What a week! I am late again. I just could not find the energy yesterday to do this. So while I am trying to think of something witty to say here let's get on with the Triumphs! Plus, the way that I am feeling it could take a very long time!
1. The boys started kid yoga this week! They both seem to like it! We shall see how the rest of the weeks go. Maybe I will even sneak in and take some pictures!
2. I have been working out!
3. Jared has also been working out!
4. Kellen is doing well in school and with his horn. He amazes me everyday!
Have a good week!

Fun In the Pool
We spent the weekend in South Beloit with Nana, Papa, Lexi, and James. We all stayed in a hotel with a pool. It was a nice pool and everyone had a wonderful time. We were all tired when we got home but it was a good tired. We just were not impressed with the 8 inches of snow in our driveway.
We had to spend some time outside the pool for a bit. The pool was closed because of an accident. So we played some air hockey. Kellen above is ready to go
Getting a little more serious now.

Ethan gave Lexi "swimming lessons" while we were there
Papa playing with the three boys. The game was to try to squirt water up the other person's nose. Sounds like fun doesn't it?
Ethan on Papa
Splash fight!!!
Papa using Ethan for a shield.
Kellen jumping
Up close Kellen. His eyes are looking kind of bad. But that is what happens when you hit the water with your face repeatedly.

Ethan deep in thought

No Baby Seals Were Harmed In The Making Of Your Chap Stick!
I thought that this was super funny so I had to share!
Ethan was reading a Chap Stick cap and it says "Twist Cap To Break Seal" Ethan then says "I don't want to break any baby seals!"
Where he came up with that I am not sure? But I laughed so hard!
Have a good day!

Oreo Cake
I broke out my cake decorating tools again today. They had been put away since Christmas. I have not had any real need lately. I had a great time doing this one. I also tried some new things. Let me know what you think.
The bottom half of my cake. The white frosting is a dam to hold all the filling in the cake when I put the other half on top. The filling was something that I tried for the first time. It is chocolate ganache. Which is just chocolate and cream blended together. I then added some cut up peanut butter cups in it. Let me tell you it is good.
The top half on the bottom
Frosting is on now I have to smooth it down
Smooth
Stuck some Oreo minis on the cake after I did the borders. Gave them eyes as I am sure you can see.
The finished cake
I need to get this guy to stop eating the cake.

Kellen's Bird!
No! Not that kind of bird! The kind of bird that Kellen painted! He came home and showed me this beautiful bird! I love it. He did so well. His teacher told him to keep this as she loves it. She also told him to sign up for advanced art next year.
Tiny Triumphs 7!
I am short on creativity today. I feel like my brain has been drained. So I will just get right down to it.
1. Ethan moved up to the Guppy group for swimming!
2. Kellen moved out of the Guppies and into the Minnows! My boys are getting to be good swimmers!
3. I have lost another .4 pound. Well, at least I did not gain.
4. The new bed is in! We are still getting used to it. So by next week I want to be sleeping like a baby!
Have a good week! We are going down halfway to meet up with my Dad and Ann for Christmas! We do Christmas in February because that is the way we roll!

Yummy!
I know that I don't usually cook but when I do I have some good results. Like tonight, I made Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts. Jared and I liked them but alas the boys did not like them. So we will be having them often for the adults. I also have NEVER made or tried a brussels sprout before. So I have to say that these are a good start.
Look how good they look. There are onions, water chestnuts, and of course brussels sprouts in there.
If anyone wants the recipe let me know and I will e-mail it to you. It is a Weight Watchers Point Plus recipe.
