So the temp was beautiful this weekend! Sunday we saw it get to about 40 degrees! A lot of people where out and about to enjoy it! Monday it was 53, then Tuesday we saw -27 with the windchill, and 30mph wind! Not enjoyable at all!
Mom and Dads openhouse on Sunday went well! The realtor stopped counting at 35 people! Holy cow! Thats a fabulous open house! hey have another this weekend!
Monday I came home from work to find Tim and Becca making a snowman! I haven't yet taken a picture, but will be sure to do so and post it. It was so cute to see her out there, all bundled up in her snow suit and helping tim! I got home just in time to help find rocks for the snowman's face!
CONGRATS to Tim....last night marked 2 weeks smoke free! We're proud of him!
Well, thats all I have to post about right now! I'll post more later this week!

Well, this is me...4.8 lbs lighter than last week! A little over 6 lbs lighter than 2weeks ago! Yay me! Finally the walking and eating right is helping. Now to just stick with it. After sampling (ok, it was a plate of samples) of wedding cake and mints from my cousin's wedding...I walked another 2 miles last night. 5 nights a week. I'm proud of that. Its a start.
Becca is still fighting a nasty sinus cold. I think I'm getting it. Not so fun.
Tim's doing AWESOME on the quiting smoking. Tomorrow night at 630 it will be 1 week smoke free! We're so proud of him. He's had a rough, stressful and exhausting week...what a test with him quiting. But he's handled it all well and he's doing great. He says he's not craving the nicotine at all. Its the triggers (getting in the car, after supper, being in stressfull situations)that are getting him.
Well, thats the update on us. There will be more to come this week I'm sure of it!

36 HOURS!!!
Yay Tim! Its officially been 36 hours since his last smoke. Thank God for Chantix! Its really helped with turning off those receptors so he's not wanting it as much and with the attitude! We are soooo proud of him!
BUT...I have strict orders..DO NOT ASK HIM ABOUT IT, OR TALK ABOUT IT TO HIM!
That goes for everyone else also. He prefers not to talk about it, cause it only makes him think about, then he wants one. So please don't ask or talk about him not smoking! *wink* Tim's orders!

Where did the weekend go?
Geesh! For being the first full week of work after the holidays (and even then, I had Thursday off)it was the longest week at work, and then seemed like the fastest weekend.
Friday night, I was happy to get together with the girls to scrapbook! And actually, I got there late and no one had started scrapping yet, and for the next 30 minutes, it was all catch up time! 2 of the girls used to work with us, but took new jobs now, and another has been on maternity leave. So as well all know us girls love to gab!
I didn't do any scrap booking, but I did organize all our photos from the last 12 years! That was quite a job! But I got it narrowed down from 3 overstuffed, overflowing shoe boxes, to 2 very organized and labeled photo boxes! I'm quite proud of myself. Some day, I'll do a wedding book, a pet book, and maybe even a fishing book!
Saturday morning, I was awakened by Becca wanting to wrestle in bed. For some reason, I think she had some coaxing from daddy!
I had my first weigh in on Saturday morning for this weight loss challenge. I was disappointed with my 2.5 lbs lost...but I was not surprised. I'm pretty sure the village in breakfast I had this week didn't help, or the 2 slices of pizza while scrap booking.
I checked today, to see what mine and my partners combined percentage lost was, and I'm pretty sure that it was all me. Not that she didn't lose, but I'm not sure that she weighed in yesterday. Hopefully I'll hear from her and we can support each other.
But I'm back on track now. I walked again for 45 minutes! I figured I walked 18-20 laps. (my speed varies and i lose track counting) But I know how long it takes me to make a lap. 7 laps is a mile, so I figured I walked 2.5 miles. I'll take that! Yay me! I must make it 3 more times this week. Thats my plan and I've got to stick to it!

I received an email today, asking if things had slowed down since the holidays, and I realized that they had, but Becca is keeping us busy enough that after she's down at night, we're either busy picking up and cleaning...or exhausted and sit on our tushy watching tv!
Well, Mom and Dad are busy cleaning out and organizing for their move to the Villa's! They have a move in date of April 15th! They are beyond excited. I've been helping go thru stuff, packing and making trips to Goodwill for them! Their realtor came by yesterday to start their paperwork on putting the house on the market. Looks ilke the first open house will be January 27th!
Becca is doing so well with not having a pacifier lately! She's only getting it at night time when she's in her crib. She's only asked for it a couple of times in the last couple of weeks. We're so proud of her!
We bought a Potty Chair with some of the christmas money she got. She's sat on it a couple of times, but has yet to "use" it. She asks to sit on the Big potty more often than not. One thing at a time, we're not rushing her. I know they start working with them in the 2 year old room, when she transistions in there in the next 2 months! I can't believe she will be turning 2 in just 2 short months! *sniff, sniff*
Tim's celebrated his 38th birthday on Tuesday night. We picked up Cody and went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. That was a test of the heathly eating plan! I did ok. Small steak, salad and veggies. Only a couple onion blossoms. I did have one roll, but skipped the butter. Oh yeah, came home and had birthday Angelfood cake with whip cream and strawberries! Back on track today!
Bought new walking shoes last night too. Time to start walking! I walked this week at Young Arena. I liked that. I have a friend who is going to make it a date with me to make it there 2-3 times a week! I need to stay on track!

Happy New Year!
I can't believe that the year is over! It must be true that time goes much faster after you have children! We know for sure that it does fly when your having fun! This last year has been so amazing for us! We've had more firsts this year with Becca, from the first Birthday party, to playing in the sandbox, to taking her dollies on walks down the block, talking, games, haircuts and playing in the pool! She definitely enjoyed the holiday's more this year and we had a blast seeing it all through her eyes! What a blessing she is!
Well, of course the new year always brings new opportunities and challenges. Together, we are going to work through them and work at bettering our lifestyles and health. I need to lose weight and tim is hoping to stop smoking. YAY!!!!! Neither of us want to tie it to a New Years resolution, for fear we won't even make it thru January without tripping up. So we are starting slowly and doing it when we are ready. Hoepfully that will be a better success story for the both of us. I have just joined a 6 week Weight Loss Challenge and hope that will jump start me and keep me on track with the weekly meetings!
Well, we have an early supper in the oven that I need to check on and Becca will be waking up from her nap soon. Tim's out chipping the ice. What nice "warmer" weather we've had this weekend. No sun of course, but its nice not being bitterly cold! Too bad the January Thaw doesn't last just a bit longer!
We'll check back in soon! Toodles!
