Happy Valentines Day

We want to wish all our readers a very Happy Valentines Day! Hoping that you got to spend the day with the ones you love. It is bitter sweet to us. Not only it is the month of my Dad's birthday, but also the day my Aunt was buried. So it definetly seems at times a little over rated, but yet hold those very dear to us close at heart.

Not much has been carrying on in our house. Dylan spent the night with a friend Friday night and Syd had her girls night with Grandma, so it was a little quiet here Friday night. It was nice as I had been out of the house all day and so a quiet ending to the busy day was super nice. A big thanks to Juang and Steve for having Dylan to spend the night with Kenyan. And to my mom for having Syd, so she could make special memories with my niece, Abbie.

Saturday, Michael and I started the day by going out together and cutting wood. None the less, we also go stuck in a big snow drift that is still out there and had to get pulled out, haha! We just chilled out the rest of the day after we got done with the first load of wood. It was quite a workout. It was good to have a little time alone with him, even if it was work, and get a good workout while doing it.

So today we started off the day by going to the casino for brunch. We then went over to see little Alexis Ellerman. This is the first time we have gotten to see her since she was born. I felt we were all healthy at this point and that it was a good time to see her. She is beautiful. She was very content with Syd holding her and talking to her.


So tonight I leave you with a photo of Michael and I on Valentines Day. We have been together for 16 years, and married for 13 this coming June.

Videos

here are the girls doing their Renegade Man Makers. I cannot get the dance video to post. I will try again tomorrow. Looks like I mayb be pulling an all nighter with Syd. She is not feeling well.

Ahhh, Fat Free Sugar Free Cool Whip!!

I know you are all wondering about this post, but keep reading, it's not what you are thinking=)Below I am adding some video of the kids. The first one is of them dancing at half time of last weeks home basketball game. The dance team does this as a fundraiser, and well, our kids love to dance, so they loved it. Dancing is also a great way to burn energy, and calories, and get in a little exercise.


Speaking of exercise, Michael has been going to the gym and seeing a personal trainer for 2 weeks now. And yes, it is all legit, it is a male trainer (for those who are wondering LOL) and thanks to Joe, Michael is bringing home this "fit" attitude. I have been doing 20 minutes on the treadmill every day, and then doing a great cardio workout and focus on certain area's three times a week. Michael sees Joe 4 times a week, and he is teaching some of it to me and the kids. Along with all that, we are eating a little better as well, not that we ever really ate bad. Which brings me to, fat free, sugar free Cool Whip is really good. You can't tell the difference. So these last three videos are of the kids doing the Renegade Man Maker! It is a big challenge, I can't do very many!! Ok, I am having trouble getting the video to upload. I will try again later!
