My one and only Valentines Day decoration!

Every year I tell myself I'm going to buy a few decorations, and every year I don't! So I finally put my thinking cap on and decided to make something fun and cute. I found the table runner idea online and made a few changes.....I think this looks so cute on my table!



I started with 30 different sized circles! My hands were really feeling it!

After hours of sewing you end up with this
cute non-traditional table runner!



Finally I have a valentines decoration!!!

This cute little boy turned 1 today!!!!
Happy Birthday Bridger!!!
Love you so much!!!



Enjoying French toast for breakfast. More pictures to come!

Christmas Morning!!!!!!!!!!!

Bailey got her first big girl bike!!! and I look HUGE in satin jammies....I don't think I'll wear those in pictures again.....



Cole wanted trucks & trackers from santa soooo bad! He was one happy boy!



Bridger got a ball popper! It's pretty cool and the other kids loved it to!



I cheated i posted a picture of me all done up for the day! I got lots of clothes and beautiful jewelry from Santa! Oh and cute winter/snow boots!




Jason was spoiled by Mrs. clause! These are his boots that were desperately needed! He later told me he was hoping they would be under the tree! he also got clothes and a nerf gun to terrorize me and the kids!

It was a wonderful day and a great weekend! I love spending time with family!!! I can't wait till next year!

The Nativity!



My mother in-law enjoys a good performance! She had all of us dress up and we performed the Nativity. Bailey and I were Angels, Cole was a Wise man, Bridger was a sheep, and Jason was a shepherd. Its not Christmas till you rein act the Nativity!



Jason & Bridger waiting for there que!

Christmas!



Bailey had her first dance recital!! It was so cute to see her on stage....it was an outside performance and it was FREEZING! She actually performed and wanted to do it again! I was a very proud mother!! She has such a natural talent for dancing and singing....I wish I did!

After the recital we went to see Santa! The kids were so so about him....Bridger slept in the stroller and Cole scremed once he caught sight of him, Bailey was very stand-offish! But once the handed out candy canes the kids perked right up!

Halloween 2010

Since the marathon was in Provo we stayed the weekend with my parents and Trick or treated with them and my sisters family! It was so much fun! The kids got soooo much candy!



I have to say this is the cutest pumpkin I've ever seen!!!! He actually wore the hat and shoes the entire time we were out!!



Bailey was Tinkerbell! She loved her costume and still wears it!! You can't see her shoes but the are jelly shoes that light up when she walks! They look like Tinkerbell's shoes! That was a favorite!




As you can see Cole hated his costume and really did not want to put it on! Once we told him NO candy unless you wear it, he complied and loved it once he started seeing the candy pour in! Daddy was thrilled to see all the candy come our way! We all have serious sweet tooth's!



I literally wanted to die when the night was over! I walked several more miles on top of my half marathon....Happy Family!

I'm so behind in life!!!

so lets start this off with my marathon!


(I'm in all black)
I ran 13.1 miles in 2.28 hours! I don't care that it took me that long, all I wanted to do was finish and run the whole way which I did!!! :)
The Marathon was on halloween and it was a blast. I wish I would have worn short sleeves or capri pants I got so hot! It started out freezing but warmed up. I loved the feeling when I hit the finish-line, it was a priceless moment in my life and I can't wait to do it again!



if you look under the finish line you can see my time posted!



I could barley walk or stand...I got my medal and hobbled over to my family. I look all sorts of rough!! I should have ditched my fleece vest it made me 10 times hotter! But in this picture it makes me look 10 times fatter!

Over all I loved the half marathon and I totally plan on doing another one!
