Todd and his SUGAR addiction

O.k. Let me know if this is just me. At lunch today I am slowing sipping on my tomato soup (really trying to loose weight you know)...and...then...there is Todd sipping on his Cup of Noodles with BROWN SUGAR! I thought that it looked gross. I mean do you need sugar in everything??? He said yummmmmmm, Heidi, this is SO good. I don't know about him sometimes!

Today I am starting AGAIN with being healthy and losing weight. I have a friend that is weighing in with me and we set our goals together. Now only if she did not live 2 hours away. Though I do have a couple of walking partners set up that are in our ward. I hope to get to know them better! I am a pretty shy person, but walking is something that I love and it helps me to open up. It will be nice to have some friends in the ward. So I by April 23 I hope to have lost 8 pounds and I am HIDING my scale. That's right no weigh In's for a month. This is going to be HARD to not peek! Wish me luck!

Random thoughts

Spring Break for us has meant a lot of spring cleaning. Not that fun for the kids, but it needed to be done! Today I cleaned out the garage and guess what now we can park in there. AMAZING!!! I am still trying to figure out the whole clipping coupon thing...and have decided that I really need to break down and buy a printer. I know...who doesn't own a printer...well me and we also don't have cell phones. We are really out of the loop. I just can't see the point in another bill! It's all good though!

Noah and Morgen FINALLY showing some LOVE!!!

I love this because it is such a rare moment in our house. Normally the fighting seems to never cease. I was so happy to catch this moment. Thanks boys for giving me a break from the fighting!!! I really hope I can get through their teenage years!

Mariah's blog!

O.k I just got done making Mariah's blog...I succumbed to her begging. I will not be able to provide my kids with cell phones or an ipod, but I can give them blogs! She loves it and if you all have a chance to check it out do so. It is set to private for her safety and also she she can add pictures. I am an overprotective mom sometimes. Please let me know if you are interested and I will invite you. I think this will act as a kind of journal for her. She has some songs that she LOVES that she put on and is learning to type and use the punctuation mark on the keyboard. It is proving to be a great learning experience for her. Now Noah wants one, but I told him that Mariahs is a trial run for us. So maybe down the road...way down the road!
