Life lately at our house.....

While it seems like forEVER since I blogged, it truly probably hasn't been THAT long. It seems that long. 


We really enjoyed Chris, Michelle, and Sable being here on their way to HI. We were able to do a few things with all of the kids which was very nice. We had dinner at Hu Hot one night(YUM), saw a movie, went to It'Z, ate at Red Robin and also Poblanos. 


We had Sable for a few weeks after the kids left in order for her to be able to go right to her new home when she arrived. We enjoyed having her. She is one funny, sweet, and smart puppy. :)


Michael spent Easter weekend with us and as it turned out, it was actually a wonderful weather weekend! No hiding eggs in the snow this year!


Then. Came. Flu. And man did it hit hard! Kevin started feeling bad on his birthday(not fun) and by Sunday we were sitting in the ER. He missed two days of work and probably should have stayed home a day or two longer, but well, if you know him, you know that just wasn't going to happen. By Thursday, Jason had it, but to a lesser degree. So he missed a few days of school. Both are feeling much better now and Kevin's cough is all but gone although Jason does still have some of his. Someone it decided not to take up residence in me. Thankfully.


This past weekend we ran errands and finally got to have Kevin's birthday lunch. :) 


We are having quite odd weather out here with above normal temps for over a month. Everything is green and blooming and that hasn't happened since the spring of 2001. We even broke some records a day or two. I am loving it,  personally. I love spring. Normally our spring is cold and we get the bulk of our heavy, wet snow. Not this year. We've had rain and thunderstorms and a tornado touch down near us that did some damage. 


Weight Watchers is going great for still. I made the decision when I joined again for the 3rd time that I'm in it for life this time. I've lost 15 pounds in a little under 3 months. I still have 10 to go,  but I know I'll get there. Jason and started walking each day and were really enjoying it and then the flu hit. Today we are hoping to get back into that. I am very glad as I hate the treadmill!!


Looking ahead, we have a few things planned coming up that we're excited about. Some Sky Sox games for sure, including July 4th.  About a month ago we decided that with it being Chipper's final season, we really wanted to see a Braves game live this year. We knew going to Atlanta was out, so we found when they're coming to Coors Field. This weekend as it turns out and let me tell you it is a sold out event. All 3 games. I had to get whatever I could when I got tickets and almost gave up because there were only single seats/tickets available, and then all of a sudden there were 3 seats that opened up. Someone cancel or whatever, I don't know. I didn't care. I snagged them. :) So we'll be at Coors Field this Sunday watching Chipper and the Braves. Apparently, Peyton Manning was at yesterday's Rockies game.


For now, I will close up the blog and look at today's pointing for WW. Have a great week everyone!!

Ballgames, allergies and stuff....

I truly don't know how it got to be April 13th already. Wasn't it just March? The days and weeks go by so fast it seems. And we're actually having some pretty nice weather for CO in April, so I don't want time to go so fast. I want to enjoy spring.

Our week was filled with the usual work and school and such. Our tree pollen is super high and everyone is sneezing with scratchy throats. Ick.

Today of course is Kevin's birthday. :) He worked from home today partly due to his birthday and partly because Sable had an appointment with the vet. We had gotten tickets to tonight's home opener for the Sky Sox and decided to go after all. Not the best weather today. Of course, after such nice weather. Cold and windy. This is not prime baseball weather. No sir. It wasn't helping matters that the Sox were losing 9 to 0 in the 4th inning and the funnel cake fries line was an hour wait. The only real win of the evening was dinner from Chick Fil A. Tomorrow we'll be celebrating the birthday by going out to dinner at The Elephant Bar. :)

Next Saturday is when Sable will fly to be with her mommy and daddy. We are quite certain of two things, "first, she is NOT going to enjoy her day" and "two, she is going to be very happy to see her parents."

Kevin mentioned in passing, sort of, about possibly trying to do the "Bolder Boulder" or is "Boulder Bolder?" in May. We'll see. I've never been up to Boulder and it might be fun to walk in the race. You can do that, you don't have to run it. We'll see. We also found out that Reba will be performing at Frontier Days in Cheyenne this July. Love Reba. Loved her show and she is a pretty cool lady and we hear she puts on incredible concerts. Plus Jason might enjoy a real rodeo and seeing real cowboys. We also want to finally make it to Larkspur in June to the Rennisance Festival and that probably isn't spelled right. :) Jason wants to go camping.

I'm tired internet world and this will therefore end the babbling for tonight. :)

My life....

Life in the CO Lidh home has been fairly busy. March came and went and I'm not sure where exactly it went. :) Chris, Michelle, and Sable arrived in early March on their way from Biloxi to Hawaii. We enjoyed having them here for a few weeks. Especially knowing it might be a while before we see them again. While they were here we enjoyed dinner out at Hu Hot, TX Roadhouse, Poblanos and China Recipe. We also ordered pizza and ate at Village Inn once. We had a party for them the Saturday before they left and enjoyed that day, as well. We've already posted pictures from our month on here, so I won't bother reposting now. Kevin(daddy)took them up to DIA a week ago tomorrow for their flight to Honolulu. We were sad to see them go but so excited for them to be able to experience Hawaii! They were already lucky to experience Japan. Sable is with us until around April 21st. She's a sweetie. She cracks us up daily with her antics. At night she wants to be on the couch wedged beside me. We will miss her as well.

School is going fairly well. We'll be finishing up 4th grade in June, taking July off and starting 5th grade in August. I know I've changed my mind so many times regarding school, but we're thinking now July and December off for breaks and then a day or two here and there throughout the year.

I'm starting my 7th week on WW and I'm down a pants size. WOO HOO! I love that I am never hungry nor do I have to want for something. No forbidden food on WW! Somehow knowing that I CAN have anything, think chocolate....., makes me not want it as much. I could never be on a diet. I hate the word. WW isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I feel so much better and have more energy and sleep better.

That about sums up our March. We are in the talking phases of a Disney trip June 2012 and a trip to Hawaii in 2014. We also are starting the process of doing things to the house to get it ready to either sell, or rent in 1-2 years. So, we keep pretty busy around here. :)
