Happy Birthday to #1 Mom!!!

I just wanted to say a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best mother in the whole wide world!!! She is the most amazing mother anyone could ask for and more. She has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. She has taught me so much! She inspires me to be a better wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. She sees the best in me even when I don't. She is beautiful inside and out. She is the perfect wife for my father. I love this picture of my mom with her very best friend. That is TRUE love!! She loves her family to bits. She is so caring and loving with ALL her grandchildren. She is always there when you need her. One of my favorite things about my mom is she laughs at all my jokes. She thinks so much is funny. She has the greatest laugh. You can't not laugh when she laughs. She has an amazing testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ. She was never afraid to show us how much she loves the gospel. She helped all of her children and so many others to gain their own testimonies. So many people tell me how amazing my mom is. I just smile and say "I know!! She is the best!". So thanks mom for being you and for being a major part of my life and my families life. I love you so much!!!

No camera!!! :(

So sorry my posts have been picture less but my camera has officially gone to the grave!!! I am so sad not to have a camera. There have been so many times when I run to get my camera to take a great picture to blog about and I then remember I don't have a camera. :( It is very, very sad not to have a camera!! I am hoping to be able to buy a new one at Costco in the next few weeks. I'm pretty sure Billy is sick of hearing me say, "Oh I wish I could take a picture of that!". Like today Kylee was walking around wearing my shoes and it was so cute. So of course I wanted to take a picture but couldn't. Next time right? Anyways keep your fingers crossed for a new camera soon!! Also just in case my husband reads this post, Honey this is a cute camera from Costco if you need any ideas :) It is $129.00 on sale right now!! 10.0 MP w/ zoom stabilizer (hint, hint)

My hike with Krista!

So I went over to my mom's house to go walking with my girls. Krista was getting ready to go hiking and she invited my to go with her. I asked if I would be able to take the stroller, she said no. In my head I must admit I was a tiny bit relieved. :) Then my amazing mother said "Oh I can watch them for you." Oh that would be great mom. :) So off Krista and I went to Thunderbird park off of 59th Ave and Happy Valley. Krista was so helpful. She encouraged me to go and was my motivator all the way! Thank you Krista for helping me to accomplish something that meant a lot to me. I DID it! I survived and look forward to the next time! I can't believe I just said that! hee, hee By the way the reason I have no pictures of anything for the past few posts is because my camera has officially died! So I am saving up and hope we can get a new camera soon :)

Tara is better than me :(

Okay so I have to give credit where credit is due. Apparently my sister Tara was a professional hula hooper in a previous life and didn't bother to tell anyone!! So I got to my mom's to defend my title as hula hoop champion and it was NOT possible! Tara has amazingly fast hips!! So congrats Tara, I guess I will find something else I can beat you at :) Please let there be at least ONE thing I can beat you at!!!!

Going to exercise!!

I was going to put a post up but then Tara made a comment that I needed to go check out the new top score of the hula hoop game on the wii fit! Then she did the evil laugh... mmm hahahaha! So I am getting dressed now hoping to defend my title as hula hoop champion!!! Results to come, maybe :)

Still sore!!!

So I am still sore from doing my hula hoop exercising on the Wii Fit on Saturday! I love that I feel like I got such a great workout and had fun doing it! Tara and I didn't get to compete against each other yesterday but we will do it soon I am sure! I look forward to beating Tara over and over! I just want to add that I love my family very much. My husband and my girls bring me so much happiness. I am so blessed to have amazing parents and incredible sisters. I am so glad that my sisters have amazing spouses to add to this great family. I am also grateful for my cute grandma! I thought you would all enjoy this picture of adorable sister Krista and great Grandma!!

I LOVE Wii Fit!!!

So today I tried a new exercise on the Wii fit, hula hoop! It is a lot harder than you think. I was sweating like crazy, of course I did it for 45 minutes. So I am grateful to my sister Tara! She had done the hula hoop and had a good score but I was DETERMINED to beat her score no matter how long it took me! No I'm NOT competitive (hee, hee). So after a few tries (meaning like 6 or so tries I beat her score by more that 26 turns! I was SO excited! I have all top ten scores except for Tara still has 4th place! So Tara the challenge is on!!! Beat my 255!! Anybody who would like to have a fun challenge on the Wii fit board, give me a comment! Maybe we will do that for a girls night :) What you think ladies???
