Two Month Catch Up!

I don't know where my time has gone. The holidays were really crazy and January seemed to be just as crazy. Our Christmas was great! We had the Lowe Family Party at our house. We also had the Morris Family party here. There are pictures of my Mom reading her christmas story to the kids. Also, Syd and I went to the nutcracker and so Bob took our picture before we left. This is a tradition that Sydney and I have done together for the last 3 or 4 years. We both love it and the boys are just happy they don't have to go. So...it work for everyone. Also....this will probably be the last snowman I build this year. Actually, I should have said the only snowman. Jack and Alec seem to be happy with it. It's really my best work.

Watch OUT!

My BABY got his drivers license today. Yes, it is true. It seems like he was my baby just yesterday. When the DMV took his picture I just thought how young he looked. Now it seems the older I get the faster time goes. He will be 18 in two years. I think I will cry now (and pray for his safe return every night). This sure does open a new can of worms.

Thankyou to the stranger at Costco

Wednesday mornings are always crazy for me. I have two trainings in the morning and by the time I am done, I have 15 minutes to get the kids ready for school and out the door. Bob can only do so much and when I asked Alec why his dad didn't comb his hair I got the response, "Dad has better things to do." So I, who apparently has less better things to do, combed all the kids' hair and we were out the door. Luckily for me, Jack had preschool today and I had a few hours to myself. After a little cleaning I got in the shower and pulled on my jeans. I was wondering if my pants were tight possibly from the dryer (I hoped) or was my butt getting fat? I do have trouble finding time for my own workouts after training others on a daily basis. Yes, I thought my butt must be bigger. After looking at my butt from several different angles I couldn't help but feel disappointed. Therefore, I did what anyone else in this situation would do, I tried to look even less attractive by putting the least amount of effort into my hair. (Or maybe that is what I do on a daily basis.) Why try when my back side was so troubled. Anyway, I went to Costco to pick up my Christmas Cards (thanks Carly for the design) and while standing in line the cute mom with her kids in front of me apologized for starring at me but she said I was so beautiful she couldn't help it. Well, my thoughts of my butt went straight out the door and I thought to myself, "Could it be true?" True or not she made me feel like a million bucks and it only took her 5 seconds to totally make my day. Thank you cute mom at Costco and I will definitely be passing this one on. And no, I won't be posting a picture with this one.

Braving the Ute/BYU game.

THANK YOU SCOTT AND ALLISON FOR TAKING US TO THE U of U/BYU football game. WE had GREAT seats. However, yes, I was a little scared. Rooting for the Y in prime Ute territory (except for BOB). Yes, we had some very drunk Ute fans behind us. One which decided to moon us. Very classy Utah fans, pull down your pants and show us your butt. Need I say more?? Oh and Dane, if only you were sitting behind us I might want to come back.

The Happiest Place on Earth...that is what they say.

We have had a busy few weeks and I am just now getting around to posting. We went to Disneyland a few weeks ago and had a blast. We went with my parents and my brother's family. This is our first time going to D-land since Bob was hired by Mickey. It was awesome using our Silver cast memeber card which allows us free access to the park and a ton of discounts throughout.

We drove to California on Friday, Nov. 14th. On Saturday we went to California adventure and the wind must have been just perfect to pick up the ash from the fires and drop it on us for half of the day. I don't want to know what happens when you breathe and eat ash. Sunday we walked along Newport beach. Then back to Disneyland for Monday and Tuesday. Devon loved being out of school and in the 85 degree California weather. Sydney loved her new discovery of Pin Collecting and my Mom soon hopped on that wagon. Alec was very cautious of all rides. The hill at the beginning of Pirates was a little too much for him. Jack would have gone on any ride. He loved it all.

Wednesday we traveled all the way home to find out the circuit to our garage door had tripped so our keyless entry into our house was not working. We also failed to bring keys. After several minutes of checking all windows and doors we discovered Devon's second story bedroom window was not locked. For once Devon's irresponsibility saved us. We borrowed the neighbors ladder and jumped through the window. Yes, that was the end of a great vacation.

I am sure this is just the beginning of several D-land trips. Until next time.....
