Cold and Snowy

It has been really cold and snowy here and I am always freezing. Down in the office it really is like going to the Artic I think. I just wanted to post some pictures. Today I painted our hallway downstairs, talk about a 2 year project. Things like this are finally getting to me so I am managing to do them. It is a really nice feeling to get things done. I also made Reagan a new bed set but I can't take a picture right now so I will have to do that later. It is cute.

Crazy?

So...I am a little crazy but that is not what this is all about.  Call it crazy, a goal, resolution or whatever you like but I am going to make more of an effort to save money and change my spending habits in any way that I can.  

Yesterday, Brian came home from his basketball game and I was in bed cutting coupons.  He said he had never seen me do that before.  I really haven't.  The only time I would clip a coupon was if I saw a diaper coupon or whatever.  I am really serious.  I am going to see what I can do over the next few months and I will report later.  I have added a link called saving money if you want to look.  I think that it will show a blogger profile and then give a list of different blogs you can look at.  Some of them are a little obsessed.  Who knows, I may become one of them.  Anyway,  you can leave your thoughts  or ideas.

They are in bed!

My kids are in bed so lucky you I am going to post.  Christmas was super fun.  We went to the cabin with Brian's family on Christmas Eve.  On our way their it started snowing  and didn't stop until the day after Christmas.  A total of 31 inches.  It was so fluffy that we went to sled and the sled sinked so that was no fun.  Reagan had fun.  On Christmas morning everyone was awake except for Reagan so we woke her up.  She took a minute to warm up and the first thing she said was "Grandpa has scary hair".   She was really fascinated with just one gift and then would slowly move to the next present.  Jaxon really could have cared less.  So...he got formula, baby food, bibs, and shirts.  Pretty exciting huh?  

Jaxon is doing a lot better.  He is happier at lots of moments and still loves to be held.  He despises Reagan a lot because she torments him.  Every now and again he gets the best of her and pulls her hair.  It makes her really mad but I encourage it to get even.

Life is busy as always.  Brian is the YM President and he keeps busy almost too busy with that and basketball.  I told him he has too many nights that he is gone.

I decided that this year is a year of reclaimation.  Meaning, I am reclaiming my counters...basically just cleaning them off!  I have lots of goals and am starting to get  back to the gym.  Today I decided I am my own worst enemy.  I went to Spinning class, came home complained to Brian that it took my forever to finally break a sweat after adding lots of resistance cause it was all old guys who could look at a bike and break a sweat.  Then after I complained I had fudge and crackers and starchy chicken pot pie.  Hello  Brooke that is really going to help you lose weight.  But yet I didn't stop, I had another piece of fudge.
