Happy Groundhog Day!

UPDATE:
Phil DID NOT see his shadow!! Yay for spring!




I love this holiday.  I think it is so silly.  I love the story behind it. 

Here's to you Punxsutawney Phil and hoping you don't see your shadow!

I swear there is a groundhog that lives in our backyard somewhere.  
I have seen him before. Just saying

It is one month into the New Year and I thought It was time to do a progress report regarding my New Year Goals.

1. My gratitude journal is filling up.  Some days are very hard to come up with 5 things I am greatful for, other days it is very easy.  I love looking back and reading some of the things I was greatful for on certain days.  It makes me appreciate the small things in life when I do this.  David has also continued to do this also.  (Although not in journal form-just telling me)  I love hearing about what makes him greatful.  It is nice to know that he is "looking" for the good things that happen through out the day.

2.  I have been going to Body Sculpt and Boot Camp.  I do these on Thursdays (Body Sculpt) and Saturdays (Boot Camp).  On Fridays Theresa and I work out at J and RE's.  I love my classes so much.  I have been doing them since September and I have noticed changes.  I have gotten stronger and more toned.  I am so glad I can do these.  It makes me have more energy and not feel so dull on these looooong winter days.

3. I am still in the process of reading The Five Love Languages.  I'll update more after I am finished reading.  So far it is OK. 

Hope everyone is sticking with their goals!!  So far I can say I am doing well!!

Million Dollar Money Drop

I love this show, and I have realized a few things while watching it...

• I get nervous.
• I think I know EVERYTHING.
• I end up yelling at the T.V.
• My blood pressure goes through the roof.
• Kevin Pollak annoys the be-jesus out of me.
• They can drag an episode out like none other.

This show is soooo much fun.  If you haven't watched it yet I suggest you do so.

Burrrrrrrrrrrrr

We had a snow day weekend in our household this past weekend.  It was lovely.  It was soooo stinkin' cold out. So what did we do?

We built a fort.

We froze our paws off.

And chewed on bones.

We played monopoly.

We watched The Office Season 6. (well part of it)

We slept in.

We cleaned.

And napped.

We watched football.

And ate a family dinner at John and Rose Ellen's.

It might have been a lazy weekend, but it was much needed.

Oh and I must add that Peyton literally froze his paws off.  I let him outside to potty and he stood out there for quite some time and then couldn't walk back in.  He held his paws out of the snow and cried.  It was so pitiful.  And so precious. 

My Secret Crush...

Is on my Shark Steam Mop.  I cannot get enough of my little friend. I used to watch the infomercials over and over again.  I was mesmorized. So when Christmas came around I got this from John & Rose Ellen.   Who would have thought such a simple cleaning tool could make my day? It has changed my life since the day I got it.  I love not having to get a mop and bucket or use the swiffer.  I know my floors get clean and they aren't sticky after. 

Hint: use distilled H20 when using.

It's also nice that the pads are reusable.  :-) So you are saving the environment.  There are so many Shark products I can't wait to try!

Chia nOBAMA

My dad thought it would be HILARIOUS to get me a Barack Obama Chia Pet for Christmas. (If you don't know us we are very conservative and BO is not our favorite person, which makes us having a BO Chia Pet very funny)  Now, I am not very good at keeping things alive (except Peyton).  Therefore, this Chia Pet became David's project.  David watered and kept nObama (as we affectionately call him) alive for a month.  Then it was by choice to let our new friend go.  It was acutally very interesting and fun to watch him grow.  We had a good time with him...
