Kari's Cat

Apparently my cat is mean and all other kitty's are nice

BUBBLES!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Frankie Jane

 My Cute little nugget is 2 today! Where has the time gone??? I am so lucky to have such a loving, spirited, beautiful niece. Erik assembled and decorated this cute train cake. She loved it and kept shouting "choo-choo"

 Megan's birthday is the day before she we went to cheesecake factory for dinner and then back to my house for cheesecake. Perfect night to celebrate my wonderful sister-in-law

 I bought Frankie her own chair! She felt very special and it matches my adult sized patio chairs so it is win-win!

 Goofy Family!

 Frankie sure did get spoiled this year...G.G. and Grandpa got her a classic radio flyer red tricycle. She is riding in style!

 I'd say my hurricane bubble maker was a hit!

Bet you wish your Niece was cute like mine

Sorry, but how cute is my niece?!

BYU Volleyball and their awesome coach!!!

Just in case you all aren't as obsessed with BYU Volleyball as I am, I thought I would share that BYU came in 2nd this year in the NCAA Championship. And who got coach of the year?! That would be my amazingly talented and oh so handsome cousin, Chris McGown. I am so proud of him and his team!!!

First time sledding

 

She wasn't exactly sure what she was suppose to think of this new activity

Family Adventure day

With Mom and Dad in town more often we can actually spend more time doing fun things rather than forcing dad to fix everything that needs fixing. There was so much snow when they were here last that we took the sled and headed to the neighbors iced over driveway. Frankie did great for her first time sledding, she didn't smile...but she didn't cry either.

 

And the person who had the best time....GG!!!

And then off for some snow shoeing with Mom and Dad while everyone else went back for a nap. There are such amazing views from the top of our trail. We didn't go too far, but it really is an amazing workout

Little Snow Monkey

She stole my heart the day I met her and she makes the world seem right when all else is wrong. I love my little Nugget!!! More pictures to come from our sledding adventure with GG and Grandpa

Cleanse Complete!

Well I survived! Made it 3 days on juice (and a little avocado...which they say is OK!). I was never hungry but I love food so I really missed eating. Food that normally doesn't smell good to me, made my mouth water.
Here is my breakdown: Glow was decent. Easy enough to drink and a refreshing way to start the morning. Fuel is definitely carrot-y but I enjoyed it as well. Purify was my least favorite. I am not a fan of beets and that was all I could taste...yuck! Fiji has a very strong ginger taste. I like ginger so I did not mind, but i also had to sip it slow. Green Supreme tastes awesome after the first 4, I could chug that in seconds if I wasn't so full of liquid all ready. And the Vanilla Cloud (or whatever it is called) is a yummy dessert after all the leafy greeny stuff you drink all day.
I do wish they were more like a smoothie or Odwalla juice with pulp, might make me feel like i was eating, but they really are just juice. Make sure to shake before every sip...the juice separates quick! I lost a few lbs, granted you pee 100 times a day so it could just be water weight, but its a good way to kick off a clean eating habit. Today is my first day off and I am having a smoothie for breakfast (jamba's orange carrot karma) and weight watchers veggie soup for lunch (they recommend easing back into regular food to help your body get use to digesting again.) I didn't really do the clean eating before like the tell you to, so maybe I would've had better results and not such a strong desire to eat.

PS I adore you is having a give away. If you wanna give the Suja Juice cleanse a try but don't wanna fork over the cash

Suja Juice

All my friends have been posting pics on their instagram of Suja Juice and claiming it is so good and they feel so great...blah blah blah. So I gave in and am giving it a try.
Suja claims it  "increases energy and stamina, increases mental clarity, better sleep, healthier hair and nails, and often people are in a better mood". Increased energy and better sleep sound great to me!

I am doing the 3 day cleanse and am only on juice 1 of 6 for the day. I have a feeling I'm going to be tired of juice by the end of this.
