Having the flu is not so fun

Wow! Colton, William and I have been fighting the flu for 3 days now. I feel a ton better but William is still congested and feverish. Please pray for him. He's not sleeping well even in the swing sitting up. When they're this young you can't give them anything.
Today, I'm going to be brave. I'm going to do a before picture. I am determined to loose weight. We only have a little bit of chocolate in the house now, nothing to temp me. And we won't be buying any more. We do have cookies, but I don't really like cookies. So its fruit and vegies for me from here on out. Woo hoo. I cannot wait to take my final picture once I've reached my goal weight.

New goal

Well, today is officially the day I start my Team Beach Body Slim in 6 work out. I have 6 weeks to go. I'm posting so that you can keep me accountable. I want so much to lose all this baby fat and fit back in my clothes and finally look like I'm healthy again. I was going to work out this morning but I have been sick the last two days. After taking some Theraflu and Ibuprofen I'm ready to start. On Friday I will get my Shakeology and start drinking that once a day. I'll keep you updated and let you know how it goes. You can track my progress or learn more about Team Beach Body and Shakeology at www.teambeachbody.com/janicekrieger. Please keep me accountable and Cheer me on. I would love to do the same for you so let me know your goals and your workout routine.

Lizzy's birthday

We celebrated Lizzy's 2nd birthday on January 13. She is a pistol. We are amazed that she hasn't broken any bones yet. What a wonderful blessing my little tink is. She makes me laugh and makes my heart jump throughout each day. Happy birthday Lizzy I pray that God showers you with blessings throughout the year.

My dear friend Toni

I had my first baby back in 1995. When I found out I was pregnant I was petrified. I was a single woman of 22 with no chance for a boyfriend let alone a husband. I had no idea what to do. I went to a Dr to find out what would be next and if the home test was accurate. Well, it was accurate, without a doubt. The other bad thing was that the Dr was mean and rude. I was scared and I didn't know what to do. At the same time, my sister-in-law was pregnant and she was going to a midwife. Well, I finally told my family and I went to see Toni. I will tell you that Toni took what was a terrifying and tragic time to me and turned it into a wonderful experience of motherhood. Each time I went to my appointments she greeted me with a hug and a kiss. I was accepted and forgiven by a woman I now consider a huge part of my family. She has been with me through so much with my children. She has been a shoulder to cry on when my two babies passed away and even took the time to come to my little Timothy's funeral. She has laughed at my silliness and didn't bat an eye at my words when the pain would be so intense I wanted to die. She has delivered all 5 of my babies, I count the last one even though I went to the hospital because she did all the work not the doctors or nurses. She loves my children as though they were her own. I will never forget going to her 50th anniversary with her husband and the children at her feet while they danced together. This is exactly how I have always thought of Toni. She loves people and especially children. She has the kindest heart of anyone I have ever met. If you don't know my midwife Toni then you are missing out on a heart of gold.
I am telling you all of this because my dear friend has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig disease and it is progressing very quickly. Please pray for her that she will not suffer too much pain and that she would give her final days and weeks to Christ. She loves the Lord, I know this much to be true. But please pray for her and for her family. She has 10 children herself and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. She has an abundance of friends and loved ones who have been touched by her in all different ways.
I love you miss Toni, your in my thoughts and my prayers daily.

Finding the cheapest deals

Yesterday was a one day sale on Spiral ham at Safeway. We are having Christmas at our new house this year, so we're expecting about 16 people (mostly Rob, me and the kids). The sale was for half hams or whole. I didn't see any whole ones so I thought I would get a half and then my parents could get a half for me, but I talked to the meat guys and I got a whole ham for .99 a pound. I'm so thrilled. The thing is huge.
I think Amy will be proud of me. I also went to Albertsons and bought $26 worth of stuff for $6. I even got two items for free without using the double dollars. I plan to go back for more today. My Albertsons only let's you do a couple of transactions at a time.
I think I did pretty good. I do have to say though, we have spent way more this week than I had planned on but it all goes to Christmas and I have to think of it that way.

Less diapers

Alainna has been doing so good, now we just have to train Logan to use the upstairs bathroom. It seems that every time he's in there she wets her pants.
She went with only two pull ups today. One because we had to go out for a few hours, but she held it for most of the time then told us she peed. Then the next time Logan was in the bathroom and she couldn't wait, so really, I think she is doing great.
