Day One!

Day One. A photo of myself and how my day was...

So I thought this would be a funny picture of myself because if anyone really knows me they know that I DO NOT cook. I don't enjoy it and honestly, I'm not very good at it. I am not afraid or ashamed to admit it! :) I have many things that I do enjoy and that I am good at so I don't feel bad that cooking is not one of them. However, I was pretty proud of this pie.

Now on to my day. I had plans to start out my day early, head to work at 6am so I could get some stuff done before the craziness hit...didn't work. I slept in until 7 and didn't get to work until 8. I did get my paperwork done though, it just took a little longer than I wanted. I am working at Planet Fitness in Ogden and we have been open for about 3 weeks now. It has been pretty crazy but tons of fun. So my day was spent at the gym from 8am to 6:45pm. Now I get to finish the day by hanging out with my awesome hubby and kids.

Not too exciting but hey, it's my life!

30 Day Blogging Challenge

My awesome Sista S, copied something from her friend that I am copying from her. It is an awesome idea and I am glad that she found it. It is the 30 day blogging challenge.

Cookin with Mom

Aidan has always been our little "cook". We decided to get creative last week and make some apple and cherry turnovers. During this process I was reminded why I do NOT like to cook. It was fun playing in the kitchen with Aidan though.








The final product!

Treehouse Museum

We took Aidan to the Treehouse Museum with my Mom and Sister. What a fun place!

Aidan got to act in a short play while there

Friends and Roller Coasters

Aidan has made some great friends here in Plain City. The boys came over to our house and decided to put together James' and Aidan's rollercoaster. Their original plan was to bring it from the upstairs, to the main floor and then down stairs but the upper stairs were too steep so here is the starting point.
They took the track downstairs and then had RC help them make a few loops in it. It was fun listening to them work together and problem solve.



Just to add some variety they used shoes to prop up the track and then decided to make it go under the computer chair.
The final result was an awesome roller coaster! :) Great job boys!

Halloween

I miss the days when Halloween was cute! Now that Aidan is getting older he wants to be scary. This year he couldn't decide between a zombie or a warrior so this is his "zombie-warrior" costume. :)

This year we went to our friends Joseph and Kendra's Ward Trunk or Treat in Layton. Here's Joseph's costume, a BYU fan.
It was raining so hard outside that Kendra and I elected to hang out in the back of their van and hand out candy to the little kids while RC and Joseph took our kids around the parking lot.
All in all it was a fun Halloween!

The BIG Move

Well, it's been a while since I updated my blog. I'm waaaayy behind. So here goes... Last month (October) RC, Aidan and I moved to Plain City Utah.

My job with Planet Fitness has given me the opportunity to manage a gym in Ogden.
We packed up the house (which was absolutely no fun at all) and made the trek to Utah. We found a house in Plain City and absolutely love it here! We have already made some wonderful friends and have an amazing Ward. Aidan loves his new school and is always commenting that he wants to go back to Boise so that he can brag to his friends about his school. Briana stayed in Boise with the WONDERFUL Erekson Family and is enjoying her Senior year and Emilee is doing great at BYU-Idaho.

We have truly been blessed.
