Andy's room....

Decided to stay home this weekend from snowmobiling.

Al's Dad had a small heart procedure this past Wednesday and between wanting to let him rest and the extreme cold weather we decided to stay home this weekend.

Off to Ikea we went on Saturday and picked up two bookcases and two dressers - all in white for Andy and a black dresser for Chris.....

Three hours later Al has the white one assembled - off to do Chris's now.

interesting site to check out

Okay all you resolution makers, we've got another one for you. If "get organized" is on your list for 2009, you have to try this new, *free*, online organization site. It's called cozi.com, and it makes organizing your family's activities easy as pie. Pie you're not going to eat because of that "eat healthier" resolution, right? Good. It's day 3 and you're still sticking to your list. Good job.

3rd day in January!

The maiden voyage - robs first snowmobile trip with his brand new snowmobile license!!!

Poor Rob - on the way home the steering shaft broke - had to get the trailer to get it off of the side of the trail.

Chris has his fav girl up here and have been snowmobiling and watching "Lost". Tonight they went out in the cold - minus 10 - brrrr.

Have been trying to make some smarter food choices and looking forward to getting on the scale on Tuesday morning.

Breakfast: two small pancakes and one slice of bacon - orange juice and coffee.

snack two handful peanuts

Dinner - chilly and salad - small handful of cheese and some sour cream - should have passed on the sour cream though - dessert was a small serving of apple crisp and ice cream.

Was a good girl and passed on the chocolates!!! Yeah me - it is a start!

Happy 2009!

Well another year finished and a New Year starting.

Was not particularly happy with 2008 but can chalk it up to life lessons and personal growth.

Looking forward to starting fresh - a chance to make some changes......Do have a few hurdles to jump through with regards to my Mom's health next week and not looking forward to a negative outcome, but if it is....will have to deal with it then.

Spent the night north with the family and a low key New Years - even if we did go to bed @ 3am.

Mom-in-law made home made perogies for our first dinner of 09! Yummy - I was a good girl and only had four - was hard to resist going back for more - the butter an onions are my favorite.

Chris brought up his favorite girl for the weekend and took her for her first snowmobile ride - came back with red cheeks and cold toes but thinking she enjoyed herself!!

All last week hubs and middle son spent ever night out in the garage working on his snowmobile. It is all done and wow does it zip along.

So far for 09 I have been tired - went to bed @ 3am - up at 10 and look at me - 7pm and cant keep my eyes open..... Yikes
