video trial

I got a flip mini video recorder for Christmas and have been playing with it some since then. So here is 1 video from tonight and one from the other night when we were playing with the wii. Right after I got the video from tonight Austin fell off the ledge backwards and then about 15 minutes later he did it again, so I am pretty sure he will have a mark tomorrow. Hope you like them, I know they are kind of jumpy but I am just figuring out how to work my flip, but I must say this little thing is cool and will be nice to take on vacations and stuff because it is so nice and small.

Blogging is my new resolution- Yah right

Ok so it's a good thing that blogging was not one of my new years resolution's because I am failing at it. I read other people's but I honestly have not felt the urge lately to write. We have been busy since with work, school, life but we have also been really enjoying our family time lately so I have not been interested in blogging. We bought a wii for Christmas and have been playing that alot, and have really been enjoying the back yard alot with the nice weather. In fact yesterday it was so nice outside Allie went out to ride her bike for a little while and Heath wanted to wash my car. But I really did not want to just hang out inside so I convinced Heath that we should take the kids to the park. We have a nice one in our neighborhood, but there is a nature preserve with tons of trails, walking paths, and a huge park not far from our house so we decided to go there. Since it was still light outside for a while we decided to walk first around the loop before we went to the playground. I have not gone and walked there recently and I totally wished I had my camera with me. I told Heath in spring when things start to green up we will have to take the kids to try and get some pictures of them. I also think I need to go walk there more often because they have some very nice paths and it will help get me in shape before we go to Jackson again this summer. Anyways after our walk we let the kids play for about an hour. Both of them are total outdoors kids which I just love. They both really seem to light up whenever we are outside.

So that is what we have been doing all January. I am actually "working" from home today because Allie is off school. She has a friend over so I was able to get my work done and Austin is at the sitter. Oh this is so nice, I wish I was able to work from home all the time. Hope you all are enjoying your month and the warm/cold/warm weather we have been having. While I like the cold it sure is nice to have warm days in between to prevent cabin fever. I will try and be better about updating this but I can not make any promises. I think we have almost got the computer fixed (5 months later) so i will actually be able to get to my pictures again easily-that will be nice.
