Flash Back Sunday - I forgot .. Tuesday

This is my little niece Zoei Marie. She was born at 29 weeks and she fought to live. She is now a healthy beautiful little girl. What a fantastic addition to our family. I love you Zoei, thanks for fighting!

I just watched Biggest Loser and I totally felt like a loser. I mean who eats and watches the biggest loser?! I have not lost any weight this week, I was "too busy" but like they say on the show, you need to invest in yourself. So I wont give up. I wanted to take time for the little things in life. I get too caught up in my own world. I missed jury duty this week and now I am being summoned to court. If that's not a wake up call... So this week my goals are:

1. Be more in-tune with myself and the Lord

2. Make dinner at least once this week (before Riley gets home)

3. Read something from the November Ensign every day.

4. Do something nice for someone else (Find someone to serve)

Happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for my family and friends!

Flashback Sunday's - - - 2007

Ok so a few years ago my best friend Rochelle and I did the Triathlon in St. George. I was in pretty good shape back then but I still thought I was "fat". If only I could be in that shape again. I am working on it though. Since my last post I have lost 5 pounds. 15 to go. I gotta get my motivation back. Rochelle! I need your help! You have been my inspiration for a while. I am glad you will be back in the game again. :) Congrats on your new baby girl! When is our next adventure?

Happy Halloween! 2009

The cousins going trick or treating. We needed one more adult...
Mona and her kids with Captain Jack Sparrow at work on Friday
The girls were tired after all that Trick-or Treating. They were so good at my work, but I was having a hard time keeping track of them so I put them on a chair and they loved it.
I had a lot of fun this year with the girls. They were so cute! Holiday's seem fun with these guys. Maile was so cute. When we went Trick or Treating she was holding her own bag, she didn't want me to carry her, she wanted to do it all by herself. She was so cute! (Joni was asleep for part of the time but they both got up and had a great time.

We didn't get to carve any pumpkins this year. I was a little sad cause we always try to carve a pumpkin. We were so busy with work etc, we didn't have time. It seems like the time is flying by so fast right now. Sometimes I wish I could slow things down a bit. It seems like we are always going 100mph and I forget about the small important things that I need to make time for.

I want to try to lose 20 pounds by Christmas. I think that is a very attainable goal, but it means I have to work a lot harder that I am now. (which means doing SOMETHING) I miss my clothes, and I want to be able to wear them again. Wish me luck because there are so many things that could keep me from doing it.
