A New Diet

So it was a WARM (not!) 7 degrees last night....we are freezing!!! We got a lot of snow this week....so it's just hanging around and making us colder :)

Shawnee had a big party here. She was suppose to have like 17 people here, but only 8 showed up. That was ok. Garrin and I were banned to our bedroom to watch a movie. HA. Kaylee went to a friend's house. Jaycee stayed home with us. Dad and I also ate out at Cafe Rio. I'm starting a new "diet" /healthy way of eating and it's WAAAAAY strict. I can only eat their meals. While I"m losing weight---NO rice, pasta, potatoes, fruit, bread, nothing like that at ALL. Hope I survive it!!! So....the next night we ate out at our other favorite place---Whistle Wok. HA. Had to get it all in before I cant. I'm going to try for 3 months to be really good and get this weight off...so no eating out for me! Here's my BRAVE before picture!

We were cleaning up the Christmas decorations and Jaycee decided to try on the tree skirt.

We laughed at Koda as he was into EVERYTHING. He kept getting Kaylee's shoe no matter where she put it. Then he got the OTHER shoe and started. He's funny to watch. he went after my pepsi, the comics, my camera, the doggie poop bags, everything! He had his little surgery this week...so that's been a little challenging to watch so he doesn't lick in the wrong spot. LOL. We also feed him pain meds in a little syringe tube that he LOVES. And I love because I give them to him at 7am and then he falls back asleep with me for a couple of hours.

Well...we woke up to a good 4 inches on last Wed morning. Chalice and Jhonny and the kids stayed with us on their way home to Texas. They spent Christmas with Gma and Gpa Ellis. We were watching the weather as it was suppose to be bad weather. I left the house at 5:45 am to get to work on time....once I got over point of the mountain it was a breeze. I told Chalice they should leave then too...so they did. They had to got through Price canyon. It took them 2 hours--but they made it through ok. Up my way in SLC--it rained all day...but about 5:00 Wed night ...wowee....we were in a blizzard (a real one...as opposed to that fake one they predicted last month). We probably have at least another couple of inches..but the wind is whipping it around fiercely. We hunkered down once everyone got home and didn't go anywhere on Thursday. Except Garrin of course. He was going down that hill by Bishop Dixon's house and was going very slow...I think he said like 5-10mph and when he went to turn right....he slid and almost went into the ravine. He got stuck in the snow and a truck was right behind him and pulled him out. When I woke up Thurs....I was SOOO glad that I didn't have to be to work that day!!! Everyone had to work 6am-2pm because we were closing early for the holiday--and the roads were soooo nasty---I would not have made it there anywhere close to being on time!
