Game On Diet!!

Philip and I have recently started a healthy living diet called the Game on Diet. You eat 5 healthy meals a day, get 7 hours of sleep, excercise every day, and drink 3 LITERS of water a day. We have a team here in Highlands, and we are competing against a team of friends in Round Rock. It's so much harder than I realized it would be, and I'm having a hard time not sneaking a candy bar (or a Diet Dr. Pepper)!! We really are hoping that some of the habits we are forming these next 3 1/2 weeks stick. The only thing I hope doesn't stick is the rate I'm losing weight!
Everyday members from each team send emails, and on day 2 I was hearing that people had lost 2 or 3 lbs, and I had lost none. NONE!?! Finally this morning I weighed, and I've lost 1 lb. YAH!! Then I find out that yesterday Philip had lost 2! He didn't want to tell me. What are you gonna do? I have to be happy for him.
WAY TO GO Game Oners! Keep up the good work!

This is what we sit around and do on a weekend we are not out running the roads...random, stupid things...it's a good thing we only get about 1 of these weekends a month...good for your sake! Hallie can't quite figure out why that horrible sound is coming out of her dad...she was hilarious.

Trying to Roll Over

^This was on January 4. My daughter and wife crack me up.^

^This was on January 8. Hallie took a small step backward in her rolling progress...but she is still so cute.^

What's been happening the last month!

I can't believe it's been over a month since I've posted, and I would love to catch everyone up on what's been going on. We have done something every weekend since the last post so I'm just going to go one weekend at a time.

Chris and Angie (Philip's brother and his wife) came and stayed with us a few days. Chris spoke to our students about what is going on in London and really challenged the students. Then, that weekend on Nov. 14 we had our annual Movie in the Park. It's always hard chosing a movie, but we ended up showing Jurassic Park. It was a really good night.

The next weekend, Philip was an usher at a friend from College's wedding. We ended up staying Friday night in Sugarland after the rehearsal dinner. Philip got a $55 straight razor shave, and the wedding was beautiful. Then, that sunday we had a couples baby shower for Angie at Philip's parents house. This is a picture I stole from Angie's blog of the hostesses with Angie.
Then it was Thanksgiving weekend. All of my family, including my mom's side, went to my Dad's uncles's home for lunch. It was nice, but I don't think I even knew everyone there. Then we had dinner at Philip's parents house with Cody and Jamie and Amber and her family. This is Hallie's Thanksgiving dress. Isn't it precious.

Now to December. Am I making you tired yet?

The first weekend of December, Philip went on a Junior High mission trip to the Round Rock Children's home. So, Hallie and I packed up and went to Canton. I was hoping to find Christmas gifts, but all I got was a metal bow for our front door and this outfit for Hallie.
This past weekend, we sent Philip's parents out of town and all of Philip's siblings and spouses came to work on their house. We painted, worked on flooring, laid baseboards, and hung crown molding. We barely finished the living room when they arrived back home. On Sunday, all the siblings exchanged gifts since we won't all see each other on Christmas. We also had the Student ministry Christmas party Sunday night.

This weekend we are finishing remodeling the FHSM room and having Christmas with my dad's side of the family.

Hope you are having a wonderful Holiday Season, and staying just as busy as you want to be.
