Things forgotten

Today at the gym I realized how much I hated the stationary bike! I only lasted 8 minutes before I switched to something else. I really really do not like riding a bike that goes no where, but I love the treadmill because it will make you walk faster with out being able to slow down (unless you want to be thrown off)

Eating healthy can be really yummy! I made turkey tacos for dinner and instead of using a taco shell I put mine over spinach leaves (which I love - fresh baby spinach - yum yum)with the taco sauce, black olives, and sour cream - once again yum yum!

I don't like king cakes that are too sweet! I went to wholly donut to get one because I have been told by many people they are great - I do not agree at all! Even my kids wanted to know why this one did not have the pretty sugar on it. SO next time I will get the ones from Whole foods which has the best king cake I have tasted in a really long time! Plus theirs cost way too much!

are you kidding?????

Sookie is listed as the number 14 top girl name for 2009!!!! SOOKIE - yeah it is a good name for the girl in True Blood but who would actually name their child SOOKIE??? A girl at that, I even wondered when I read the book what kind of mother would name their child that but thought oh it is a book nobody in their right mind would do such a thing...... OK that is my rant for the morning!
My muscles are screaming at me since I went to a new class at the gym, I have not worked out like that in way too long!! I looked like a fool while I tried to balance but at least I am in there trying to become the goddess I was meant to be. Now it is time to be a cleaning queen and pick up after those messy kids I have!

Great Job Jaxon





Just wanted to share what Jaxon did in art class! I think he does a great job with drawing.
He also had a very good report card! Yeah for Jaxon!!

week in review

Well I would like to say we are back in the swing of things after the holidays but that would be a lie! The kids are back at school today after a day off on Friday because it was too cold - I think it was colder this morning and everything was covered in ice but I do not make the rules! Erik is on a plane heading to Texas for 2 weeks on the rig, he has been off work since mid November so I am sure he is going to have a shock when he gets to work!
We signed up for a new gym today, should be fun... On Saturday they have a class for the kids so they can get some fun exercise also, that is one way to get me in the gym on Saturday also! They have a pool which is the main reason we picked this one. I plan on going tomorrow after bring Katie to school.
I am back on track today, well minus the exercise, after eating like crap this weekend. But I did enjoy the food! The Rum House is so good, I think I like it so much is because it is different! Plus I got to see Amy and Kelly. Found out Jene is having her baby tomorrow! So the Comeaux family grows again - yeah! I even went into McDonald today to use the restroom and walked out with out buying anything - yeah me!!

New years day

girly girls

For Christmas I gave the girls a tutu petiskirt and and shirt they loved twilling around in them! I left Katie's at home :(


up close and personal




Christmas Eve

Wii Active

so today I did my second day of Wii active - I was yelling at the lady. My legs were burning!! Yesterday I went to the gym but since I did not do the workout it showed that I rested, I do wish there was something I could do to change that. Other then that I love the workouts. We can even set it up for Jaxon to do boxing and other sports which he loves.
So far the new year has started off good!

Happy New Year 2010

OK so I was yelled at about not keeping up with the blog! So here we go I will try to be better at updating my life and not just on facebook!
So since the last entry Jaxon started Kindergarten and we love his teacher. Katie has a great teacher in preschool and she loves school.
We went on a cruise for Thanksgiving - the kids had a blast and can not wait to go on another one!
Erik and I are doing great. Waiting to see where his job will take us this year. As of now just to the gulf but that is subjected to change!
This year I am starting with a lot of ambition. Now I just hope I can keep up with it!
Today I went back to eating healthy, with Erik working off shore, me and the kids ate a lot of convenience foods which was really bad for my weight so now starts the task of removing it! I plan to eat healthy and work out!
I have also decided to start painting my house. This is going to stress me out till I decide on colors which is why I have not done it before! I plan on going this week to pick out colors at least to pick up ideas!
I am going to work on Katie's scrapbooks. I need to do her first 2 years in the books I have then I am going to do the rest on the computer. I really like how Blurb books turn out. I also need to work on my Mom's book for Mother's day!!
I think the last thing I have planned is to purge out the unwanted stuff in my house. We have so much stuff we do not use or need and I just need to get rid of it! Sad for me my neighborhood is no good for garage sales (too far out of the way - which is great because we have no traffic but it is bad for garage sales for that reason!)

2009 was a good year for us. A year of travel! Now lets see how long I can keep up with my task for 2010!
