It is on the way...

The Feingold program information is on the way!!!! Hopefully it is as great as I am expecting!!! I can't wait for it to get here so I can begin my learning and reading!!
1st book up is "Why Can't My Child Behave"!
We have 4 new lambs in the barn and it is COLD we are at a total of 16 lambs on 9 ewes. The newest ones are triplets and they are cute and black!!!
We are plugging along with our healthy eating. Budget is in full force as of bill paying time tonight and thank goodness tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!

Goals

So... As you know we are transforming into better eating, more exercise, and less poisonous food, dyes and other JUNK!! You are what you eat. So our goals for the month of January.
1. Eat fresh fruit, veggies, and lots of meat.
2. Limit the amount of processed food. Good bye cereal, boxed rice, and candy. (we sent the candy bag with dad in his work truck)
3. Bedtime 8:00- the children need to be in bed by 8 or 8:30 to give them adequate rest!
4. Remember our supplements
5. Continue to visit the chiropractor
6. Try not to drive everyone - CRAZY
7. The Bish's are setting budget - and this crazy mom isn't budging, nor will our family!!!!!!
8. Keep Brandon from smoking (he hasn't smoked since January 5th!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO
9. Get taxes ready!
10. Count to 10 before I react to my personal children -- I am pretty patient at school!(i think)

Goals for February
1. Continue the eating habits
2. Eat more fish
3. I will keep thinking.- sure there are more!

What are your short term goals!!!???

Goals

Fruit

We are going to a Christmas this evening and taking finger foods and tacos for supper! Since we are trying to eat all fresh or mostly, I am taking a Fruit Rainbow!! It should be fun for the kids and was very easy to make! I hope it stays put in the 15 minute travel!!!
It could be a new adventure for us... I mean the only healthy!!!
If you are interested the website is feingold.org, it is amazing what might happen!

Touchy Subject

Do you believe in healthy eating and healthy diet, or do you believe in medicine???

Tucker has been visiting the Chiropractor. We are changing diet, eliminating sugar, milk and trying to eat things from the garden or from an animal! I have also heard several others opinions about herbal supplements and proper diet instead of allergy medicine, breathing treatments and all of the above. I hate to be the crazy mom, but I would also HATE to have a child labeled, and put on a daily medicine far worse than allergies!!
I will research in my spare time, then hopefully create a naturally healthier diet for the main focus, Tucker, but also wondering if it wouldn't help my 7 year old, who has been a little, "naughy" lately.

Anxious to hear your opinion, healthy habits or medicine, what is your vote????

Rathbun Christmas 2012

Tucker and cousin Hayden have become great buddies!! They had a blast.

Tayden and Briley are buddies also, even though sometime our bug can't keep up!

Oh my, wonder what they are up too!?

They enjoyed Connect 4

The older group is relaxing - take it easy dad!

The Huggins Family Christmas is at Honeycreek Resort. Each year for the past 3 we have went on Saturday swam, eat supper, then play cards and enjoy. Sunday morning we swim, or eat breakfast and return home! It is a fun getaway with no, laundry, cleaning, or worrying about anything for a few hours!

Still... Christmas

Gifts at Grandma Lisa and Grandpa Dickies - Super Mario Brother ! Whoop Whoop we love that game!

Tucker got the dump truck to go with the Landfill!

Christmas at Grandpa Gary and Grandma Suzy's - Wow there are 10 kids and it was fun and wild!

Grandma Chuck had a minor setback with breaking her kneecap, but Christmas was exactly the same, she sat in her chair overwhelmed with presents!
