Kirk is a Loser

I call Kirk Mr. Health now! He is walking 5 miles a day and does the elliptical at least 3 times a week for 20 minutes. I am still at 5 minutes on the elliptical because of my knees (I sound like my mom).

We are eating healthy by adding more fruits and veggies to our diet. Kirk is also watching portion sizes. He only drinks Diet Pepsi on the weekends.

The picture on the left was taken the end of January when we were in Florida. The picture on the right was just this morning. Kirk saw the Florida picture and said he looked pregnant. Then when he put that same shirt on this morning he could feel the difference. I just had to take a picture.

He is feeling and looking gooood!

The World According to Matthew

I call these Matthewisms and I just had to share because they make me laugh.

Adele: I just threatened to to have Grandma Dee Dee (great grandma) take Matthew to school
Matthew's response: How? She's SO OLD! 4.23.09

Matthew to Adele: I can't WAIT to be 9 years old. I'm going to be in the adult school in church. Isn't that SO COOL Auntie? 3.27.09

Matthew to Adele: Puppito (Matthew's dog) is a girl because my mom calls her princess and she really is Auntie. She acts like a spoiled princess! 3.31.09

Matthew to Michelle as they are getting into the car to go to preschool: Sorry for the bad word momma but the bag is in the way and I can't close my fricken belt! 2.12.09

Matthew went to California and all I got was this picture

Two of my favorite things.

Count Your Blessings

As the song goes:
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!

(Johnson Oatman, Jr. pub. 1897)

1. Family(yes, ALL of you)
2.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
3. Kirk
4. My job
5. All of my friends (you know who you are)
6. Our home
7. Facebook- I can talk to my friends and family daily (not just Mafia Wars)
8. Blogs- I can keep up with all of my long distant friends. Even the close ones.
9. Vacations (when is the next one?)
10. Weekends with the grandchildren
11. Omaha Zoo

As I get up each morning and get ready for the day I say, "Thank you." These are just a few of the things that I am always giving thanks for. With everything going on in the world today we need to focus on all of our blessing.
