Holiday pounds

o.k I thought I was going into the holidays motivated to not over eat since I just recieved my lifetime weight watcher award last week. So what did I do? I ate more than I ever have in my life this week. Especially chocolate. UGGG Im so dissapointed in myself. Well 2 extra pounds later in one week is my new motivation.

Historical Provo tabernacle goes up in flames.

this morning at about 3:00 a.m I was awoken by Scott who scared me to death,because I saw was this man standing over me. He said he needed the camera right away because the Provo Tabernacle was on fire. I tired and grumpily got up and got him the camera. If I would have known the seriousness I think I would have gone with him. He was working his shift at nights and got amazing photographs of the horribly devestating fire that has Provo in shock and in tears.

In fact Fox 13 news displayed all his photos ( processed by me of course) on the noon news. There are so many so if you want to see them all I suggest you check out my facebook page. But here are a few of the devestating Photos.

A piece of our pioneer history was taken from us today.

Merry Christmas to all!

Just in case I did not send you one.. Only because I do not have your address. here it is Our family 3d Christmas card, but unfortunAtely you cannot see the 3d effect. The middle circle popped right out. I wanted something different this year.
We love all of you and wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and Happy New year. Let us all remember Christ in this special time.

winter wonderland

I spent the last three days running the winter workshop for school. it is so much work but so rewarding to see all the excited kids buying their family gifts for Christmas. Even if most of them are buying for themselves. I even had one kids tell me when i told him to go look at the tables for mom & Dad so he could buy them a gift " why the hell would I want to spend my money on that?" Aww what a true Holiday spirit.
I really wish our school would be more opt to volunteer to help with PTA things. it is always so hard to find people to help, which puts the burden on two of us.
