Spinning The Bad Stuff Away...

UGLY KNEES

A few weeks ago while skiing with Stella I got hit from behind by an out of control skier. Nothing too serious happen and thankfully he didn't take out Stella since I was skiing behind her to shield her from people like him. Most people that know me, know that I've got some mangled knees. 4 full reconstructions of ACL's and MCL'c and a few Patellas plus a few extra scopes. My knees have held up over the years but since I got hit a few weeks ago I tweaked it enough that every time I go skiing now my knee swells to the size of a grapefruit. Solution: spin, spin, spin. Spinning gets ride of all the fluid in my knee without having to go get it drained and keeps the blood flowing which promotes healing. Here is where to spin bike come into double duty. Not only am I getting a work out but I'm also spinning away the bad stuff in my knee. Woot!
Stella was getting ready for bed and taking a shower so I hopped onto the bike for an hour ride. Here is a picture Stella took....

While I was cooling down...Stella climbed onto the handle bars and hung out with me in her PJ's... and then it was time for bed!

Nighty, Night!

Meaning To....

I've been meaning to post pictures of the finished wall at the office for a while now but it seems like every time I remember I'm either not near a computer or something else gets in the way. Well ...here it is, we decided not to do different patio layouts on top, those are going in a different spot but we did put some large slabs on top so we could display our furniture. Now, on to the next 1,000 different projects I have in mind for around here... only that's going to have to wait till tomorrow, the lil one is not feeling well so my mama went and picked her up from school and I'm heading to the doc with her in a few hours to get her checked out. Don't think it's anything major just chest congestion , runny nose but no fever. Nothing a little rest and TLC wont fix! I love the fact that everything is finally starting to turn green. Green makes every thing look better! :)

Ski Team!

A few weeks ago Stella started training with the Eldora Ski Team every Saturday. Now Saturday's can't come soon enough. I get up at 6 and get Stella up at 6:30 and we are out the door by 7. Usually we get up to Eldora around 8:30 after making a stop to get mama coffee and Stella and donut or two! :) By 9am Stella is ripping up the slopes with her coach (Dave) and 5 other little girls her age. She is having such a blast it's hard to believe we didn't do this sooner. I never noticed these signs before and thought it was pretty cool the ski area was showing some love to the local ski programs. Stella proceed to then inform me that they've been there for quite some time. Oops! :) Stella and two of her little ski buddies! Stella ripping up the GS course! At the end of the day which is usually at 3 all the kids have to help tear down the course. Stella is doing such an awesome job that it makes me one proud mama. Much Love!!!
