Mmmm....Pie!

Last night we celebrated my Dad's birthday! We went to the Pie Pizzeria, and it was DEEEELISH! I love going there for their pizza, but also for their decorations. I always forget to bring a paint pen with me though...Hmmm... maybe I will put one in my purse for just in case times.

This is the wall that we sat by, that's my handsome husband Fuzz

I thought it was cool that poeple even wrote on the lamp shade over our table!

I'm not sure which pizza that my parents picked out, but it was amazing! It had two kinds of sausage, canadian bacon, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and ofcourse TONS of cheese! I tried to just eat the toppings, but I caved and totally ate the whole slice...I may or may not have inhaled another shortly after :)

Doesn't that look awesome?

Then while we were eating we all just talked, however, my handsome little monster made casual conversation pretty difficult. We were out past his bedtime which is normally 7. So he wasn't a happy camper and was content to scream at the top of his lungs. I felt so bad for everyone at the table, and at all the other tables! We basically ended up dining and dashing. That made me feel bad, because it was Bob's birthday! I wish we could have stayed longer. Good thing my parents recently moved closer, so we can see them more often!

Trying to distract the little monster

The things cute kids get away with....

Grandpa was trying to help distract him as well... it worked for a minimum of 10 seconds.

If you haven't tried the Pie and you live in Utah then I definitely suggest it! They have several locations, and all of them I have been to have been great!

New Year, New List

So I kept saying that I would post about my New Years resolutions... It seems some people have a serious aversion to "New Years Resolutions" I don't know why. Maybe it's cause people tend to make un attainable goals. Mine may or may not seem unattainable to some. I think we can do whatever we put our minds to. I do think however that those things take alot of effort. You can't just think about your goals, you have to take action!

So I already kinda said one of them... I want to work on my blog more often. I think it's fun to post stuff (especially pictures, cause those are my favorite parts about others blogs) I am also excited to make a book of my blog! Not that I will actually do that, but it would be cool. It's a fast and fun way to keep a "diary" and one day show my kids :)

Another goal is to be more active. Kinda a broad goal, but totally attainable. I feel like lately I have only wanted to go home, put on some PJ's, and totally veg out on our beautiful new couches! While the couches are getting the love they deserve, my health isn't. My parents bought us the kinect and that has helped a little. We also have a pass to the local rock climbing place, and I want to go more often! I love rock climbing. There is something sooooo rewarding when you reach the top of the wall :) At my rock climbing place they also have yoga! I have wanted to get into yoga (on a daily basis) for so long now. It's so refreshing to just stop all of your thoughts, and breathe.

This is our beautiful new couch <3

The last is a pretty darn annoying habit I have been trying to control lately. Night time snacking bingeing. It makes me sick that I can't control it! I won't bore you with the details...but it's something I want to work on. Maybe I will replace food with water? haha replacing one bad habit with another? I guess water is better than a million calories from my "healthy muffins" Or maybe I should eat more veggies like this little dude!

You can't see the veggies here, but if there is one thing we can count on him ACTUALLY eating it's broccoli! Crazy huh?

If I can kick that habit, and go on more hikes then maybe I will lose the weight I keep obsessing over. Better yet, maybe I will learn to just love myself and body in all it's glory! Either way hikes like this one will keep reminding me how much I love my life and family!

So there ya have it. My resolutions...

What are some of your resolutions?

Stocking Stuffing!

So a big fail to us for not using our camera to take pictures of Christmas morning! Der. I will have to ask my Mom to send those to me...she got plenty. One thing that I did do however was take pictures of the stockings making adventure Fuzz and I embarked on!

Right around the time I had Dange I was starting to dabble in sewing. My amazing hubby bought me a sewing machine for Christmas and I was wanting to make diaper bags. Well, much like my mother I got all excited and started buying as much fabric as possible. That's easy, but using it up is not. Well now I have a HUGE LOAD of fabrics, and I thought it would be fun to finally use them to make our stockings.

Stockings were like the last Christmas-y thing we did. We had our Christmas tree up within one week after Thanksgiving (Go us!) I just didn't know where our stockings were... I guess that part of that is due to the fact that we bought all of the Christmas decorations on Black Friday. So we probably have 2 different decoration boxes stored in the storage. Either way it happened I am glad it did!

I didn't get great photos of the fabric... fail.

I love my cute pins!

He's a natural at everything he tries.

That's the lining for Danger's stocking

Fuzzy's turned out way better than mine... Telling ya. Natural.

Love my pins man!

That is me...

One of the New Years resolutions that I made for myself was to start seriously blogging. I think it's great fun, and I love taking pictures.  I am extremely inspired by other blogs I read, and I want in!

People Read My Blog!

11 is my favorite number in the world, so naturally this is going to be a great year.

I am however sorta worried about the 2012 end of the world situation. Am I the only one? I recently read a really good book called "The Shack" and it made me feel better about death. Actually I lied, I've been avoiding reading the last 20 pages or so because the book is so damn good! I just don't want it to end. I however, will spare you the details. I have a bad tendency to just blab all the details. My husband is good at pointing this out.

Our New Years was pretty good! We spent it with my brother Jason and his wife Amy, and also our friends Josh and Jackie. We had a pretty good night! I don't have any pictures of it though because I have been failing at charging up my camera(that's a New Years resolution to be explained later). My parents were out of town to see my grandparents in California, and they didn't feel comfortable with leaving Barron (cutest white/yellow lab ever!) at a kennel. So I offered to watch their house. It sorta turned into Fuzzmeister watching their house though. My bad.

Thought I would include a pic of the best hubby ever. (He did that for halloween in case you were wondering what is wrong with his head)

Friday Josh and Jackie showed up kinda early, which was totally awesome! We sorta just drove around town for while... Played kinect (Thanks Mom!) and ate too much Taco Bell. Once Dangermania went to sleep we finally got to play games and start drinking. Woooooo! By then Jas and Amy had arrived, and the first thing I made was a Bacardi peach rum mixed with Fresca. If you like gummy peach rings, then you will definitely like this drink! Then we played games, the first was mexican train. It's not my most favorite game, but it was good. Then the next game we played IS my favorite. Pictionary Man! It's even better though when you've been drinking through the game of mexican train! haha... I think the girls kicked the boys trash though!

Then I started to feel too drunk...You know when you have to keep one eye closed to see better? That's when I knew it was time to start drinking water. Which I did. At some point we all went to bed. The rest of the night (or morning?) sucked for me. My little man didn't sleep well at all once we got to the bedroom for sleep. He just doesn't do well when we are in weird houses, and he isn't in his own crib. Those pack n plays are great, but they are nothing like a real crib. So anyway... I was up from 2 until morning pretty much. I sorta slept. I just think I'm lucky that I drank that water! Cause I wasn't drunk at all by the time we went to bed. I was also able to help my baby get back to sleep, and clean my parents house in the morning. Thanks to everyone for helping me as well! 

After we finally got everything clean we went out to Denny's for breakfast. It was pretty delicious! 

I will write another post tomorrow about New Years resolutions that I made. Here are some random pictures that I actually got uploaded to my computer... 

Danger mania loves his Bath Time!

I love pics with my goobs, he's just as weird as me!

Costco!

This is what I call "Cheez Bucket"

I actually plan on doing 2 posts today! I will include a small snippet of my New Years resolution :)

Day dreamin.........

Here's a few of my consistent thoughts ... I think about them every couple of hours.

I want to get into compliance.

I previously worked for MonaVie, which is an MLM company that sells an acai berry juice. I did customer service for them for over 2 1/2 years. It was a great job at first, and I enjoyed working there. Then things started to change. I kept applying for the jobs I knew I would be GREAT at, and also that would pay more. Isn't that what we all want? More money? So anyway, needless to say I never got any higher than customer support. However, during my endeavors I came to learn alot about what is involved with compliance. I want that job! I know from the top of my head to the tips of my toes that I would be fantastic at that job! I just know it! So that is my goal here at my new place of business, Asea.

Asea is the best company I have ever worked for, and it's funny because prior to working here I thought that MonaVie was the best. What I love about working for Asea the most is that there are only 8 of us right now in Customer Support. That is major! I mean major in the sense that I can work my way up as the company grows, and what better time than now to really make myself shine!? So there it is.

Goal#1 GET INTO COMPLIANCE.

I want to be TONED.

Oh geez...I am constantly thinking about my weight/body. I want to be thin and toned like I can't even explain. It's my obsession. My husband and I are doing p90x right now, and I love it. I just obsess about food way too much. I am definitely way better than I used to be. It's still a major problem. I am always worried about eating too much/too little. I feel like for the most part I eat really well, but the weight isn't coming off. I have this vision of just being toned and tiny. I don't think it's far fetched, and I don't believe it's unhealthy. It's kinda hard to get people to understand, because they don't have the same mentality. In other words I don't have anyone to talk to about it. My husband is extremely helpful because he actually keeps me motivated, and I love spending one hour with him everyday just working out and gettin all sweaty (there are other ways for this to be acheived) haha.

So my goal right now is to do 180 days of p90x and see where it takes me. I want to relax on this journey. I mean that by not being obsessed about food, not doing it in an unhealthy way, accepting the 1 hr long workout every single day, loving myself.

Loving myself.

Hmm... that's so pretty looking. Really hard though. I love myself more than I did 12 months ago after I had my baby, but I don't love myself like I did 18 months ago when I had a pre-baby body. That's a lie actually...it was a post baby/pre-baby body. Brynley didn't do much damage to my body though, and I hadn't ever really tried to lose weight until after I had her.

Goal#2 Get Toned.

I love my life because...

Because I married my best friend!

We made the happiest kid together!



Our son never fails to make me smile

Our son keeps us on our toes!

There are lots and lots and lots of other reasons for me to be happy, but I am just trying to find reasons to post pictures of our little Danger-mania! He's just the cutest, so who could blame me!? 





My papa-less weekend!

            This past weekend I was lucky enough to take care of little Danger-mania all by myself! Fuzz was gone on a trip to Vegas with our friend Josh. For the most part I absolutely loved it being just me and Dange. There were a few times that I wanted to pull my hair out, like while I was trying to put away the dishes and Dange kept trying to grab the knives! I also bought a toilet paper stick (you keep extra rolls on it for your bathroom) from Ikea, and he kept hauling it around the house, which caused the brand new rolls to unravel. That was frustrating. All in all though I just adore him!

 Friday night I got off work at 5:00 and I had to head straight to Pleasant Grove to pick him up from his G-parents house. The traffic was bad on the way there, and then also on the way back! He was so cute when I got there to get him. It just seemed like he had a great day with his Grandpa Scott! I couldn't stay long because I had plans for dinner with my friend Jessica. Well, I wasn't able to call her and tell her about the traffic I was stuck in due to Fuzzy taking my freakin charger out of my car! Boooooo to that! So I was relying on the fact that I gave her an estimate of me being available for dinner around 7 pm. I barely made it to her house on time! I was hoping I would be able to stop at home and get dressed in comfy clothes (I have to dress super nice for work) but I didn't want her to think I was flaking out, so I just went straight to her house. When I got there Jess was all dressed up and cute (which is a big deal cause she has a newborn!) We had a great time at Zupas, and Dange was surprisingly well behaved!

He didn't sleep well Friday night, probably due to the sugar high from the chocolate strawberries I gave him at dinner! Plus, he is used to going to bed around 7:30, but we didn't get home until 8:30...I didn't sleep well either. I am used to having my husband by my side, and he wasn't this time. I pretty much just tried to watch tv until my eyes hurt so bad I had to close them.

Saturday was pretty productive! I had this huge plan to do all of this cleaning while Fuzzy was gone. I didn't exactly finish, but I certainly gave it my best shot. I woke up with Dange around 6:30, and we hung out for a while until it was his first nappy time. While he was napping I started a few loads of laundry, and then I also tried to clean the kitchen. I pretty much only got the cupboards washed off with a magic eraser. HOLY AMAZING! I loooooove magic erasers! My fridge has never looked to stinking white! :) After Dange got up from his first nap I got him all ready so we could go hang out with Dani and Brynn at Hobby Lobby. I got my parents these cute ornaments for their christmas tree (my mom has this tradition and I wanted to contribute) Then we came home, and I watched TV for a while. Around 1 Dange took his second nap, and that is when I got most of my cleaning done! I mean he slept super good! I even went upstairs to check on him because I kept expecting him to wake up... That's when I took these pics :) He just melts my heart!



Saturday night I had to work for 4 hours, so my sweet brother came to babysit for me. I don't know what I would have done without his help. To repay him Dange and I went to Artic Circle to buy him his favorite dinner just before he arrived. The stupid lady at Artic Circle gave me two shakes instead of one. I asked her for an Orea Berry shake... I got an orea and a berry shake! Oh well, I didn't have time to argue... Jas was so sweet to hurry super fast to make it to my house so that I could be to work right at 6! It was a tight squeeze, and I actually ended up clocking in late because I couldnt' find out how to get into the building on the weekend! Apparently they forgot to make me a key to get in! I have one now though :)

When I got home on Saturday night, Jas and I just talked and talked for like 2 hours! It was really nice. I love talking to my brother. He's really smart, and a conversation is always interesting. Especially when we get talking about religion. I know that's weird, but I love talking about it with my brother. We are kinda on the same page about it, and so it's interesting to hear what his thoughts/beliefs are. Then finally around like 1 in the morning, his poor wife Amy called wondering where he was! I felt bad for keeping him so long! So he had to leave... Then of course it was time for me to "go to bed" but I couldn't sleep! I really am not used to sleeping alone. So I stayed awake and watched TV. Then my friend Dani started drunk texting me, and I didn't mind cause I was lonely... So around 2 I got hungry, and made myself a bowl of unshelled peanuts (probably my most favorite snack) ... once I downed that I was getting kinda tired. So I went to sleep...

Sunday morning Dange woke up at 7:30 (which is really like 8:30 cause of the time change) So we got up and got going! I got all showered, and also cleaned the shower with the magic eraser! Fun! Dange just hung out in the bathroom while I took a shower... Then I called my friend Dani to see if she wanted to go to Ikea with me. She loves it there, so she was totally down! I think we there for 2 hours!  I for real love Ikea...I also love their cafe. I got Dange a little kids meal with meatballs, mac cheese, and brocolli...Go figure that the only thing he would eat was the brocolli! When we came home I put up all the stuff I got at Ikea for the bathroom while Dange took his nap. Then we didn't do much until he went to bed. I called Fuzz around 5:30 to see when he would be home, and he said it would be 2 1/2 hours. Well, we do p90x together, but I didn't want to wait until he got back before starting that days workout. So as soon as Dange went to sleep, I started it. Then when I was done I took a picture of what I looked like! Haha... I thought it was a funny picture! I took it though because I felt like I worked my butt off! I think I worked so hard because I wasn't afraid of my husband watching me. I plan on working harder from now on though! So here is my funny workout pic :)  

All in all it was a great weekend! I am sure glad Fuzz is back... I missed him alot!
