I need your input....

Being a fitness instructor, I buy A LOT of music. I am always looking for new music for my Tread class. Some of the members at the Treehouse were thoughtful enough to give me I-tunes gift cards for Christmas...so I am on the lookout for new music! I need your ideas! I need your favorite songs to run to! This music is for my Tread (running class). My class LOVES the songs you can sing to and gets them going! What is your favorite? Help me! I have money to spend!

Gabe's Burger Blog...

Gabe set a goal that he wanted to "invent" something this year. "Invent" turned into "create", and he created his own blog where he is doing his own burger reviews. He typed his first post all himself! Go visit, leave him a comment, and vote on which burger joint he should visit next. And - THANK YOU! You will make his day!

New Years Resolution....

One of my New Years Resolutions is to blog more this year....I miss it....I miss you all....I am announcing it here to be held accountable. I will blog at least once a week (you should be specific with your goals.) Hold me to it.

The Best and Worst Gift....

I surprised Jesse with a Kindle 2 this year for Christmas. Do you have one of these? Or seen how cool they are? Seriously. Check them out.

There is good and bad to this gift. Good - Jesse loves to read and has been drooling over the Kindle for a couple of years now. Bad - once he starts to read a book, he goes MIA. Jesse, we love you and will see you when you finish your book...or the next...or the next....

Outfit of the Week....

I had a hard time picking which outfit I loved best this week from the diva....

This one was a lovely combination of pajamas covered by a furry vest. Both are pulled together by a ruffly reversible skirt. The leather boots add so much to the outfit. It is all topped off by a glitter headband.

This one truly is a classic. Not that you really wanted to know, but Emma's ensemble is actually lingerie. Let's just leave it at that.

Christmas Recap...

Christmas Eve dinner was SUSHI - we were all in heaven....


The first gift that Emma opened was from Gabe - a "flapper" costume. She immediently put it on....it is still on....



...we also got a Karoake machine. Ironically, none of us can carry a tune!

Gabe loves his new DS Game and legos (he is currently STILL playing the game)....

Breakfast was with our sweet neighbors, the Schmidt's. We enjoyed spending time with Stephanie and her funny boys - they keep us laughing!

Weekend Fun...

We decided to take a much needed break and head to Midway and Park City for the weekend. We stayed at Zermatt Resort, which the kids think is pretty cool. Midway is one of our favorite places to visit. The beauty is breathtaking.

We saw "The Princess and the Frog" - so, so cute!

There was a little shopping, good food (Gabe has discovered sushi!), and onto the sledding hill - Soldier Hollow....

What's not to love about being pulled to the top of the hill? The only way to go!
