Here We Are

After a 5 hour plane ride and a 4 hour car drive with 3 hungry boys and 1 crazy girl I finally made it to Idaho! A few hours after getting to my parents house my sister went into labor. We have been on a wild ride ever since.

Happy Mother's Day 2010

We had a wonderful Mother's Day. I had breakfast in bed, I received beautiful flowers and my boys all drew me wonderful pictures. Some days it is great to be a Mother. There is no other job that is quite so fulfilling.

Slump

I have been so out of it lately. My family has been passing around a cold and I can not shake it! I am also in the process of cleaning out my house. I want to declutter every thing! I will get back to writing soon. :)

Great Cause

My cousin Misti's two children have both been diagnosed with Alpha - 1. Alpha-1 is the 3rd most common serious genetic disorder in the world and can result in life-threatening liver or lung disease. Currently the only cure is liver transplant. Misti is going to be running the Salt Lake City Half Marathon for Alpha -1 and a cure. If anyone would like to make a donation to the cause it is simple and the money goes directly to research.

Time to Reevaluate

Okay it has been a month and a half since I started working on my weight loss goal. I have decided that I need to change my weight loss goal. I feel that 40 lbs is very overwhelming and that it is keeping me from feeling like I have accomplished anything. I am going to set my new goal at 20lbs less then I am now. I feel more confident about this and I am starting over right now!!!

I Won!

I Won! I won a wonderful waffle charm and a fantastic cupcake charm. Both of which are scented. I am so excited to get them in real life. Mei does a wonderful job and I will wear them both with pride. If you would like your chance to win these amazing prizes please go to the Tiny Hands Blog for more information. If I can win anyone can. Go right now and check it out we all need a little sweet treat in our lives now and again.

My life

My children are very busy and constantly keep me on my toes. They love to run, jump and drive each other crazy. There are days when we cry all day long and there are days when we laugh until we fall over. Each day is a new adventure and I am so grateful for each of them. I enjoy each new day with my children!

Who let the crazies out?

Okay so I went to Deer Creek Middle School and to Columbine High school. So if any of you have been watching the news you know what is going on. What I want to know is what is wrong with our society. I do not understand how one person feels the need to hurt other people exspecially people who they don't know. Luckily there are still brave people who are willing to risk their own lives for the sake of others. I have great empathy for anyone who has gone through this. It is never fun to be afraid or to lose a friend at such a young age. We should never live in fear and the truth is the only thing to truly fear is fear its self. Be strong and always know that there is more to this life then the day to day. Also know that faith grows stronger in times of trial. My prays go out to all those who have ever been affected by school tragedies.

Always - Jana

Weigh in Day

I weighed in this morning. It was not my finest hour, my new weight is 184.6. So I gained a pound and a half. I am not to excited about that. I feel like I will never break out of the 180's. I want to move on but I am NOT! I will work twice as hard this week and we shall see what happens. Maybe if I lay off the six pack of candy bars while my husband is at work I will do better? :)

Sanctuary or Prison

My Husband and I where in the middle of our usual pillow talk when I said " I am glad that you feel like at the end of the day you can escape the crazy world and come home" Then He said " I hope my sanctuary is not your prison." I laughed at first but then I thought about it. There are days when I do feel like I'm stuck! So I decided I need to find a way to make my home my own sanctuary as well. I often feel like as mothers we worry so much about our families happiness we forget to see how happy we are. I am so blessed with four children, a great husband and a town with so many loving people. I just need to make more of an effort to see what I already have!

On that note I am going to list 5 things I love about my life:
1. My family
2. My faith
3. My hair (superficial I know but I need to love it before it goes gray)
4. My husbands job (It keeps him busy and me fascinated)
5. Good food

So before you feel like you are in a prison day by day count your blessing and you will find that your sanctuary has been there all along!
