We are Moving!

So we are officially getting ready to put our house up for sale... We will be moving into Jeffs parents house while they are working on a project in Idaho for the next two years...

We've tried looking into houses in the past and could never come to terms with the thought of moving for one reason or another, but at this time we know it is time for us to go and move on to a new adventure! It's crazy how you know it's the right thing to do, because everything falls into place.

It will be hard to leave our dear friends and such a good neighborhood, but I know that we will be quick to build up new friendships and never forget the ones we've made!

Fitness and health

So yesterday I took Aubrey in for her 4 year old doctor checkup with the pediatrician. She's doing awesome! Right on track for preschool, and she knows what she needs to know for kindergarten already!

He asked me questions about how much physical activity she gets each day and how much time she spends watching TV? I realized that we have hibernated quite a bit this winter and we need to get moving again.

I decided that we need to try and find fun things that keep us active during the winter. So this past week I've been trying to find ways to change our habits and have been trying to find ways to make our day funner.

We now watch an hour and a half of TV at the most during the day, and we try to spend half an hour doing learning and craft time, another half hour playing a game, another half hour to an hour cleaning or organizing, and another half hour exercising.

Hopefully by breaking up our day a little bit, I can get Aubrey a little more excited to do things besides sitting in front of the TV or iPad, while I am getting lost in how much time I have been spending getting our house in order when I could be teaching her better habits and she could be helping me.

Jeff and I have also decided to start tracking what we eat and exercising more frequently. Jeff surprised me with a cruise for my 30th birthday in May and so we have 3 months to get ourselves in shape and we need to make it count! It always helps having a date to shoot for in accomplishing our goals, and the cruise was a great motivator!

Hopefully we can start changing habits and getting healthy again!

Skiing...

Jeff and I went skiing up at Sundance today!  I think this is one of my favorite activities to do together. There's nothing better than enjoying a fun workout in the fresh mountain air and beautiful scenic nature.

We always do something together to celebrate valentine's day before or after Valentine's day to miss all the crowds.

Colton is 1 year old today!

I can't believe how fast the time has gone by... my little Colton guy is 1 year old today!  He's sure a sweet boy! We absolutely love him!! He's getting two new teeth and yet he tries to smile and be happy through it all! Grandma and Grandpa Spjut and Kelsey stopped by to wish him a Happy Birthday and brought him cupcakes. We stripped him down to his birthday suit, lit a candle on the cupcake and took his picture. Of coarse the girls helped him blow it out and then he dove right in. He sure enjoyed his cupcake!
