Blogger's Block, and fun pictures...

Yes I have a bit of blogger's block lately. Everytime I sit down to type something I never end up finishing my post, or I get interrupted, or if I do get a minute at the computer I prefer to research something, plus I have gotten quite busy.
I have started teaching spin twice a week (Wednesday nights at 8:30pm and Saturday mornings at 8:15am if you want to come!) I am teaching my Pump class on Monday and Thursday morning's at 6:30am and I have 3 people that I meet with every week for fitness constultations, which is a lot of fun. But with the fun takes a lot of research and prep so my spare time is usually spent creating spin classes, finding good music, or something else fitness related.
I also am addicted to a new blog http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/ and have been spending a lot of my late night time there!
Anyway what is a post without pictures right?! So here are some updated pictures of My Beautiful Lily.


You can't see the shirt very well, but it does say "Daddy's Girl". Even though she is quite attached to me, I love this shirt and got quite a few pictures of Cory holding her with this shirt on that are cute...



Yes look closely at this picture and you will see Lily's first tooth poping out of her gums!


Oh man I love bath shots! This is the day she figured out that she could splash!


Lily isn't much for sitting down anymore. She is obsessed with walking (with help) and loves this little spot at the end of Bensen's bed.


This is classic Lily! She is always grinning and such a happy girl - The room lights up when she is in it - ok so I'm a proud mom :)


Hope your having a fabulous January so far -

Holiday Highlights...

We had a great Christmas Holiday this year. It was great having everyone off school and work (even though I was a little nervous about me really enjoying this) and enjoying a whole bunch of time together!

This year Christmas was special to me. We took time to learn as a family the true meaning of Christmas and talked a lot about the Savior and how Christmas is special because He was born on that day. And because of Him we are all able to become better people. It is very sacred when you see the click in a child's eye's of that wonderful blessing and I know Asher is more aware of Him now.
We read in the bible, and tried to give the kiddos a real life account of the nativity story. All in all, there was definetly a special spirit hanging out at my house over the holiday.

Shaner, me and Lily


I made a special Christmas Eve dinner. We had ham, sweet potatoes
corn, spinach salad and apple pie (for Cory), oreo pudding pie (for Asher),
and Dairy Free and Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie for Bens and I. (Yes it sounds
bad but turned out great!)

The Sunday before Christmas we went over to my mom's
and had a Christmas Party. Asher loves space and was totally
excited about this moon that lights up and shows the lunar phases...


On Christmas Eve we went sledding. Cory was fabulous and sat in the truck with
Lily so I could ride with the boys...we had a blast (even if our sled was broken)


Santa gave Asher this Star Wars Lego set. He also got the cowboy
hat and guns. He's so funny...


Asher put the hat on Lily and she was actually quite happy with it on...


On Christmas Day after opening presents we spent the rest of the day with Cory's
Family opening presents and of course eating! We have such a great time together -
I love his family!


And Last but not least Cory's favorite present! He bought (2) 4-wheelers for Christmas.
One to fit Asher and one a little bigger that he can ride. They have had so much fun on
them and Asher is really good and driving his. It fits him perfect as you can see from the picture
and he loves the helmet! (Good Thing)



I hope you all had a fab. Christmas and enjoyed some down-time.
