What we've been up to!

Finally, I post something new! ha! It has been fun and very busy around our house. Since my last post...

We had a great time at the hockey game Fri. Jan. 8th. It turns out that kids 6 and under get in free to the hockey games, so my family and my sis's family all went together. Dalton did really good- I was pleasantly surprised by this. He enjoyed all the action and just walked back and forth down "our isle" all game long. Cade thought it was a little long (and it was for a 6 year old), but he enjoyed it too. He could hardly wait until the game was over because he knew Keith was taking him ice skating with the players after the game. Me and my sis, Amanda, took the younger two back to my house while Keith, Cade, Thomas, and Thomas Aaron skated. It was our first hockey game and we enjoyed it and will probably go again sometime!

The next morning, Keith left early to be the tournament director for the Bag Tag Challenge disc golf tournament. He did a great job, as usual, and everyone had a good time, despite the frigid temperatures!

All the next week was a little uneventful, but the weekend was fun. I went out with my BF, Jessica, and we ate at Olive Garden and then watched "Leap Year". It was a good, clean, funny, romantic comedy. And why can't 'they' make more movies like
that?! Sat. me and Dalton played in the mall playground while Keith and Cade watched Alvin and the Chipmunks. Cade thought it was so funny and talked about it, literally, for the next 2 days straight. He kept saying, "Mom, I just keep thinking about that movie!" Keith thought it was a little corny, but a great show for kids!

All last week was pretty busy between errands and appointments. School was out on Mon. so Dalton and I were glad to have Cade home with us for the day. I started a new Bible study Wed. mornings and we have been going to Wed. night church. Terry and I had lunch Thurs. (at Newk's-YUM) and it is always fun talking with her!

Fri. 22- Dalton was especially challenging, so when Keith got home, we all decided to go out for a while, change the scenery a bit. :) We ate at Taco Bell (Cade's choice and request-his new food is tacos), then went to Hobby Lobby to get ideas for redecorating the house. We found some great frames for the boy's room and got some ideas for ours. We are considering repainting the red walls in our room to a darker tan or beige color. Not sure yet...

Sat. 23- Cade had two birthday parties: F-U-N (for Cade anyway :)Before I took Cade to the parties, my friend Jessica and I walked 3 laps around the track. We would have walked longer, but the wind was harsh and Jessica gets ear infections easily. We still got some good exercise! We also went to a few stores looking for a picture board for the boy's room. No luck- I may have to look online to find what I want!

Sun. 24- We went to church and ate lunch together at home. Keith went and played a quick round of disc golf at Ballard and then we headed to Dad's to watch the championship football games. We were happy the Colts won, but disappointed in the way the Vikings/Saints game turned out. At first, we were ok with either team winning, but the more breaks the Saints got, the more we rooted for the Vikings. I am a big Bret Favre fan anyway!

That pretty much catches up to this week. I am focusing on healthy eating and eating less. I have also done some form of a workout program and stretching each day. I have lost 1 pound in 2 days, and that's not bad! I am currently working on designing my blog page and starting a snapfish account. I also want to start a scrapbooking project I saw on an awesome website called "Kevin and Amanda"(Thanks Candise for this site- I am in love!!) Anyway, Dalton is up from is nap and there is lots of laundry, ironing, and cleaning still to do! Plus, I need to sit down and have some one-on-one playtime with Dalton! Hope everyone is well!
