Here's the lowdown:

Tuesday I went to WW's (-26.5 lbs) and YW's (personal progress - need I say more)
Wednesday was SSDD
Thursday I went to lunch with some friends Mareah, Tracy, Candice and some of our kids. We went to Dairy Keen in Heber (the train place) all I can say is that Stratton was in heaven. He loved every minute of it and as always I forgot my camera.
Friday of course card day! I couldn't do jack! I'm getting tired of getting spanked (thanks mom & Shel)!
Missy and I went up here to the Kamas Theater and watched "Over My Dead Body" It was alright there were some pretty funny parts.

Until next time: sign off

Bunko Prep!

I am getting all prep'd for Bunko tommorow night. Yes, it is at my house. We will be eating potato soup, rolls, layered salad and for dessert turnovers (apple & cherry) I love Bunko especially when it's not at my house! I will be happy to get it over with for the year. I do not care to be the "hostess" of anything.

MAKEUP!

So Ryan blew the Anniversary/Valentine's Day hopefully he has learned for the years to come. I almost wonder if he does things like that on purpose just for the MAKEUP part. I wont go into details to save you all the disgusting image but let's just say it was pretty dang good! On Saturday we took the kids to the Utes 100 years of basketball game with g & g Stevens. We were able to ride TRAX for the first time. Stratton was in 7th heaven riding the "choo choo train." Then Ryan & I were able to go out w/out the kids. Ryan wanted to take me on a carriage ride for good old times but I decided against it. It was too cold. So we ended up going to the Gateway for dinner & a movie. The only problem was there wasn't really a movie that we wanted to see. We went to McGrath's for dinner. It was pretty good. I haven't been eating too much lately because I haven't been able to taste things which has actually been good. Why eat it if you can't taste it? Right?
It was my turn to teach YW's again today. It was alright. Those girls sure do make me sweat!
I just have to say I love my calling! It doesn't get any better than this and coming from me that says a lot.

Happy Valentines/12 yr. Anniversary

Happy Valentines/12 yr. Anniversary! I can't believe it's been 12 years it seems longer. j/k It's a good thing I have "short memory loss" and Ryan has "go in one ear and out the other ear syndrome" that's our secret. Yes, I am still sick, so we're supposedly going out tommorow night (we'll see.) I got up and made Ryan breakfast in bed, the "12" reasons I love him sign & a gave him a card. The kids had great Valentine parties at school! Just for your curiosity, I have not received anything yet. Ryan isn't home from work yet, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Okay I am, but I shouldn't. I don't understand why he chose Valentines day to get married because: flowers are too expensive, restraunts are too busy. I thought it was 2 in 1 sort of thing but it's not working out that way. I hope everyone else had a Happy Valentine's Day that included a gift.
(P.S. I'll keep you posted)

sick again!

I am sick again! I thought I had strep throat again because of how I felt yesterday, so I went to the Dr. and negative. They even did a test for influenza and negative. I wish it would have been something, so they could have given me some magical medicine. I had Brayden's PTC at 4 p.m. which Ryan luckily went to (that's a first.) He also took the boys to Heber with him so I could get some zzz's. I had to miss WW's, YW's etc. Today I keep whispering and the kids look at me like (we're not in church) but it hurts to talk. My voice is all raspy and almost gone. I had to go to PTC today for Ryanna even though I didn't feel up to it. Brayden didn't have any school today and Ryanna got out at 12. I am ready for a break from these kids. But I don't feel up to working out tonight even though I should.

Shawna

Shawna is my workout instructor. She is also a personal trainer. She lost 70 lbs. 4 years ago at WW. She is always complaining how small her boobs are and that she would like a boob job. I don't know why she doesn't/hasn't gotten one because they have a lot of money. Last night during my class she was again complaining about her small boobs. I said "if you rub toilet paper on them they get bigger" she stopped what she was doing and said "really" then I said "well it worked on my butt!" She was laughing so hard, she had never heard that one before. She said "Dang, I was going to go home & start rubbing TP on them." (Yes she is blonde, also)

Shelby's house

I have listened to Stratton all day say "go Shelby's house day" I've told him Shelby's not home today. "go Shelby's house day" I finally got so tired of hearing him say that, that I put him down for a nap at 11 a.m. and when he woke up guess what he said? "Go Shelby's house day."

G.N.O.

So Ryanna and I had a girls night out tonight. We went to Hannah Montana's 3-D concert, then to Cafe Rio and our last stop was McDonald's for a hot fudge sundae. Ryanna said "we should do this more often I like hanging out with my mom" I think it's good for her to see the other side of me (nice) instead of the mean mom.
