New Years Resolution

This year my New Year's Resolution is to lose weight. Does that sound familiar?? Of course it does because I have said this for the past 4 years. But this year I am really going to do it. We are doing a Biggest Loser Competition with some of Ryan's family. We each put in 25.00 and there are 11 of us doing the competition. So the winner will get 70% and the second runner up will get 30% of that money. We weigh in every Sunday and its going to last 12 weeks. Its definitely a motivator for me. I am very competitive. I have a brand new treadmill in my basement that has been sitting here for 2 years never used. I walk right past it everyday to sit down to get on the Internet. So today I forced myself on it and worked out and then I did some crunches and it isn't as hard as I have told myself it would be. I am trying to do it everyday. I would post some before shots but I don't want to scare people out of reading my blog.

This Is Why We Are Never Buying Another Real Christmas Tree

Laney & Saylor

I thought these pictures were so cute of Laney and Saylor. Laney always says I want to pet Saylor or Ava or Ali. Shes so cute. Saylor is the tiniest baby, she has the smallest legs. I was changing her diaper and was afraid I was going to snap her legs in two. She is so sweet and has the prettiest eyes. She's so precious. We love her!!

Christmas 2008

Every year on Christmas we go to Ryan's parents house and have a huge brunch with the whole family. It so nice to be able to get together with everyone and celebrate Christmas. The kids love going there. Here are some random shots of Christmas morning at our house. We took our camera to Ryan's parents but always forget to take pictures. And that's where I found my camera.

Christmas Eve 2008

We usually go to my Dad's house on Christmas Eve but this year they decided to come over to our house. It was a nice change. We had a small dinner and some chips and dips and had a really nice visit. Here are some random pictures from the night.

I Can't Find My Camera

I have no idea where its at. I have looked every where. Once I find it I will post pictures of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Our Sad Tree

Our poor tree, from lack of watering, it is slowing beginning to die. You can tell from looking at these pictures that the bottom half is sagging down. Our ornaments keep falling off it and the bottom half is touching the carpet. Ryan is afraid to turn the lights on for fear that it will go up in flames. I guess this is why we have always had a fake tree. I told Ryan that we will need to go to the after Christmas sale and get a fake tree. Target has a awesome black one that I want, so hopefully I can get it at a rippin deal.





This is the tree from Target I want. So cool.
