Happy New Year! I hardly ever write on our blog, but I thought I would post new pictures of Brett and Bella. We took the kids to kiddie kandids while we were in Provo/Orem this last week and they turned out really good considering, B & B were crying half the time, or being just plain defiant! We love them though! Jake has started a cleanse to get "the bugs out" and we went to Provo the night before the first day of his cleanse and ate at Ruby River Steakhouse. It was incredibly delicious! We eat there like once a year. Bella always gets the children's meal, the noodles and Brett shared my candied yam with me. It was a lot of fun to get to eat there. We had to keep reminding Bella that we were at a 'nice' place and to lower her voice/enthusiasm. She did really well for the most part! Jake has now been doing his cleanse for 4 days now and I am loving not having to cook so much! I feel like I am on vacation! I am proud of Jake, because I would have a very hard time not eating!!
Bella came down with croup yesterday, so I have been taking care of her and trying to keep Brett healthy. It's scary to see your child struggle just to breathe! The medicine she is taking now is working wonders, I wouldn't even know she was seriously ill! Technology! The doctor said she'll be better within a few days! Well, I am now going to try to post my pictures, wish me luck!

Some New Years Resolutions that I am trying!

1. Watch less, Do more
2. Sit less, move more
3. See less, read more
4. Stress less, love more
5. Be more

We'll see how this year turns out, but I have a feeling, it's going to be a great year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
