Birthday Madness


February is a big month for birthdays in my family.... and not to mention Valentine's day! So I always look forward to this month!

My little sister's birthday is Feb. 19th- she's turnin' 8 this year and my little bro's birthday is Feb. 21st- he's turnin' 6! They are two years and two days apart... and 15 years and 7 days before Parker, on Feb. 26th I was born. It's too bad I couldn't be there this year to celebrate with them :( I miss those two so much. They are growing up so fast!!

Have a Happy <3 Day on Saturday!








I’ve always liked Valentine’s Day because I love giving little “I love you” cards and gifts to people that are special to me. I posted a few of the homemade cards I sent out this year. All you need are a few stickers, some construction paper and whaa-la .... a love filled card made from home.

Super Bowl Sunday....


Wow, I’ve never seen a town light up so much in the last few days. It’s been a riot here with the Cardinals making it to the Super Bowl this year. I am not a hard-core football fan; I usually just watch it if someone else has it on, never really going out of my way to find the game on TV. I guess I don’t know too much about the sport, or I would be a little more interested. I did take stats for the football team at my high school during my senior year, but it wasn’t really that informative.
I am excited for the team and it is cool to see everyone around here all decked out in their jerseys and stocking up on snacks for the big game. I was getting my hair cut, just chatting with the stylist, and she told me the Cardinals have never been to the Super Bowl (unless you count back in 19 twenty or forty something when it wasn’t actually called a “super bowl”), and pretty much aren’t that good. They are the underdogs in football, but to the people here they are more like inspiration. Go Cardinals.

Its great having a gym membership...

Well I made it to the gym the last two days! But not to workout (which is my MAIN goal in getting myself healthy)... I had to shower there. Our house has gas heat and the gas company is extremely hard to get a hold of!! Both Jordan and I have been there to shower and I just hope noone catches on to us!

2*0*0*9


Happy New Year! I extend, to all those who some how come across this blog, a prayer that you and your families have a great '09. The economy's not so wonderful right now and we should all be prepared someway or another....I wish you the best and hope no jobs will be lost, houses taken, or shortages of food, and for your health and safety as well.
I have two big resolutions for the new year.....

1) I am cutting out the junk food, late nights, s t r e s s, and my UNmotivation to get to the gym. I need to get my body healthy again! I feel sick way too much for my age and I know its because of the way I treat my body. I have no energy, eat candy and bad snacks, drink too much soda and think way to much about things that don't really matter, and on top of that, my sleep patterns are all wacky. I need some healthy recipes/foods, advice on a good workout regime, maybe good suggestions for books to keep my mind busy and just some motivation. If you have any thoughts please let me know! :)
2) This is more of a family resolution between Jordan and me.... well we decided to make a budget with our money... I have usually been good with balancing my "wants" and "needs" with my money but sometimes I just get that urge to splurge... As I look back at the things we bought and how much they were my stomach just turns. Half the stuff we don't even USE! Ah. So it's a good thing Jordan brought up this great idea. We plan to be very organized and more wise with our spending... I just know how much Jordan likes his toys, this is going to be hard for him. Me too, but I think if we just work together it will all be fine!


Mesa Temple














The Mesa Temple lights were fun to see! Jordan and I brought our friend Lina and her two cute little kids, Jadakris and Haley. It was fun taking pictures and trying to keep the little ones from running off onto the lawn!
