Whats going on with the Reids

Lets see to start off with we are settled officially now in the new house and loving it. We actually took on the task of putting in new wood floors in part of the house. Oh wow let me tell you about that. First we got them laid then it was suddenly Thanksgiving so we put all the furniture back in those rooms and had Thanksgiving with my Aunt and Uncle and a friend of mine, it was so wonderful and nice! Then we finally a couple weeks later moved the furniture back out so we could putty, sand then sand some more and more, then move out for a few days to a nearby motel and Bryce put the final couple finishes on them. Whew it was work but OH so worth it. I LOVE Them! They look amazing! Thanks Bryce for working so hard!
Then we FINALLY got to put up our beautiful big Christmas tree, wow it was gorgeous. We celebrated Christmas with Bryces family on Christmas Eve Day, thanks Steve and Teri for hosting and all the work you did. Then Christmas morning we got up and drove to my sisters house in Arnett and spent the afternoon and part of the evening with my family. It was so nice to see everyone. Thank you Audrey and Bill for hosting and helping with the food. Dinner was FANTASTIC! So after stuffing ourselves completely full for 2 days we had church on Sunday, then came home to rest. I am not sure what evening that next week we finally let our boys open presents from us. Jacob loves to open presents now!

Well then of course the next week was New Years so NYE Kelley and Josh kept the boys overnight, yes they are brave, and Bryce and I spent some LOONG over due alone time and actually went to the movies and out to dinner. It was so fun! Josh and Kelley had a great time with the boys and the boys were really good for them. Then on NY day we got up and went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and were so blessed to run into Greg and Kim. It was really great to see them. We all visited for a little while then we ran off to pick up the boys. The boys were happy and tired so we took care of a few small things that needed done then came home and we all napped for a couple hours then we took the boys and went to see another movie. It was fun but oh so cold! Then Sunday we rested quite a bit we were all still worn out. It seems that all 4 of us are fighting off colds, ugh not fun! Jacob has been napping really good all week so that tells me he doesn't feel real great!

Bryce and I have started the 40 day challenge with a group of people , please pray for us it is not easy to stay off most foods and only eat specific things. Hopefully we will make it through and have a little smaller waists in the end! ;) Once we get the foods down we will add in the exercise so hopefully that will help even more. Well I better be off to bed I have had a few really busy days and I am ready to close my eyes! Good night all!!
