It's Been A While...

I just noticed that almost a month has passed since my last post! January flew by, which makes me happy; summer couldn't come fast enough for me. All of you that know me, know that I am a warm weather girl. Although I loved the snow, I was ready to fast forward to Spring & Summer as soon as we rang the new year in. I have been craving the smell of freshly mowed lawns and neighborhood BBQ's. Soon, right?

We have managed to stay busy as usual. I am proud to say that after 4 years of prodding and whining, I have FINALLY turned Toby into a runner! Careful what you wish for...I have created a monster! It is hilarious and I am so proud of him. He has been committed to running at least 5 nights a week, if not 6. He has lost 15pds and is close to catching my speeds! He will end a run and tell me how fast he ran and I make myself go just a little faster. No way will I let him catch me! It's been great to have that support and motivation. I'm a competitive person so it keeps me on track. We also have completely overhauled our diets. I have lost some weight, but I completely relate to the SlimQuick commercial where the guy loses all kinds of weight barely trying and the woman has to work her ass off! That's OK. Our goal is health. The boys join in also! It's been fun and I hope we can stay motivated to continue!

Logan is in the middle of his basketball season. He is such a little stud out on the court. While the boys are athletic and are good at everything they try, basketball is definitely Logan's sport. It is so cute to watch. My brother Miah watched his game last Saturday and couldn't believe how good he was. He was impressed! We just bought a new camcorder and recorded his game last weekend so I will try out my electronic skills and post a clip so you can all witness the next Chris Weber (well, a white version) :)

I am going to end this post with my news that saddens my heart to talk about. My brother Miah and his family decided to take an adventure and move to Lake Havasu, Arizona. As much as I admire him for having the courage to take a leap of faith and do something he has wanted to do for as long as I can remember, I will miss them so much. I love my little Ashlynn and Hayden! I'm starting to get teary eyed so I will end this with a wish for them to be safe and I hope it is all they hope it will be. They deserve it.

Till next time...Sandy
