Cold Weather

A while ago, I had a brillant idea one day to meet the kids after school and take them to the park. I thought it was warm enough to go. I called my friend Malinda and talked her into coming with me, I vaguely remember her mentioning it was going to be cold.
I assumed the kids would be thrilled over my idea once we meet them. They weren't jumping for joy with my idea but agreed to go to the park and have some fun. I don't recall our visit lasting long, it was cold. However we got a cute picture of them together on our walk back home so in my opinion it was worth it! Even thru the shivers they have great smiles. Dang cute kids!!!

Choir

Korbin joined the choir at his school. He enjoyed it! He learned some fun songs and there was a little performance at the end. He did a great job singing. At least I'm assuming he was singing, his lips were moving so that was good enough for me. ;)

Korbin's 11th Birthday

Korbin had great 11th birthday! He opened a lot of fun gifts and picked his favorite dinner and dessert. He's easily pleased. Lego's, video games, Nerf guns and a little cash equals one happy camper in this young man. 

Since Korbin's birthday landed on a weeknight we waited until the weekend to take Korbin and a few friends to Toads for some fun activities. 

They had a good time! 

30

I'm officially older! I hit the big 3-0 this year. My mom came to visit for my birthday and spent the weekend with us. On my birthday I went shopping with my girlfriend Amity (good girl time) in the morning and afterwards had a nice birthday lunch with friends and then I spent the rest of the day with my family. My mom made my favorite foods all weekend! Yum!

The cool part about this birthday was I got 3 very delicious birthday cakes (one from Jason and the kids, one from my mom and one from my friends at work.) The crappy part of my birthday is I realized the day before my birthday I was turning 30! I got over it quickly though. ;)  And since my birthday is on the same day as a cousin he shared his bounce house party with me.

I love my life, my family and friends! I'm very lucky. 

E-mail

 Our Relief Soceity is doing a program called 'Super in Six' again. The overall goal is to help you learn new healthy living habits, get fit, and if you get lucky loose some weight while doing it. It's not as easy as it sounds. I've joined a few times in the past. Sometimes I have made it all the way and others times I haven't. This time I think the odds are in my favor I'll make it the whole six weeks in good shape (with the exception of all the bad points I'll be eating on my birthday next Friday). Our team captain is great and can add a little pressure because she always WINS (which scares me just enough). This morning as I was ready to cave in and had worked out a plan on how to get away with just a few treats I opened up my e-mail and found a great reminder I'm on a winning team and these treats I went to bed thinking about and woke up to the same thoughts are just going to have wait.
