Fun in the Snow!

Ok I am ready to play in the snow now.


Hey Momma this is a lot of fun!

Snow Day!

Harrison was less then amused by the snow! He LOVES watching the snow fall but HATES to be snowed on. ALso not a fan of being all bundled up...



Harrison was a trooper for our three block walk to our friends house, Megan and Brad and their daughter Emily. I think it helped that it had stopped snowing when we ventured outside, and I carried him the whole way...

30 Vegas style

Going to Vegas was a great way to celebrate my 30th birthday! We didn't win any money but we loved walking the strip and eating some great food!

Our hotel

On my birthday we took the monorail to visit the Stratosphere. I loved seeing the city from above!


Thanks Amanda (and Matt) for meeting us in Vegas! We had a wonderful time gabbling, drinking and eat too much!


Four floors of M&M's...yummy!

Set back

So I knew going to Weight Watchers this morning that I most likely gained weight over the last week but I was not quite prepared for gaining 2.8 pounds! I decided to then stay for the meeting instead of leaving right after my weigh-in. I was really glad I did! The leader focused on what has been our accomplishments over the past year and addressed that December is a hard month for so many people. Therefore I am not dwelling on my weight gain but on my accomplishments in 2011-

I have lost 15 pounds since September!
I love going to Boot Camp! I never ever thought that sentence would come from me!
I am healthy and happy!


Here's to a better week ahead and staying focused!

Christmas time 2011

A couple weeks before Christmas my moms group meet at Swanson Nursery to see the live Reindeer. The kiddos had a blast playing on the sled.








I just realized how few pictures Bill and I took of Harrison opening presents and we did not get a family picture. Oh well...next year! Harrison is a pro at opening gifts. We did video chat with our parents and then spent a quiet afternoon at home. After Harrison's nap we all watched the Cars movie (Harrison's second favorite Christmas present.) He is a HUGE fan of Tow Mater! My heart melted as Bill and Harrison snuggled on the couch together. Our friend Michael came over for dinner and we watched/I slept through Elf.

Merry Christmas and Many Blessings for 2012!

Whistler Adventure

On Friday afternoon Bill, Harrison and I drove to Whistler Canada for the weekend. Our friends Rod, Julie and their little boy Nic invited us to join them at their condo. Saturday morning we went to the village for coffee and an early lunch. Bill enjoyed going skiing Saturday afternoon. Thought the snow was not fresh he still loved skiing for a couple hours!





Harrison can now check off Canada from his list!

Seattle Aquarium toddler time

Harrison and I joined our friend William and his mommy Caroline for some fun at the Seattle Aquarium on Tuesday. Harrison enjoyed steering the ship!



So much fun touching the sea creatures!


All ready for the rain outside!


I would say it was a very successful play date!
