I'm looking forward to a casual weekend. Sometimes, the weekends with no set plans turn out to be the most fun. Avery and I are having a 'girls night' tonight. That usually entails staying up a little later to watch a movie, eat popcorn and licorice together. Then we take over mine and Mark's room (he gets the couch) and we talk and giggle until we fall asleep. Nothing too exciting, but she loves them.

We have been having beautiful weather this week. It's been so nice to have Avery and Dylan playing outside after dinner. They love going to the school to play on the equipment, or playing on our playset in our backyard.

I can't believe April is around the corner, and then that means May is next. It's hard to believe that my little princess is going to be FIVE. Why does it go so fast? Even my 'baby' Dylan is growing so fast - potty training like a champ and talking SO much more suddenly. He is still so cuddly though and I hope that remains for a long while.

Canada is GOLDEN

This weekend was great, but the highlight was definitely Canada taking the gold during the USA/Canada game. We were at Grandma Donna's watching it. Even the kids got excited about it (especially Avery). Good times.

Once again, it's been awhile since I blogged. Everything is going great. I just signed up Avery for baseball, soccer and swimming for the summer. Dylan is just doing swimming. He'll have to wait a year or two for the other sports.

Dylan's vocabulary is getting bigger and more enounciated daily. It's so exciting watching them learn to speak. My personal favourite is his new "love you, mommy". Usually followed by his famous hug and a big kiss.

Avery is doing great at school and still really enjoying it. She is becoming such a little ham/comedian. She LOVES it when she can get me to crack up.

I am on a weight loss mission. I am at the highest weight I have ever been (not including pregnancies). There is a 40th birthday party being thrown for one of our good friends April 10th. I am hoping to lose 15 lbs in the next 6 weeks or else it's just going to be a depressing evening out. I also want to be healthier and happier in order to be the best mom I can be. The healthier I am, the more energy I have and in turn, the better mother/wife/friend I will be. I'll try to remember to post my weekly weight lost to track my progress.

Here's a reminder to myself that summer is coming! These gray, cold, dreary days will not last forever!
