Daily Gratitude Photos February 2012

February 29, 2012
This crazy picture of myself and some of the Aspen workout ladies.  I was so focused on getting all of us in the picture and had to keep the camera from being right in front of my face that I forgot to look at myself...love the after workout hair and the double chin from looking down at the camera!  Hahahahaha That just cracks me up and I LOVE it!

Caught Dad and Kati getting in a few hands of cards during breakfast before school/work!

Just enjoying my daycare buddies.  They are all so lovable!

Took advantage of the nice weather and the break between Nate's basketball game and helping with the gymnastics meet and took off for a 6 mile walk around the lake with Curt.

February 25, 2012
No words needed...just my boys :)

Tomorrow is the Patriot gymnastics meet, which is our home gym.  So we went in to help set up the gym for the meet...tomorrow Nick with compete in the meet and Sunday we are going back to help the judges at the USA Boys meet!  Quite the weekend!

There is nothing like a family game of cards on a week night! Love any chance we can play together!



February 22, 2012
Was watching Nathan play nerf basketball with his cap on backwards and his long gym shorts on and his mannerisms are EXACTLY like my little brother Mark!  Wowzers it is almost scary.  I even catch myself calling him Mark every now and again.

Tonight was student led conferences at the Middle school.  My daily gratitude folder comes from Nick's portfolio.  A Recipe for a Great Mom!  Love it :)

Today is President's Day, the kids were off from school...so I too had a day off.  I had to get all of my Doctor appointments in, as these are the only days I am able to get it done.  Went to my first appointment this morning and upon arriving back home I found Nick & Kati in the kitchen making a special breakfast for everyone.  Whole Wheat Tortillas with peanut butter, sliced apples and or bananas rolled up and served. Then our old neighbor came and picked up the kids so they could spend the afternoon together.  I took advantage of this and had a Lunch Date with Curtis! Then ran to my next doctor appointment.  Home and made some delicious Carrot Applesauce cookies!  mmm mmm mmm! What a full day with a great feeling of being truly blessed!

A full day today!  Sang in Praise Band for church...started rehearsal at 8:30...with church at 10:45, then home for some lunch and a walk with Big Daddy around the lake (the best part of the day) then home to clean up and off for a Jam Session with the Band, and ended with Nate's Basketball game.  A Sunday Fully LIVED!

Gratitude!  Today came in the form of a gorgeous sunrise as I drove to Aspen Sub a Turbo Kick class!  A great feeling to step outside of the box and accept the opportunity to sub for someone else...much different than teaching my own class...(You all remember school and the feeling when you had a sub) lol. But I did it, enjoyed the sunrise on my way there, had a FABULOUS time teaching class...and set my Saturday up for FUN!!! ...a movie with the family and playing games in the evening


February 17, 2012
Today the sun was out...it weas still chilly, but it looked so nice we couldn't resist getting our little dose of vitamin D today.  So Kati and I went for a great walk with our little Mr Rooney.  Love the conversations we have when we go for walks together.  Grateful Grateful Grateful.

Today I am grateful for the opportunity to do something I love!  Thursdays are a day full of group fitness...500am I get to teach group fitness at my church, 530pm I get to teach group fitness at the gym.  And today I was able to visit on the phone with a friend who was a critical person and inspiration to me on this journey! On my way to the gym...Yep Grateful!

Almost every morning before school Kati sits down and practices the piano.  I love that time in the morning before everything begins...sitting with a cup of coffee and listening to her play.

Valentine's Day.  After just taking our trip to El Paso, we decided we were not doing anything for
Valentine's....well here is how the day began...I was up to teach my workout class at 500am.  Came downstairs to get my water and found this on the counter...
So excited to have fun doing some Zumba on the kinnect.  I went and taught workout class as we finished up and I am putting things away in my bag I found this...
That's right...80's Workout music...lol
So then I get home and have usually a 1/2 hour before the rest of the house gets up so I use it to do my Bible reading, prayers and To Do list.  This is what I found hiding under my Bible...


I do love Diet Coke...and it is a journal, which is perfect timing as now I have a place to write down all the planning and work needed to begin my "business plan" for helping our youth with Confidence & healthy living.
Wow, what a day of gratitude.  Enjoyed the rest of my day, that evening we were signing up for the Warrior Dash and I grabbed my purse to pay for our entry and found this...
Yes that is a CD of Barry Manilow.  I grew up LOVING all kinds of music. I know many people make fun of those who like Barry's music, but his music makes me smile & I LOVE to sing along to each and every song.  Totally made me smile!  Not sure how he is going to top such a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Nick came into my room at 1:30 this morning with a tummy ache...soon after was in the bathroom getting sick.  Checked on him in the morning and he said he was good to go to school (Yes, Nick will fake NOT being sick, just so he can go to school).  Time to leave, Curt found him lying on the couch, told him to get his coat...he made it into the other room and onto that couch...Curt told him to get back to bed.  As the day went on his energy returned and we were able to enjoy our afternoon playing cards.  Truly an afternoon to be Grateful for!

My basketball boy...ready to go with his ipod music playing...getting him pumped for the game ;)

February 11, 2012
The boys had to set up and serve for the Middle School Youth Group Italian Dinner tonight.  So proud of them.  While they were setting things up, we took advantage of having Miss Kati to ourselves and took her to see the Muppets.  A great Saturday all around!






February 10, 2012
Even grateful for that pre-teen attitude that likes to show it's face a little more often then it use to...but at the end of the day I still get hugs, kisses and I love You's from that same pre-teen :)

Last year of making a Valentine's Box...

Spent ALL day in the airport...beginning at 6:00am and finally home at 11:30pm So with a day like that what's a girl to do, but to be extremely grateful to have my husband there to goof around with as the minutes slowly ticked away.  And I was grateful for finding these massage chairs...worth every penny to sit and kill a few minutes of our day :)

Love watching the elementary kids run around and play at recess.  I can always hear their yelling, screaming and laughing when they come out to play.  It makes me smile.

Grateful for the Sticky Goals I completed in January and moved to the right side of my mirror!
