London

Luke and I
popped down
to London
together
for the afternoon.

We went for
a quick trip,
just the two
of us.

It has
given me
more courage
to possibly
go away for a
little longer
with just Luke.

Thanks to our
good friends
for watching
all of our kids : D


Family Walk

Good weather in England!

When the weather
is nice here,
you HAVE
to take advantage
of it!

It may be
gone before you
know it,
for a long time.













We thought this
was really funny!

Then our friend
told us tipping
actually means littering
in England.

Legoland!



The family
went to Legoland
for the boys
birthday's.

We went with some
good friends
here :)







TWO!

TWO!



Brooke is
our little fire
cracker, ha!

She has
given us nearly
2 years of "peace".

Lately she has
really grown into
herself.

She is one
of the busiest little
girls I know!

We love her
spunk
and
how she's
keeping us
young and
on our toes!

She LOVES
her new little
sister
and always
wants to take
good care of her :)

She loves jumping
in the fun with the boys.
Going on the trampoline
with them,
and just trying
to keep up
with her older
brothers.

She is an
animal
lover,
loves going
outside to play,
and is completely
fearless!

She is also extremely
independent and knows
what she wants!

We
love
*every*
*single*
*thing*
about
Brooke!

Happy 2nd
Birthday
Boogie!




7 Already?

LJ turned 7 this month!
Wow!


What a fun filled
and happy
7 years
we've had with LJ!

LJ is what we like
to call our little, old man :)
He is far more
responsible
and wise
then myself
and Luke : D
LJ is a wonderful older
brother and a delightful son!
Always ready to protect
and take care
of the younger ones.
LJ loves soccer (playing
and watching),
playing outside and
playing pokemon
on his DS.
He loves his family!
He talks about
his cousins
and aunts,
uncles, grandparents
and you can sense his
love for all of them!
He is very helpful
around the house
and a very good kid!

Our love for LJ
is endless and
over the top!
We
*love*
*LJ*
to
*pieces*
!!!!
Happy 7th Birthday!

Mitt Romney Has My Vote!

I just saw this and thought it looks
exciting!
I think most people
in the USA
are looking for some
economic stability.
I believe Mitt Romney
has the experience and knowledge our
economy needs to
be put on the right path
to economic recovery and prosperity.
Bring it on
Mitt Romney!




His picture is from this link:

Are you a Romney supporter?

Regardless of candidates
and politics,
I have to say what has been
said countless times. 
Not just to repeat something
for the fun of it.

I have always had strong
convictions about
the freedoms and great
opportunities in the USA.


God Bless
the USA!!



The great photo was found on the above link.

One of Those Days



Have you ever had "one of theose days"
where you're doing a
million things at once,
the babies are screaming
and you have to be out the door?

I made sure not to forget
anything
at all today...

can you spot the
unforgotten item?

To Be A Kid!


Just doing the morning
dishes and I came across
this "finished" bowl of cereal.

Is it just me, or does this
make you want to
be a kid again?

Did you figure out
which cereal this is yet?

-.8

It's Monday!
AKA weekly weigh-in
"Funday"...

...or not so fun,
when the number
doesn't even reach
negative one.

Curiosity, excitement
to see if my hard work has
produced any enlightenment!

The day is new
and the week too,
what will the blessed
scale do?!

Step on up
to speculate,
while I wait
to see the dreaded
-.8!

THAT AIN'T SO GREAT!

MAD!
SAD!
Why is it
this bad?!

280+ minutes
of jogging
and 7 days of
religious
food logging
have now sadly
left me blogging.

Anger is gone,
I have now moved on.

It is what it is.
I cannot let it affect the day.
Because then the kids would pray,
for their mom to stop acting full of dismay.
Everything is going to be okay!

You see,
I am free!

I can choose to be sad
or mad.
I can also choose to be happy
and glad.

I choose to be happy.
What's the point
of being mad?
It only makes you and everyone feel bad!

Hard work everyday
little by little, will soon add up
and fill your cup.

Our final goals will be reached.
Of course, you probably don't
need it to be preached.

Just stick with it,
stay strong
and you will find
things start to move along.

Use motivation
and
determination.
You will need to cope
and use hope.

A
strong mind
will also come in handy
and make you feel dandy
when you eventually find...

...a loss of that massive be-hind.

sincerely,
Fronica x


The above picture is from:
I don't actually know much about that
website.  I looked at it for a couple
seconds.  It says it's free,
but I didn't test it out to
see if it was true.
It could be worth looking at.

I personally like:

It has great tools.
You can enter in
your current weight,
then you put your goal weight.
It gives you a suggested date
to reach your goal.
It is also free!
Go have a look
for yourself.

If you have an iphone 
you can search for and add an app that is
a calorie counter, if you are
 more of a technology person
this method may suit you.

I'm very old fashioned and just
stick with a small notebook
and a pen!

A page from my food log
looks something like this:

H20: III  

Banana: 100
1/4 c. oats: 75
activia: 65
etc.

I add it up as the day 
goes on.  I put tally marks for
each bottle of water I've drank.
I aim for 4-5 bottles a day. 

Good luck to anyone
working towards a goal :)
 Summer is just around the corner
but there's still time to reach that goal!
In fact, there's always time to reach it.

Five

Kyle,
you make us smile,
nearly every day,
with the things that you say.

This is true,
I didn't use the word
"smile"
only to rhyme
with "Kyle",
it sincerely
fits your profile.

Strong.
Helpful.
Sharp.
Joyful.
Loving.
Cuddler.
Loveable.
Tough,
and
*maybe*
even
a tad
bit
rough?
: D

All those words
and many,
many more
simply
add to your score.

You are a star,
and you are going
far.
IF
you always
remember
who you are.

Happy 5th Birthday.
We love
*every*
*single*
*thing*
about 
YOU!

Love,
Mom x
