No resolutions here JUST GOALS

I don't believe in "resolutions". I believe in GOALS.
With the changes that we made last year with in our family I wanted to get goals and put it down in writing to make me do them! Basicly be held accountable for the goals I set!!

I am going to do it this year - I HAVE TO - it is in INK!! 

Notice I don't say - LOSE 50 lbs... I believe that if I just get fit and toned - the weight loss will come!

What are your GOALS for the next year???

Well Life Got Ahead of Us! Part 2

So where did I leave off - Oh yea... my brother came to visit... This isn't the best picture of all of us - but I have to say - this is the first picture in about 5 years of all of us together - Mom - Dad - Nan - Me and Nathan - yes Natalie and Nathan are twins..no they are not identical...(you wouldn't believe how many people ask me when I tell them that my brother and sister are twins) Here is all of the grand kids all together at once - AMAZING!!

Then Aynsley's birthday came and went - I didn't even blog about her "best birthday" present ever!! Her own sewing machine!!
I should have blogged about Aynsley's first fish ever!!

THEN..... this happened - FOOTBALL! And of course my time was even shorter!! Ryan played for a wonderful Coach here in Grantsville - Scott Barrus - who is just fabulous!! He started at Left Tackle again - he is #77!!
I of course needed to blog about Aynsley's 5th year in a row of performing at half time for mini cheer! But I didnt!
SO we are still alive we have had a nice fall - a visit from Uncle Tom and Aunt Capi - was great!
FOOTBALL has come and gone - with Ryan making it to the playoffs and losing in a heartbreaking TRIPLE OVERTIME!!

The past 6 months have been great - we cant wait to see what the next 6 are like - this time - I promise I will blog about it!!!

Well Life Got Ahead of Us!.....Part 1

So the last 6 months have just blew right by us and out the back door!! Geeze Louise!! I can't believe how life can jut go so fast!! I have thought several times - I needed to blog.. but I had other thing that I needed to do! SOOO had I blogged - this is what I would have blogged about!How Easter came and went - and was COLD!!

How we went and FROZE our arses off at the Super Moto Cross up at the U It rained and rained and rained - We all were so COLD! But it was fun - till the heavens turned the sprinkling system on!!
Oh and I cant forget the proudest moment of the SPRING!! The night that my little dancer preformed in her first Shellies School of Dance - Dance Concert! I am proud to say that I am a very proud Alumni of Shellies and was SOOO SOOO happy that she is now part of this wonderful dance organization.

Then Summer came - and I still kept taking pic's and STILL kept NOT Blogging -


I definitely should have blogged about our "MOST AWESOME" vacation - We called it BASEBALL ON STEROIDS!! We went to the All-Star Game at Angel Stadium! And we went to Fan Fest..... totally cool!!
Who would have thought that in enjoying all of the All-Star festivities that I could/would cross of many many bucket list items - like watching some of my favorite players past/present and future!!It was totally awesome - I must say!! I am so grateful that everyone in my family LOVES LOVES LOVES Baseball!! We tried SPRINKLES for the 1st time!! I must say well worth the 5 bucks a cupcake!! Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!
I should have blogged about us hanging out at the beach! I must say - HEAVEN!
I should have told you all how Shamu is doing... but I didnt!

After we got home - My Brother came in town - it was fabulous seeing him and his family!!
Now tomrw Part 2 of the last 6 months!!

Here is a suggestion UDOT.......

OK - Last week was a BAD commute week - LIKE real BAD !!
First there was the FIRE!! It closed I-80 and 201 - no one could get INTO or OUT OF Tooele County - Yea I could have gone ALLLL the way around to Lehi - but I did not want to.. too many miles, and I had just gone that way over the weekend to my cousins wedding.
SOOO I opted to stay in SLC and wait for the road to open - I got off work at my normal 3:00 - went and picked up Ryan's new glasses.

Listening to KSL the whole time - you know they do traffic every 10 minutes on the 9's!! I then made my way back to West Valley and STILL nothing - its 4:15 now - COME ON!! I have a hair appt in Grantsville at 5:00 - this is not happening!!!Well the road is closed - can't get through - OK FINE!! - I will call Amanda and let her know I am not going to make it.... aarrgg my roots are showing...

SO now I have my hair appt canceled - just sitting there waiting for them to open the road - then those magical words come over, (on one of the 9's) - 201 is open!! I make a bee-line down 56th and get on the 201!! Whew! smooth sailing TILL I get to the middle of Kennecott - now we are all backed up trying to get through and get home - bumper to bumper all the way to the Lake Point light!!! aargg again - I just want to get home - please!!!
Finally I get home - at 5:45 - safe and sound - hair appt canceled - dinner ready to go however - YEA me - Leo made dinner for us!!

Well then the very very next day - SNOW BLEK!!! This commute didn't take me as long a the day before - but I still didn't get home till 4:45 - but I left at 3:30!
AND then - the very next morning -WHITE OUT going to work - one lane plowed on 201 through Kennecott... aarrggg - I give up! An hour and 15 minutes to work - please! I am sick of traffic problems!!

SO - here is my suggestion to UDOT - Tooele County needs another road to and from Salt Lake County -
Lets build a tunnel
right there at the Stansbury Light - just go right through the mountain to the other side - We will come out at about 5400 so. and Bacchus Highway - EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY!!!

NO snow in the tunnel - No fires in the tunnel - make it 2 lanes - BOTH ways !! With a lane in the middle for Emergency personnel - HECK make it a TOLL ROAD - I would pay it!!
PLEASE UDOT - PLEASE!!!
My hair appt isn't till the 17th now - aarrgg - when you see me don't laugh at my roots please - I know that they are BAD!!
