Valentines Day Weekend

Instead having a romantic dinner, Richie and I decided to take Lancer to the Banff Mountain Film Festival at the Egyptian Theater. So Ryker went to my parents house for the night and we headed out with our oldest son. Lancer chose where we had dinner so of course we went to Arby's. Then on our way to the theater, Richie discovered he had left the tickets in his coat pocket at home so by the time we got there, the show was just starting and we sat in the very back, along the wall, so our view wasnt the best.
The movies were good, some a little more than others. My favorite was about the 3 BASE jumpers who jumped 2,000 ft into a cave in China. I think we all got a little bored during the movie about how they make snow cones in Peru.
The next morning the weather was beautiful, so we went up to my parents house (THE RANCH!), and took Lancer cross country skiing. He did really well for his second time, although he did say we was really tired. After we were done we spent some time with the horses and fed the chickens. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend!

It was such a beautiful day!

Tahoe knew Ryker had treats in his pocket.

2 years ago, I decided it was time to lose all the extra weight that I gained during my pregnancies. So with the help of my doctor and diet and exercise I lost 40+lbs. Needless to say the weight has started to creep back. I mean I had to try all the Christmas treats given to me by my neighbors, it would be rude not to! I had to try all the treats that I gave away, what if they were bad?
So after discovering how out of shape I have become skiing the last few weekends, I have decided to take charge and lose those stubborn lbs, and get back in shape. Today I worked out with Crystal. I got a workout DVD for Christmas that has the super mean trainer from The Biggest Loser. I got through the first workout and am not as sore as I thought, and I only thought bad thougths about the trainer a few times during the video. It was easier doing it with a friend, she really helped me keep going and not give up.
I will prevail! I want to be healthy! and I want those peanut M&Ms I have hidden in my pantry!
