A Shout Out!

This is a Shout Out to Paige and Caddie. They both work with me at the lodge. They have helped me out a lot the past couple weeks, and I want them to know how much I appreciate them. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! They probably already know this already, but they are 2 of Shea's most favorite people. We love you guys!

Paige and Shea

Caddie and Shea

Yesterday, Caddie decided to give Shea a new hairstyle!

Shea, chillin, and watching....

does it really matter, MOM! Leave me and my tube alone!

Ready to GO!

I just wanted to share some picture of Shea. The past couple nights she has really gotten into dressing up. She loves to put on mom and dad's shirts and shoes.


Last night, she decided she wanted to go outside. So she put on her hat and mom's snow boots (because it has been snowing all day), and of course she can't go anywhere without her purse. Luckily I snapped a picture before she was able to get away! I think she forgot her pants! A side note: She has been doing really good with potty training.

Master Cleanse!

Well, as I thought. I haven't been doing very well with my New Year's Resolution. I did it for about 3 days. I felt fine, but I was really stressed. My boss had a family emergency and had to go to Salt Lake City for at least 2 weeks. I have been working extra hard trying to hold things together! ha ha. A lot of DRAMA! Well, besides the girls at work, I have been putting together a presentation for Yellowstone Teton Territories. This is an organization that focuses on Easter Idaho Tourism. Bob (the owner) and I are going to Rexburg to present it today! And on top of that, I had a sore throat! The cayenne pepper and lemon juice didn't feel all that great going down! Well, that is my excuse. The girls at work and I all decided to do it in March, when not much is going on and work is slow. YEAH, RIGHT. We will see if it happens! ha ha. Also, I really am curious to how much weight I will lose and I didn't weight myself before. Not that I am doing this cleanse for weight lose! It is suppose to give you increased energy, and make your body more healthy. The weight lose is a BONUS!

Rexburge Temple

My dad was able to make a special part for the Rexburg Temple. He made this brass piece that is located on the stair railings. I remember holding one of them in his shop, and they were extremely heavy! It is really cool to see the finished product and all put together. Just wanted to share it with everyone. Here is a picture taken inside the temple!

A New Year!

Wow, 2007 is over! It feels like I blink, and it flew by. Now it is time for a NEW YEAR RESOLUTION! I'm not really good with resolutions, so I don't really make any. But this year is different. It's small, but something. I am going to do a MASTER CLEANSE! It will be hard for me, but with the support of the girls at work. I think I can do it. Three girls at work are going to be my support and do it with me. (Thanks Chelsi, Caddie and Jami!) For those of you who doesn't know what this entails. You have to drink salt water in the morning, drink this lemonade mixture though out the day, then take herbal laxative tea at night. All this for 10 or more days. If all 4 of us have to work together on the same day, then there will be a problem. I call the bathroom first!! This is suppose to cleanse your colon and digestive system the natural and healthy way. I know this doesn't seem like much, but you should always take baby steps before jumping into the race!

What a Christmas!

This Christmas is definitely going to be a memorable one. We waited to put the Christmas presents under the tree until Christmas Eve. Because Shea is a sneak. Let me first start out by saying that Wayne and I bought her a slide for Christmas. We were looking forward to seeing her on Christmas morning. She is absolutely in love with slides. I also want to mention that when Shea wakes up in the morning the first thing she does is wake up mom and dad. Well, around 7:30 am, Shea jumps into our bed. Wayne and I both look at her and say CRAP. Her face is covered with make-up. So of course, I jump up to see what kind of damage was done to my make-up. I walk out of our bedroom and notice that all the lights are on. I turned the corner and to my amazement, the floor is covered with wrapping paper. Shea had opened all of the presents! She runs to into the room yelling "SLIDE SLIDE, WATCH!" It was obvious that she had been awake for quite a while. She definitely is my child. We sure did have a great Christmas being together, sledding, and even talking to my brother who is on his mission in Florida!

I also want to say CONGRATULATION to the Maddock family, on Kaidence's new heart. That is such a great gift for Christmas. She is the cutest little girl ever. If you want to go to her blog it is at http://www.4mykaidence.blogspot.com/!

POTTY Times

Wow, I can't believe how fast Shea is growing. She is starting to use the POTTY. The other day she went twice. I been having her wear panties for about an hour a day, and am constantly asking her if she needs to go. I didn't want to push potty training very soon, but she is so independent. She wanted to start using it all by herself. She isn't even 2 yet, so I am going to take my time with it. We finally got our Tahoe back from the shop. At first they thought it was a transmission problem, then an engine problem. Well, it turned out to be an exhaust problem. So it is all fixed. Wayne was pretty excited to get his baby back! (I forgot my digital camera in Utah, so as soon as I get it back I will post some pictures.)
