A NEW YEAR!!!

Here is our Christmas tree Christmas morning. So pretty. We totally spoiled the kids, I am determined to not do that ever again, but it is so hard!!! We got loads of snow on my birthday! So fun for the kids. Jed is such a fun dad. He played and played with them.



I will just briefly list all the things we did this last month that I can think of
-big snowfall in december, Jed played with the kids outside for hours while I was inside flat on my back sicker than sick (sickness number 1)
-lost my voice completely for 3 days, that was sickness number 2
-Ella and Zac and Chloe got the stomach flu
-Then ella and Chloe got the stomach flu again
-Birthdays Jed and Mine on mine we went to Happy Sumo, and then realized we forgot our VIP birthday coupon, so we went to Zupas instead.
-Jed went skiing on my birthday (i encouraged that because it was the big snowfall and I couldn't find anyone who could ski with me)
-Jed was out of town on his birthday so his was kinda lame. I got him chocolate cupcakes. But once again, he got to ski on mine.
-we got rear ended a couple of days before christmas. That was a bummer. But we got a new bike rack because of it! YAY!
-Jed chose to get us a couch and entertainment center instead of a bike, the Trek Scratch to be precise. Big sacrifice on his part.
-Santa Lucia, a family tradition in our family. My mom dressed as Santa Lucia and wakes us up early with candles on her head to have swedish pancakes and yummy food, but it is so early no one hardly eats. :) It is a fun swedish tradition and the best part is seeing the kids face when my mom wakes them up. pictures to follow


-we went to Boise. It was great! Everyone was there, so it was just really nice to be together. We played games, went swimming, ate and ate and ate all of the delicious food Cathie made. I now am trying to work that all off.
- Jed's parents got us a GOPRO camera for biking. We are super excited to make biking movies, :).-My favorite pump class got cancelled. Battling depression from no running and no pump class and no biking. My foot is still acting up. SO annoyed. But Chloe said a prayer for me that my foot will feel better, she told me that and today it is feeling better! She is so sweet.
-We (Steve, Jess, Craig, Jed and I) tried a cross fit class with Craig in Boise. It was AWESOME. I want to start a sweet cross fit gym here in Springville. Wouldn't that be cool? We did a workout where you run 1 mile and then do 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 air squats as fast as you can and broken up however you want, and then finish with 1 more mile run. I did mine in 42 minutes I believe. I had to use a rubber band to do the pullups, and did girlstyle pushups, but MAN I was sooo soooo sore the next day. And Steve did Yoga with me at the YMCA. He is such a great brother in law!
-Now I am sick with a cold AGAIN, losing my voice AGAIN.

Now a new year is here. I am excited about that. I made goals, but kept things simple. I always go overboard and overwhelm myself. So the goals are to play with my kids individually each day, read my scriptures everyday, and train for Leadville or Point to Point. So far, I feel like I have done well with the first two. It is so much fun to play with my kids, and we have been doing something everyday, the Easy Bake oven with Chloe, or playing the WII with Zac, or reading books with Ella before her nap. I love them so much. I put my scriptures on the counter so when I get back from working out in the morning and everything is still quiet and dark, I can read the scriptures while eating breakfast. It is really peaceful and a great way to start the day. The other goal I have is to do something nice for someone every day. I started with Jed. I made him a lunch (a rare thing for me, no I am not one of those amazing wifes who make a lunch for their husband everyday), and I stuck a note in his laptop. Here's to 2011!
