Ok, I think it's finally safe to say I can post something. The kids are in bed (not yet asleep, I'm sure), I've got my blankie on and have chosen a Netflix show (Somewhere in Time)" Come Back to Me". The last time watch this was with my roomies in college. It was one of roomates favorites. We listened to the sound track all of the time! Hubbie's sick in bed so I have the opportunity to watch a Romance! i love IT, (well the not that he's sick though)!
So, after taking a long break from blogging..I've been spending more time with my family and less time working. I love being with my children and have enjoyed taking more time out for them. I've lightened the load a little bit by making life a little easier. I joined ezmeals.com a meal planner that sets up your week with low-fat recipies and a grocery list to go with it. I also wasn't taking the time for ME, so I joined the YMCA. It's been so much fun. Bryan goes with me too and it's like a date night because the kids go to the kids center. I took a boot camp class and was sore for a week, but I'm slowly building up to feeling better. It gives me a little break from the day to day routines too. I'm looking to loose at least 30 pounds, so we'll see how it goes.
We've been on a few trips since I've last posted. We've gone to St. George to visit my inlaws. The kids love going to see Grandma and Grandpa. We went there once for Thanksgiving and again for Christmas! All but one of my sister in laws and their families were also there. It had been a while since we were with them, so we enjoing the time together. We also went to Park City for Valentines Day. We were there for 4 days and only left he cabin once to go sledding. I enjoyed being away from home without all of those worries. The cabin had a gormet chef style kitchen and a movie theatre with 20+ reclining seats. I can't wait to go back!

Yesterday, my oldest wanted to make jello. He chose lime and we had enough packages to make Jigglers. It was a first and so much fun! When it was ready to cut we got out the cookie cutters. He wanted to use a heart and the train cookie cutters. So, here's what we did with the heart. Do they look like four leaf clovers? This would be a party food to make for St. Patrick Day.
I'm attending the CollinsGroup Show soon and designed the workshops and make and take for the sample making frenzy. If you're coming to the show please come to these workshops. You'll receive FREE shipping for attending the workshop. The show special is by 1 collection and get the 2nd collection 1/2 off. I used Piggy Tales' newest Spring Lines: Thumbelina and Georgie Porgie Puddin Pie. They are both soooo adorable and once Debbie delivered them to my door I couldn't wait to start designing! It has been about 2 months since I even stepped foot into my studio. I must say I miss my past home because I didn't share my studio with the guest bed, but I think the pool paradise in the back yard is a good trade off. I can't wait for the summer time! The boys are getting excited to swim.

So, my next project is to make a Millenium Falcon cake for my oldest that's turning 4 in a few weeks. He's had this request for quite some time and I've been researching what to do. I think this may end up being a job for DAD, but we'll see how things go! Wish me luck!
Have a great weekend everyone!
