Family Picture Time Again...

This year my in-laws were able to get everyone together for a family picture. The last one they had was in 2001, so it has been LONG overdue. It has been fun being in Utah to visit with all our friends and family again. We sure love you guys!

I Wanna Rock!

As I was getting ready to pack for our Utah trip, Kennedi, as always, was "helping" by getting into everything. This is what I saw when I turned around to see what she was doing...



Of course, I had to make a scrapbook page...



We want to see you when we are in Utah. Please let me know if you will be in town this month so we can set up a time to meet while we are down there.

Should I be worried?

Since Kennedi has been playing with other kids at the gym she has learned quite a few new things. Some things are good, some things are not so good. Here is her latest comment...

Kennedi: "Look, Mom. I am bringing sexy back" (as she points to her armpit). Should I be worried?

Christopher's Color: Once again, exactly right.

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Green

You're green, the color of growth and vigor. Good-hearted and giving, you have a knack for finding and bringing out the best in people. Green is the most down-to-earth color in the spectrum — reliable and trustworthy. People know they can count on you to be around in times of need, since your concern for people is genuine and sincere. You take pride in being a good friend. For you, success is measured in terms of personal achievement and growth, not by status or position. Rare as emeralds, greens are wonderful, natural people. It truly is your color!

Tiff's Color: Black-Couldn't they come up with a more enticing color? This is definetely me...

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Black

Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

Jack and the Beanstalk

I found Kennedi climbing up in the hall closet and I asked what she was doing. Her reply was, "I'm climbing up; just like Jack and the Bean-Dock." I just had to make a scrapbook page about it.

FUN THINGS WE HAVE DONE LATELY...

1. TRIP TO SIX FLAGS





2. GOING TO THE BOYS BASEBALL PRACTICES AND GETTING REALLY DIRTY AT THE PARKS



3. KAMI'S FIRST HAIRCUT




4. KENNEDI ASKED HER DADDY TO MARRY HER

HAPPY EASTER

I am sure my girls are going to kill me when they get older, but I couldn't resist!

Newest Addition...

We have adopted the stray kitty that has been living on the side of our house. Chris and I have never really been cat people, but when I saw this kitty we instantly connected. Being an abandoned wild kitty, it took a few times for her to trust me to get close to her. Finally when she did, I was able to show her where the food and water was outside. The poor thing was so scrawny looking, but also a beautiful grey Persian kitty.
After a few night of the kitty coming around, it was going to be below freezing and I couldn't leave her out there. Chris was able to catch her and we brought her inside for the night. We were worried about how our dogs would react, but they took to her just fine. Roscoe, our great dane, treated her like she was his baby. I was planning on taking her to the shelter that next morning, but I just didn't get around to it. We looked and saw she was a girl so we named her, Chloe. Well, that was until today when I discover she is actually a BOY. I guess he was getting sick of being called, 'Chloe', and things like 'Princess' so he decided to finally hang loose, so to speak. Now we are looking for cute BOY names, if you have any suggestions. He is really a cool cat in that he can climb up and down trees like no other. He also has a soft side and loves to snuggle and cuddle. He is just my kind of animal and fits into our family very well :)

Count Your Blessings...

Today I received this devastating email from one of my friends at BYU and thought I would share it. If you can't help, maybe you know someone who can.


Dear Family and Friends,
A year and half ago we moved into our new home in Pleasant Grove, Utah. At that time Blair's foster brother and best friend, Sam Harrison, and his wife, Ashley, moved into our basement apartment. Since that day, we've pretty much been one big happy family. They love our kids like their own, and we love them more than words could ever express. It would honestly be hard to imagine our lives without them in it.
Six weeks ago, Sam and Ashley were happier than we've ever seen, as they gave birth to their first son, Benjamin Alexander. Although Benji arrived three weeks early, he is as happy and healthy as can be.
Now, the reason for my email. This past Saturday night, Sam, was in a horrible snowboarding accident while night skiing at Brighton ski resort.
He unintentionally hit a jump that threw him up in the air; he flipped around landing on his head breaking his neck in three places & paralyzing him from the shoulders down.
Sam finished working in December and is currently enrolled in night school at BYU. They were in the process of deciding what to do as far as health insurance went for him; therefore, Sam does not have medical coverage at this time. As you can imagine, the financial strain would be overwhelming even if he had had insurance.
Our hearts ache for our dear friends; we haven't slept in days trying to comprehend how quickly one's life can change in such an unexpected, short amount of time. If there is anything you can spare for this family it would be truly appreciated. We have set up a non-profit organization and website with Sam's story and photos. You may visit the site at www.donateforsam.org. Donations can also be made to any Zions Bank to the account name: Sam Harrison Donation. All information is posted on the website.
Please keep the Harrison Family in your prayers.
Love, Holly & Blair Hasler
P.S. Please circulate this email; post it on your blog, tell your friends.
Every little bit will help. Once again, www.donateforsam.org

TEAM fitness update

Well, it was the end of the first week of TEAM fitness and I have lost 4 pounds. Only ___ more to go (like I would tell you -Ha). Anyways the class is awesome. On Monday's and Friday's we do circuit training for 1 hour and on Wednesday's we do cardio for an hour. I like to go on my own Tuesdays, Thursdays and some Saturday's to get in some extra cardio. I am a little frustrated because with this class we are supposed to have a nutritionist come and we haven't seen her yet. So if any of you out there have 1200 calorie meal plans please let me know and email it to me. I am just guessing I should have around 1200 calories and I have made my own meal plan program on excel. If any of you have professional meal plans or advice, please send it my way. Thanks for all the encouragement and support. Jocelyn, I am happy to hear that you will be going through it with me. That's awesome! Keep up your hard work. Oh, if any of you San Antonio mom’s out there have a membership to Lifetime, let me know and maybe we can meet there sometime. It’s always nice to have a friend to workout with.



By the way, did I ever show you that I am in a fitness magazine??? How's that body for having two kiddo's-lol.



Don't you just LOVE photoshop :)
