Hello SPT!

Ok so I am admitting I have been a lurker of Lelly's Blog for some time now.

I am now coming out of lurkdom :)

And I know the "T" stands for Tuesday, not Thursday. Sue me ;)

I love the idea of a "word of the year".

My word of the year is going to be *drumroll* ~ "BUILD"~

~I am going to build myself, physically by exercising 6 days a week.

~I am going to build myself spiritually by praying and reading my scriptures on a daily basis.

~I am going to build myself mentally by reading uplifting books and by trying to challenge my 3 remaining braincells.

~I am going to build a strong family by leading them in the ways of the Lord.

~I am going to build a stronger marriage for my husband and I.

~I am going to build lasting and wonderful friendships.

Thanks for the idea Lelly!

Something new....

Today is my first edition of Works-For-Me Wednesday Backwards Edition, in which you ask a question of your readers instead of sharing a piece of advice. (I've never done the "forwards edition" either. ;) LOL)

My question is "What do you do with all of the muddy/snowy shoes and boots that everyone just throws in a big ole' pile when they come in the door?"

For one thing, it is a HUGE eyesore. For another, it leaves a big mess on the floor. HELP!

So far so good...

So I exercised 4 days in a row, WOOP! Today is my day off (Sunday) YAY!

So today was my first Sunday as 1st counselor in the Primary Presidency, and our first Sunday going to church in the early slot. Both turned out better than I thought.

First of all it wasn't too bad conducting primary. (I've done it before. I was also 1st C. in the PP years ago.) I don't know why I get so nervous, but I do. I know it will pass with time.

Secondly, church seemed to go by alot faster today than usual. So if that is a result of the time change, then..I LIKE IT!

I am proud of myself for doing something physical everyday (well 6 days a week) and this next week I am adding eating a little better too. PLUS I am going to pray at least EVERY NIGHT. Something that I haven't been in habit of in years sadly.

Here's to improving me! On the inside and the outside.

Ok another show I'm a little embarrassed to say I watch...

So this show is called "Crowned, The Mother of all Pageants".

"Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants" explores one of life's most emotional and volatile relationships as mothers and daughters from all walks of life compete together -- and against other mother/daughter teams -- in order to win a no-holds-barred beauty pageant"

I have to say it can get pretty nasty, or I guess I should say the Women/Girls can get nasty towards one another, even mothers and daughters get not so nice with each other. I guess I must have been bored on a Wednesday night..lol

My favorite teams that haven't been "de-sashed" are Moya and Jenileigh, and Gina and Hollis. Some of the others aren't too bad but I can't stand Angela and Tenia. They are both evil and mean. Also there is something about Laura and Patty that gets on my nerves. Maybe it is there bizarre smiles?

I can't stand ANY of the Judges either.

Anyways, I am caught up in it now and I have my DVR set to record the remaining episodes.

I am also looking forward to Rock of Love 2. Set to start Sunday the 13th on VH1. Can't get enought of Bret. Yum.

How country folk snow sled....

The Recital.....

Tyleigh and Baylee before the recital started. Tyleigh is in her "Mr. Grinch" outfit....LOL

The 50th Day.....

Today was the 50th day of the school year so the kids dressed up in 50's attire. This is the best I could do on less than 1/2 a days notice.
Dallin was a party pooper and did not want to dress up like The Fonz no matter how much I begged. Rotten kid. ;)

Lifetouch sucks......

I forgot to "pick a pose" for Baylee so they picked for me. Is this really the best position for a little girl in a dress, with her knees to her chest? *rolling my eyes* The photographer may have had a nice view of her underwear. And they never wait for a descent smile.


Dallins isn't too bad.

Why do I order them at all then you ask?
So that the kids can have a class picture. You cannot order just a class picture. It is "free" *rme again* with any portrait package.

Gee, how generous.

Another Undefeated Season....

So proud of my boy....But sad that the season is over.

We attended a BSU football game on Saturday. It was the boys' first college game and they had an absolute blast.
