Biggest Loser

That would be a dream come true if I were the "Biggest Loser".  Hahaha  How come that just doesn't sound right?  With the Holidays here and all the yummy food and goodies to be had.  My husband decides he's gonna put on a Biggest Loser competition.  Who does that?  LOL.  Remember when he did the Fox13 Lighten Up Challenge...  And won...  And NOPE we still haven't gone to San Diego..ugh LOL.  Crossing my fingers for January... :) Anyhoo, He's gained most of his weight back.  No good.  So now he's determined again to lose and invited all his buddies, friends and family members too.  There is about 20 die harders who are sacrificing their holiday goodies to be a Biggest Loser.  Not I though.  Oh no...I can't say no to all the Holiday yummies.  That would just be rude.  LOL.  But I am however, working out and TRYING to change my eating habits.  So you could say, I'm participating.  ;)  It ends Dec 23rd so the winners (1boy/1girl) will have a nice lil chunk of change for Christmas.  I think I'll join in on the next one in January.  For now, I'll just go at it at my own pace.

Thanksgiving Day

We always eat way way too much on Thanksgiving.  But who doesn't?  Gotta show love to everyone so we always do both family.  Started out at my family gathering early in the day.  With my mom's side. Her bro's and sis's and all their kids and gkids.  Plans fell through and we couldn't get the chapel.  So we all gathered at the Faamoe's...  Like Whoa!!!  So not the business.  Hahahaha.  But it sure is always fun to get together with the family on the Holidays.  All close and personal.  Food was bomb.  Family was chilling, chatting, clowning, jamming.  Kids playing, crafting, crying and being loud.  I love family gatherings.  We definitely will need to make sure we get the chapel again next year.  People were everywhere...hahaha 

We headed to my husbands side later that day.  My FIL is a very good cook.  My husband gets that from him.  Too bad he doesn't cook to often..hehehe  By far my FIL makes the best stuffing ever.  I always look forward to having his stuffing.  I'm satisfied if that is all I eat.  But of course all the other yummy food find its way on my plate.  ;)  With my in-laws its just our immediate family.  So its not loads of people.  But I enjoy it just the same.  Its at these gatherings that I get to know them better and enjoy talking and laughing with everyone.  And my kids get to hang out and have jam sessions with their cousins they don't often see.

Happy Thanksgiving

Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart. 

I am indeed GRATEFUL from much this year.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Keeps me on the straight path.

My family.  Keeps me motivated and determined.

My job.  Keeps me secure and warm.

My friends.  Keeps me sane and care-free.

That is enough to keep me happy!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Blizzard

If your in Utah then you know today they have been warning about a big blizzard storm through out Utah.  I seriously wasn't thinking anything of it.  Then our bosses let us leave early to get home and not be in the storm when it does actually hit.  I stopped off at the store and bought a few necessity I thought we might need incase we are snowed in.  Well I didn't get any candles or matches.  Go figure.  So now I have the kids going through all our camp equip to look for our flash lights and lamps.  I hope they find it.  I'm cooking a hot dinner for us to eat incase the power goes.  And of course some hot cocoa.  Dangit no bread though...ugh.  I really hope this storm is really comming cause its got me all panicing. 
Hopefully you all are prepared and not like me...hehehe  Have fun in the blizzard.  Stay warm and safe.  What you got planned for family?  Just wondering......

Diamond Lil's

When I think of Diamond Lils.  I think of too expensive and steaks.  So why are we having our football banquet there?  Oh well...  We attend Miah's team banquet there.  TD bucket paid for the boys.  Parents each paid $18 a piece.  Ouch :(  We didn't even get to eat any steaks.  Hahaha  All for the boys.  Miah enjoyed hanging out with his team one last time before they hang up the cleats for good.  He recieved a trophy and West t-shirts.  First year they didn't make it to the championship.  But still a fun learning year.  Go West Football!!!!



Try Outs

Miah and Myles have been excited for this week to come. 

They both would be trying out for the jr high basketball team.

They both would go back and forth trash talkin'...boys I tell ya.

Day 1 of tryout, there is literally 500 boys.  Ok, maybe just 50.

Of the 50 about 16 boys would actually make the team.

M & M tried there best.  Dribbling, shooting, defense, offense.

Myles is a natural with his tall height and strong built.

Miah is opposite of that but is more in shape of the two.

They went to school the following day and found they both made the first cut.

Yah..trash talking continues.  Dang these boys.

More try outs that day.  More shooting, dribbling, defense, offense.

Both feeling they did ok but weren't feeling to confident.

Next morning they would find out if they made the team.

Myles made the team.  He is excited and just on cloud 9.

My baby boi Miah does not make the team. 

Total bummer and I could tell the minute I picked him up from school.

So bummed he doesn't even want to do Jr Jazz.

Doesnt want anything to do with bball. 

He had his heart set on making the team.

Had a lil heart to heart with him. Tear tear!!

Now he can just work on his skills and get on the team next time.

Myles comes home tired and sore. 

It actually is funny cause this is my lazy nephew.

He's having a good time though

We all can't wait to go cheer him and our Legacy Lion's on.

Yes..Even Miah looks forward to cheering him on.

Go Legacy Lion Basketball!!!

Affair with COD

LOL.  I didn't know what to title this entry.  I had a few other titles in mind.  Like "I hate you COD"  or "COD is his bestfriend"  or "Go to Hell COD"  bwahaha.  But honestly I don't hate you that much.  Let me tell you about COD.  COD is my husbands love.  He spends countless hours with COD.  He'll wake up in the middle of the night to play with COD.  He stays up late at night to be with COD.  Sometimes will even miss dinners with the family to be with COD.  We could be eating saimin for the week, but he will find someway to buy the newest COD out there.  Do you know who COD is?  It is that stupid xbox 360 game Call of Duty. 
The newest version or series or whatever the heck you wanna call it, came out today.  "Black Ops"  People lined up worldwide at midnight to buy this game.  It cost $60 freekin buckaroos.  You know I could have used that for something for the whole entire family. 
As much as I dislike COD and all the many versions of it, I still allow my husband to buy and play it.  Really I probably overexaggerated his addiction to COD.  But he really does love his online gaming time.  Sometimes a bit to much for me. 
I really shouldn't complain though.  When he's playing his game, I'm on the laptop blogging, facebooking and surfing all over the net and all...  So I'm just as much a gamer as he is...No I'm Not!! LOL.

Birthday Fun with Madisyn!

My cute lil niece Madisyn celebrated her 1st BIRTHDAY with family and friends today. Her mommy and daddy started planning way in advance and went all out for their lil angel. I love hanging out with the family and letting the kids just run wild and go crazy. It didn’t help either that they had access to massive candy to help them get a little more crazy. Madisyn has truly been a blessing to our family. And she has been blessed with wonderful parents.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!!

Madi's very own sweets and treats for all the party guest.  Her sign in book was an I AM A CHILD OF GOD one.  Loved it.  Each favor bag had tooth brush and paste for the guest.  With all the treats there at the party, they definitely needed it.  Hehehe.

Fun Fun Fun!!!!

2010 Little League Football Playoffs

Jeremiah played his last football game of the season today. We placed 3rd in the league. So we played 2nd place team Hillcrest to see who advances to Championship. We played them earlier in the season and lost to them. They pretty much dominated the game the whole time. I figured, well it was early in the season. Maybe this time around it’ll be different. Well it wasn’t. Hehehe. Hillcrest beat us good. Final score of 21-6. We had opportunities to score several times. But it just didn’t happen for us. I was really bummed. I really wanted this year to be a Championship year. But the other teams definitely wanted it more. We’re done for the season. Time to turn in the football equipment. And move on to the next thing. Jeremiah played a good season. He is having fun but realizes that now he needs to not only have fun but take it serious. He’s getting older and in a year or two will be playing high school ball. He can’t wait for that as there is no weight limitation on the position you play…hehehe My boy wants to be a running-back. He gave the lineman position 6 years of his life and wants to run the rock. Hahaha. If you want it, you can do it son!!!!

Foi and my newphew Iversyn’s gremlin team also played in the playoffs today. Their team was in 2nd place and played 3rd place Granger to advance to Championship. Granger has this big ol’ kid that just scared the living crap out of our team. Hehehe He stopped our running game and was a big part in their running game. Honestly, He alone won that game for them. That kid is a beast. Final score was 12-0. Not a harsh score but sad nonetheless for our lil gremlin Panthers. Great season though.  We’ll get ‘em next year guys.. Especially since that kid is moving up and playing in the older age bracket….bwahahaha.

We Love WEST Football!!!

Hot Hula...WHOA!!!

So back in the day my friends and I were on a Turbo Jam kick. The infomercials are always on TV. It did its magic and I gave in and purchased all the workout DVDs and all the materials that come with it. And yes I actually did use my DVDs for a good 2 weeks …LOL. Well one of the gals on the DVD is polynesian. She was overweight and out of shape and TJ helped her lose the weight and she looks amazing on there. She is skinny and muscular but not in a manly way. I was amazed at her success. I wanted soo much to look like her. Hahaha. Well I tried.



Anyhoo, this same poly gal on Turbo Jam is Miss Hot Hula Anna-Rita Sloss.. Good on her for the success. She used her heritage and her fitness success and came up with Hot Hula Fitness. Go girl… Fitness and cha-ching…hehehe. Hot Hula is blowing up. And this past Friday I was able to attend a free master class introducing Hot Hula to Utah.


So I’m not much for doing Tahitian dancing. Samoan I can do. But shaking my caboose..ummm don’t know how, don’t like it. But since I enjoy Zumba so much. I figured it couldn’t be that hard. Well, it is and it isn’t. For me only because I don’t feel confidence in my booty bouncing and all that stuff. But all that aside, I had a good workout and a good time. I was sweating my buttocks off. I could feel it in my legs, my stomach, my arms, my back.  It definitely was worth my time. It was a bit chaotic being that I couldn't hear the instructor.  But I still enjoyed myself  It was jammed packed and everyone looked to be having a grand ol’ time. I think so much so that they have planned another Free Master Class for next month. And yep…I’m sooo there!!!
