It's been so long...

We have been so busy and have had little time for blogging, but with school out and my Reading Endorsement completed, I have a few moments to spare.

We went and visited some "great" people we love! Abuelo and Abuela were very happy to see us! We had a weekend filled with family and friends!

Aiden is actually jumping into the pool with his floaties!

 

Aiden and daddy are fishing and enjoying the serenity of the lagoon! It has to be the most calm place in PCB!!!

He was happy until...

we let his first fish go!

Aiden and abuelo had a giggle about their matching hats.

Father Chuck, who married us, and his precious wife enjoyed an evening with our silly group.

Aaron and Tico had a staring contest...

Abuela and Uncle Rob also went fishing!

Even the wildlife joined our fun!

We finished our trip with a meal at a great sushi restaurant!!!



"Snowboarding"

In Georgia, we don't get snow often, but when we do ...we enjoy it! We took our boogie boards from our summer vacay and went sliding down the oh-so-small slope by our house and had fun!

fasting

I am praying about doing the Daniel Fast. It is 21 days of only eating non-processed food and no meat. I am also going to have to give up my Diet Coke and my daily eggs. Ove the past 2 years, it has been a huge struggle to lose the 50+ pounds from baby #3!!!! The eggs are my daily breakfast!!!! I know that if I mess up, I can always try again. I need to do what Pastor Benny Tate says, "Get rid of your stinky thinking and do a check up from the neck up!"

Day 1

I want to keep my commitment to myself-to exercise and stay healthy. Today is just as good as good as New Year's Day. So, today is day 1 of a my 90 day journey. I want to finish P90X and run a 10k. My toes end up holding me back, but I will try to keep this bargain!

I've been to the gym to do an hour spin class. Tonight, I look forward to starting day 1 of P90X. It will be a challenge, but I think I need to write this down so that I will be accountable.

Here's to a happy exercise journey:)!!

Santa hat pics

My oldest wanted a picture in the santa hat after trying to get little guy to smile. Even Ali wanted to do a handprint reindeer after doing little guy's handprints.

Our pictures went from this pouty face...

...to this excited face! I tried to capture his hysterical personality! I don't have quiet children...they are all full of life and talk to everyone. They know no strangers and are so completely different from me and my extreme shyness throughout school. I am so very thankful for each of my precious children!

A late Thanksgiving post!

I often forget to post, but here is a picture post of our Thanksgiving vacay in PCB with our wonderful family. It was the best visit yet! The kids swam at the beach, ate delicious food, enjoyed a birthday party, and celebrated Thanksgiving with family.

 We all enjoyed the beach house. It was steps away from the beach and a great place to have low country boil!

 Aiden enjoyed reading with his Grammie and playing with Abuelo!

Grammie and I enjoyed the morning runs! The last morning we chose not to run because it was extremely windy and cold!

A surprise birthday for a 15 year old was fun even when he ended up in the pool!

The beach is so much better when it is deserted during the fall and winter months!

Grampy and Aiden enjoyed each other!

Thanksgiving day was full of good food and family!

He's shoving huge chunks of pineapple into his mouth.

Aiden loved frisbee with his great-uncle Mike-dude!
