So now it's Feb. We have had a pretty good January. We are still eating clean. I am even making my own bread which is fun for me. I'm living up to my own expectations of being a stay at home mom who's house smells like a fresh loaf of bread and makes everything from scratch.I can't wait until I can start my garden again. I'm testing new recipes and coming up with a pretty good array of healthy foods we like to eat that are considered clean. I had a great time at the gym here doing three new class launches. Pretty much just a big party where we show everyone the newest release of Les Mills calsses with new moves and new music. We have a new class now called Body Combat that I am certified in. We launched it the same day we did our new Body Pump release. We had a packed room and we actually fogged the group fitness room. Check out the steam on the mirrors in the picture of us after the launch in all black. Brandi and I also launched the newest Body Jam realease. It was a huge party. I fealt like we were in a night club. We had strobe lights and games and food and we danced the night away. It was a blast for me. Jam is my ultimate favorite class to teach by far.
Typical me and Brandi relationship here!!! She's probably thinking," She's nuts but I love her!"
Bella is doing much better. She lost her top front tooth and is so proud and cute! If you are following us you may know that Bella has a really hard time in school with talking and not following directions and getting out of her seat and being defiant. So after three years of listening to the same stuff I decided to take her to the Dr. Jeff also has ADHD and he was given some medication as a child that did not sit well with him.With the army he can't take anything now. Now there are so many safer drugs out there that I knew I had to try something for her. I had already blamed my parenting and tried to change her diet completely. She was tested and diagnosed with ADHD by our family Dr. She is more ADD than the hyperness. She is doing great on a drug called Vyvanse. Her teacher keeps writing good notes now and she is earning blue tickets. That's a good thing bc/ after 15 blue tickets she gets to go to the treasure chest and pick a toy. I'm so proud of her. I'm glad that I am helping her. I am getting lots of support from all over to about ADD and what causes it and how you can treat it. I've spoken with other moms and adults who have it. They have been a huge support for me. Never judge someone who has ADD or who is seeking help until you haved walked a day in there shoes. It's real and not made up, and life can be easier with help! This is right after I pulled her tooth our for her with mommy magic!
Cole and Chloe are still the same little kids. They have grown a little taller but they are still my cute little babies.
Well. All of us including Jeff are doing well now. Jeff is hanging in there. He appreciates any cards or packages you may want to send him. Let me know if you want his address. Soldiers just want to feel like they aren't forgotten over there. He is flying a lot over there and is safe so far and has not been shot at. Keep him in your prayers.

Hey Laine.
I am reminded of you quite often, esp since I moved into Tamarack on the Lake. Well, I just wanted to write to you about Bella. I have been through it all with my boys. Alexx has been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD, he as well, is very defiant. He has been on medication and has responded very well and is in the top on his class. Elijah, on the other hand, we fought putting him on medication and has had alot of behavioral problems. He is going to repeat the 2nd grade. Alexx tried Vyvanse over the summer. That is the only medication he did not respond to. He was fine at school, but he was very easily agitated and got annoyed very easily, plus he became very emotional and sensitive. But it did last much longer than the other medicine. Does Tricare cover it for you guys there? Anyways, good luck with the smaller two. ADHD/ADD is hereditary :) Lil B starts Kindergarden next year so all three of mine will be on school... They are all in now, Lil B goes to More at Four at the elementary now...
Well, if you ever want to talk about kids, let me know! Your updates page is awesome! Love the pics and videos! You are quite the stay at home mommy and military wife!! I am so happy for you and Jeff!!
