Minus 6

Last week I joined Weight Watchers. Ronnie and I doing it together. It has been a funny first week. We laughed together about things from "How MANY points is that" to Ronnie stating he didn't have enough points (p.s. he gets 13 more than I do - that is a whole meal) to Ronnie's steak at Applebees. It was only 4 oz. It would fit in my palm. I have never seen him eat a steak that small. It tasted good. He was satisfied when we left.

Last night was SCALE time. I had set a goal for my first week. I really wanted to lose 5 pounds. I guess I thought I was on the Biggest Loser and could pull big numbers. HA Well I weighed in and I lost 6 pounds. I almost shouted right there in the weigh in room. I know that I can't do that every week, but it sure felt good to loose that amount my first week. Ronnie also lost 6 pounds. I am so proud of us.

Jabber Jabber

Can't believe that it is already March.

We had a full month in Feb. My kids are keeping us busy. My mom's sister, Linda, passed away and got to see Shannon, Mike, Kohly and Kessa again.

On to March, Gage is suppose to play baseball this weekend. Our tournaments are gearing up. We are excited. The DirtBags are looking good. I am ready to see what they do in a game.

Kali is just Kali. She is growing up way to fast. She is about to give her daddy a heart attack. Her new thing is, she wants to wear the top part of her swimsuit under her clothes, because she needs a bra. I thought Ronnie was going to die when she told him that.

I will try to blog better than I have been. I have been busy, but nothing to blog about.

In full swing

Our life is in full swing (doesn't it stay that way)! School, baseball, dance, work!!

Gage is in full swing of baseball practice with the DirtBags. BOY! those boys on the team look great. I am ready to see them in a game. He still loves to back catch. This year the boys move up to live arm. They are learning how to pitch and doing a great job. Our first tournament is at the end of Feb. It will be cold, but fun!! He loves baseball. He don't care much for other sports, but he lives for baseball.

Kali loves dancing with Mrs. La-lyn (Lauren Richard). She thinks she should go to dancing everyday. I hope she does good in the recital. She is going to be a flower. She will start her routine in a flower pot. She looked so cute in her costume when she tried it on. She has a head piece that is petals I hope she wears it.

Ronnie and I are working and tending to the kids. We carried them bowling Friday night. It was Kali's first time. She had a fun time even though most of the time her ball went in the gutter. When we finally got the ball down the lane and she knocked pins down, she puts her hands in the air and shakes her hips and says "Go Kali Go Kali". She was so funny. Gage did real good bowling. He manged to get some strikes and was proud. Ronnie is the pro. He came in first place every time.

We are taking Gage and his friend, Price to see the monster trucks tomorrow. I have wanted to go for a long time. It always comes around my birthday weekend. Now I have a boy that wanted to go so I get to go. I hope that we have a good time.

So Funny!

Pam and I have been walking in the mornings (at 5:30 a.m.)for a couple of weeks now. But, Wednesday morning we had a funny thing happen to us that was NOT funny at the time. Like I said we walk early and most people are still in the bed at that time so we never see many people out in fact, we have only encounter 2 people leaving their homes. But Wednesday, we were working on our first lap and we got to the corner of Ash and Plum and this van turned on Ash. So we slowed up and waited -wanted to be sure that they saw us you know that the sun is not up at that time. Well, the van turned on Plum and it was a raggedy van. The interior light was on and someone was in the backseat of the van wearing a toboggan. There was no back bumper on this van and it kinda rattled. Anyways, we make our way around the curve on Ash and by the time we got back in front of Pam's house, here comes the van. It slows down (yes to go around the curve)she and I almost break into a run to get under her carport to get in the house anyways, Pam and I decide that it is not safe to walk. We only made one lap:(

I got home and tell Ronnie about it he says that is strange. I said we have never seen anything like that in her neighborhood. Meanwhile she is telling Scott about it . . . needless to say he has a hayday with it. He said, "Pam it is just the newspaper people" as he laughs. She calls me later and I vision her doubled over laughing to tell me who was in the van. So I call Ronnie to tell him that it was not a boogie man trying to get us that it was JUST the newspaper people. Well, if you know Ronnie you know what he did. He laughed hard than then the e-mails started between him, Pam and Scott.

We have had the biggest laugh about the newspaper van. Ronnie told Scott that you would think that we were house broke w/newspapers the way that we acted. He said that he was going to throw a newspaper at me when he got home. Although he didn't throw a newspaper at me he sure has had fun w/it. I don't know what Pam and I would have done if they had thrown a newspaper out close to us. (I am laughing out loud to myself as I type this)

It is funny now, but at 5:30 it was CREEPY! Now that we know that even the newspaper people run late we won't be scared the next time we see this older model, raggedy van w/no bumper coming our way.

Oh what fun it is to . . .

Kali trying, but she didn't like it. She did not have control of her own feet. She loved standing at the entrance to the rink and watching us. We took turns skating and sitting with her.

Ronnie never did fall and this was his first time to ever be on ice skates. He is a pro. Yes I hit the ice, but only 2 times. One time I landed on the hip and thought that I cracked my hip. LOL.
Here is the "PRO". He got out there and skated like it was nothing to it. He skated for 2 hours. He got so good that he just sped around the rink. Look out Olympics here he comes. I was waiting to see him jump and spin.

Time has flown by . . .

Kali had a dress up party for her 3rd birthday. I can't believe that she is almost three. She had a blast with her friends. They had fun playing in the dress up clothes and beads and hats and etc. She was given some make up so they enjoyed that also. Kali got a bicycle from her Nana and Papaw. She needs to learn how to peddle. I think Ms. Dalton was the only one there that could actually ride by herself. We pushed the rest around the room.

Ronnie's Birthday!

Today is Ronnie's birthday so I had to try out some of my new cake skills. I tested my free handing skills. He was proud of it and that is what counts. I hid the cake in our room so that he would not see it until it was time for his birthday supper. He has great in laws (I think so anyways) they brought him Tommy's catfish for his supper. The cake was his only surprise for the day from us. He had already gotten his video camera and played w/it. My parents gave him the neatest fire station. It lights up and make the sirens and other sounds.
