New Projects...

I finally finished this blanket for a friend of mine who is having a little girl in April. I absolutely love it to pieces!!! I told Corey when we have a girl I am going to make another one just like it cause I love it so much. It has a vintage feel to it. I hope she loves it too!!

Oh and please excuse me while we move. I may not be posting very much for the next couple weeks while I get moved in, take before and after pictures, and just get settled, man moving is the pits!! I can't wait til this is all over.

Progress!!

And so it begins...

Biggest Loser Update

Well the weights are in and I'm sad to say I did not win the money pot from my biggest loser competition. However I am happy to say that I did lose a grand total of 12 lbs!!! I just have to be proud of that because that was very good for me!


Oh and this little man I like to call "BryBry" has become quite the little stinker!!! Getting into everything he shouldn't and having a huge smile the whole time he's doing it! I tell him no he looks at me gets a bigger smile and pushes that gosh darn button and then he goes to time out where we sits patiently until the buzzer goes off and runs right back and does it again. Boy oh boy what am I gonna do with this kid???

Don't worry Corey I didn't let him turn the computer off.

Pay it Forward

I love this idea, so I joined and here it goes!! Spreading the fun!


"Here's how it works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well-before you leave your comment here, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Then come back, let me know you're going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick!"

So here is how I feel...

We have 12 days left until we move. I ordered boxes a week ago and still haven't gotten them. I'm not too stressed about that cause like I said we still have 12 days. But the thing that is really bothering me is the lack of food that we have. If any of you knows me you know how horrible I am at shopping for food. I decided a while ago that we were only going to eat what we had at our house until we left so that we wouldn't have to pack up a lot of food and give a lot away or throw it away. That lasted a little while til we had NO meat left in the house. Now we could have gone vegetarian but we had no veggies either. We were down to a few cans of tomato paste and roman noodle. And a few other weird things. So we went and bought a few things and now we are out again. I'm telling you I'm horrible at shopping!! My wonderful sisters-in-law gave me great cook books and I really want to use them I'm just afraid of having a ton of food left over when we leave. So I guess what I'm going to do is sit down and figure out how many dinners I can make with a bag of chicken and go and just get what I need. I know it sounds silly but this is what stresses me out, not the fact that I'm leaving in 12 days and it doesn't even look like it in my house.

P.S. I am not the biggest chicken fan either, don't like the taste or smell of it, this is gonna be a long 12 days!!

I'm way EXCITED!!!

I can't wait to get to Arizona and make some super cute pillows and curtains with this cute fabric I got today!!!

Snow Day

Yesterday morning we woke up with a little bit of snow outside our house. It was not very much but lots of fun to see Dallin playing in it. Bryant wasn't a big fan and even though I liked it it was a little to cold for me. Maybe it was cause I had wet hair from just getting out of the shower and flip flops on, hmmm?? So here is our snow day.

The Biggest Loser...

A few women in my ward and some of their friends all got together at the beginning of the year to do our own version of "The Biggest Loser". The deal was everyone had to put in $25 and whoever lost the most weight at the end of 6 weeks got the big pot of money. Well, I still have 9 days left and I really want to work extra hard to lose the most weight!! I have lost around 7-10 pounds so far which seems like a lot but I haven't noticed it too much sadly. And I say 7-10 because it depends on which scale I weigh myself on. I sure hope I win the money cause I sure am trying!! I have done very well this whole time on my portion control and cutting out sweets. I have had a few break downs like when it was the boys birthday and I ate cake, and the other day when Corey was at work and I wanted chocolate chip cookies so I made some, BUT I did take a big plate of them to our neighbors and sent Corey to work with a huge bag the next day. Then there was the super bowl, ahhh maybe I haven't been so good. No but really I think I have made a bunch of changes in my eating habits that have helped. I not only want to lose the weight for the money but also my brother-in-law is getting married in March to a great girl, Whitney (love her already), so I would like to shed some weight before that wedding and my sister is getting married in April and I would like to lose the weight for that. Then there is just the feeling of knowing that your not overweight that makes me happy too. I would love to have that body I had back in the day. I know that isn't gonna happen cause babies sure do change you but I can try anyways. So that is what I am trying to do lose weight for money, weddings and for myself!!!

(but let me tell you, today at the mall that chocolate from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory sure smelt good, I had to plug my nose as I walked by)
