Just a few pics...

Oh bedtime! So much fun.

Taft's first haircut, this is before I shaved it...wait till you see the next pictures.

He's getting so big isn't he?

Yeah, we have a little bit of snow in our yard. This is actually after it melted about a foot.

Opening presents on Valentines Day.


He's on the move! Taft loves to crawl all over the place. He's trying to move on to walking already!

















Kissing cousins, Mac and Jaymie at Christmas time. So cute!

What you should know if you sell your car...

If you sell your car to an individual make sure, in addition to filling out a change of owner form, you send a letter to the DMV giving them all of the info about your car, sign it, and give the date the car was sold and to who. Then follow up a few weeks later to make sure the title is still not in your name. If you don't do this, the title could be in your name still and anything that car does falls back on you. So, in my case I sold my Honda in June and just got a letter from a collections agency saying I owed $600 to a towing company. Why? Because my Honda had been abandoned and my name was still on the title. Seiously, don't let this happend to you!!!

I made this for the Super Bowl party and it was gone in seconds. Definatley make more than one pan if your doing it for a crowd, it goes fast!

Snowday!

I know this is a dupclicate of Susan's blog, but I didn't have my camera and I thought the kids looked SO CUTE. They had so much fun sledding down the little hill at our park. It was funny to watch them try to walk though it. They all loved it and didn't even complain about it being too cold. Mac loved my snowboard and only wanted to ride down on it. Great idea Susan, lets do it again!

Sundance might not have the best snow, but I think it has some of the most amazing views. I got to go last week (thanks to Tiff watching my kids!) it was an awesome day!

Update on my resolutions

Well...Taft IS in his own bed and doing great! He has slept all the way through the night one time, so I know he can do it. I feel a sense of freedom having my bedroom back to myself. It's nice. Just when I feel like I am getting the night time thing under control, Mac learned how to climb out of his crib! Now I need to train him to sleep in a big boy bed.
The potty training is not happenin!
I went to the gym everyday last week! If any of you mom's need a pick me up, you should start doing this. I get an hour alone to think/listen to music/watch TV all while I work out. I feel soooo much better when I am active. Also, Mac has a blast at the kids club there. Everyday he says, "go to gym?"
So, I'm feeling pretty good about my goals so far (I know it's only been 2 weeks :)

Happy New Year...

OK, do you do New Year resolutions? I never really do...but I always think about it. I decided to get serious about it this year, so here is a list of my goals, incase you really care!
Potty train Mac this month :)
Get Taft to sleep through the night in his own bed
Plan a weekly menu
Go to the gym regularly (I'm already 100% for 2008)
And a few others that I'm always working on.
So..what are your goals for 2008.
By the way, can you believe it's 2008. I moved to Utah 8 years ago tomorrow. I had one friend out here and thought Provo was a big city. So much has happened since then. Life is never dull is it? I wonder what this year will bring.
