New President

Well I tried watching the inaguration a week ago and it was hard. I was even crying and it takes a lot for me to cry. I think I was mourning tradition. O'Bama is doing things different than we are used to. I think he is going to bring change but I am not quite sure if it is the change we need or want. The world is changing and the world that we grew up in no longer exists. I think the inaguration made me realize this. But I am going to try to keep an open mind with O'Bama. I am going to listen very carefully to what President Monson has to say and what guidance he has for us for these next 4 yrs. At least you know you can trust Monson!! And I am not racist but if you really think about it. O'Bama really isnt the first african american president, he is half white.

The New Year

Well the new year has certainly brought some surprises. I ended up losing a good amount of weight without even noticing it. So I have decided to keep it up by exersicing everyday. Whether its jogging to Rylee's bus, running with the kids to the playground at their school or I have resistant bands that are attached to handles that give you a good burn. Also I found out that at 5 am and 10 am the BYU channel does a total body work out. Everyday its a little different so it confuses your body. Today I did yoga and I am familiar with yoga and never have sweated with it but this lady is good. I came out of it sweaty and feeling good and warm all over. Plus it helped with anxiety! I love it! This has made me feel so much better everyday!

Christmas Adventures

This is a video of Connor and Rylee's school holiday parties, our nephew A.J. came into town with his wife and son before he has to go to Bagdad and our Nieces: Kaysi, McKensie and Kassidy performed at the temple lights and our Christmas.

Our First Time At Build-A-Bear!

Grandma Urrutia sent us gift cards to build-a-bear. The kids had a blast because they had never been before. Rylee of course we all read to accessorize her bear which we didn't have enough for. She still says her doggy needs shoes. She named her doggy Sleeping Beauty and bought a sleepy beauty dress for her. Connor got a Koala and dressed it up as a nascar driver and named him Jimmie Johnson.

St. Lucia Fest

Ok so I have been behind in putting up pictures from this past year hoilday adventures. It I am still trying to settle in from moving and doing Christmas at the same time. So I have a lot to post!
