Yummy Campfire....

So Girls camp is NEXT week!!! We have been working on our ward skit. So last week I decided to make this Yummy Campfire (idea came from the Family Fun magazine) to help get the girls in a camping mood. It turned out soooo cute and it was easy to do!

Still going to the Y...

Okay it's been a month and I'm still going!!! That in itself is a great sign. Still too chicken to get on the scales but I can feel things are different.....I feel stronger, feel better in general---here's hoping I can continue to keep it up!

Going to the YMCA...

Okay, my good friend Angi has been dragging me to the gym. She is a good friend because she inspires me to go even though I grumble and post mean things about her.

I'm not sure how long this kick will last. As with all my exercising attempts, it's all or nothing....I'm good for a while and then it all stops (for various reasons).

So stop in- check up on me, encourage me and even join me in my quest for better health.

We all need a little encouragement now and then right ;)

Something to think about....

Saw this the other day and LOVED it and wanted to share it with all of you.

Squeeze every minute out of life....

Someone asked me the other day if I had my life to live over would I change anything. My answer was no, but then I thought about it and changed my mind. If I had my life to live over again, I would have waxed less and listened more.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy and complaining about the shadow over my feet, I'd have cherished every minute of it and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was to be my only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

I would never have insisted the car windows he rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.

I would have eaten popcorn in the "good" living room and worried less about the dirt when you lit the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would have burnt the pink candle sculptured like a rose before it melted while being stored.
I would have sat cross-legged on the lawn with my children and never worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television....and more while watching real life.
I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband which I took for granted.
I would have eaten less cottage cheese and more ice cream.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for a day.
There would have been more I love you's........more I'm sorry's.....more listening........ but mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute of it....exhaust it......and never give that minute back until there was nothing left of it.....

SOOO Funny

Okay last night at dinner Kaylie was explaining to Mitch what she had for Breakfast. She was describing a Breakfast sandwich Chaia makes.

K: "Daddy, I had a breakfast sandwich like Chaia made me once."
M; "Really-what kind of sandwich does she make?"
K: " She cooks an egg and puts chees on it, then cooks a sausage patty and she puts it all on 2 pancakes."
M: "That sounds yummy"
K: "it's so good I almost PASSED OUT!"

We all busted out laughing....still makes me giggle when I read this.
I think I've had some chocolate cheesecake like that once ;)

LOOK what I did today?

How cute is this? I'm always looking for something cute to make! Well, since Valentine Stuff is already everywhere in every store this is what I came up with.
I hope my YW or my daughters don't follow my Blog too closely if so "SURPRISE"!
Maybe they'll forget by then--Valentine's Day is a month away!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Yes, as usually I'm playing catch up--but we were all under the weather over the holidays so I'm a bit behind.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas & New Year with those they love!!
