Updates!!

OH MY, I have got to update everyone. I can not believe I have not posted since March....yikes. So I will start with some of our most exciting news. As many of you know already, Robert and I are involved in a health and fitness company called Million Dollar Body. We are both coaches and love helping others get into better shape and live a healthier life style. Besides offering great home workout vidoes, Million Dollar body also offers different contests and one of them is a monthly transformation contest where they choose 8 people (4 male & 4 female; one each in different age groups) to win $1K. Then out of those 8 they choose 1 male and 1 female to win $10K!!!! Robert was choosen as the May $10,000 winner!!!!! It was a wonderful surprise and one he earned. He has really transformed himself. Not only physically (which he does look great) but also spiritually and mentally. He is so much more confident in himself and this confidence has already taken him into new areas in his life that he would have never ventured into. He continually thanks God for his health and understands why our bodies our God's temple.
Million Dollar Body came all the way into the middle of Iowa's corn fields from Los Angeles to video their new May winner. Here is his video:

My Basketball Stars!!

OK, the basketball season here in Decorah for my boys lasts a total of 4 weeks. Bryson is in the Sharp Shooter league while Ty is in the Biddie Ball league. I love to watch them play. It is so cool to see Bryson's skills develop over the past few years. Ty still has a ways to go but he is fun to watch. Ty's league is more like 3 & 4 year olds with balls and not quite sure what to do with them. Ty even went over into the 5 year old game and shoot a basket into their hoops. Those were a bit higher but he made it and then had to go and high 5 everyone. So funny these boys. Hmm I wonder where he gets it from.

A Winter Highlight - Snowmobiling

Now this took place a few weeks back but Bryson had such a good time I had to share the pictures with you. Bryson's Papa and Aunt Megan took him snowmobiling on one of Papa's friend's land. There was tons of snow that had just fallen the day before so it made for great conditions. Bryson loved it and has requested a snowmobile for this coming christmas. Hmmm, I might have to think about that.....ok, done thinking - NO!!! Once a year on someone else's snowmobile is just fine.

Ty Turned 3!!

Ty is now officially Three years old. He acts as if he is 6 sometimes and an early 2 other times. Ty has many changes ahead of him now that he is 3. First we are working on potty training which so far is going pretty good. Then we are snipping off all pacifier tips to get rid of that pesty thing. He thinks there is nothing better in the world than his pacie. Ty had a small Birthday Party at McDonalds with two of his friends, Gus Grimstad and Tyler Juve. He had so much fun with them. The one thing he wanted at his party was party hats. I haven't bought party hats in so long that I forgot that they even made them anymore....shame on mom. My boys are getting old and I am sad that I no longer have a small child in the house. OH well on to bigger things now....sports, sports and probably more sports. Both boys are in love with all kinds of balls, whether it is golf, basketball, soccer, football and baseball. Robert loves this about his boys and lucky for them, I can through a decent ball here and there.

Cozumel was Wonderful

Robert and I had a great trip with two of our friends to Cozumel. We were there for 7 nights and 8 days. We stayed at an all-inclusive resort and I think we ate our fair share of food. We layed out, took a snorkel cruise, rented a jeep and toured the island for a day, and just relaxed. It was wonderful!! When we left Mexico the temperature was 85 and when our plane touched down in Minneapolis at 9pm it was -15 degrees. YUCK!! OH to dream of the beach....

Winter is here in FULL FORCE!

It is snowing the biggest flakes I have ever seen. The snow is acumulating so fast and I am guessing we have 6 inches now and it is still falling fast. The boys love the snow. Bryson is getting good at snowboarding. Robert and I love the beauty of the snow and I personally think it is so romantic, however we are ready for it to melt already. 6 more days till we are on a flight to Sunny Mexico onto the beaches on Cozumel for 7 whole days. WOW I can't wait.

Bryson Turns 7

I can not believe that Bryson is already 7 years old. It seems like I was just sitting in the hosipital holding my first newborn baby. Now 7 years later here we are in Iowa throughing a Football themed party. Bryson had 10 friends meet at Grace Fellowship Church and they had fun running relays, playing in-door flag football and kicking through a field goal. They took home footballs for their party favors. The party completely wore Robert and I out but I loved seeing the smiles on the boy's face and it was totally worth it.
