New years eve...

We started off our new years eve festivities with a Pajama Party at "Classic Skating Fun Center" 

with the Birchall's!  The kids loved waking up in their jammies and 

heading straight to skate!  We love it when Summer rents out the whole place!!

kids had a blast all morning, then we ate lunch and then went to play games with The Carson's!

We had balloons for the kids to pop every hour that had an activity inside!  We started off by doing a dance off with Just dance 4! {of course witney won}  then the games continued on all 

night.  It was a successful night and even Ivy made it to midnight!

Ivy literally made it to midnight and then passed right out!!  love this picture...

New Years Eve...

we played with the Simpson's all new years eve and had a blast!

we met at 'Malawi's Pizza'  {our fav} and then off to the Provo Beach Resort.  

The kids were in heaven with all of their buddies, {especially my boston} 

The simpson's were our neighbors for a few years in Orem and we always love 

hanging out with them when we get the chance.

we went back to the Simpson's and played lots of Ping Pong 

and Just Dance 3!  {which i rock at btw, haha}

we had a blast ringing in the new year and honestly the kids weren't even tired! 

even my little ivy stayed up! ha

Happy New Year!!

i could watch olivia and hayes play JD3 all day long... they are so cute and surprisingly SO GOOD!!

i did it!!

I must admit it wasn't  easy, and sometimes i fell off.... butamp;
eventually always got back on it!

but,

i did it & still doing it...

 I followed through and accomplished  my new years resolutions and goals from last year!

it's so awesome to make goals and actually follow through.

we as a family wrote down our goals on monday and talked about how important it is to
try to keep the goals within reach, but something that will push us also.  

so that's what i like. 

simple, yet attainable {within reach}

so starting monday,

 {because we are still on "Christmas break" from school.  Our school had a flooding
 problem and notified us that we have one more week off school!}

I am..

~drinking more water. 

~starting on this diet, which i LOVE and it was easy.

~ eating no sugar!

who's with me on NO Sugar??!  

~no eating after 7pm
~take my children on one on one dates!
~serve others more.
~get ivy in her own bed. ha
{we are on day 50 with her sleeping in her own toddler bed~wink...not going so well}

while i am going back through and organizing my blog by labeling posts,
{notice my side bar}
 i am loving it!! 

totally enjoying the past and loving watching my babies grow.  It is quite the task, but how
 nice to have it all labeled and organized.  it will take a while but i'm doing it.

Happy New Year!!!

we rang in the New Year at my sister Jill's house with cousins, yummy food and fun games!  

We played "pit" all night {best game EVER} and Mafia.

ate a delicious Prime Rib dinner with Tyler's famous shrimp.

I think my kids have been in jammies since Christmas, and we LOVE it!

this whole Christmas break we have been watching movies, playing games and just 

hanging out with family, and I'm not gonna lie... 

i will miss it! 

we loved staying up to ring in the new year!  Ivy is a total "night owl"

 she was running around hugging everyone at midnight and saying "happy new year!" 

so so cute!

new years is full of resolutions for me, and there is nothing 

better than starting off the year with the stomach flu! ha...

 seriously lost a few pounds a few days before the new year!

nothing like a head start to one of my major resolutions... hitting the gym!

New Years Eve...

We are heading to the Matinee this afternoon with Grandma and Papa joe and all the cousins, then off to Jill and Tylers for our New Years eve Party! We have all sorts of goodies& Games planned, and Tyler will make his most delicious Shrimp dinner!!Mmmmmmm....
Then Grandma plays Bingo with all the kids with Prizes!

It is sooooo Cold here and still keeps on snowing!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Yes, that is a picture of my Babies awake for the New year! Not on purpose of course, It's because Cory put them down for a Nap at 4 pm, And yes they did sleep for 3 1/2 hrs. So they went to Bed at like 12:30 am ! CRAZY but fun, So they got to make all sorts of Noise!!

Now it is Back to School for Boston tomorrow and on to my New years Resolutions!
Which are beside, Being a Better wife and Mother, Staying Physicaly Fit, & Attend the Temple more often! I have decided to make more Healthy meals, and a Menu each week that I can stick too! (That's a huge one! Right?)

So I am hitting the Cook books and The Internet for some Tips! Maybe Classy Cuisine too?

I also am going to BYU tomorrow to have my Body Fat tested! The real way!!! It will be good to see what it is at the Beginning of the Year! Then Off to POWER PUMP!

Hope you all had a Great Start to a Brand NEW YEAR!

New years EVE!
