Friday night at Brighton

On Friday night Lauri, Bree and myselft went up to Brighton to do a little bit of night snowboarding. It was awesome. It had been snowing for the last two days and all day long and was still snowing when we were there. The snow was AMAZING!!! So much fresh powder. We had such a fun time. Then afterwards we proceded to Jimmy Johns for their fresh awesome sandwiches and for dessert, Red Mango. Yum Yum! Anyway, I took some pictures of us up at Brighton and thought I would share.

Oh my Stella Bella

If there is someone that I just love, love love taking pictures of, it's my Stella. She just makes me laugh and smile all day long. I just thought I would share some of our moments from the camera.

What Stella is into lately at 15 months...

Stella has just recently started to realize that she would rather be naked than dressed. She has discovered that if she pulls really hard on her sleeves of her shirts, she can sort of start taking them off. This is how I found her the other day while she was taking a nap....

She loves to read her books and play with my kitchen towls. She sees me folding them and then she likes to pretend that she is folding them and then she goes gets them again and carries them with her everywhere. Even in her little stroller.

Ginger Anne Johnson

Well it's offical! Heather and Matt are parents to a BEAUTIFUL little girl. Her name is Ginger Anne Johnson. She was born on Jan. 4th at 7:14 am weighing in at 6 lbs and 12 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. Just perfect. She is as cute as can be and sooo sweet. I'm soo excited for Heather and Matt to be parents. They are going to be so wonderful and I am glad to have a little neice that lives near me. :) Congrats to you both!!

Happy Feet!!

Here's just a fun little video of Stella showing off her mad dancing skills! I just love watching her!! I hope you do too. :)

New Year, New Goals

Welcome to 2010. I don't know about you, but it came and went too fast. Hopefully this year won't seem like such a blur. I am challenging myself this year to actually make some goals and accomplishing them. It is making me excited and eager. I know if I write them here for all of you to see and for myself to see, I will have a less chance of forgetting about them and not caring.

So some of my goals are:

1. Start taking better care of myself, ie: working out, eating better. I am pretty sure everyone out there always has this on their list but I am determined. I am going to blog about my progress and my results. I might just be brave enough to post pictures of myself going through my transition. :)

2. Blogging. I thought I was doing an ok job this last year at updating my blog but in the last few months I have been slacking. I am going to start blogging a lot more and taking more pictures to post. Looking at other peoples blogs I love seeing and reading about their lives and have decided to be more dilligant in this area.

3. I am going to try really hard at learing spanish. I am going to find a class or get rosetta stone or learn new words each day. Anything to help me learn and to become fluent. I want my little girl to not just understand spanish but to speak and what better way then for me to know it and to speak it to her. I will also blog about this as I go along.

4. I want to be come a better cook/baker. I am going to try and come up with new ideas and to branch out and not to be afraid of trying new things.

Well I think these 4 goals/resolutions are a good start to my new year. I will keep you posted on however thing is going.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!
