Maggie having babies, more fun with the kids






OK, we need some takers on the Family Biggest Loser Challenge. Join Amy, Bill and me for weigh ins on Mondays and use this blog to keep in touch. Send encouragement, pictures and other goodies! We can lose 20 pounds by June! Let me know if you are "IN".

BABIES AT HOME

We are in the winter lull between sports and there's not much to do outside in the yard since it is covered in about six inches of snow. We might be having puppies by the end of February, so we'll keep everyone posted! Look for fun pictures of Maggie coming soon. She's just beginning to show and will surpass Megan within a couple of weeks!


Enjoy some new pictures of the kids. Hannah has been anchoring the morning announcements at school with her best friend Morgan. Nephew, Dallas is an outstanding director and has figured out the computer system for the broadcast and helps each news team work the computer smoothly.




Gabe and his girl friend Heather have been spending a lot of time with the family. She loves playing marbles with us and I think we have created a MONSTER! I just gave the kids a stock challenge. We are all picking four stocks, they must be over $5 a share and we are going to each spend a pretend $40,000 kitty. We will see who has the best picks by May 15th! Send your stock tips my way! I wan't to win the $50 prize!

HEIDBREDER BIGGEST LOSER CHALLENGE

Anyone ready to shed a few pounds? Amy has come up with a Biggest Loser Challenge for the entire family. We will strive for a healthier life style and try and keep each other motivated on line and by weighing in each Monday night. We also know that money is a motivator. Amy is putting together an outline for petty penalties. For example, if we don't work out three times a week for 20 minutes, we will owe $1 into the "kitty". When we all get together this summer, we will determine who lost the most and they will get the money we have all been putting into our penalty kitty. Are you in?? I am going to see if this blog format will work for us to post pictures and progress, so bookmark this page and keep your eyes posted. Stay tuned for Amy's outline!
