BEGGING for a workout!

This may sound a little ridiculous but I am extremely weight conscious. Matt and I both want to workout and lose some poundage but seriously don't know where to turn.
We were hoping perhaps someone could give us some ideas. We have no money and no equipment. It is freezing outside. We would find time to run outside together but would have to take Jaxson in order to do that and don't want the poor boy to freeze.

I am so frustrated! I have no idea what to do and we are both begging each other to do something but can't think of a single thing to do.

We have looked up exercises to do together inside without the equipment but it is nearly impossible to do them without someone telling you how many to do and how long to do it. We do it for a while but I stop before I ever feel like I've gotten a workout.

What would you do?

I can't sleep....

I don't know why but lately I can not sleep and it is driving me crazy. It totally is not good or healthy but I'm sure soon enough I will return to my usual schedule. It is probably just the holidays.

So, here I am at one in the morning with nothing to do and no way to knock myself out. I figured that I hadn't been on here in a while and that a little update might be nice.

I can't believe how fast time flies. I used to think days lasted way to long and now I wish all the time I could slow them down a little. Jaxson is getting so big. He says the cutest things and is so sweet. I am so lucky to hear that little boy say "mom..." "I love you." everyday! He loves to cuddle and of course make my day. He is just like his dad. He always knows when I'm frustrated or upset and lets me know by asking "mom, what's the matter?" He could probably name every super hero ever imaginatively created. He could sing any song after hearing it once or at least the most important parts. His dad is his favorite person to hang with and I'm his favorite cuddle partner. He loves to run all over the house and gets extremely hyper before nap or bed time but that makes for some great laughs. I guess I'm just really lucky to have such a cute boy.

Matt is well...he's amazing. I can not believe the things that man will put up with. I drive myself crazy. He never wants to fight so he is very good at communicating and he is the best problem solver. He reminds me a lot of my grandpa which is a huge compliment. He is very sweet and really cute. He'll do anything to make me happy. I just hope I don't run him out with all my craziness.

I love my two boys and all that I have been blessed with. We have had a hard few years but great ones as well and I look forward to this one just as much if not more. You learn to love the kicks and bumps in the journey after a while.

Wishing you a happy 2009 and a little more sleep!

Reflections of Christ

One of my favorite gifts for Christmas this year was a book and dvd about this amazing photography. As a photographer myself this is something I have always wanted to do. Use what I have been given to create something that can touch people. If you have never heard of or seen these images I hope you look them up and see them. It is truly awe inspiring.
The following is a slideshow created for the temple visitors center to showcase the images.
