christmas 2011

It was a great day spent with the entire family!!
We started out the day with the four of us, then the Reedell side came for  brunch, then we had some "down time" and then the Schafer/Scheib side came over for dessert and our gift exchange.  It was a day of fun had by all!!
living room tree and sunroom tree...

a furry christmas wish!

not that they were happy about the pictures, but it was fun for us!!

it's vibrams time...

It has now been over a year since I wore any kind of sneakers for working out (besides spinning, where I use my bike shoes)... so I decided it was time to invest in a new pair of Vibrams Fivefingers shoes.  I was psyched and ordered right away... I LOVE my vibrams!!!

And then I decided that I wanted another pair... should have left well enough alone.  I found a really great price, then ordered.  The company took a long time to send them out, and they just "didn't seem right".  I then went on my first longer run with them, and by the end my feet were bloody and blistered.  This NEVER happened with any of my other vibrams.  After looking closer, I realized they must be counterfeit vibrams.  I contacted the real vibrams, they put this site on their fake list, and would be investigating to shut the site down.   I couldn't believe this was happening.  But on the bright side, the credit card company stopped payment on the order and would be investigating themselves.  I then went and ordered a new pair, from an authorized vibram retailer... because I can't live without my vibrams!!
the fake ones... notice they don't fit as well, and the insides just didn't feel right - of course hindsight is always 20/20...

Christmas at Shadybrook

Angela's girl scout troop took a nice evening hayride through the light show at Shadybrook Farms.  The night was chilly, but it felt like the holidays!  We had a great time munching on cookies then it was time for the pizza party and the gift exchange with the troop.  The girls loved it...

Christmas came early for the Reedells!!!

I was sooo excited when my P90X2 was delivered to my doorstep!!  Scott and I LOVED doing the first P90X and were pretty psysched about what Tony Horton had in store for us.  Then you add the new nutrition guide, and what could be better - a better you for the holidays!! 

As always if you have any questions (fitness related), please feel free to e-mail me or go to my site: www.teambeachbody.com/mightymegan for this and just about every other workout dvd, supplements, and coaching.

holiday fun with friends

We enjoyed a nice visit with Santa at the Haluska household.  Santa was fantastic and the girls loved chatting with him - no lines or time limits!!  They were all geared up for christmas after this evening of fun!

they're electric...

a new certification - yeah!!

I can't believe I've been teaching indoor cycling for almost 2 years now at LA Fitness.  According to the AAAI/ISMA the certification only is valid for two years, then you have to get recertified for another year.  So, instead of re-doing my spin cert, I decided to go for another one, this time "general group aerobics".  It was a tough class, but in the end I passed... so I can now teach any class at the gym that I would like.  So, hopefully in the near future I can pick up some kick boxing or body works class mixed with my P90X skills... should be fun!!

our little swimmers

The girls started swimming lessons in december and are enjoying it immensely.  They have learned soo much and look forward to this summer and LOTS more swimming time. 

need a chuckle?

New rooms for the kiddos

Hard to believe we have lived here for over 3 years now and Scott said "we should re-do the girls' rooms".  Yeah, well that gave me the push to get it done - in less than 2 days they were totallly redecorated, reorganized, and the girls LOVE their new rooms.
This is Angela's "rock star room"

This is Elyse's "Rapunzel Room"

Wow... long time no posts!!!

What a crazy few months it has been.  I hope you all had a great holiday season and are enjoying the beginning of 2012.  Ours has been a bit busy - as usual!!  Please accept this apology for not posting, and I will do my best to post much more often!!  Hope to see you again soon!

It's beginning to look alot like christmas

in the Reedell house!  We were up nice and early on friday morning, not shopping, but instead decorating the house.  The inside and outside are ready for the holidays... now if we could get all of our shopping all done too.  Oh well, let the count down begin! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you enjoyed a fantastic holiday with your family.  This year we went to the Schafer family thanksgiving in Manayunk.  Paul and Nicole hosted a great get together.  And since the whole crew was able to be there, we got a few pictures of the entire family!



Our Little Bakers


Elyse and Leah wanted to make cookies... and boy were they yummy!

lets play - where's Angela?

Closing Day of LSAA Soccer

Our last day of soccer was just beautiful. Bright sun in the sky and smiles on the faces of every child.  The girls had a fantastic season playing for LSAA.   Their coaches taught them soo much and we look forward to whatever sports they are interested in playing next year!!
