Sooo...5 random things about me....

#1-......I love to run....when I was younger in gym class I loved the dreaded mile....I would sometimes ask the teacher if I could go run rather than play games...I love to feel the wild galloping of my heart....As I run I am free, my mind clear. I love the burn and the stiffness afterward.... the sweat as it prickles my brow....the high of achievement of running faster than the time before...its in these moments I feel one with myself.

#2-......I love to look for a great deal....which leads me to Yard Sales and the D.I. they are my favorite....I love getting up early on a cool Saturday mornings with coins in my pocket ready to find the treasure I've always wanted....When ever I have been on vacation whither it is in Jackson Hole, or in St. George Saturday mornings are reserved for Yard Sales and a trip to the the D.I..... Of course it wouldn't be any fun if it weren't shared with the ones I love...it is so much fun being with my mom and sisters.... as we dash out of the car to get our hands on the best find....before the other can...(we all have the same good taste which leads to some friendly competition)...the best part of all you pay cents for things that are PRICELESS!!

#3-......I love to play games....since I can remember I have loved going over to my Grandma Richards house to play card and board games....Grandma always wins and Grandpa always keeps the score...I just enjoy loosing and spending time with them...Some of my favorite games are Rummie Cube, Spinner, Hand and Foot.... what good memories!

#4-......I love Ice Cream...when I was in High School I had the perfect job....I worked at Charlies Ice Cream....I am proud to say that I ate Ice Cream every day for 3 and a half years...It is still my favorite...my ice cold treat makes my heart skip a beat! mmmmm......Some of my favorite hand dipped flavors were Chocolate Peanut Buttercup with peanut butter drizzled over the top, Chocolate, Raspberry Cheese Cake, Butter Pecan, Carmel Cashew, Rockey Road, Bubble Gum and Prailens & Carmel....my favorite shakes were Peanut Butter Oreo, German Chocolate, Strawberry Short Cake, Reeses PBC, Pumpkin pie, Banana Creme, Raspberry and Chocolate Chocolate Chip!

#5-......I love my satin pillow and my soft bed...and blanket! I love to go to sleep at night and I love naps in the day time...I can be out and in dreamland in 20 sec flat! I love the feeling right before drifting off to sleep...(Its kind of like floating or flying and your whole body goes tingly)...mmmm Sleep!

Happy Holidays, Andres is almost 3 1/2 months-

Wow the time is sure flying it feels like it was just Halloween, Thanksgiving has come and gone, before we know it Christmas will be here. My good friend Julie had an extra Christmas tree so she gave it to us (what a sweet heart). I got it put up on the first of December it looks great and Andres loves it. He loves to sit under it, stare at the lights a listen the this Christmas music box the we got as a wedding gift. He is so vocal now he coos, gaaas and giggles a ton!

We went to the temple last Thursday with my cousin Jordan. He just got his mission call to Zimbabwe Africa. He is really excited, I would be to, how fun! He leaves on March 20th if he gets his visa. It was really good to go to the temple and feel the spirit. I really have missed going that was the first time we have went since the baby was born. Grandma and Grandpa watched him for a couple of hours up to their house. It was the first time I have left Andres, it was kind of hard. I was ready to see him when we were through. He sure had a lot of fun! He was sleeping with grandma on the couch when we got there.

We went up to Grandmas and Grandpas to help put up the tree. Aunt Jami has a lot of beautiful decorations so it was fun to decorate different this year. The tree looks like a white jewel with its gorgeous glittering snow flakes and clear and white balls. Andres had a lot of fun when grandpa got home and let him slobber on one of the glass balls. Grandpa would hold it up to his lips and he would just lick away it was quite fascinating to Andres. Jami put this awesome Christmas village that she has hand painted nestled up under the tree. It was so much fun spending the afternoon together it has been too long. I am so glad we have her home for Christmas and get to see her during the holiday season not just for the few short hours on Christmas eve and day.

Exercise, How Fun!

Yesterday my friend Leeanne and I went to the Sports Academy to exercise (We went one day last week also) it was so much fun...I am sooo out of shape! I have been really struggling with the baby-blues since Andres was born my hormones have been all screwed up. So I am hoping that exercise and vitamins will help. We jogged on the cardio machines for 20 minutes and then did some weight lifting. It felt great, but I got really stiff! I figure, since it is the first few times I have exercised since baby Andres was born it will get easier....and going with Leeanne is a great motivator. Its also good for the guys to have some one on one time with the little kids. Andres had a lot of fun with his daddy...and he was sure ready to eat when I got home...( It feels good to be missed!)
