Little Blessings

I did my weigh in today and lost 3.5 lbs! I'm excited even if it's not much. I'm now at 179.something. I'm just glad it was a loss instead of another gain. I will continue to keep working out and trying new things to keep me interested in exercise. I'm enjoying the excercise ball and yoga/pilates. I've also done some jumping rope, which I remember being so much easier when I was a kid. At least I'm doing something though right?

As for our family goal of saving up for summer vacation we're doing ok. We've added some and borrowed some from the pot. Whatever we do borrow I try to put back in. I'm also trying to come up with a backup vacation plan that we all like just in case we can't save up enough. I have the time off of work so that's not the issue. I just want to do something fun.

Kaijsa is working on finishing the Book of Mormon before New Beginnings in February so she can get her Medallion. She is almost done. I'm so proud of her. She is also getting much better at the piano.

Kaitlyn is doing well in school but needs to focus a bit more on Spanish. She has the opportunity to work for violin lessons and is considering doing this. I think it's a great idea. The teacher even offered to let me work as well and take lessons with her. I may just do that.

Kamden turned 4 and I've noticed some calming down but not a lot. But every little bit is nice. :) He's such a sweet brother. So caring and loving.

Kinsee Belle is doing well. She is working on getting potty trained. This is going much slower than with Kamden but she is trying. She loves to go in the toilet and get a sticker for each of her successes.

Kaileigh is rolling over and sitting up. She is talking more and laughing lots. She even stood up holing on to her chair the other day and took a step. I think she'll walk and skip crawling. If she does crawl I don't think it will be for long. She's a sweetie.

Kira is in UT and saving up for Girl Scout Camp. She is doing well in Basketball.

We're all holding up ok. We'll just keep working on our big and little goals.
