Thanksgiving

Michael and I went to my parents' house for Thanksgiving. Michael took a self-portrait of himself. Micah, Weston, and I made silly faces. Friday my Dad, Jason, Michael, Lizard, Micah, Weston, and I went target shooting. It was Micah and Weston's first time, Lizard's second. Micah and Weston just wanted to watch, then became interested in trying it themselves when we told them police officers have to practice shooting (they both want to be police officers!) then they thought it was really fun when we shot the plastic bottles. (of course I forgot my camera!) The whole time was great spending with family.

Sleep Over

I took the week of Thanksgiving off and invited my nephews to come sleep over the night before Thanksgiving. When Jason and Heather dropped them off, Rylee was convinced she was going to sleep over also. Not sure how she would do, her mom and dad told her she needed to go home with them. Rylee chose to not necessarily argue with mom and dad, but rather she debated with them why she needed to stay the night. She even said "I will even sleep on the ground if I can just stay". She isn't even three yet!! They were all great and we made individual pizzas, place cards for Thanksgiving, and then they had a blast in the jet tub bubble bath. I haven't heard so much constant giggling for some time. It was fun having them over!

Lets get healthy!

My friend Tonya proposed this great idea. I am at my heaviest weight and know I need to be in better shape, for many reasons. It is hard to have someone to meet up with to work out and keep you accountable due to schedules. So, starting tomorrow, each day we will e-mail each other what we ate and what we did to be physically active. It is surely the accountability to someone else that keeps you doing what is best for your body. It is easier to eat that bowl of ice cream when no one is really keeping tabs on you. So, if anyone wants to join in on getting healthy, just e-mail me at my "teenie_reenie" account and I will start including you on my daily diet and exercise and you of course will need to send yours to me. Keeping track of calories isn't really necessary,mainly just what food is passing your lips!

Ahhh...the joy of critters!

Ok, I knew she would have to have some sort of quirk in order to fit in at our home. Jade is a clepto and loves to eat plants. I am missing a diamond stud earring, which I am sure she relocated. I have seen her carry off paper, barrets, and such. She also ate one of my plants to the root and used the pot as a bed. The latest...she ate the petals off of the sunflowers Michael gave me. What can I say...she fits in!
