PICTURES!!!
















Well now that I know how to add a photo I am going to try this. These are pictures from our time in Minnesota so some have the Prichard's in them. Hope you enjoy. Beginning next week I will have my goals and failures for Workout Wednesday. I hope to have more positive goals than failures:D

Bear with Me, I'm new at this:D

Okay well here goes again. I am not very faithful in posting on here because of all the other things going on. Also we only have slow speed internet and it takes a while. I am at the library now and maybe I should make this an every Wednesday thing and try to post once a week.
I am trying to do what Lisa is doing, to loose weight and to be more healthy. I am training for a 5K in Overeisel at the end of May. I ran it last year without much training and would like to do better this year. Abby is running it with me. She is involved in Girls on the Run. We did it together last year without walking (that was our goal). Now this year maybe we can try to improve on our time.
Along with everyone else spring is a busy time at our house. Tom has baseball practice twice a week. Paul is busy planting and he plays ball 2 nights a week too. Abby has Girls on the Run, Becky & Joe just go along with whatever we are doing. Abby & Paul also have bee hives to keep the Feyen's supplied with fresh honey. They have to take care of them a couple times each week too. Among all this we still try to eat together a couple times each week.
I need someone to tell me how to post pictures of here. I can't figure it out and have a lot to put out here from Minnesota and just the kids in general.

Spring Break 2009

I am going to try this blogging thing and see how I like it. I am sure I won't be as faithful as Lisa & Charity are, but I will try. Bear with me as I am new at this.


Hello Everyone!! We had a great spring break in Minnesota. The Prichard's let us come visit for a week. We had a great time. This was the first family vacation we have ever been on that didn't include a softball tournament. There were a lot of worries about who wouldn't have fun and if Paul would get bored. Thankfully everyone had fun and felt right at home. If you ask the Prichard's maybe we were to "at home".
It was great to get to know them better in a more intimate setting. There were games played nightly. The new favorite game is "The Farm Game". It will be coming to the cottage, but beware the Tom, Joel & Anna are very competitive and got really good at it. They beat up on Paul and here that never happens so it was goo to put him in his place.
Julia had to deal with us being downatairs with her. We invaded her bathroom and took over the TV room. We also were up earlier than she was, but she never complained and was very gracious to us. Thanks Julia (or as Joe calls her "Judya)
We had a trip to the Mall of America and spent the whole day in the amusement park and never got to go shopping. I think I was the only one sad about that. We had a great time and can't wait to see Tom, Lois, Julia, Ellen, Joel & Anna in 70 days at the cottage. Anna informed me of how many days are left until the cottage.
Ellen got her braces off while we were there and did a lot of smiling:D
