Resolutions.....

Okay so I have had some time to think about what my resolutions for the new year are going to be.
Here goes........
1. Be better with a budget (this is mine every year and most of the time it is an EPIC FAIL!)
2. Try to make it to the Temple more often
3. Just be a better (maybe nicer) person
4. Run the Moab 1/2 marathon in March!! NO chickening out here!
5. Spend more time with my kids
6. Get organized, I was super organized until my little monkey wrench Ewan came into the picture :)
7. Be less stressed out (if anyone has any ideas for this comment away)!
8. Quit the Diet Coke.... this is going to be the hardest for me as most of you know!!!

Well there are some I hope that this year I can be better at all of the above and accomplish all my goals. Wish me LUCK! I figure if I post them I have people who know what I am doing and can check up on me!

Happy New Year!!!

To start the year off we headed to Colorado Springs to "hike" around the Garden of the Gods. Joyce came along for the fun too. We had a really nice time the weather was perfect! What a fabulous way to start the new year off. We hope that this year is filled with love and peace and that if 2008 was not a good year 2009 is better.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Playtime with family

JOyce, Jon, Jennifer and Max came down before departing back to Encinitas to play a bit. We had no snow so had to be creative and went grass sledding. The kids had blast! We had lots of fun with Jon, Jen and Max we can't wait until Mexico in June YAY!!!!

Christmas #3 with the Snapp-Cook/Gill family

After driving home from Southern Utah we were able to have a little Christmas celebration with Leif's mom, his brother Jon his wife Jennifer, Max and Leif Aunt Judy and his cousins Jenny her little girl Fatu and sig. other Carlos and his other cousin Corbin. We had lots of fun together and of course the little cousins had a blast too.

Christmas #2 with the Heyborne family

The day after Christmas we went to Kanab to see my Uncle Lyle and Aunt Marj. My cousins were there too! It is fun to be with and see them. My cousin Bill's ( I guess he no longer goes by Billy) little one got super sick :( poor thing could not go sledding with all the other little cousins. It is funny to see us all with our kids it seems like just yesterday it was us running around in the snow like hooligans! How time flies. I LOVE being with my family we have lots of fun together. The kids had fun sledding behind the 4-wheeler and making s'mores afterwards.

Christmas #1, with the Worthen family

We drove the wonderful 10 hour drive to Cedar City Utah to be with my family this year for Christmas. It was a lot of fun we were all there except for my little brother ad his wife :(. We had a great time! Leif and I were able to take the kids to see Bolt and must see movie, play in the snow and my sister. mom and I saw Twilight!! My sis had already seen but saw it again with me so THANKS! We had a great time I was sad to leave.

Visit from the Cook family

Leif's brother Mac his wife Susan and their son James stopped in for a visit on their way to Florida. It was so good to see them and the cousins had fun playing together! We were glad they could stop in and see us. We can't wait to see them again hopefully sooner than later.
