Sugar

Sugar.

So.

My first race is coming up in April.

I haven't done a race since before I got pregnant with the twins.

This one is a half marathon.

So.

I'm trying to do without.

SUGAR.

To get my weight down.

A mom of three trying to do without sugar.

I was doing really really well, until this last week and weekend. 

When kiddos were sick and off of school.

So.

Now I'm back and trying to stick with not having sweets.

Not an easy discipline, especially for a mom on the go.

I have some fun pictures to post, but not much time right now.

Hope your having a great Monday.

i think i can. i think i can. i think i can.

My Valentine & Sugar cookies on a "stick"

I blog a lot, but don't talk about my wonderful husband as much as I should.

"I have a GREAT husband."

I just LOVE him so much.

I am so blessed.  God knew exactly what I needed. 

Marriage is not easy, but God really does know what is best for us.

Friday mid day I received the most beautiful roses EVER.

CRAZY.

Thank you honey what a "treat" to have such beautiful roses in the house.

Every Valentines day we make sugar cookies for teachers, neighbors and friends.
This year we turned them into sugar cookies on a "stick"

Now we have to do it in three parts due to our crazy life.
PART I

PART II

PART III

Happy Valentines Day!

Stickers. Not Exactly.

Do I need to say anything about these two photos?

The flu...and goldfish...

We were so healthy for SO long...not braggging...it's just been a better year for us than the last two...

We had one with a fever last week, one Saturday, then Sunday

then,

unfortunately, me on Monday.
All with the flu, the yucky icky flu.

Bummer.

I am the worst sick person. I just hate being sick. 
I just want to keep going and exercising. 

I'm also trying to get geared up and loose weight for the Santa Cruz half in April.
So.
This is a minor setback for that event as well.
O'well.

On another note:)
I attended a dinner last Friday for the children's ministry at church.  On each table they had a center piece with three or four real goldfish. After the dinner they welcomed us to take the fish home.  I thought about it and the fact that we still don't have any animals.  So.
I went for it and stopped by target on the way home to get a cool jar and food.
The kids were SO excited.  They gave us a bunch of goldfish i think we ended up with six. 
To make a long story really short in less than 36 hrs all six died. 
O'man.
Sunday morning we were laying in our bed listening to the kids in the bathroom.
"where did all the fish go?" 
Taryn, "they died"
Nolan, "no died"
Dylan, "sad all the goldfish died and this one is dead to, we need to put it it the toilet...pause..i can't flush it let's let mommy do it...."
O'it was so sad.
So we ended up getting just one fish more at the pet store a "hearty" little fish that would last longer.
Her name is "goldie" after the goldfish, but not a goldfish and she is actually "blue".
TOO funny.
Anyway.
That's all for now.
I know i need some pictures, but we have been so under the weather.
