I did it!

So, for a long time now I have wanted to run a race. So about a month or so ago I signed up for the biggest loser 5K. I love the show, and there was going to be contestants from previous seasons running the race. So today was the big day. I was so nervous all morning long just thinking about running this thing, I am not sure why. I knew I could finish it, and I wasn't trying to win because I knew I would never be one of the first 3. But I just wanted to finish it with a time I would be happy with. I went into the race shooting for a 30 min. flat  and I finished it in 30 min. and 3 sec. I was a little sad, because I really wanted to get a little under but I guess it's o.k. I technically haven't ran since high school cross country. (and the only reason I joined that was because it was a co-ed sport, and I loved the idea of bus rides with hot boys!!) Just being totally honest. But I am glad I did it I had a lot of fun it was really cold, and I don't think my body ever warmed up but I still had a blast. It was also fun because my friend Josie ran it too. So it was nice having someone I knew with me!

New Year 2011

So we were still in Florida for New Years so we went to dinner with some friends of ours and then headed back to our hotel for a party they were having there. It was pretty lame but oh well it was free. My kids loved it though they met some new friends, and just had a great time playing around, getting their face/body painted, and they had a magician. CJ and I stayed up all night because we flew out that morning at 5:30 so we figured it wouldn't do any good trying to sleep a couple hours. Man were we tired on our flight home. Happy New Year!

   Treyson kept flirting with this girl it was so funny he wouldn't leave her alone.

                      Could they find anymore places to paint?

Pictures finally

So I finally am posting pictures of our Florida trip. I know I am so behind it is so hard keeping up with everything! We had such a great family vacation as usual and Miami was a neat experience. I will hopefully soon post our New Years pictures from Florida and be caught up with my pictures from that.

ThThTh Thirty!!!

I can't believe it!! My husband has dreaded this day ever since I can remember. He felt like he really was old and there was no turning back when he hit 30. Well it's official My husband is an old man!! :) I think he had a very depressing day today... J/K We love you CJ hope you had a great day I still love you even if your an old fart. Happy Birthday!

I think this is how he has felt all day!!

From this to this in 3 days!

So Florida was amazing after the first few cold days it got into the 70's how nice is that. So this is what my kids were doing on there Christmas break!

3 days later at home they were doing this.

Oh how I miss Florida already...

Christmas in Florida

So this year we decided as a family that we have way to many toys, and more clothes than most kids need. So we asked our kids if they wanted to write a letter to Santa and tell him to take all our presents to kids that really need them, and we are headed to Florida for Christmas this year! We are so excited if you don't know, we love Florida and try to make it there as much as possible. This will make it 3 times this year for CJ and I, and twice this year for my kids. We have some really great friends down there CJ met on his mission that we consider family. So I hope the weather will be nice for us down there. We are going to do something new this time and drive to Miami which we have never been to yet, I am super excited! We are definitely going to miss our families here but just felt like it would be a good opportunity for my kids to see something else besides presents this year. We will take lots of pictures to post when we get back we will leave Christmas Day and come back New Years Day!!

New family pictures

So at the first of the month my sister Lisa scheduled pictures with our sister in law Jenny's friend, Kourtney to take our whole family picture for my moms Christmas present. Well while we were there, and all dressed I had her snap a few quick pics of my family. I think they turned out great especially for how quick they were taken, it honestly only took 5 or 10 min. (for my family pictures) you gotta love that! Well here they are, Thanks Kourtney I love them. If you want her info here it is http://www.318photography.com/
