Do two-a-day workouts two days this week (or more if you have the gumption). A week from today is our final weigh-in - Best of luck to all of us!

Thanksgiving at the Petersons

We had a great trip but the excitement of the airport wore off quickly.



We had a great time playing games, eating, playing games, watching You Tube videos, playing games, eating, AND DANCING

Cade LOVED playing in the rocks. Everytime we let him go outside he'd head down the stairs and sit in the driveway playing with rocks. Towards the end of the week he could open the door by himself so any time we were looking for Cade we started with the driveway.

Weigh In...

Alright - you can do it. Step on that scale. And NO MULLIGANS this week - everyone MUST confess their weight. No guessing, either. Just get 'er done. Thanks y'all!

THANKS!

Chris! Thanks so much for mentioning it. I've been meaning to post something for a few weeks now, but... yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh well.

The Gold Family has Father Christmas this year. Please send your contributions ASAP! I apologize for how late in the game this is. Thanks for remembering.

Camille

Father Christmas?

Are we doing this this year? Who's turn and where do we send the $$$?

Miraculously, I didn't gain this week! 189.5 for me... fully dressed, no shoes (take that!).

I Finally Got My Girl Named Hannah...

Hannah Montana

Pretty cute, don't you think?

Happy Halloween!

FUNNY

OK, we laughed til we cried. In honor of the 2008 summer games, you gotta watch his amazing gymnastics clip.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBPjhB9d3jc

THEN, search YouTube for anything else Paul Hunt gymnastics. You will LOVE it! The uneven bars routine is, I think, my favorite.

Love ya

For anyone who has worked in a school or...

...just wants a good laugh.

SCHOOL TEACHERS, I BET YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD HEARD AND SEEN IT ALL!!
OKAY.

How would you pronounce this child's name?

Le-a (written just like that)

Leah?? NO Lee - A??
NOPE Lay - a??
NO Lei?? Guess Again.

It's pronounced 'Ledasha' Oh yes...you read it right. This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA. Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong. SO, if you see something come across your desk like this, please remember to pronounce it correctly. When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said 'the dash don't be silent'


I laughed so hard at this. I think I could name a few parents that fit this mold.

I thought we were supposed to put our weights here today.

Well, if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.
Anyways, I weighed 263 this morning, and that was after eating roast, mashed potatoes with gravy, and rolls for dinner yesterday. MAN, IT WAS GOOD!!!!!!!

Family - A True Blessing

Thought I would add some humor to this post so that I don't get too emotional.

I just wanted to write and thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers over the past two weeks. I could truly feel people praying for me all across the United States and could feel the spirit that was within me.

I'm one of the very lucky women who received a clean bill of health from my biopsies and I realize that our Heavenly Father is watching over me, for which I'm so thankful.

I'm also so thankful to have each of you in my life. Just knowing that you all are there for me and Brian whenever we need you means more than you could possibly know.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and do something fun together and enjoy this precious life that we have been given.

Sorry to be so serious but I wanted y'all to know how special you are and to thank you once again.!!!!

Love to everyone - Kathy

P.S. - Gotta love those rabbit ears!!!

Biggest Loser Week 1 - Initial Weigh In

Alrighty, the weights are in:
LeAnn - 144
Jeri - 191.5
Camille - 194
Boyd - 204
Jason - 218.8
Brian - 266
Dale - 267

Each week, I'll post your beggining weight with your new weight and a percentage of how much you've lost. All of you emailed your weight to me this week, which was great and we can continue that way, OR you can just post your weight here on the blog. BUT in order to keep the blog clear for others, post your weight as a comment to whoever posts first. I ususally post my weight first thing Monday morning, so you can comment to my post and give your weight there. Does that make sense? Good luck this week!

Week 1 Challenge of the Week (10/13 - 10/19)

Get a notebook and KEEP a RECORD! Have one place where you keep track of everything: your minutes of exercise, water drank, vitamins swallowed, food consumed.

So, this is an easy 10 points - just get a notebook and write things down. (You don't have to be 100% you just have to get started to get the challenge points this week).

BIGGEST LOSER - Let's do it!

Alright, Biggest Loser Contestants, the game begins tomorrow, October 13th! Here are the rules for the Price Family Biggest Loser of 2008:

• You must weigh in on the SAME scale every Monday - no "weight shopping" on different scales!
• You must post your weight to the blog or in an email to me (Camille) no later than midnight on Mondays. To keep the blog uncluttered, post your weight as a comment to whomever posts their weight first that week. Does that make sense?
• Results will be posted ON THE BLOG every Tuesday. If you want me to email the results to you, you'll have to let me know.
• Your weight as of 10/13/2008 is your beginning weight. I realize that several of us have shed some pounds this year, but this game is not retroactive - sorry!
• The winner of the Grand Prize will be the person who loses the largest PERCENTAGE of weight in the next 10 weeks. Final weigh-in will be Monday, December 15th by midnight.
• Prize money contributions: you can either hold onto it until Dec. 15th and then send it to the winner, OR you can put it in my PayPal account where it will sit in holding until we have a winner. My PayPal account address is thegolds11@msn.com. Let me know which you all plan to do and how much you all plan to contribute (if you haven't already).

NOTE - once you start the Biggest Loser contest, and commit funds to the Prize Money, you're in it to the end. You can't quit halfway through. Is that a deal?

We will ALSO have a Biggest Changer for 2008. You DO NOT have to compete in this to be part of the Biggest Loser contest. This is just an added bonus for those of us who like incentives to develop healthy habits and make lasting changes. These are the rules:

• Keep track of your Point Possibilities (explained below), then calculate your points and post/send those numbers in with your Monday weight. Your total points will be posted next to your results on Tuesdays.
• You must send in your points weekly - no "saving up." I will only add up a week's worth of points each week. Does that make sense?
• The winner of the Points Prize will be the person who has the highest number of points as of Monday, December 15th by midnight. The Biggest Changer Prize will be either money OR a gift certificate of some sort.
• IT IS POSSIBLE to be the Biggest Loser AND the Biggest Changer for 2008.

These are the Point Possibilities (50 points possible each week):

1. Drink 8 (8 oz.) glasses of water each day - worth 1 point per day (must have ALL 8 cups).
2. Excercise 3 times per week - worth 2 points for every 30 minutes of real exercise. (MAX. possible, 12 points/180 minutes of exercise per week)
3. Take a multivitamin each day - worth 1 point per day
4. Keep a Food Diary (write down EVERYTHING you eat & drink) - worth 2 points per day. Calculate carbs and/or calories for extra benefit.
5. Challenge of the Week - worth 10 points.

So, enjoy a big calorie, carb loaded meal tonight, and let the games begin!

Here we go again...

I don't know if any of you were having problems with reading the metalic fridge, but I decided to try the retro fridge to see if it would be better. Let me know what you think.

Love your computer geek sister!!

Redneck Fire Alarm

I don't know where my friend finds these things.
This is pretty funny though.

Tornado in Enterprise

Zach sent an email yesterday that he was okay. He said that they went to the church for two hours and he practiced the organ while waiting for the weather to settle. It was an F1 that they had to close the Walmart because of damage... sounds like big time to me. I checked out a local news website for Enterprise and saw a video of someone talking about when the si-reens went off. I hope Zach doesn't come home talking like that... :) He did say that he just wrassled it to the ground... told it to go back home to Oklahoma.

Biggest Loser - some questions

OK - So far we have Boyd & LeAnn, Dale, Jason, Brian & Kathy, Jeri, and me. For anyone still interested, you have until Monday to join up! This is going to be an individual competition, not families, and we start at our current weight as of Monday, 10/13.

Alrighty, now for the questions: Do you want to do this strictly on weight loss, or do we want to do a point system as well? What I mean is, we can set up goals and challenges that are worth so many points (like 8 glasses of water each day for a week = 10 points), so that we are calculating points earned as well as percentage of weight lost each week. Truly, the idea behind this is to develop healthy habits that will help keep the weight off, so I personally like the ideas of having goals and challenges to do each week. In the end, we could have a "points" winner and a "weight-lost" winner, or we could combine the two to have one really BIG loser/winner.

Also, do we want to send the money to a treasurer right away, as the game begins, or do we just agree to pay up on December 15th to whoever is the biggest loser? We were also wondering if we want to use some of the prize money to give out little prizes along the way - prizes for especially difficult weekly challenges, or a halfway-point winner's prize, or something like that. Lemme know what you think! This is going to be fun! I'm excited.

Gimme your ideas asap and I'll put together The Rules and post them here and email them out to everybody before the week is done.

Contest

Would anyone be intersted in doing a Price Family Biggest Loser contest? Anyone who wanted to could pitch in a little $ and then the winner takes all. But it isn't like gambling, because we all win if we lose some weight and inches. :) We could start right away and go through the holidays (or end just before Christmas) or we could wait until the first of the year. What do you think? Any takers?

Remember the Good Old Days?

We were going through some old pictures and found this.
This picture was taken because this price was high at the time.

Birthday Birds

Meg used her birthday money on her very own pets, because a goat, 6 outside cats, and an indoor dog are just not enough! She invested in some zebra finches that live in her room. They shall remain nameless because she hasn't picked names for them yet. But they are so cute! Remember the Pixar short, "For the Birds"? That is the type of sound they make, like little squeakers - not too loud. She picked a male and a female because she is hoping they will marry and have a family - so that should be an adventure! We'll keep you all posted!

Economic Rescue

So, I'm curious. How do you all feel about the economic bailout/rescue plan?

Dry Ice Bomb!!

Two reasons to love Oklahoma!!

We went to dinner Friday night before the high school game in Norman. Barry Switzer was there for a pre-game promotional event having dinner with a group of people who had won some contest.

Just gotta love it!!

Politcal Humor

The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.

After much back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest would take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota .

There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties.. At the end of the first day, John McCain returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.

Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having another 'bad hair' day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.

At the end of the 2nd day John McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came in again with none.

That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, 'Obama, I think John McCain is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun.. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.'

The next night (after John McCain returns with 50 fish), Harry Reid said to Obama, 'Well, tell me, how is he cheating?'

Obama replied, 'Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting holes in the ice.'

Peterson Update

Hello All,
We are settling in pretty well here in Knoxville. I left Idaho with sweatshirts and long pants for the kids but now it's back to shorts and t-shirts. Kaitlyn is 100% recovered. Tonight we were following Nate to a store (we both drove) and Kaitlyn kept saying "go faster mommy". Then when we were approaching the stoplight and it was yellow she said "stay yellow, stay yellow". Cade must be teething because he's been very fussy, but he's still wild just before bed. If you click on the link to see our blog Nate posted some videos of the kids. They're pretty funny! We are happy to be here and look forward to this adventure. We will miss being so close to you all in Idaho, but are happy to be close to Brain and Kathy. And we're closer to the Tanners, right?
Just FYI: my friend/mission companion, Tammy Stevens, just got married.
My new cell number is: 865-243-7194.

Happy Birthday, Meg! Dreams Really Do Come True...

Try JibJab Sendables® eCards today!

I'm so happy!

I have officially been accepted at BYU-Idaho! I'm a real student beginning (I think) winter semester (Jan. - Apr.). I'm so excited (and grateful) that I just had to share! Love ya'll!

Camille

Our POOR Puppy!

Our poor little Kitty dog has been sick for a while. She had these funky sores on her legs that the vet originally thought were racoon bites. So, we treated her with three different types of anitbiotic over the past 5 months, but to no avail. We finally stopped going to the vet, hoping it would "run it's course." But, the sores seemed to spread. Recently, we saw that where the sores were the most heavily concentrated - her legs - she was actually losing her hair! We took her back to the vet and they decided to shave her down to the skin, hoping that would help heal these sores. Since no groomers would touch her with the sores, she has looked pretty mangy since March. Well - I don't know if this is much better, but we hope it will help her get better. You can see that she is just covered with those nasty sores! They are running a biopsy, trying to figure out what is up with our little pooch. The vet thought it could be some parasite they've not encountered before or.... doggy Lupus! So, we wait for a week to find out the fate of our little Kitty. We are so sad for her, but at the same time we love (and laugh at) our little naked dog - she shivers constantly!



When it started to rain, we suddenly couldn't find our dog!

Funny mission story

In a letter I got from Zach this week he told this funny story:

We went to Wal-Mart tonight and some random black lady was squinting like she was trying to read something behind me, but she run up to me and squeezed me in a hug hard enough to suffocate a turtle and said, "Hey, Sugar, I just needed a hug from Jesus today!"

Newsbreak

Just a NEWSFLASH! Henry & Josh's team won 34-6 today. It was a fun game to watch. The center cracked a rib in their last game and can't play for (probably) the rest of the season. So, Henry volunteered for the position & has done a great job. He was a little nervous for his first game as center, but he did really well. He was happy and the coaches were happy.

Josh also got a new position on the team. He plays tight end now - I don't really know what he was playing before.... three back? Anyway, he made a SWEET catch in the endzone today. He had three guys covering him and he just reached those long ol' arms up and plucked the pass out of the air to make the touchdown. It was so fun to watch! Of course, my camera was pointed at the ground because I was too busy watching and not videoing the play! Jason was chatting with an old high school buddy and missed the whole thing! It was great - a fun game today.

Just wanted to keep you all POSTED!

Meg is part of an all-girl flag football league and has her first game on Thursday - should be fun. I'll post photos and video fer shur.

Janie started taking piano lessons from Katie Hatch, and really enjoys that - to my surprise. She continues to be an utter socialite who cares deeply about her appearance.

Sam continues to explore the avenues of his imagination and ability. He has broken from tradition and chosen to play the trumpet in band instead of the saxaphone. He practices frequently, and we love it because he loves it. Although, he is a little TOO obsessed with the notion that trumpet players make the best kissers for my comfort! He has also recently learned how to crack Russ's Australian bullwhip. So if he's not playing scales with his trumpet, he's cracking the whip. He is such a gem!

Russ is doing well, too. He was recently given a promotion at work - rather they finally gave him the title and pay for the work he already does (isn't that always the way). He continues to be the rock we all tie our wacky lives to - so steady and stable and... hot. And, for those of you who don't know, I have finished working at the elementary school to become the director of the drama program at the high school. I don't teach the class, but I will do all of the directing of plays and other productions. I get paid a little stipend and with Russ's promotion, I could quit working at the elementary school. Truly, this is such a blessing from Heavenly Father because I also started my BYU-Idaho classes again and I think I would have crumbled under the load!

Alrighty-O! There's the news update! I hope to send some video of photos sometime soon!

Cade walking

Mom Price Makes Headlines.....Happy Birthday!

Jordan's Big Debut

Following in the footsteps of his big brothers, Jordan marched in his first home game tonight. PCN won by a lopsided 45-7 against a cross-town foe.

Everybody wants him.

Birthday Sundae

We had a sister's lunch and went shopping with Mom today for her birthday. Afterward, we went to Leatherby's Family Creamery and shared a HUGE ice cream Sunday...







The hot fudge sauce was SOOOOOOOO good, we couldn't get enough! Especially MOM!


Wanna see that again, close up?

New address

Here is Nate (and sound to be Cindys) new temporary address:
401 S Gallaher View Rd #204
Knoxville, TN 37919

Not that anyone writes letters or sends packages anymore anyway but just incase you were dying to know.

Just wondering.

If anyone ever gets on the blog, I made a change to the background. For some reason not everyone can see it. On our desktop we can't get it, but on the laptop we can. Let me know if you have a background on the blog when you're on or if it's just white.

Happy Birthday, Chris & Clark!

So sorry that we missed your birthdays - I hope they were great! It looks like Clark had fun birthday shopping - hope your birthday shopping was equally fun! LOVE YOU!

Welcome to adulthood

Happy Birthday Clark!

You're never too old to get excited about a new bike... or ride it in the store. He told me you couldn't buy something without test driving it. This is Clark's most exciting birthday present. Everything else was boring stuff like sheets, pillows, toilet scrubbers and an ironing board. By the way Cathy and LeAnn, thanks for teaching Clark how to iron. He might be living on Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms (not a fan of cooking), but at least he'll look good. He's excited to move into the dorms a week from Monday.

Raspberries are ON!

So my raspberries are on. Yesterday, I picked a gallon of berries! I picked every luscious red berry, thinking I wouldn't have to pick again until Saturday. Imagine my suprise when I looked at my berry patch this morning! I'm off to pick another gallon! I had to share my pictures, they're so pretty - and they taste divine!
