Meet the Plante Family!BETTER HEALTH STARTS TODAY! Billi Jo Plante never imagined herself as being a stay-at-home mom, but when she

was pregnant with her third of four children and was wanting to spend more time with them, she bid her farewell to her teaching career and students. However, some days away from teaching were harder than others. She felt she was missing the socialization with other adults and her students. Within that first year as a stay-at-home mom, Billi Jo started a business making diaper trikes, and decided it was time for their oldest boy, Tyberius, to start preschool. She also found out she was pregnant, again, with a fourth child! Billi Jo was in serious need of some me time.

Billi Jo searched online for things to do with the kids around Fargo – and found the Y. So she loaded up her double wide stroller and headed downtown for the first time to learn more about the Y. The three little ones and herself (seven months pregnant!) met with KinderKamp staff – the preschool program at the Fercho Y. Wow!!! What a way to be welcomed into a new place! The place looked too good to be true and she couldn’t believe her eyes! Two or three days a week for 2.5 hours - heaven!

After a full tour of the Y, she discovered so many other benefits for her even younger children. She found the Playstation - a drop off childcare in the same building as KinderKamp, swimming lessons, and a gym for her to work out! Needless to say the whole family joined the Y that day and Tyberius started KinderKamp two days later.

Life for the Plantes became simpler. Billi Jo began dropping the children off at KinderKamp and the Playstation and would either find a comfy chair to read or join in on a Zumba class – an exercise she fell in love with! Some days she would take Kyrabella to Parent & Child Swimming Lessons or to the Xerzone Toddler class. Last summer, Tyberius and Kyrabella both attended Busy Beaver Camp with their cousin, and Xavier started Parent & Child swimming lessons, too! In his spare time, Doug enjoys spending time with the kids during family activities and in the kid’s gym.

The last few months have continued to be in full swing for the Plante family at the Y. Billi Jo started working with a Healthy Living Coach and trained to run her first 5k. Kyrabella has enjoyed her first year and KinderKamp (Xavier is very excited that he will be able to join her at school - they tease the teachers about being stuck with her family until 2017, which will be Orion’s last year in KinderKamp!). The kids are also enjoying Tucker Gymnastics and Karate and time in the Playstation.

It’s been almost two years since joining and Y and Billi Jo has lost 55 pounds, has gained more energy to chase around her kids, and has met so many new friends. Her kids are singing songs and talking about their friends, and asking if they can go to school or swimming even on weekends.
