAH!

Until I blog again... stay warm!
