Going Private

So today at church we had this awesome lesson about the Internet. Mostly it was about Facebook, Myspace and Blogging. It was so great to hear what other's think and it was great to be able to share with other's why I have a Facebook and Blog. After that lesson though I feel like I would be a better parent if I went to Private. I believe that if you dwell on things, they will happen. I am not necessarily afraid for our family's safety, but I do know that I would do anything to protect my kids. This is the only time that I am going to put much thought into this because I am not going to dwell on it and attract something to happen. So here you have it:) Please send me your info so I can add you to our list because I love seeing everyone's families grow up and I love sharing with you new things about my family. This is the best way for me to keep a journal and I love it!

Better late than never Santa Pictures

This year was so much fun seeing Santa a few times and getting to see the Temple Square Lights. To me even though it was really cold, it was worth it. If only my hubby felt the same way:)

We had a great Christmas! It was fun to be back in Utah and get to spend the Holidays with family. Santa brought our family a Wii and we have been having so much fun playing it as a family! We are so blessed to have such great people in our lives, and we look forward to a very Happy New Year!

The Diet From.......

I have decided that I need to lose some weight. I decided that along time ago, but just recently decided to get my butt in gear and do it. (We are going to Mexico in March so that is another reason too!) A year ago I was on steroids for my allergy's to get rid of the swelling and I gained 20 lbs in a month from them. Lovely! As easy as it was to put on the weight, it has not been easy to lose. I have lost 15 out of the 20 lbs, but need to lose a good 25 more. So here starts the fun!

My brother-in-law is a health fanatic. Not really but I like to give him crap. He gained some weight on his mission and a little more when he got home. Before he left for his mission, he was really cut. He worked out alot and was on a strict diet. He did the same diet when he got home and just from the diet alone he dropped 20 lbs in 2 months. So I decided to try his diet. Trust me it was hard to cave because I LOVE to make fun of his diet!! He is always cooking eggs, or chicken while we are eating my mother-in-laws yummy dinner. So sorry Shane! I am now eating my words!!

The diet is eating every two hours. There is alot of eggs, turkey wraps, chicken, protein shakes, and lots of water. It is tuff for me because I am a vegetarian. Not because I want to save animals, but because I don't like the taste! So this one is hard for me. I am doing the turkey, I tried to do tuna, but it was gross! I am doing fake chicken that is really good. I am into day 4 and I am already feeling a difference. It is hard though seeing my family eat yummy things and I can't. But so far so good at staying away from the temptation.

Wish me luck! I will need it!!

This is for you Jenny!

This is for my girl Jenny who is battling the dentist and her teeth. A reminder why we go through so much crap to have teeth! I hope it makes you laugh! Everything will be o.k. and things will work out:)
