ill be home for christmas

yep we got to go to texas for christmas and it was marvelous!! I'm not going to play it down... we opened presents on christmas eve which i like doing a lot and we got everything we asked for and more! (but we didn't ask for every thing lol.) i don't think i've ever got everything on my list (which is a good thing lol). we are sure lucky and sure blessed to have such great parents and inlaws. Although i think abby is taking for granted how spoiled she is haha. she sure is one lucky baby!

Everyone keeps asking me what we did in texas? and it was actually a whole lot of nothing-- what i love best! just sitting around and playing games and hanging out... we played the wii, and  a lot of catch phrase among all of the other games everyone got for christmas, and hung out with friends in the ward, and we made A LOT of goodies, my favorite being a toss up between truffles and nija bread men.

Everyone came to my parents' house for christmas for the first time since i was 17 so basically it was amazing!

sleep is the issue

lately tyson and i have both had major PROBLEMS SLEEPING, and so we are always tired and grumpy. between us and abby, there is usually only one of us sleeping during the night. maybe this has something to do with us not having a job or a home (of our own) or any money,....or maybe it's because we need more exercise.

SO we got 2 workout dvd's that my sister in law katie showed us over christmas break. we like them, well we've only tried one so far, but we like it and we like the Biggest Loser. we are both skinny, but just because you're skinny doesn't mean you're in shape or have energy. don't worry, we're both healthy i just thought this cartoon was funny.

AND i got a job. i am now the gym teacher/coach/pe prep specialist..... at an elementary school in Bountiful. it's only 12 hours a week so it's just great and doesn't bother the breast feeding schedule lol. I like it so far. I am amazed at how happy the children are k-6th grade....o to be a child again. haha. there's only one class of about 20 kids at a time, so it's easy to control.... i just need to think of some good ideas. so far we've done crab soccer and safari (sharks and minows).  

for the love of crafting...

i've been waiting a while to make this post because i gave a lot of these as christmas presents... here's what mostly me and a few friends have been up to...
