New Year's Resolution 11 Months Late...

So maybe it's this early mid-life crisis I've been going through, but Justin and I decided it's time to make a PERMANENT change. We traded in our internet allotment for a 12 month membership at the local Rec Center. I bought me a food processor and have been pureeing like crazy all sorts of healthy foods. Yesterday, Estin out-ate Justin when I served him chocolate chip pancakes with whole wheat, wheat germ, blueberries and SPINACH! (They weren't that bad at all!) So... if you're wondering why I don't post quite as often or don't return your emails, it's only because I'm probably at the gym running on the treadmill or perhaps whipping up brownies and cauliflower. :)

Random Pics...

Eli's Growing!

Before and After...

This table and chair set Justin and I found at D.I. It was spray painted black... we decided to refinish it for our new apartment...

Paint Day!

Justin said he could HEAR the smile in my face when our apartment manager said we could paint! It was a lot of work... but WELL WORTH IT! The paint job before was light yellow with WHITE touch up paint throughout! YIKES! Before.... During....

Moving Day!!!

The day has FINALLY come! HURRAY for MOVING DAY!!! (...and YES it took the biggest Uhaul trailer :))

Happy 30th!!!

Is it possible I've reached the ripe old age of 30!!! I never thought this day would come (and it came SO fast!) I've kinda been going through an early mid-life crisis... but I'm trying to look at the positive and think of just how far I've come in 30 years, and where I'd ultimately like to be in another 30.

Trunk or Treat...

Even though we haven't "Officially" moved into our West Jordan ward (not until Friday!) we've been attending for the past few months. Friday night was Trunk or Treat.... we had a lot of fun! Justin and I won prize for "Most Creative Costumes" :)

Cornbelly's...

We spent FHE visiting Cornbelly's for the first time. We pretty much had the place to ourselves (surprisingly) and went the day before the big snow fall. It was great! I LOVE our little family!
Getting lost in the Corn Maze.... Estin kept saying "We're not lost, We're not lost" I think it was fun at first but towards the end he started getting a little panicked (we just went in the kiddie maze). Half way through he turned around and led us all the way back (which was quite a ways). He sure knows his directions!
You can't go to Cornbelly's without riding the Cow Train. Estin had a BLAST bumping along the corn fields.

Oswald Family Party...

Every year Justin's family has a BIG Halloween party. Everyone goes out of their way to come up with some pretty amazing costumes....here are a few samples...
