Jackie & Justin were here...

My cute little niece and her hubby Justin came to visit us for the 3 day weekend from Rexburg!  We love it when they come, b/c these guys are my little kids BFF's!  Seriously they love these two and play the whole time together.

We went to see "Mall Cop" and then out to eat dinner afterwards, with of course my famous "Crack" Cookies!  

Cory, Justin and Boston played dart gun wars until midnight and pretty much had a blast!

We miss you guys already!  I can't wait until you move to Logan!

Dart gun fights!!

4 months old today...

Our little "cuddle bug" is the sweetest little angel.  She loves smiling, laughing and swinging in her swing.  We all love to kiss her & snuggle with her.  She is by far my easiest and Best baby. 

{ Shhh...don't tell Boston. hee hee }

"Ivy Hall" Ski Day...

This is one of my favorite things about Boston's School.   They get the kids in these awesome Programs  and get them active and healthy!  I think every School should do this,

especially since we live in Utah!  Every Monday is his School's Ski day and it's a perfect way to start out the week. NO one is there, It is so much fun!

Boston is a total Skier, We took him all the time since he was "3" and when we found out about  this Program from his School, he decided to try Snowboarding,  well now he is a Snowboarder!! He loves it and after today with all of his friends,  i realize he is definitely old enough and Wise enough to send up all by himself and i could possibly drop him off to ski with a buddy now.

  

He is growing up. ;(

I got  some good runs while Boston was in his Snowboarding lesson.  When i came down the first time, he yelled really loud "Mom, Check me out of here, I don't need lessons!"   I checked him out and one of his friends Calvin and they came with me down the Mountain with some of the other kids from School.  I Played mostly with Myla, while Boston was snowboarding with Dub.    We pretty much had a Fabulous Day...

 Lots of his Buddies from School

"Ski for Nie"

Canyon Sports , Pizza Factory &  Sundance Ski Resort teamed up for a Wonderful Fundraiser for Stephanie & Christian Nielsen...

It is a Remarkable story and if you want to learn more click here.

Christian & Stephanie remain in critical condition at Maricopa Burn Center. Christian has sustained burns on over 30% of his body. His wife Stephanie’s body was burned over 80%.

We had a great time!  My camera died in the middle of the day so i didn't get to get pictures of the rest of the Party.  We had some neighbors come up with their kids and Boston went with them all afternoon in the Terrain Park, he had a Blast!  It was so fun to be able to Ski on a Wonderful day with my friends and Family! 

Thanks to everyone for your donations and support!

Rick Robinson's "MOVE!"

Last night I went to see my Nieces, Witney, Shae & Charlee Dance at the Scera Theater for Rick Robinson's Show "MOVE"  It was AMAZING!!  It goes through next monday, Seriously this is one of my favorite shows.  He also has a wonderful show in a couple of weeks called "Evolution of Dance."   

These kids dance so incredibly and are just Amazing to watch.  My Nieces were in the Show and They rocked.  They all dance for the Vibe and have danced together for a long time.  

Well it shows.  It was incredible and i am so proud of you girls.

 

Witney was in like Every piece, i couldn't believe it!  I loved it!

I tried to take pictures of them Dancing, they didn't quite turn out...

I started Today...

The Atkins Diet...

This is one of the Diets that some of my Friends do and it WORKS!! They look Fabulous!!

It starts with 2 weeks of  no Sugar and no Carbs and no Caffeine.  It is lots of Protein and only 20 grams of Carbohydrates a day.  I know it sounds crazy, but you have to cleanse your body of all the sugar cravings and junk & Restart your Body!   I have done it before and it's not easy at first.  I know by day 3 or 4 I am going to be very crabby, but after that it gets alot easier.   It's only for 2 weeks, then you slowly add more Complex carbs each week until you are at your desired weight.  It works, and it is such a Great way to eat!

Something else that i have been doing and LOVE is ....

PILATES

James Urianza is the Owner & Instructor at Studio Physiques in the Riverwoods and he knows his stuff!  I go 2 times a week and Love the Pilates stretching & especially the barefoot workout!

My body feels great and i am not beating it up.  It was hard for me at first to get into this, because I am so used to working out Hard.  It is so great how flexible you become and how stretching your muscles actually helps you lose inches.

S U N D A N C E ...

We enjoyed our New years Eve weekend up at a Cabin in Sundance. We spent 4 super fun nights with The Carsons, The Curry's & Tori jo & her new little baby. We enjoyed playing Games, watching games, Snowboarding, Skiing, Hot tubbing & just hanging out!
Tasha found this Cabin and The Cabin was so big it slept 30 people, so they had fun sleeping in different bunk beds and playing games!



Guess who went skiing for their first time...

We put Hayes, Livi's and Carson in their own lesson for 2 days and they did Great! They had their little camp called "The wild Bunch" and they each had their own teacher. It was so fun to watch them do this & be all together.

Olivia & Matt {her Instructor}

Hayes

Carson

Boston did a little bit of Skiing and then some Boarding. He only took 2 lessons last year so we hoped he could do it. He suprised us and did so Awesome, i think he even suprised himself. At the end of the run he said "MOM, I don't suck!"

He loved being able to ski with his Cousins Witney and Jaxon and then another time he went snowboarding with his Friend Dub and his family. I could not believe he is old enough to do the Chairlift all by himself now! I wondered when that day would come. ;)


He is a great skier, but he really wants to Snowboard...

All of the gang skiing/snowboarding at the end of the day!
Tyler came to help out Jaxon and Wit, & Olivia passed right out on him. haha

Boston just started skiing on the "Sundance Ski Team" his first time was on Saturday and he skied in all the Powder and the Black diamond runs. He is the youngest one on the Ski team, and he did great. Cory even said he was exhausted, so he can't believe how these kids did it all day!
Way to go Boston!!

New Years up at the Cabin.

The Cabin was so fun with cousins and games! We played in the Hot tub after Skiing, or the kids would make up their own sled hill and go sledding! We had Delicious Dinners and Desserts, and enjoyed lots of Ipod time and X Box and of course the Bowl Games! GO UTES!!

Witney, Camden & Tori Jo

Carson & Hayes playing with their Swords, made by Witney. haha

At night we would turn up the Music and the kids would start Jammin out. I love to watch Carson and his Moves, i do NOT know where he gets them, but we were just laughing our heads off at his stuff. It is Awesome!
Hayes and Carson were our Dancers. Hayes is more of a Mosh Pit dancer! ;)

Tori & her new little baby girl, Blayke.

We think the older kids liked the swings more than the babies. They would all take turns rocking in it.

John won the Air Hockey Tournament against everyone!
