To date.....

8 weeks ago I started with my wonderful personal trainer Lisa. And to date I have lost a total of 6.50 inches and almost 6 lbs. I will do my physical test on Monday. I am working hard and love seeing the #'s go down. Hopefully I will get back to a single patty hold the fries Steffaney instead of a double quarter pounder with cheese, king sized Steffaney.

Wine fest in Bad durkheim

The fests are huge over here.
The kids wanted to ride the scary ride ALONE...... Sarriah came out crying, Parker came out laughing.
Daddy rocks!!!! He won both the kids a teddy bear.
A very nice old man took this pic for us.
The food here in Germany is AMAZING!!!!!!
Trav and I LOVE Bad durkheim. We would live there forever if we could.

Date night with Everclear

Trav and I went to an Everclear concert last night in Illesheim Germany. Besides the fact we were freezing the whole time, it was a blast. We took Gann along with us. This concert was one of 2 free concerts that the band had in Germany this week. They gave us quit a show and was very active and friendly with the small audience. They invited all the ladies on stage to dance with them. I didnt go up!There were maybe 100 people there. We were less then 10 feet away from the stage. Gann caught a pick that was thrown out and I caught a drum stick. It ROCKED!!!!!!!

New addition........

Trav's new baby!!!! He got a really good deal, and now feels very tough and manly.

Parker is now on 2 wheels.

We now have 2 kids riding on 2 wheels. Parker was so excited, he waited all day for dad to get home to take the training wheels off his bike. (Because mom's are not good with tools he told me.) Once they were off so was he. It took a few times of Trav running behind him holding on, but after that ZOOM!!!!! Parker peddles so fast and doesnt really get what the brake is for yet so we have to be waiting for him at curbs or roads so we can grab him before BOOM, SMACK, POW!!!!!!He was so proud of himself for not falling over a million times and told Sarriah how much better he is at riding his bike then she is. We are working on his "big head" issues. Sarriah may have needed more bandaids then Parker; but she can work the brake without flipping over the handle bars. So now that we all can ride a bike we will start doing the family bike rides.

Family fun day with the FRG!

Today was Family fun day A.K.A FRG fund raiser day. Our booths were the dunk tank, and a popcorn and water stand. We did pretty well and actually It was a blast! Parker was an ace at the dunk tank. He dunked the battalion XO with every ball he threw. Everyone was a really great sport. Sarriah just kept hitting the button with her hand. The kids had their faces painted several times, ate lots of food, played in the bouncing castle, and sat in the MP car turning on the siran and yelling over the loud speaker. Trav played paint ball all day which was awesome for him. All in all, it was a pretty great day. We have a really great battalion. Even though I can stress over the FRG, I really enjoy my position. It keeps me busy and involved in something that makes a difference. I'm just so happy it didnt rain today.

Our ROCKIN 4 day!

Monkey Mountain in Kintzheim France, You walk around with the monkeys and feed them popcorn. Dino park near Hanover Germany, which was 10 hrs in the car for a for 1 & 1/2 hrs worth of fun. It was a really cool park though. It was fun to get out and play as a family.
