Just Dance!

The kids thought the Wii game Just Dance would be a great family thing to do for FHE (family home evening). Well they were right! It was really fun and I did get my cardio in for the day, which was an added bonus in my book.

We had a great time and we played for most of the night. It was humbling though to be schooled by this kid, my 5 year old. He out scored my dance moves the last three songs we played! I couldn't believe that I was beaten so badly by someone who I thought would have a hard time picking up this game.

Well I am going to practice while the kids are in school today so that I am ready to have a dance off tonight. Wish me luck!

Death in the family

We had a death in the family yesterday.

While Jake was at school his new pet Ninja died. Ninja had been in our family for a short time, but he was a good fish. After tears were dried we went and picked out a new Ninja. He is very handsome (pictured here) and quite feisty for a Chinese fighting fish.

We hope for a longer life of Ninja 2.

January blues

Already behind in my blogging...

why am I not surprised.

But I have been busy this week,

I don't know with what exactly.

My wheels seem to be stuck in the mud,

or I just can't find my mojo.

This must be the January blues,

even though I live in sunny Arizona.

Here is to 2010

So basically I have been blogging less than half heartedly...

I need to do better if I am going to do this. Cause by nature, I am not a quitter!

So my goal is this, to post at least twice a week. That is my minimum(I hope).

I am going to start out this year by sharing with you my "I am" statement and one word I want to improve on for 2010. My partner gave me this idea (thanks Molly!!) This way I have not failed with my resolutions by the 23rd of this month. These are reminders of what I want to work on for the year.

Be Compassionate

I am reading my scriptures

I am giving Service

I am not a quitter

I am a Cosmetic success story

I am a good wife, mom and friend

Wish me luck!!

30 second round up

Its been so long since my last post ( I need to do better in 2010). I am going to bring you up to speed in 30 seconds.

Jackson finished football

started basketball (love the 5:30am practices!)

Jake finished football

Maddy finished Joseph (she was wonderful!)

Haley went to Winter Formal

Haley and I went to New York City for our birthdays this month!

Did I say how fun it was?

It was great fun!!!

Our house was Christmastized and

just started my shopping today, 12/15/09.

Working on What's your Virtue (a little business we started) like crazy,

but loving every minute of it!!

Really enjoying my kids and husband!

Life is good,

I am so blessed!!

October flew by...

I have one word to describe the past 30 days.....BUSY! I am not complaining, just stating a fact.

We had Grandparents from South Dakota the last week of October and here is sampling of what they got to do while they were here. It started with a final 9th grade football game, then a final fall baseball game, a pee-wee flag football game and finally we got to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat all before we carved pumpkins and trick or treated!

Maddy did such a great job in Joseph. She had worked so hard since early September. The show itself was wonderful and the performers were great! Jackson had a great football season and only got to play two baseball games due to his finger injury. He received the "tough nut" award from the football coaches. Not surprised by that.

We have had two local sales events for this and the first month has been really busy. Go to the web site and check out all that is happening on our blog.

I am thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can't believe how fast this past 6 months have gone. It is hard to believe that this is Haley's last round of Holidays at home. Next year at this time she will be a college student coming home for the Holidays. That is just CRAZY!

Here is a picture of our Mexico group. We had a really fun time even with the two injuries we incurred. We are beach lovers, plain and simple!
