Life is interesting. It weaves, flows, stutters, changes and is continually moving. For the last little while, I have been on a journey of self-discovery. It all began in January, when I was at my highest weight EVER. It was completely shocking and discouraging. I have struggled with my weight for several years, but this was a low point. I finally realized that it was just not going to go away or get better without me really focusing on it and CHANGING my lifestyle. It's been an interesting year, as I have tried to find the right program for me to get healthy. Something that I have especially come to understand is that without cleansing my mind, my physical body will never be healthy. It's been a STRUGGLE! I've fought with myself and I'm still too hard on myself, but I am learning WHO I ... [Read More]

Life 365 | Week 19
Monday, May 3, 2010 Today was my chosen day to do the A DAY IN MY LIFE Challenge, so my notepad and my computer were used all day. It was a crazy day with lots of cleaning, store assistant duties, being with the kids and more. A big highlight of the day for my kids was the great weather outside. They spent the whole afternoon (after school) outside doing lots of things including blowing bubbles. Beth loves the Spring flowers that are popping up! Tuesday, May 4, 2010 Yesterday was so exhausting that I needed to have a more laid back day today. I accomplished a few things, but mostly spent the day being lazy and Beth and I completed another puzzle! I love that Beth loves to do puzzles! Wednesday, May 5, 2010 Happy Cinco de Mayo! We had bean, rice, and cheese quesadillas for dinner and ... [Read More]
Life 365 | Week 14
Monday, March 29, 2010 The end of March/beginning of April totally snuck up fast on me. I suddenly realized how much I needed to get done this week! To begin with - we needed to get Beth's invitations done - and so we got the order sent in! (The above photo is what we received on Friday of this week)! I think they turned out very cute! Tuesday, March 30, 2010 I just love it when the kids are happy and playful. They were in FLYING mode today and it was fun to see them have a good time together. I worked a lot today on a new kit and getting my Digitals store assistant jobs handled. Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Joey worked from home today and was there to greet our cute Bethie Bunny when she got home from school. So cute! Being that Joey was home and I didn't have a crop tonight - we ... [Read More]

Monday, February 15, 2010 We did some deep cleaning of the house today. It was such good weather - it almost felt like Spring. It really felt great and after being sick all last week, it felt good to get the house all clean and sterilized and aired out. Tuesday, February 16, 2010 Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen and Uncle Lane and Uncle Clint arrived today to spend a couple of days. It was great to get to visit with them. We got some KFC take-out, played some Wii and just visited. Wednesday, February 17, 2010 A busy day today. Grandpa and Grandma and Lane went to to Salt Lake City to do some shopping, take care of some business, and a special banquet for Lane. Clint got to hang-out with us all day.

Life 365 | Week 7
Monday, February 8, 2010 The kids still were not up to going to school today so we hung out in our pjs all day. Our fun activity for the day was doing a little beading! Beth made a necklace and JJ made a bead string. They had a great time! Tuesday, February 9, 2010 We decided to give the kids just one more day at home. I was not feeling so great and was just really tired so I decided to just give the kids their bath/shower at the same time tonight. Beth took the bath and JJ took the shower and they loved it! Wednesday, February 10, 2010 The kids went back to school today. They were so sick of being outside and so they were so delighted! They both had a great day and were in much better moods than yesterday! Thursday, February 11, 2010 Joey's gift to me for Valentine's Day arrived ... [Read More]
Life 365 | Week 1
Monday, December 28, 2009 Beth has really been enjoying her new dress-up dresses and its the first thing she does when she wakes up in the morning. Right now her favorite is her snow white dress. She discovered that if she stands by the heater her dress flares up and she gets the whole big dress effect - so much fun! Tuesday, December 29, 2009 We got a light snow fall today and it was just nice to sit inside watching movies, reading and playing on the computer and Wii. The kids are still enjoying all their new toys and we even had a nap! Wednesday, December 30, 2009 Today was a fun day. We woke up to a lot more snow and we just had to go play in it. The kids got to wear their new coats and boots and we went into our little yard and built our "Frosty", threw a few snow balls, ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 16
Monday, April 13, 2009 We celebrated Beth's Birthday today. I can't believe it has really been 4 years since she was born. Cody and Becki came over for dinner and the party and I'm so glad that they live here and could come and celebrate with us. We had Beth's favorite meal, Beef Ravoli with Red Sauce. And then Beth got to open her presents. She got some Princess Flip-flops and sunglasses from Cody and Becki and a My Little Pony house with mini ponies & Disney Princess Dress-up Dolls from Joey and I. Becki's sister Ashley, made Beth a darling My Little Pony Cake, which she just loved. Happy Birthday Beth! Tuesday, April 14, 2009 Beth got one more day to shine. Her teacher crowned her the Birthday Princess for the day at school and of course that just made her so excited. She wore ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 3
Monday, January 12, 2009 Mondays are now Joey's official day for recording his podcast. Joey and Pete have started TREKWEST 5, a podcast where they review tv shows (starting with Star Trek, The West Wing, and Babylon 5 - hence the name). Joey is really enjoying this new endeavor and I was excited to be able to create a logo for them! Tuesday, January 13, 2009 We finally decided that it was time to put the Christmas tree away. The kids were not very happy about it - but they did help me get everything into the boxes. That's the nice thing about artificial trees is that you can wait as long as you want before putting it away - the tree is not going to die on you! I grew up with having real trees - so I really do enjoy that - but an artificial tree is nice too! Wednesday, ... [Read More]
