I got my camera back........oh but wait

Yeah so I got my camera back last week, with the company telling me its all better and fixed. I turned it on, took 3 pictures, went to turn it off, and the lens won't go back in!!!! I thought it was fixed!!! Stupid camera fixing company! Stupid liars! I'm going to San Diego in a month and my camera isn't working. This is the 2nd time I've had them fix it (supposedly). Someone is going to get an earful, when I call and yell at them! And they better send me a brand new camera, I've only had this one since June 2008. So yeah, you still won't be seeing any pictures, at least for awhile. Dangit!

Jon's MS 150

Hey, it's Jon. I thought I'd hijack the blog for 2 seconds to let everybody know I'm riding in the MS 150 again this year. For those who don't know, he MS 150 is a 150 mile bike ride in No. Utah/ So. Idaho to support Multiple Sclerosis research. I've done it many years in the past and hate every second of it...until I cross the finish line and see hundreds of volunteers and people afflicted with MS cheer me on. The feeling is amazing. Anyway...this year I've decided to ask everybody I know to help me raise money for this cause. I know the economy is 'teh sux' right now, but if you could help me out with this, I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much!!!

-Jon

BTW: if anybody wants to ride on my team, open registration is on now (and I even have a free registration code). It's an amazing workout and the MS foundation really takes great care of you. If you can't do the full 150 miles, there are options for beginners to start out at only 45 miles. They feed you every meal, and the night before the ride my team (Team Harmons) has their head chef make a gourmet meal with salmon, chicken, pork and other amazing dishes. Let me know if you can come play with me!

Here is the link to my personal registration page where you can donate or even sign up to ride on my team: MS 150

I Did It!

I finally registered for the Ogden Half Marathon. It is like 13.2 miles I think. Everyone wish me good luck, I'll need it! I am so excited, I just hope I can finish before I collapse!

My Makeup

My makeup came last night! I love everything so far except I messed up on the tone of the foundation and powder. They are too dark, so I'll have to reorder the correct ones next time. If you do decide to do an order and your complexion is close to mine, get tone #1 not #2. It looks a lot lighter online than it really is. Even on my tannest day, it would still be too dark.

Bye-Bye camera......Hello exhaustion

Jon has sent my camera off to be fixed, again. Hopefully it won't be gone too long, but I thought I'd let ya know there won't be any pics for awhile.
So today was quite a day. First we decided we wanted to be outside the house, because it was sunny and I can't remember the last time I was actually outside when it was sunny. We just wanted to go shopping and look around. So first we went to Lowe's, then Roberts, then McDonalds, then Hobby Lobby, then Layton Hills Mall, then Taipan, then we decided that we weren't done yet. So we drove all the way down to Ikea. I am Soooooooooooooo exhausted now. It feels like I haven't slept in 2 days. The boys were such troopers. They barely complained and had no naps to boot. And if you can believe it we only spent like $40 all day! I don't recommend doing that much in one day, I never will again. Goodnight.

E.L.F.

I don't know if any of you have heard of this website, but it is amazing! Its eyeslipsface.com and its a makeup website, where most makeup is only a dollar! And its not crappy makeup either. It's been advertised on Oprah, and I think, has won best product of the year by Glamour magazine. I just placed my first order last night, so when I actually get it I will let you know how it is. They also have makeup tips and tell you exactly where and how to apply each product. You should defitinely check it out. And if you place an order and refer 3 friends, you get a free gift. And use coupon code ecpickz and shipping is only $5! Here is a list of what I bought, so you can see what a great deal it is.

5 eyeshadow compacts (each have 4 different colors in them)
3 eyeliners
2 blushes
5 lipglosses
2 foundations
1 bronzer
2 powders
2 new application brushes
oil pad removers
1 eye primer
1 eye lightner/widener
4 powder puffs
3 nail polishes

I think thats it and I only spent $42.00! Oh plus shipping so $47.00 total. I don't know about you but I think that's a pretty dang good deal.

Sledding!

Today we went sledding. It was Owen's first time and he loved it. It was a great day to go, cause it was not very busy. We had a lot of fun and my brother and his family showed up too, so we had a really great time. We will definitely be doing that again. Both my boys are such dare devils. Aiden especially, he was going down on his belly, front and back, spinning down the hill, and other ways too. I think he was destined for a career in extreme sports.


These were taken right before we left. Owen was not too excited about having to put snow pants and boots on. That kid likes to have the least amount of clothes on as possible. Aiden as you can see was very excited. He's such a clown!

Our little engineer

Grandma Carlene has a train set up around her Christmas tree, and Owen absolutely loves it! He sits there for hours and runs that train. And he doesn't mind the hat either, which is so adorable.

Crib playdate

Owen has this thing where when he wakes up he doesn't like getting out of his crib. Well, one morning we went into his room and found this. Aiden had climbed in to play with him, after putting in a few toys to play with. He is such a good big brother.

Twilight Midnight Madness

So I downloaded pics from my camera and this is how far behind I am. I haven't even posted pics from my girls night out, to see Twilight. It was a lot of fun, and I thought that after the movie I would be dead tired, but I was so wired I could have seen it again. I am going to see it for the 3rd time this coming weekend, I am so stoked!
This is me and my sister-in-law, Kathie.


Wendy and her mother-in-law, Renee








Carrie and her sister-in-law, Stephanie









Then me and my awesome Edward t-shirt.

Happy New Year......Almost

Can you believe it is almost 2009. That really boggles my mind to think how fast this past year has flown by. I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Christmas. Our's was great, very very busy, but great. My Aunt (who is like one of my favorite people in the whole world) and my 3 cousins came to visit from Kansas City, Mo. Thanks to my awesome grandma & grandpa! It was great to see them and spend a lot of time with them. I realized later that I didn't take any pics on Christmas. I know that sounds terrible, but I did get a lot on video. I would post it but it'd be quite long.
I have Aiden recorded as saying "This was the best Christmas ever!" Thanks, Santa you did a wonderful job! Now its back to life as we normally know it. I will miss Christmas, as always. I love seeing all the lights, and visiting with friends and family you only get to see once a year. I will miss having all my decorations up, if it was up to me, I'd leave my tree up all year long!
Now the excitement of the new year has begun! I love the feeling of starting a new year. It's like a fresh start, a chance to do things you didn't last year. I hope everyone tries one new thing in 2009 that didn't or wouldn't in 2008. I think I will try to get over my fear of E.T. Probably won't happen, but hey, at least I'll try....... Maybe learning to skydive will be easier!

Lights, and more Lights

Last Friday my mother-in-law, and I took the boys to the Willard Bay lights. They were amazing! That was the first time I had been , and it was totally worth it. You get to drive around, stay nice and warm, and see really cool lights, all at the same time. Amazing! We also got to see Santa, and 2 reindeer (Dasher and Dancer) says Aiden. Then last night Jon and I took the boys along with my brother, his wife, and their 2 boys, to see the Zoo Lights. They were really cool too, unfortunately I think we were all too cold, and hungry to enjoy them fully. After the lights we went to the California Pizza Kitchen. That is a really good place to eat, and also very kid friendly. We were all exhausted by the end of the night. But it was fun to get together.

Facebook

I decided to finally join the world of Facebook. My sister Amber (who now lives in Tasmania) has an account, and that was going to be the easiest way to keep in contact with her. So check me out on Facebook if ya want. I'll be pretty busy the next week, as I 'm sure all of you wil be. So I'm saying early Merry Christmas! We love you all, and wish you a very happy holiday season.

Bunco

So, I would like to start a Bunco group, and wanted to know if there was anyone interested in joining. I need 11 other people to join and we would meet once a month to play. Its lots of fun, so let me know!

Update

Sorry, I realize it's been a little while since my last post. We had a great Thanksgiving (actually we had 2). One on Thanksgiving at my dad's, then another one the following Sunday at Jon's mom's. They were both so delicious! Since my last post nothing much has been going on. We got all our Christmas shopping done the day after Thanksgiving. I decided to wake up at 6am and go to Walmart. Holy Cow, I will never do that again. It was insane! So after Jon and I got off work that day we went around 5pm to Target, and they still had a ton of stuff on sale. So next year I'm just going to wait til after work when it's not so crowded.
Also I saw Twilight for the 2nd time Friday night, with Lois. It was even better the 2nd time! Saturday the boys and I went to 2 birthday parties. Then later that night Jon and I went to my work Christmas party at Roosters in Layton. It was a lot of fun having everyone together! The food was great, and I won a $15 I-tunes card. Thanks Kyle! Well have a great week everyone! Til next time......

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. In honor of today I thought I would write a few things that I am thankful for.

1. Owen making it through everything
2. My husband and children, who are my life
3. My job
4. Living in a free country
5. My health

These probably sound like really general things, but honestly I am grateful for everyone single one of them. I hope everyone today can remember what they are thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

Twilight Movie News!!!!

The film's $35 million-plus Friday gross was impressive enough to spur a press release Saturday trumpeting plans for the "Twilight" sequel "New Moon," based on the second in Meyer's series of best-sellers. "Twilight" scribe Melissa Rosenberg has already been working on scripts for potential sequels based on "Moon" and the third book in the series, "Eclipse."

Summit execs were huddling Sunday in an attempt to pin down release plans for "Moon," which may unspool by late 2009 but also could get a 2010 date.



Yeah Baby!!!!! Wootastic!!!
