Goings on...

 The weeks seem to be flying by.  Just yesterday Bree told me that her Birthday is in 4 months!  What?  Ok, that's kind of far away, but not really.  She just turned 8 and was baptized.  How can she be turning 9 in 4 months?  It will be here before I can blink my eyes.  The girls are getting big so fast.  Wish I could just freeze time for a little while.  

The other morning, as Bree and I were standing at the corner waiting for her bus, the neighbors bird feeders were covered in birds.  Snow was falling, and it was just fun to watch the birds, as we waited for the bus.  I decided to run back to the house for my camera, because I just knew I could take some really fun pictures.  This is the kind of stuff I love.  To just have time to notice the beauty all around us!

 My Mom, sister Jen, and I have been training with a group of Women up at WSU.

We have 4 months to get ready to walk the Ogden Half Marathon.  

Again, I can't believe how fast time flies.  We've just completed week 4!  We are a 4th of the way there already.  It's actually been quite fun.  I am meeting a lot of really nice people and having a great time getting in shape.  I love our training schedule.  It keeps me going.  Not wanting to miss any of the work outs, because I want to be as ready as I can on Marathon Day.  

I got some new shoes!  And socks.  I think they are the most comfortable shoes I've had in years.  I went to the shoe store and tried on at least 10 pair.  And these won hands down!  

And I am happy to report, that over the past month, I have lost 8lbs!  Slowly but surely.  

Now to change my eating habits!! :)

Valentines was ok this year.  Chris and I have really been watching our money.  

No flowers, no dinner, no date.  

But the girls bought and made Valentines for their school classes, and Chris brought home these adorable, yummy, cupcakes for us girls :)  

If you ask Dave Ramsey about Valentines he'll tell you all you need is, Beans, Rice, and Romance!

Ha..ha..  

For the first time in years, we didn't make it to the RV Show!  That is very unusual.  But, I thought paying the entrance fee, and gas to go would be wasted, since we bought a new RV last Spring.  I would have loved to go walk through all the new trailers, and dream of our Summer Camping Days, but Spring will be here before you know it, and then we'll be living the dream, instead of dreaming.  

Ruby loves to help Mommy around the house, and play in the laundry basket while I'm putting her sisters clothes away.

The weather has been so mild!  I can hardly believe it.  There is not one stitch of snow in our front yard, and it's almost gone in the back.  We only got the Snowmobile out 1 day!!  It's been snowing in the mountains instead, and that is where we need it, so I guess I can't complain.  

And the girls have had some fun lately playing outside.  Getting the wiggles out, and breathing in the fresh air.  

My girls have all been sick with colds ever since we got home from our East Canyon trip.  And every time we get them healthy, they get another.  I guess I'm going to have to sterilize my whole entire house!  I'm the only one who hasn't come down with something, and I'm praying that I stay healthy, so I can continue my exercise routine!  

Yesterday Chris went to the dentist.  His Nephew is a dentist, and doesn't charge us for a lot of stuff!  Thank goodness for that, because Chris was cursed with really bad teeth.  He had to have a molar pulled and will just be missing it forever.  They are ordering him a crown for another tooth, and he had several cavities.  The poor guy.  He brushes and flosses faithfully everyday, only to have constant problems.  I sure hope the girls have my teeth!!!  Can't say that enough.  

And while Chris was at the dentist yesterday, being a holiday, I took the girls to the theater to see Frozen.  yeah, we're probably the last people on the planet to see it, but the girls really enjoyed it.  It was Ruby's 1st movie, and she was awesome!  She was even dancing on my lap through all of the songs.  It was a good time :)
