Happy Valentines Day!!!

I got a SUPER special gift this year....but nobody will know about it for a few more weeks ;-)

Hope your day is beautiful! Love is in the air!

Yoga Teacher....check!

I've been toying with the idea of being a yoga teacher for the past few years.

I LOVE yoga. I plan my day around classes. So, it seemed to make sense to add "Yoga Teacher" to my resume. I can do it part-time and make some extra money doing something I love!

I will eventually get certified through Sunstone Yoga, but being a full-time Mom is more important right now. Certification wouldn't work into my schedule for awhile.

SO, my friend Elise, the owner of Adrenaline Dance Studio, wanted to start having yoga classes. Guess who she hired....ME!

I'm so excited!!! My first class should be tomorrow morning, but due to the massive amount of snow...we will just wait and see! I will be teaching Tuesday nights 8-9pm and Saturday mornings 9-10am! I will most likely just teach an hour long gentle, vinyasa flow class. Throwing in some challenge poses. I'm so excited. I can't believe I have been blessed with this awesome opportunity!

I just hope I can do a great job! Wish me luck!

Well, this is new?

It finally happened, after 18 months of perfect health, my baby boy got sick last night :-(

Mason was a little fussy during teething (as to be expected) and he had a runny nose once after a trip to California, but other than that...he has been perfectly healthy! Not one trip to the doctor. Seriously.

He just had a mild touch of food poisoning last night, it only lasted from 2am till 7 am and this morning he is back to normal.

This was the first night I haven't gotten a good nights rest since we have brought Mason home from the hospital...I have been very spoiled! It was so hard seeing my little boy sick and feeling helpless. I'm just so grateful he is feeling better now and that he wasn't seriously ill.

Snow.. In Texas?

Every winter I tell Micah it doesn't snow in Texas, and every winter I am proven a liar. Last year it snowed and this year we had another awesome snow day!
We came home from church and Uncle Josh had made 2 huge snowmen. Mason was frighten and intrigued. It was very humorous.

I am grateful that it doesn't snow often in Texas, because it makes it so much more special when it does happen. Everyone gets crazy and giddy and it is so exciting!

But next year, I won't remind Micah that it "never" snows in Texas :-)

Mason...you make my heart smile!

Mason picked out his outfit on Friday. His onsie and his cowboy boots. He was a hit at Ikea!
He looks so big in this picture! Stop growing up so fast !!! :-)
There are no words. Only hysterical laughter.

Mason, you are exploding with personality and I LOVE IT!

Facebook bugs

Ahhh... just need to vent! and post a funny pic :-)

I can't stand when people post such annoying things on their Facebook pages!!! I so often want to make a comment to correct them, or fix their spelling, or just point out the obvious!!!

BUT...I bite my tongue because I'm grateful that we have freedom of speech and everyone is entitled to their opinion. And I'm just not brave enough to be "that girl".

SO...instead, I will use my blog to make it know that ALL PARENTS SHOULD MAKE THEIR OWN INFORMED DECISION ON CHILD VACCINES!!!!

Don't have blind faith. Don't just listen to your Mom. Don't just trust everything your doctor says. And don't just listen to crazy people with different opinions.

We have SO MUCH information at our finger tips! USE IT! And most of all...USE YOUR MOTHERLY INSTINCTS! They were given to you for a reason.

A great resource for info on vaccinations is The Vaccine Book by Dr. Sears. It is unbiased and accurate.

If you want to know my honest opinion about it...just ask

Ahhhh....I feel so much better. Now my head won't explode :-)

AHHhhhhh.....

I just love the fresh start of a new year!

And I REALLY love that church now starts at 11 o'clock! Mason falls asleep during sacrament meeting and I get to snuggle him and steal kisses. So wonderful.

We are so blessed.

Happy New Year!
