BFL...............

Down 8 lbs. in 4 weeks. Bill Phillips is a genius. Chris is down 8 lbs. too and I love his weight training days.............. all pumped up!!!!!

Women's Conference..............

Everyone needs to go sometime. What a great time. Great talks to choose from, plenty of service to do, concerts and movies to attend, great food, especially when we eat at Tucanos, yum, and it's even fun staying in the dorms. However, this year our floor (not us) was pretty mellow. In the morning one lady walked into the bathroom, removed her earplugs and said "That's better! They are sooo loud!" Yah, she was talking about us, and no, she didn't know we were right behind her. Next year we'll just provide the earplugs for everyone!!

It is hard to recover from 4 hours of sleep 3 nights in a row. The shopping is tons of fun, always something you just can't do without.

This years concert had Michael Mclain(I think that's spelled wrong), Kenneth Cope, Eclipse (the best, an a acapela group of guys), Hilary Weeks, Mercy River, and Jenny Jordan Frogley. Histarical, emotional, and way entertaining.

And the highlight, President Monson was the concluding speaker. I was about 10 feet away, saw his cute little wife and him.

I'll be back next year.

What a great man................

My husband is the best. Always wanting to make me feel like a queen. It was our anniversary on the 17th and he had the whole night planned.
First, we ate at Morton's Steakhouse. (Fabulous) They brought us out our menus, which, as you can see, was personalized for us. Then they took our picture and GAVE (not charged) it to us. When we got our bill, our desserts had been taken off. They made they evening feel pretty dang special, it was awesome.

While we were still eating, I think dessert, Chris asked me to marry him all over again..............................I accepted!!!!!!!!!!!
(Carli said I could post the picture, I was just so excited!!!)

Sat on the balcony of the Wynn and watched an awesome waterfall, then he took me in and surprised me with tickets to se Le Reve. (Great show)

After 15 years, we're still in love, even more than ever, and best friends. He's my prince!

"Stake" Fair..................

Went to the county fair a few weeks ago. What fun.
Lost Trevor twice, Trenton once, but they knew where they were.

We'd never been before. Our family loves the old movie "State Fair", so that where the little ones think we went, to the "Stake Fair". They loved it.

Body for Life..............

Ok! So I've never done a diet before, this is new, but Chris is doing it to so it keeps me motivated. After 3 days I was down 2.5 lbs., at a week into it I'm down 3.5 lbs. Enough to keep me motivated. Plus I love eating, so 6 times a day is heaven and I don't feel like crap. And the free day every week has got me sold. Won't post any pictures though, SORRY! It's bad enough seeing myself in the mirror, I don't want to see me on camera..............UGH!

goin crazy........

Finally got my internet working again, but still doesn't seem quite right. Anyways, I closed up for a bit to try to fix it, hopefully all is well. Technology!!!!!!!!!! It's great til it doesn't work and then it seems like everything falls apart. What ever happened to the good old days without it!

I'm open..........

Just for a little bit anyways. To make it easier for a couple people to view the blog, I opened it up.

Finally, decor in the dining room............

I'm so excited! When my friend Tamara and her sister made a surprise vist to me just before spring break, we did our traditional run to Goodwill. Happened to be there on 50% off linens day, and they had some cute stuff from Target. A lot of them were not colors in my house but I wish they were cause they were so cute.

Anyways, I found these, and got them for $1 each. Target is still selling them right now for $10 each. They have subtle cream and red stripes running down them.

On the runner I put black coasters that have a slot for pictures and filled them with pictures of each of us.

It's a feel good room now, I love it. But any suggestions on color for the walls?

My Kids...............

The whole crew!

Trevor, AKA "Bo Bo", has gotten pretty good at posing

Taylor was starting to fall behind, and without me knowing it, Trevor went back to get her. He held her hand to help her, and they started skipping. When I turned around and saw, I tried to get the camera out quick, I just barely missed the hand holding, but I still love this pic.

Love this picture of Cameron.

Trenton's a poser too.

Taylor, the princess, even on a hike.

She had a "bad day".................

Actually, 4 bad days. Everyone knows when my kids are calling because my phone ring for them is "had a bad day". We all actually really love that song. Thing kids sing it so cute. It's also become very fitting.

This was las Thursday. She tripped over her own 2 feet, hit her chin on the tile, and now she has a permanent bump in her chin, along with this lovely bruise for now.

This was the next day. We went to the drive in movies. She stood up in a camping chair, that was on a tilt, on "BOOM", she went down. Split her head open.

The next day...............Trevor ran her over with his scooter, she went down, and a nice bruise appeared on her cheek.

We thought the streak was over. Thursday, we went hiking with Amanda and Ella and Bentley at Red Rock, which was a ton of fun. Ella is so fun. Anyways, while we were loading up, she went back into the desert, into a field of cactus, and YES, she fell right in. It took me and Amanda about 40 minutes to get everything out. This was the end result...........

It was quite a sad thing. Trevor got so worried and teary eyed for her. Then on the way home her gave her a scolding. "I told ya don't do that. I said stop and then ugh." He's quite good at replaying things.

Their spirits for hiking aren't dampened, thank goodness. So we'l be back out there next week.
