Happy Birthday Miss Sage!
Sage is three! Yay! We had a great Birthday party the the little stink. There were hearts, and balloons and pink streamers everywhere. she had all of her little friends over. We had cupcakes and presents and then we went to the swimming Pool and played. it was a great day for her.

Later that night we had a family party where Daddy could be there. I think she had a really great day and was spoiled.

So okay back to blogging about the circuits.... day 2 seemed to be a bit easier and 3 was even better day four I was so sore that I thought I could get all my lunges in and my end parts were screaming. Seriously I think I might have heard them lol. day 5 after the purchase of Icy Hot life was good again. And then on saturday I took a break I know I m not suppose to but I needed it.
Mon I started working out at the gym while a friend watches my kiddos and that was nice, but then of course I get my new gym pass and then sweat the day away in the gym and I turn up sick two days later. I am not really surprised by this, but seriously ugg. Then my Kids follow with the sick bug. Work outs have been put on the back burner a bit. I am still doing something everyday and watching what I eat but ( Ugg I hate but). But it is not were it needs to be. Disappointing is an understatement. I have lost 5 more lbs so thats some thing to show.... Yay Anyway its been crazy.

Okay~ well day one (yesterday) was UMMMM fun is that the right word? No No more Like brutail. Yes that sounds more accurate. Well anyway I got through it. Many thanks need to go out Areosmith, Red Hot Chili Pepers, U2 and Beyonce and the dear persons who invented the water bottle, and icy hot how do I love you. And the playdough makers of the world who entertained my kids for hours ( who cares about the mess right?) you need some props too.
So eating.... well I cheated I did have one treat I ate a baby york Pattie but the rest was good. Now Lets see if I can carry my end parts down to the basement aka mom's work room, and do it all over again.......

SIX WEEKS OF CIRCUITS.
Lets see if I can finally reach my final weight loss goal. I am going to do the six week training with circuit intervals and running 3 min in between and then for a little cool down some palates afterward.I also have got to kick this holiday treat thing out the window. So here it goes. I will be posting my progress and maybe a few scarey pictures or two ,to keep my self updated on the progress. This is mostly for my benefit but hey if you find it entertaining for updates on my pain.... there will be a lot of that them feel free to read along. Here we Go day ONE.

Gabe and his new drawing table. Santa thought he needed a place to do his homework and draw that did not involve GIRLS



Karlie and Sage and the cutest tea table ever.
Now they can play kitchen, house baby dolls and what ever to the best of there ability. They really love it if you could have heard all the squeals and screams over it. They played tea party though out all of the opening presents. It was so much fun.


The Girls got new matching jammies of course and they loved them and oh so cute in them.
Gabe and his new polar bear PJ's were a hit as well.








Travis and Gabe gave each other Nerf guns, which by the way hurt when being shot at, at close range..... Travis!!!!!







Karlie giving a Gabe a hug for the 10th time he was so over it and she was so excited she kept telling us Merry Christmas all day long....and telling us that this was the best Christmas EVER. What a sweetheart she is.
It really was a great morning. We cleaned up a bit and had our Christmas morning breakfast casserol. Shortly after we put in the movie UP that Sarah and Chuck gave us. (thank You) And Trav and I went back to bed and didnt get up until 11:00 Holy buckets what a slacker. We played Uno Moo and Connect 4 with the kids and had lunch and sat around in out PJ's ALL DAY!!!!! It was very nice. Hope you all had a great Christmas as well.

Merry Christmas everyone. We had a very different Christmas this year. It was just the five of us. In the past we have always had some sort of family with us or us with them.
Anyway different.
On Christmas eve we all went to a friends house and had dinner. then came home. Gabe was so excited that Santa was coming some how they ended up in bed and asleep before we could read the christmas story and give them there jammies Christmas presents. Odd. So they all went to bed. But gabe stayed up in his room yelling at me to go to bed so that Santa would come. I told him that Santa doesn't come to dirty house and that i needed to clean it.
So Trav and I played santa and put tables together and wrapped and filled stockings.... We finally got to bed around 1ish and were wiped out.
Around 6:15 ish Gabe came yelling in our room that Santa came and turned the lights on UGGGGGG then proceeded to wake his sisters up. I ground and pulled the covers over my head. Trav was in such a comotsoed state that I dont think he even noticed any of it. After waking his sisters up he came back into our room and was jumping and yelling on the bed. So Trav and I slowly stumbled down the hall to the family room and through our bodies that had aged 50 years in one night to the couches. the girls played with the tea table that Santa had left and the tea set and Gabe bounced around asking if he could open his stocking. I said sure and then thought to my self why did they have to take after me how annoying. After about 45 min Trav and I finally woke up enough to get the camera out and start opening presents. It was so fun and magical. we had so much fun trying on jammies and hugs and kisses and thank yous and gapes at what St. Nick had brought. It was a wonderful morning.

The best four things in my life..... take time for the little things that is what I am trying to do as of late... take time to watch them laugh, listen to them play hide and go seek, to go get ice-cream and eat it on the swings. I want to remember this, it is the best time in my life. Right now!
