Weekly Update

We are in Nederland this weekend with Lauryn and it is still raining! It rained in Austin starting Thursday until we left and it is raining here too. It is suppose to rain here until tomorrow. That is 4 straight days of rain! Oh well, guess I can't do anything about that. At least Winnie is in Austin at the Kennel with her friends.

Right now David is "playing" on Facebook on the Zoo. David and Lauryn and Frankie really love the zoo. Today is sign up for Spring Soccer so David and Lauryn will be taking care of that soon.

No pictures to update this weekend, taking a break from all that! Update on Resolutions later.

Resolution week 1

Ok so week 1 just ended. Here is a little recap of how I did.

Become Healthier: Well, I ate healthier about 1/2 of this week, so I guess something is better than nothing. We joined the Y a few days ago and went today for our first time to work out. So I guess that is also healthier right?

Update the blog more often: I am up to weekly right now so thats better! My plan is to take this resolution thing one week at a time. The idea behind it is there are 52 weeks in a year so if I take it one week at a time I should be able to make these changes.

Less Caffinee: This one was a little tougher, only a little coffee this week and that was in the afternoons. Of course the weather has been bad so can I blame that on the fact that it is FREEZING in Austin? I've had a few soda's but mostly those were caffinee free. I might have done best on this one! WoW!! I would have never thought that.

My plan for the week you ask? Tomorrow I am having cereal for breakfast and Turkey chili for lunch. I've packed my snacks so I am ready to go. And of course hitting the gym after work! If I can keep up the planning this week should be as good as last week if not better!

Keep tunning in and see how I am doing. PS I guess David is getting drug along with this plan since I do the grocery shopping and he works out with me now! Yeah for us!

Disney Pictures

I am still working on editing our Disney pictures but in case you want to see them while we are in the process here is a link.

2010 Resolutions

As every new year begins most of us make resolutions, goals, or promises to ourselves. Usually things to do better each new year. Do they last? Some say no, some say "write them down" and they are more likely to work, some say "make them positive and they are more likely to work".



I say "try", at least try. Even if it is for a few months, weeks, or days......it is an accomplishment. So with the idea we are starting a new year here are a few of mine. At the end of this year we can see how I've done and we can all re-evaluate 2010 in just a short 12 months.



In no particular order:

1. Be/get healthy (eat healthy - not really a diet so much as a life style change.....less carbs.....more organic and fruits and veggies).

2. Work out --we are going the Y here so that should help (if we go!)

3. Update the blog on a more regular basis! (I thought you guys might like that one)

4. Less Caffinee

Daily update

In case any of you out there were wondering.....I am working on uploading all of our Disney Pictures to the Disney website so we (I) can edit the pictures and then order a CD. So sooner than later (hopefully) we will be able to share tons here!

These include all of the professional pictures taken so yes, all of us, including myself will be in these! I know you all can't wait so I am working as fast as I can :)

Thanks for your patience and keep checking back to see if there are any updates.

Lauryn's thoughts on DisneyWorld

"It was good, I liked it a lot" she told me to type! We went to all four parks, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. We stayed at the Carriben Resort in Barbados.

Her favorite thing in Hollywood Studios was the Backlot tour, also we had lunch at the 50's Si Fi Drive in. It is decorated like a drive in theater from the 50's and you actually sit in cars!!! We also saw Fantasmic (show) and met the characters from Up!

Her favorite thing in Epcot was Nemo and turtle talk with Crush (it is interactive and AWESOME!) We had dinner in Italy for David's birthday and saw Illuminations twice. Lauryn and I rode the Mexico ride twice!

Her favorite thing in Animal Kingdom was the Safari and saw huge Ostrich eggs! (pictures coming soon). We also went on a walking tour and saw more animals, including a gorilla, and met lots of characters including Lilo and Stich!

Her favorite things in the Magic Kingdom were Cinderella's Castle, Fantasy Land, Peter Pan, Mickey's Toon Town, Snow White, Tomorrow Land Speedway, People Mover (you can see inside space mountain), Buzz Lightyear (her scores were 7300, 7700, and 28,300!!!) Aladin's Magic Carpet (like Dumbo), Stichs' Great Escape, and the Train.

She really liked the Monorail, we rode it several times! The first night we rode it around and stopped in the Grand Floridian and saw a huge, lifesized, Gingerbread house! There were even people inside it! They were selling Gingerbread. The rest of the time we rode the busses around. She is trying to pick where she wants to stay next time.

Thats all for now, stay tuned for pictures :)

Love,

Kim and Lauryn
