Biggest Loser Challenge

I joined a biggest loser challenge with one of my girlfriends of facebook.. Our first weigh in was on Feb. 14 and it ends next week. I am not sure what the outcome will be with the winner, however I feel like I am on my way to a healthier lifestyle. I am 20 pounds lighter and have a lot more energy. I am still have atleast 15 pounds to go.. I will add a picture from our cruise which was at the beginning of Feb. to one I took last week to show you my progress..

Celebration of our 10 year anniversary!!

Justin and I Went on a cruise to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We headed to Long Beach California and went on a Carnival Cruise. We arrived just barely in time for the boat to leave.. We made it with 15 minutes to spare, all I can say is we should of flown in the day before instead of trying to do it all in one day. We sailed to Catalina Island and toured around a bit and shopped at the shops and enjoyed the little beach that they had there. We also went to Ensanada Mexico which was beautiful. We did an excursion which took us up to a famous blow hole where the ocean meets some rocks and forms a geyser, it was spectacular. The ocean was crystal blue and the beaches were beautiful. We enjoyed shopping and naming our own price for things, it was a lot of fun. We also spent a day at sea and Justin won first place in a mini golf tourneyment, which he won a trophey, we danced , did karaoke, enjoyed the free beverages ( non alcoholic of course), laughed at the comedy shows, played minute to win it, bingo, the newlywed game, ate way to much, just to name a few things, and enjoyed each other's company. We had an amazing time enjoying each other's company without the kids thanks to my inlaws. I am so thankful to my wonderful husband for putting up with me for as long as he has so far. Enjoy the pics!..

Feb. 1, 2011. This is us on our way to Catalina Island. We had to take a shuttle boat from the ship to the island.

This is us on Catalina Island. It was super cool with a lot of bungalow type homes. Mostly just shops and restaurants on the beach front. I found a restaurant called Katie's Kitchen.

Feb. 2, 2011 Here are some pictures of our day at sea. We were suppose to spend this day in Mexico but the winds were too high to pull into the port.

Finally Updated

We have been busy doing lots of fun stuff. Christopher played rec basketball and Justin was the coach. We went sledding in January it was a lot of fun. We were blessed with quite a bit of snow this year. Justin and I also had the opportunity to go cross country skiing with Christopher's class. I am horrible at it, Chris and Justin did very well.. We also had a pinewood derby.. Christopher made a perry the platypus car, which won best in show. Garett made a green car with checkers and had a lego man as a driver and he was the fastest car, he won first place in every race. Chelsea also had a car that she did and she was the fastest car in the non scout group.

Update Finally

Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve we went to American Fork Cemetary to take a flower to my mom and brother for Christmas.. we then headed to my Dad and Gaye Lee's house for Pizza ( a tradition) and the kids opened gifts and saw Santa (my dad).. it was a lot of fun to see everyone. We were all there except for Stefanie (lives in Rhode Island), Blaine (on mission) and Luke ( hanging out with his inlaws).. it is always fun to spend time with family.

Christmas morning was a blast!! Christmas with kids is full of adventure and excitment. We decided as a family that 7 am was a good time to see if Santa came. At 4 am Garett came into my room and told me he was ready and that we could just wake everybody else up.. I disagreed and he kept coming in every half hour. We caved and went down at 6:30..


We opened gifts and headed to my dad's house for a good breakfast and to talk to Blaine who is serving a mission in Washington DC.. Justin's parents and brother came over for a ham and turkey dinner. It was a really good day.. Carter kept asking me when we were going to go to Christmas. I tried to explain but he kept getting upset that we waited all this time and we still were not going to Christmas. The day after he said I guess we will have to wait till next Christmas to go.. Enjoy the pictures..

Adventures since last post

I am so bad at this whole blogging thing. I really need to stick with it for the few that actually give a darn.. Like my sis in Rhode Island. We have been up to no good like usual. I have added some pictures of crazy hair day from school I did Chelsea's hair BIG and she looked in the mirror and was so excited, then she decided she will be made fun of so I pulled it back.. some pictures form Corn Belly's and some Christmas pictures. I am so thankful to my wonderful husband who has picked up a second job so I can be an exclusively a stay at home mom. I love it!! We are excited for Christmas and can't wait to go on a cruise for our 10 year anniversary the first week of Feb. I hope everyone is doing well!!

Merry Christmas
