going private...

I'll be going private, I think because Jim read some scary article about it, and I googled myself and it was on the web mulitple times, so I'll figure out how to invite you all to our blog!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We had a nice day, good weather, great food. I cooked our ham in the crock pot for the first time, and although it tasted amazing, it fell apart like a pot roast, so therefore I thought it was wierd and refused to eat anymore. The kids enjoyed their baskets, and I managed to make it the whole day without any chocolate. Absolutely unheard of! I did make up for it by eating everything else.... I know I have blogged about food alot lately, maybe I do have an unhealthy relationship with it..
Back to Easter, it was a great day after church. Before church was one rough morning. Why on Easter of all days?
In other news.... Kimrie starts the process for braces on Tues.. Hopefully all will go well there. Mallory is busy being a very important first grader, and Abigail and I are planning her cheerleader birthday party!

Another Florida pic

I just thought I'd post this pic in front of the Orlando Temple. It was so beautiful, especially at night! We had a really fun picnic on a H.S football field nearby, and played with the kids, It was awesome!

Must... Stop... Eating....

I can't stop eating today, someone must help me. I haven't eaten chocolate for months now, but I still replace it with skittles. I did this in Seattle too, a complete overdose of skittles. They are not even that good. Another sad thing is that I've been doing awesome on eating and running lately, why do I have to ruin it? Just a thought, It may have to do with all the barfing going on all night at our house, I just need a little pick me up. Those nights you spend doing laundry and cleaning floors, beds, etc really make you appreciate healthy kids. Sick days are the worst. Of coarse the culprit is fit as a fiddle today, no harm done, except to my weight!!! Stress eaters unite!

The Devil uses Aveda...

So I quit my job last week..... I finally felt the need to escape Satan(my boss) and live a happy life. If I began to tell you all the things he did, it would take all day, so I am happily free, and home!! Yay! Now, I've got to figure out when and where I'll do hair, perhaps at home....

Clearwater beach

Here we are on the last day of our vacation at Clearwater beach Florida. It was such a beautiful day, 80 degrees and a breeze.

It's been awhile

So it's been awhile for, me it sounds like everyone had great holidays! Ours was nice too. Very, very lazy. We visited good friends and family, the highlight of which was seeing our brand new nephew, and sitting outside in our friends hot tub when it was 2 degrees outside.
As far as gifts go, we got a wii like everyone else, although ours was found in Portland by my trusty brother Erik. A big huge thanks to him! My favorite game is golf. I really want to buy Tiger Woods golf for the wii. On that note, about 2 weeks ago, I found $100 in my wallet. It was a nice surprise, it was for Christmas shopping and I forgot about it. For the first time in our marriage, I wanted to do something responsible with it, and Jim said he wanted it. Here is our conversation.." Hey look at this, I found money!!" _Inger "Here just give it to me"-Jim:"Why?! No way, I found it!"-Inger " I need it, just give it to me" -Jim "WHY?!!!"- Inger getting irritated. " I have an idea, just hand it over!" "Why? I don't think so, we should use it for something responsible!"- Inger
"I wanted to surprise you with Dance Dance Revolution!"-Jim " okay" Inger
that's how much I enjoy the wii.
Also for Christmas we are taking a trip to Disney World. We are really excited, we'll go in 2 weeks!!
so that is the excitement here, Jim was able to experience Christmas break on a whole new level, he remarked many times how happy he was that school was starting again.
