Gabe is my new personal trainer LOL


So today I got up earlier and had breakfast and went to do my palates DVD. Well its the harder version and I was almost done. I was on one knee and one hand on the ground while my other leg was straight out to the side doing side kicks. If you think this does not sound hard try it, it is. And if its no prob for you, more power to you. Anyway Gabe is watching me do this and he says to me. "Mom you are doing that wrong." And I am like "oh really huh" and so he gets his little sleepy bum off the couch and straightens my leg from behind. And of course I fall over. He laughs at me shakes his head and says "oh Mom." So I get back up and finish and he decides to tell me "Mom you need to practice that." LOL Man he really knows how to bust my chops. So if anyone needs a little help I know just the little man to call.

High school Musical 3 is the devil okay not really but It is keeping me from going to the gym this morning. So we rented it for Karlie and YES she loves it. But She wouldn't go to bed so she is soooo crabby I can't even believe it. I Got everybody up and going this morning and it was all pretty smooth and by the time I got to the gym and to drop the kids off she had a crazy melt down I mean they had to come and get me because she would not calm down GRRR Only 20 min on the eliptical is not enough!!!! So I had to take them home. And now I am bugged!!!!

An update. I don't think anyone checks this anymore but I will update y'all anyway.
Well we moved to Meeker CO. A cute little town population 2500 or there abouts. I Love Living here, happier than I thought I would be. We have finally kind of settled into our groove after a month. I love that there is a Rec center here. I go there every day and work out. Trying to loose those pounds i have never before. The girls come with me they love the tots time. (the day care). Gabe is in School and like it alright. he is having the hardest time adjusting. I thought it would be no problem but he will get there just have to be consistent. Well maybe he won't then. LOL
Anyway Travis really likes his job and I guess from other sources they really like him as well. I like where we live the house needs a woman's touch but there is no problem there. i have painted the girls room pink and in the process of painting the old dresser and table white. I got then on the side of the road for Pennies he he I will post pictures later. Then its on to the beds.
I have already painted the ugg brown mantel white and the out of date brassy fireplace guard a nice black. it looks fresh and clean. So I am projecting away and loving it and become addicted to the gym as well. now all I need is to get rid of my addiction to this Computer and get some more projects done.

Well i will post some picture Its been for ever so here are a few.
the first are of thanks giving and that is Uncle Matt getting tackled by the kids. It was so funny.

This last weekend we decided to go on a mini Fishing adventure to McDonald lake. We caught some fish and took some pictures. This a Grizzly bear refuge so I was a little nervous to just let the kids wonder. And sure enough we saw some great big bear tracks down in the mud by the water where we got out. Crazy. There were also some big Elk tracks. Which is amazing. I love that I live in Montana and that I can see these places just miles away. Anyway we took a bunch of pictures. Not bad for a timer picture A.

We miss you Daddy


Travis is gone to Idaho once again. He has been there almost all summer long helping his parents build there home in McCammon Idaho. We sure miss him here at home and we can't wait till he is home with us where he belongs.

Two down one to go!!!!


My Little stinker has finally decided it would be alright if she was potty trained. After months and months of trying I decided to take my sister inlaws advice and just let her be until she let me know that she was ready. I haven't done anything. She told me she wanted to wear pannies. So I put them on and she has gone every time. In stores and coming in from outside and everything. I am so Proud of my Stubborn little red. So she will be getting her ears pierced soon. That was are bargin in the beginning. And she is going to hold me to it. Yeah!!!

Soccer

Well School has started for the little man. And he has started to play soccer. I actually have ended up being the soccer coach. We will see how it goes and if Gabe likes to be bossed my his mom.

A few weeks ago Travis' parents and his sister Hollie came and visit and we had so much fun, Gabe had so much fun with his cousin Joshua and loved loved having his Grandpa around. They were only here for two days but we had great fun. Sage had a fun time kicking it with Adam and Karlie loves her Aunt Hollie and her Grandma. We all had a great time and laid back.
Hey everyone, my sister wanted me to do this blog and so I thought why not.

We just recently moved from Winston-Salem, NC to St.Ignatius, MT, my hometown. We are living just a hop skip and a jump from my parents house and just a stones throw from the beautiful Mission Mountains. We Love it here. It is so nice to be in laid back country life again.
Travis and I will have been married for 8 years this summer. I can't believe that time has flown by so fast. Travis is building homes on Flathead Lake with Blue Mountain Construction.
I am a stay at home mom, We have three kids, Gabriel who will be 5 July 1st. Karlie Lynn who will be 3 at the end of August, and or Baby Sage who is not really a baby anymore. She is one.
We are very excited about the up coming summer. It will be really nice not to have the humidity.
I am busy trying to get Gabe ready for school, and want to find a place where I can get my kids into swimming lessons.

Well this will have to do for now
