Cardio Drumming

Since the second week in January I have been doing weight watchers and exercising.  Started at Dance Zone on Sundays doing RIPPED, added in Cardio Drumming on Tuesdays, and now have started Orange Theory.  After sore legs, and a few tears I am down 18 lbs and feeling great.  Sam has even tried out drumming with me.  Great times! 

Sams room....urgh

 this girl is a mess....but she plays so much in her small room I guess its to be expected....but sometimes I wonder if it will ever just stay clean.

Caberfae

What a fun weekend.  Family trip up to Cadillac!  Dad, got us a fantastic Condo (Sunnyshores).  We all had a great time...even if it was a bit icey!

Winter sickness

It didn't hit us hard!  Some schools closed this year because of sickness.  Its the worst year for the flu.  Tyler was out of school only one day and so was Sam.  However, between one snowday, a couple sick days and midwinter break we didn't go to school much in January/February.  Now, we are ready for Spring Break and sunshine.

Ski Club

Tyler is loving ski club.  LOVES IT

lucky for Samantha and I, Mr. Oles gave my a chaperone pass.  So, her and I ventured out to practice before our big weekend up in Caberfae.

Tyler thanked me 1000 times that night.  

Snowmobiling on a Tuesday

Just a quick Tuesday night trip.  Only a couple hours...enough that the kids were happy.

Father Daughter Dance

This was going to be the last.  So, we went all out.  

 Of Course, it was chicken coup for dinner for Dad and Sam
Tyler and I hit applebees and then rented a movie.
