January Happenings!

Seriously January is not my favorite month. Well for me its a let down from October, November, December parting that goes on with all the holidays! But we did have some fun things that we did. Here they are~

Great~Grandma and Grandpa is back in town till the end of March

Breken hanging at Mimi's house

Ha Ha Breken helping his Mimi out vacuuming

Dave and I decided to go for a Jeep ride. It was not to cold. It really was a nice day. It was almost 70 degrees that day. He is always asking me can we go for a jeep ride??? I laugh, its not a bad hair day! When its a bad hair day its good. Cause then I just put my hair up. Other wise I ruin a good hair day by the wind blowing it into knots!! I know it sounds girlie...

~EGGS! Jaren discovered his chickens are laying eggs now. He gets one a day.

Dave and I went to a Eagle Court of honor the other night. They had this eagle there. Oh she is a beautiful bird. It was sooo neat to get up close and see her.

First Time Being Sick

Breken is 7 months old. And this is the first time he has been sick. Amazingly he has been exposed to a lot and never gotten sick. Jaylyn still nurses him and I think that has been the trick. No one in the family had anything so we were surprised he got a cold. But I think he is also teething. So Jaylyn took him to the doctors and they gave her some cough medicine which he was not coughing really bad but it really worked for him. And she spent the day with me so that I could help her take care of him. I had fun we just put him in my bed with his blank and just hanged out for the day. I say it a tons but he is a good baby even when he is not feeling well.

16 Week Challange!

OK I'm really going to post this!!! This is for my journal process sooo here it is! A year ago I signed up on Bodybuilding.com with my friend Cheryl to be more inspired to change my body. Now I know my girls get mad at me and say Mom you exercise to much, Your skinny LOL Ah wait till your my age one day and exercise and eating will be their main focus! Seriously I don't exercise to much and eating habits I'm trying to be better at. I can say I don't eat bad. Just sugar issues. Who doesn't have that problem. My eating issues are that I really don't eat enough all day. Can't say those pictures show that...lol but my problem is that when I'm not hungry I don't eat. I have always been that way. I don't eat consistent meals all day. So I'm trying to eat breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack, bedtime! With protein and vegetables and good fats to help balance me. It's freakin hard! To eat when your not hungry. Like now...I need to eat lunch and I'm not hungry! But my focus is that I want to be healthy and happy. I want to be able to run when I'm 60! And that is not to far off in the distant either! Ok like 10 yrs from now but I want to be able to move around. I have good health in my life. I would like to keep it around. So this year I hit the BIG "50" Ta da!! And I will be embracing it! I DON'T feel like I'm turning that old. And really 50 is not OLD!! So I have a few goals I'm working on. I'm in a 16 week challenge beginning the 1st of Jan. It's with Bodybuilding.com. It can be a bit intimidating as to where there are a lot of people that are fit. But I'm in the group 40 + group. So I'm in my age group. This is the first week for me to start my challenge. How am I doing?? Ha half and half. But I need to learn not to be so hard on myself. I'm learning to do this on my own. With the support of the site I'm on. But my friend Cheryl is going to school to be a trainer and we don't have time to spend at the gym like we used to. So my motivation has to come with in myself. Like yesterday it was a good-bad-ugly day feeling! And today is....well I did not make it to my trainer cause I did not feel well. But I need to keep on the up swing and not give up. I want my body to have definition in my arms, legs and get rid of my stinkin pooch! But the glory of this journey is that Dave and I and Cheryl and her husband Laci have a cruise planned in April to celebrate our 50th birthdays. Poor David has already crossed that path of turning 50. But he is soo excited to be celebrating with us. That's what is motivating me for this challenge. I'll admit, I want a hot sexy body by April! LOL Who doesn't want one! I know my girls are dying! And possibly others that read this to! Goal is to eat right, stay focused, do my workouts with my trainer, and ON my own. I can do it!! But thanks to my brother David who helps me and inspires me to. And my friend Cheryl who does the same and has those same goals in mind. Getter done Pamela!!

Happy New Year 2011

Dave and I had a simple New Years Eve. He spent the day with helping Jaren put in or finishing up with his stereo system he had been working on all week. I had a high school friend come into town visiting her daughter for Christmas. She came for the day to see the house. We had lunch together and got caught up on life. Jaren had one of his missionary companions come with a few other kids and they did their own party thing for the new year. Dave and I went to dinner at the Blue Wasabi and had sushi. And went to see a movie. Gulliver's Travel with Jack Black. It was a good movie. You have to like Jack Black.. its his style of movie. Then we just headed over to Jaylyn's and Jacobs place about 11:30 and watched Time Square and brought in the New Year! Kinda quite but nice! We had a good 2010 year. A lot of adjusting to a new house new ward new area to shop in. But we look forward to the new year. We have lots planned already. Like in April we are dong a cruise. Its my 50th birthday celebration! Yep 50 this yr. Bring it on!!!!! Going with our friends Laci and Cheryl. All three of us are hitting the big 50. Then we are going to South Carolina for business in May. I'm excited for that. Never been there. It will be fun to sight see and see the history there. And then of course Lake Powell for the summer!! So Happy New year 2011!!
