AHA'S

This is in my opinion the best face cream I have used so far! I have noticed a huge difference in my skin since using this. I started off using it just at night, I would wash my face with my Cetephil gentle skin cleanser and then put some of this on, all over my face and also I would dab it around my eyes and maybe a little extra where I had scarring or wrinkles, I would then wait and let it absorb into my skin, anywhere from ten minutes to a half an hour and then apply my normal night time moisturizer (equate oil free ultra gentle facial moisturizer for sensitive skin from walmart) Then in the morning I would just wash my face with my cetephil again and then use a moisturizer with SPF before apply my makeup.
     It was amazing, the first thing I started noticing was my scarring fading away and no new pimples, then I started noticing the fine lines around my eyes looking less visible, I wanted to start using it in the mornings to, but this cream does kinda burn a little when you first start using it, and you have to be careful when in the sun!!! But after a while my face got use to it and I started adding it to my morning routine to! I notice that when I use it in the morning my makeup goes on a lot smoother!
  So I now can not go with out using it, when ever I run out and haven't had time to go get some more, I instantly will start breaking out again and my face starts looking dull again, so I then hurry up to Walgreen's (which is the only place you can buy this at) and get me another tub of it!!!

Learning to sew

Riley had been wanting for some time to learn how to sew, and so the other day when we were in the dollar store, she had found a pink sewing kit and asked if she could get it. We got it and brought it home and first I showed her how to sew the hole in her rice heat bag that a friend had made her, and then she surprised her dad by sewing the hole in his flannel! Last but not least she sewed a button on to a sock! hahaha

Silver mountain!

After Thanksgiving was over we took a trip up to silver mountain! What an amazing beautiful place!!!! I wish I would have gotten more pictures of the hotel and lodge area because it was so festive and pretty, They had fireplaces every where outside and Christmas music playing, you felt like you were in a little Christmas town!

 After having some drinks in the village and warming up by the fires, we rode up the mountain in the worlds largest gondola ride! It was about a 20 minute ride and the views were breathtaking!

 When we got to the top of the mountain, we went to the tubing hills for a fun day of tubing!

 Not sure if you can see it in this picture, but this is coming back down in the gondola at night with a view of the village below!

Here are some pictures of the village that I found on the web of Silver mountain! We will definitely be going back!

Thanksgiving 2011

For Thanksgiving this year  we had the Anderson's and my sister and brother-in-law over, it was good times! We started the morning off with football, mimosas and bloody mary's!

We had a great dinner, with lots of food and great conversation!

Then finished the night off playing games! 

My sister is up for the weekend!

Melissa and her husband came up to our house this year for Thanksgiving, they came up a couple days before, so that we could have more times to hang out! We did a lot of Christmas shopping and slumber party nights with Riley were we painted fingernails and toenails and watched movies! We also went to a Thanksgiving potluck at my husbands work which was a lot of fun to!

Trying not to care

Trying not to care what other people think of me is the latest thing I am working on, Lately a lot of things have felt like high school and a big giant popularity contest? Really people? I thought we have all grown up? I don't understand why others cant just realize that we are all people trying to make it the best we can in this world, why do some think they are better than others? Nobody knows other peoples stories, and what has gotten them to where they are today. We all have so much to learn and from each other is the best place to learn it from. I have no room for someone in my life that does not think I am cool enough to be their friend, in fact I feel sorry for them, because they have probably left tons of great opportunities to get to know some pretty great people. I know who I am, and I know that I am a great mom, a good friend and happen to also have a pretty funny personality! And I guess I just need to not let it bother me so bad when someone doesn't want to be my friend, and then ask my self would I want this type of person to be my friend anyways?

My sister the model!

My twin sister does modeling, her biggest break was when she went to California to model for Galina Sobolev and her clothing line called Single! My sister is beautiful inside and out, and I am so proud of her and all her accomplishments! I love you Melissa!
