It hasn't quite been a week ...
.. but I'm flying out in the morning to meet up with Mike and then we are driving up to see Nanny Marsh who is quite sick right now. I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone to tell them I'm coming but oh well I guess it'll be a surprise.
Kelsey had another wrestling tournament last weekend and this time she took home the gold. She is now preparing for Regionals coming up in a couple of weeks and then hopefully off to provincials.
Cait has just started provincial playdowns for hockey and they won their first game last night
2-0. I think provincials are in Truro this year.
Joeye had her first ever Valentines party. She made one of those Valentine pocket holders and then gave out Princess Valentines to all her friends. It was very exciting for her. They even made cute little cookies (which I didn't eat but don't tell her that).
Not much of an update I know but Dad called me to tell me to expect threatning emails and phone calls if I didn't post!
As Amy told me this morning ... 42 DAYS TO JAMAICA
I can't believe I didn't post my favourite Florida picture .. Hey it's shrinking all my pics .. sorry for now I guess everyone will just have to squint.

This is just not as warm as Florida!
Our vacation to Florida with the girls was amazing. The hotel I booked was fabulous, turned into be like a mini-resort, the kids were just amazed. It was really nice tobe able to spend some quality time with just the girls and let all the focus be on just them and what they wanted to do. Needless to say with girls we shopped for three full days! By the time JJ and I got back from our vacation we needed a vacation .. so with Amy and Mitch we booked a trip to Couples Negril in Jamaica April 2-9th. We've been planning on doing this since Amy and Mitch went to Jamaica last year and ever since JJ and I got married we said we'd love to go back! Last time we went to Sandals and this time we're going to try Couples. There was an amazing sale on and we just couldn't pass up the price. So that's where my focus is these days ... Turbojamming in preparation for Jamaica. JJ also has been working his butt off and for some reason it just seems to melt off him way faster than it does me. Now we've both seen some progress though so that's what matters. If I actually lost my 15 lb goal then I will post our before and after pictures ... but if not I just can't put you all through those nasty pictures without good ones at the end! The Turbo Jam videos really are a lot of fun though. I've been able to maintain doing the workouts 5-6 days per week for 3 weeks now and they reallly do seem to be making a difference, but of course it's not a magic pill. It's a lot of hard work for small results, well with the exception of JJ of course, honestly melts right off him .. just not fair.
What else has been going on .. hmm ... Kelsey won silver at a wrestling tournament last weekend, she has another tournament starting tomorrow. Cait has been playing the usual amounts of hockey and she made the volleyball team at school. Joeye got a great report card from preschool, her first one and Joshy well, he is just mischievious ... pulls his diaper off and pees on the floor daily ... it must be a boy thing!
I see things are really slowing down in blogland .. are we just all that busy really? I'm really going to try for weekly post ... if you don't see another post next Friday I'd like people to start sending me rude threatening emails.
So anybody else out there trying to lose wait for summer? It's a never ending battle isn't it?
