Happy Holidays: A Quick Recap

As usual my attempts to get a Christmas card out failed- (look for a Valentine coming your way) So a qucik recap of our post Vegas holiday adventures since I haven't bloged in a while.

Christmas: Was wonderful- Sydney got a tramploine from Santa and Cash got a jumping thing (see pictures)we headed up to the hospital for Santa (I had to work) and then home for a relaxing day. Then we had my sister's and their families along with my Mom brave the cold Utah weather. It was a lot of fun being together- I love my family.

New Year's: My Mom stayed and we headed downtown for New Year's Eve. We had fun doing the various First Night activities and dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen. Then Mom headed home with the kids to ring in the New Year watching Mary Poppins (thanks again Mom) and Johnny and I went to the movies and got out just in time to see the fireworks. Resolutions? definitly the theme for us this year is get more organized- physically, spiritually and emotionally. So I will keep you posted on how we do. Hope yo all had a Happy New Year-

Waist Not Want Not

So I am the first one to admit that I am not the most active exercise conscious person, but having two different people question if my post baby pouch was signs of a "new" one coming instead of the reality that I need to start to do something so for the new year I have given up sugar-just Monday-Friday and am starting to do yoga once a week (hey this may seem like baby steps, but since a baby caused the original problem- I am pacing myself) So far since startin this in the beginning of January I have lost five pounds (8 to go). So if anyone has wanted to try to lose some extra pounds-try cutting out your sugar intake an see what happens.
