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.

One goal accomplished deserves a reward. spinning = fudge. but maybe just one piece. Really, don't get discouraged, and don't have so many goals you feel overwhelmed. For every thing there is a season.

Brooke, good job getting to the gym. I'd opt to just complain about never having time to go because of kids etc. Then I'd polish off the fudge and then wash it down with a diet coke, and consider the DIET coke as part of my effort to loose weight. So see, really, you're doing fantastic! :)

Reclaiming counter space. What would that look like at our house? A great goal indeed!
