Early morning BOOTCAMP!

So! I have been going to bootcamp with some crazy women from my ward for the past couple months. We have to leave at 5:10am and drive out to a killer bootcamp session from 5:30-6:30am Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. These women are lots of fun and definitely make exercise entertaining! This mornig we drove as usual all the way out to bootcamp and sat in the car waiting for the instructor to get there. Ashlea had the genius idea of ditching and getting waffles for breakfast. So naturally we did! Haha! I know I will be regretting this decision later today when I am exhausted and feeling fat but for now I had a very enjoyable morning!! Thanks ladies!


WOW! Can't believe I am posting thiese pics! I look horid in the mornings! :)

Ashlea and I! Ewww! I look so gross! Yummy food though!

Christi Jensen! Sooooooo photogenic! Even at 5:30am!

The Boys were excited about the hats!

30, flirty and thriving!







Yes I turned the big 30 last week! And I have mixed feelings about it! I don't really feel different but 30 just sounds so OLD! Since my birthday was on Monday we celebrated it all weekend long. I liked to think of it as a celebration of my 20's, and NOT turning 30! :)


I had a very nice "Birthday weekend" filled with shopping, eating out and visiting with friends. Ron took me shopping (I love shopping with him he's so good at picking out things that will look good on me. Although his taste is a little more expensive than mine but... like I said he has good taste!)


I had a friend ask me what the highlight of my 20's was. That's a tough one. My first answer was getting married! clique! I know. But as I thought about it more I decided that there really wasn't one defining great moment in my 20's but a series of events that just kept getting better and better. Cheesy I know but I really do feel like my life as much as it is changing and progressing it just keeps getting better and better. So that's my answer and I'm sticking to it!
On my actual Birthday I got a sitter and went to lunch with my best friend Lindsey and my sister Maddy! We went shopping and hung out afterwards. I honestly believe that you are are only as old as you act. And judging from these pictures I think we are still 17 years old! I really had a nice birthday and I think am ok with being old and leaving my 20's behind!
ROAR!


Mason made me this birthday card! Such a sweetheart! Our Nanny Brianna helped him and it really means a lot to me! Mason doesn't sit still for very long periods of time, so I know he must have really wanted to make this for me. He was really excited to finally give it to me on my birthday! He kept telling me for days that he had a surprise for me. (And he wouldn't tell me either! I tried really hard to get it out of him!) I love it!

New Year's Resolutions!


Ok. I figure if I write them down then I HAVE to follow through with them! My New Year's Resolutions are very similar to past resolutions!


1. I want to study my scriptures more (DAILY)! My goal is to not sit down to watch TV or a movie until I have done my scripture reading for the that day! Hopefully that will motivate me a little more. The problem is I don't watch TV every day... hmm maybe I will read the scriptures before I floss or something?!?! haha 2. I really want to focus on a healthy (but yummy) eating lifestyle. With my boys getting older and my children multiplying I really want them to have the best start for life. Since I can't really go back to school right now I have decided to teach myself and study about Nutrition. I plan on studying 1 book on healthy eating/nutrition each month... So far I'm on page 2 of the Book "SUPERFOODS The Healthiest Foods on the Planet". I better get cracking the month of January is already halfway over!
3. I am not very good with home decorating. In fact I'm so bad that I just don't do anything. So I want to work on improving my home a little more. I plan on using and abusing Pinterest and copying others ideas. I have already made this really cute Valentines wreath thanks to a friends' craft night! I LOVE it and wish that Valentines Day lasted all year long so I don't ever have to take it down!
