Insanity

So this is part of my looses weight goal, not only am I doing the good old diet but every day I do one of the Beach Body Insanity workouts. They really are what they say "INSANE" It is a 60 day program where you do one work out each day, They are any where from 35-60 min and by the end of them you cant even move. I have never been good at doing video workouts but I cant run on the icy roads out here and I never have time for the gym so I just had to suck it up and do them. So far they seem to be working and I have lost about 5 lbs in a week. So I strongly recommend them to anyone who wants to work out at home and work out hard....they are NOT easy by any means! I hope in 60 days Ill have a sweet beach body and be in the best shape of my life like they claim I will!

Yay a night out without the kids! It was chance's bday last weekend so his lovely wifey nicole had a surprise party for him at mambos, even though it didnt end up really a surprise. Mambos is probably my favorite restaurant around here. We ended up with so many people they had to put us at two different table, so of course the girls stuck together and the guys got their own room. It was a good time with good wine and food and even a COCK dessert that they made up special for us. by the way canoli cream is not that good. It was a calm night and we were actually home by about eleven but just a few hours out was much needed and it was good to see everyone!

Family Fun zone

Im so proud of Kalispell for getting a fun place for familys to come and hang out! It seems like every weekend in the winter we are trying to find something to go do with the kiddos and some times its too cold to play in the snow or there is no snow. So now we can go to the Zone! There are lots of things for kids of all ages, laser tag, bumper cars, arcade games, a big ball center and huge bounce house and slide. They also do pizza parties and stuff there. We just we to check it out and ended up letting brie play on a few things. Kacy is super into the laser tag and has gone back a few times with his friends to play. I think we will end up going there on Bries actual bday ( which is also my bros gf's sons bday) for a party and then have her party at home the next day. It gets super busy on the weekends so I hope it stays busy and stays open! Kalispell really needed a fun place like this and im excited to go back!

Out Sledding

Right after New Years I got kinda lame and stayed home for about 3 days. And I was so bored after three days I needed to get out bad. So good thing my bro invited us to come sledding and go out for some pizza. Brie just loves playing with Emily, so they had a blast sledding. I was impressed what troopers they were walking back up the hill. It was solid ice so it was hard for me to even walk back up. Even Gigi had fun, and I took her down on the sled a few runs. After we went out for some Pizza Hut. Its a good place to take 4 wild kids when there are only 2 adults to watch them. But they were super easy there too and we all had a great time. Like I said I stayed home a few days so that was like a super fun evening for me lol!

Bries Story

Brie is quite the story teller, she makes up stories and plays and shows all the time. The other day she was pretending to write her story down so i asked her is she wanted me to write it for her as she told it to me...I thought it would be a fun thing for her to have when she is older, a book of the stories she tells...so im proud to present her first story.....

Once upon a time there was a mermaid that had a dress on with poofy things and a flower. The mermaid was so serious she didnt know where her family was. So she found them in her castle. And all the mermaids came to visit her. It was snowing and the princes were boys. And then it was summer again. All the mermaids turned into.......The End

Guess we will have to wait and see what they turned into next time.......

Thank you to my daddy who made me this cool wood frame for out old western photo! He is the woodworker of the family.

New Years

Every Year on New Years Eve they do a thing for the kids at the mall as part of First Night. There is always free face painting and pony rides and hat making. This year Dora the pony must have been too cold because she wasnt there. But Brie did have fun still making her hat and getting this butterfly on her face. It was super cute because while the lady was doing it brie says real quite to her "you look very beautiful" and the lady goes back "Thank you thats the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day" Oh it always makes me proud the rare moments her good manners come out. And the last one is the hat brie decorated. She didnt do much just stuck on a few things but she was very proud of it. Got to get my kids liking crafts at a young age.
