Christmas Through McCall's eyes.

Sorry it has taken me so long to update my blog. I thought that I would post pictures that McCall took with her camera that she got for Christmas. She is a pretty good photographer.

McKenze and her new 22

Ty and his new 22

McKenna and her new journal

Tate and his new outfit.

Opening presents is hard work

We definitely had a white Christmas

Christmas was good but it went by too fast. Santa brought us Rock Band for the WII and we are now playing nightly shows if any of you are interested in watching. I must say we are quite good. It is so much fun to see friends and family. I was off for two weeks so I had time to spend with the kids. We started a new tradition of going to Mesquite for Christmas Eve to see my grandparents. I was able to go to lunch with Holly, Amy, Audrie, and Kelly we had so much fun and I realized that I miss seeing them so if you guys are reading plan on hanging out next time you come to town. So Happy New Year and I will blog again in a few weeks

Kendall Lynn Legg

So my computer is fixed and I will post some Christmas pictures in a day or two but I wanted to post pictures of my new niece Kendall. She was born on January 2nd at 11:52 a.m. I was in the delivery room and I must say it is way different being on the other side of the delivery. Here are some pictures:

Proud Parents

My kids seeing her for the first time.

Everything went fine they are home now and not sleeping. Isn't it crazy how these little blessings come into our lives and change them forever? Does it make any of you baby hungry?

7 things you might not know

Ok so Brittney tagged me so here are 7 things you might not know about me:

You May not know:

#1. When I was six I called 911 and told them we had a fire and all the fire trucks and police in the Sandy area came. My brother got blamed I only fessed up a few years ago.
#2. I love rap music. One day you may be so fortunate to hear me rap ask those that have heard me and they will tell you I should have my own album.
#3. When I was five years old I roller skated on the coffee table. I really wanted to ice skate and glass was the closest thing I could find to ice.
#4. I have never been drunk. A lot of people say that they would like to see me drunk.
#5. I am completely freaked out by wet tissue. It is the most disgusting thing ever I will not touch wet toilet paper or tissue.
#6. I have always wanted to be a forest fire fighter. I don't know what it is about their uniform's but every time I see them I stop and stare and when I see the females I always think that they look tough but still feminine. Plus some of the males are pretty hot.
#7. When I was younger I had a huge crush on David Justice. If you are not clear who he is he used to play for the Atlanta Braves and he was once married to Halle Berry.

So now it is my turn to tag and I tag 7 people Cassie, Kelly, Chelsea, Jamie M., Jenn K.,Holly, and Karisti. Good luck.

I have a virus

Ok not really me but my computer at home has a virus and I can't even get on the internet to post on my blog. So that is the reason I still have not posted any pictures of my kids Halloween costumes. I can only get on the internet at work and so don't tell Myrna but I am here at work updating my blog.

So Halloween has come and gone, my birthday has come and gone (yes I am 31), and now Thanksgiving has come and gone. Where does the time go? Do you remember when you were young and your parents would say how fast time went by and you were thinking how slow time went by for you as a kid. Well I know I am getting old (31! sad) but now I can see what they were talking about.

My Grandpa turned 80 on Friday and we had a big party for him with the whole family and I must say that we Hymas' know how to party we even had the police and the fire trucks there!! It was quite a riot. This year I went out shopping on Black Friday for the first time ever and I can honestly say it will probably be the last time ever. What is it about deals that make people completely forget their manners. I had one lady running over me with her stroller and yes there was a baby inside.

It seems at the end of the year I always want to reflect on the past year. There are a lot of scary things going on in the world right now but it is really nice to have your family and friends. My mom, Cassie, and myself are going shopping next week and I am way excited. We always go to Vegas for a night and we have a blast. As I get older I have a lot more fun hanging out with my sister then I did when she was younger. I remember when I used to have to take her to Kelly's I hated it. I wasn't very nice to her but I think that is what older siblings are supposed to do but sorry anyway Cass.

Well enough reflecting I will try to get rid of my virus and then post tons of pictures. Does anyone know a really good computer repair person???

When will it ever end??

So I have an excuse as to why I have not posted in a long time my computer will not let me post pictures and I promised all of you pictures last time so I was waiting. I then decided not to leave you all in the dark any longer I will go ahead and post with or without pictures.

Well today was the marathon and no I did not run it however I did enjoy driving into town last night with all of the words of encouragement telling me I rock and to keep on going. It really inspired me to drive to the best of my ability and to make it to the end. Just kidding I know that the signs were not really for me but it was fun pretending. So back to my story this morning I was able to eat breakfast with my family and watch the first half of conference before I had to head to work and as I was driving to work I was really depressed because I have to work on Saturday's and it really got me wondering "Will I ever be a stay at home mom?" For those of you that don't work with me you should know that I do not work because I want to I work because I have to for insurance we don't qualify for our own insurance because of McKenna's health problems when she was a baby (she only has one lung the other was taken out when she was an infant and the doctors have told us she would never miss the other lung). Then I get to thinking about the Church and how many people in the church have said negative comments about me being a working mom and not being home with my kids, as if it is my choice. I guess that I just have to remember to love the Church for the gospel and the teachings and not judge it because of some of the members.

Sorry I don't mean to be negative. I do have to remind myself about all of the positive things about my job (let's face it if I have to work I have it pretty good with my job.) So here are a few of the positives.
1. The people I work with- If I didn't work I would miss so many of the girls that I work with plus the lunches, family nights, and the almost daily visits from Brittney in my office! Ha Ha sorry Britt.
2. The perks- where else can you go to work and get a facial, pedicure, or massage during your shift.
3. The products- Free products from vendors, products at cost I could go on and on and on.........
4. The flexibility- I can leave work and go to a soccer game or a program at any time.

So when life hands you lemons make lemonade and realize the grass is not always greener on the other side. So long for now I will try to post some pictures next time.

Sorry Fellow Bloggers!!

I am really not very good at keeping my blog up to date so I am going to try to do better. So a lot has happened and I will have to tell you all about it with out showing you pictures but I will post pictures soon. The girls started school I now have 1 third grader, 1 second grader, and 1 in kindergarten. They love school but the boys really miss them throughout the day!! McCall and the boys are signed up for soccer it starts on September 6th and it ought to be really interesting to see how that works. Oh did I mention that Deven is the coach for the boys team? It makes me laugh because I signed him up and he acts like he isn't excited but I know secretly he loves it.

So update on the diet, after four weeks of the really intense diet that I lost 13 pounds on I have now started on Weight Watchers so the losing of the weight is much slower but I don't feel like I am starving all of the time. I have lost a pound in one week and I have been told that by the third week I will be losing 2 to 3 pounds a week. So cheer me on I still have a ways to go but I am making it and eating healthier!!

Hello Again

So It is now August!! I can't believe that we are almost done with the year. Pretty soon it will be Christmas time and then we will be in 2009!!
So Karisti inspired me, she has been losing all this weight and I saw her at the reunion and let me tell you she is looking really good. So I started my weight loss program on July 18th and I originally told the Dr. that I wanted to lose 36 pounds and he told me that I did not have that much weight to lose. Well here it is 20 days into the diet and I have lost 12 pounds. All those clothes that I kept because I knew one day I was going to lose weight are finally starting to fit me again!! Yippee!! So thank you Karisti for being so inspiring.

School starts next week and I am sad that my little McKenze will be going to school this year with her two older sisters. It will only be the boys home for now on. I can't believe how fast things go by. Crazy little bit of information my little sister is going to have a baby. I am so excited for her but I am also a little sad that we won't have any kids growing up together oh well I guess I can provide her with lots of babysitters.
