Happy New Year.... AND.... Happy Valentines?




Okay... I guess it is time for my monthly(or every other monthly?) update I have/HAD great intentions for this little "blog" of mine...... maybe some day I will get with it!! I am not scrap booking, or journaling our life events - so I really feel the need to jot down some of our fun (and not so fun) moments.

January was a BLAST!! waaaay better than last year! We had a nice quiet New Years - THANKS to Tara (ha ha). We were supposed to go to a rockin party at her house, but she slipped and fell the day before and broke her leg in 6 different places...... she spent her New Years Eve in the hospital getting surgery - no fun for her - so we had our own New Years Party with our awesome little family.


The boys were off track, so we spent some fun time together. Matt and I decided on a last minute get away - so we drove to St. George and ran our favorite 1/2 marathon, and the boys ran a 5k with Grandma Vickie.... Thanks Vickie!! (Fawntell - one of very BEST friends Mom). It was beautiful weather and we had a really great time. We then journeyed down to Diane and Allan (my sister)'s house in California where we left the kids for the week while Matt and I went on a short little Cruise. It was such a BLAST!!! We just relaxed and took it easy for 4 full days.......It was so much fun.... we didn't do ANYTHING - but sit around, order room service, watch T.V. and read - it was a great trip and such a great time to reconnect with my cute hubby!!

So.... we started of 2009 pretty nicely...... well except for the fact that on our way home our car broke down and it cost $750 smackers to get it back on the road again that stunk, but all in all pretty nice start. We are SURE 2009 will be a better year for our gang!!

As for February - pretty quiet - kids went back on track, Matt is working hard!! We had a fun Valentines Day! OH and we Finally and I mean FINALLY went skiing. Helllooooo we live in Utah - I hate the snow, the only reason snow is good, is for skiing.... AND WE HAVE NEVER TAKEN OUR KIDS???? We just bit the bullet and forked out the cash and finally took the kids to Beaver Mtn. We signed them up for a small lesson and away they went. We had a BLAST!! But I am the loser Mom and stinkin forgot my camera. Not happy about that! But we will go again, and I will for sure get some good picts.

I can not believe it is already going to be March???? We woke up to snow this morning, so it doesn't feel like spring yet.... but I am getting really excited for it to feel like spring!!! Whew... I think I caught us up. I'm sure I forgot some exciting things, but for now I will be happy about this - and just "vow" (again) to be better!
