Ice, Baseball, Losers & just some other stuff

Well - we are being hit by the ice/snow storms. We woke up to a layer of ice on everything. And they say that was nothing compared to what is coming. We shall see. We are hoping we don't lose power. My Mom has already lost hers. I worry, cause the trees are already weighed down from the ice we have already gotten, add any more, and I worry that branches will start falling and knock out power lines. And not to mention just the weight of the ice itself on the power lines. But I have to say that everything looks so pretty.... but I am done with it. I am SO ready for Spring......

And baseball season! Both Jarrod and Jayk tried out for traveling baseball teams, and they both made it! YAY!! So excited for them! This will be a whole new adventure for us, and I am really looking forward to it! And Gryfi will start playing this year. So I am seeing a lot of time outside, in the sun, at one baseball field or another! CAN. NOT. WAIT!!!

Kel and I are both L O S E R S!! We decided to make a change. A lifestyle change. And so far, so good! We have both lost weight!! We are counting calories, and running on the treadmill, working out on the Wii Fit (until the Wii went ptthhhbbbb on us. It will no longer read discs. And we have had it for a few years, so we are out of the warranty period - it will cost us $75 for them to repair it plus the cost to ship - so I am thinking a new one is in our future!) and Kel just got the EA Sprots Active 2 for the Xbox Kinect. We are opening that up tonight, since we are iced in and all! : ) (as long as we don't lose power - I can now hear the ice hitting the windows, so it has started again) I have to say that I am proud of us. And I am glad that Kel decided to do this with me. I have tried and tried, but kept failing. Now that we are doing this together, it seems so much easier. We motivate each other and keep each other focused. And it makes it easier to eat healthier when you are not the only one doing so. And if I ever start blogging more regularly again, I will post updates. If is such a big word though!

We are getting ready to start some home projects and I am EVER so excited! We are turning our enclosed back porch into our bedroom, and then Caelyn will have our current room to herself. We are removing the carpet in the living room and the hall, and getting new furniture. And most importantly - we are getting a new bed to go in our new room! So excited! We have also talked about getting a dish washer! And I really want one! *hint*hint* ; )

Gryfinn is all better and back to himself. Thank goodness! And (knock on wood) all the kids are healthy and have been. Kel is trying to come down with a chest cold, but hopefully it passes quickly.

I think that is all for now...... I am sure there was more that I had planned to blog about - there always is - but at the moment, this is all I got - which it seems, is probably more than enough! : )
