I would like to change that in 2013. Now, with that being "said", I will probably look back at this post in 2 months and think, "I thought I was going to be better about posting!"Anyways, I'm going to try again.
The last time I posted was in October. We have had a lot go on since then. The girls got their report cards, they were awesome. I lost another 5 lbs (yay me!!). Halloween, the big girls were witches and Brookie was their Hoot Owl. Thanksgiving was good except my mom got the flu and then I got the flu(which by the way is SO NOT COOL). Mark and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary (finally) with a trip to New York City in early December and I had reached my weight goal at the time and then promptly gained that weight back. It's ok, I lost it because I was sick, not a good way to lose weight.
We saw Santa Claus, had our Christmas contata at church, all three girls have been sick and now we are in the new year! Yay!!
We did have a loss this past year. My sweet Grandma Sibbett died on December 8, 2012. She was 83 and went very peacefully. She had alzheimer's and had gotten sick. She went to sleep and never woke back up. My mom and sister were with her when she passed and they said she went so peacefully. I'm so thankful for that!! It was hard because she was my only living grandparent. Mark made a good point on the day of her funeral. We lost Grandma about 10 years ago when the dementia/alzheimer's took away her memory and now we have lost her again. The good thing with her though is she was never mean and was always happy!! I know she is in Heaven with my grandpa just talking his ears off!!
I have a new adventure that I'm starting. I'm the co-choir director now at my church!! Myself and my good friend, Tracy, are going to be rocking the Baptist way in the Quaker church!! I'm pretty excited but terribly nervous. I have never done anything quite like this before and I know that I will do fine because its for the Lord!!
Lauren and Claire have just started UPWARDS basketball and we are all excited. I think this season is going to be a good one. I'm looking forward to watching develop their skills and hopefully fall in love with the sport. I know their Daddy will be excited if they do!! Brooke will enjoy climbing up and down the bleachers where as Mommy will not!! She is on the go BIG TIME!!
Speaking of Brookie, she is such a joy. Right now she has a terrible cold/cough and we were up late last night dealing with it. She tries to be just like her big sisters, playing with their toys and trying to keep up with them. She LOVES LOVES LOVES Dora!!! She calls her "Backpack!" We are trying to teach her to say "Dora" but she just says "Backpack." She'll be going to kindergarten speaking Spanish. She watches it constantly and because I'm a bad mama, I just let her. It makes her happy and that makes me happy. She is a good eater and loves juice!! She loves fruit chews too. She still has her paci but I think we could get rid of it if we wanted. She loves her crochet blankets still too. She can say Mommy, daddy, juice, backpack, boots, mine, yummy, bye-bye, hey, my, cat, and can make most of the animal sounds. She loves Scruffie our cat and loves to play in the dog food:(.
As of today, I've lost around 35 pounds. December was not a good month for me, I didn't watch it. Too much was going on and I just couldn't concentrate on it. I've started counting again and am hoping to join the gym in the next few days. I would like to reach my goal by July, I have about 50 lbs to go.
This is enough for now....hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
