Chad & Bridgette were in town for a few days from Atlanta, so we decided to have dinner at our house with all the Mission Buddies & their families. Unfortunately, it was so snowy that only the McIver's & the Springer's made it. we still had a great time! Here's a few pics.:

Isagenix Christmas Party!

We've been to lot of great Christmas Parties this year- however the Isagenix X-mas Party was by far the best!! It was held at "Noah's" in Lindon last Monday & we had so much fun! The food was delicious, there was a Latin DJ- that played a great variety of dancing music (this was Laura's favorite part- since she loves to dance), & a Live Venezuelan Musical Group- "Harpa, Cuatro, y Maracas".
Here's a few pictures:

Tom & Laura taking a break from dancing to take a quick pic. Tom is learning some good Latin dance moves- so impressed!

Laura & Paolita dancing, dancing, dancing- we went a little crazy leading the crowd in YMCA & Macarena. It was so much fun!

I'm very impressed with what Isagenix has to offer, they are a great company- who in 6 years has become the World Leader in Nutrional Cleansing & is now an $800,000,000 million company based in Arizona!

All of us feel so energized & healthy after trying their Nutritional Cleansing Products! Not to mention Tom has lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks, my dad lost 35 pounds in 5 weeks, & mom lost 20 pounds in a month. You're probably thinking it's a diet- well it's not!! and that's what I love- 100% Organic Natural products that help you create a cleansing and nutrient infusion routine to optimize health, & release impurities from the body, so you feel younger and more energetic, & it naturally helps those that need to shed pounds loose weight in a very healthy & empowering way & those that don't, like me- it's actually helping me maintain my weight & gain muscle mass, & Andy & Sean love it too! I love these products we have all had incredible experiences because when the body is well nourished it functions correctly!
I recommend them to everybody who wants to have a long healthy life!

Thanksgiving 2008

We had Thanksgiving this year at our house which was absolutely great! The whole Cohen- Saczek clan came over and we ate & ate & ate! The food was delicious! and we had many sweet treats too.

Seany looked so cute in his Thanksgiving outfit! He also enjoyed the food especially Grandpa Cohen's fantastic Turkey which he makes every year!

Anticipating the food:

Andy, Cousin Eduardo, and Ellie (my baby sister):

After dinner we watched some movies and relaxed after a big meal!

Even Bailey made it to dinner- isn't she cute!

Gratitude!

I love the Holiday Season. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving and especially Christmas. It's such a wonderful time of year.
This year I feel so overjoyed with gratitude. I'm grateful to my Heavenly Father for so many blessings. I feel that everything in my life is coming together so beautifully.....I have so many wonderful people in my life! My life has a purpose and I feel so very very blessed.
Let's live each day to the fullest and lets tell the people around us how important they are and how much we love them!
Life is so extraordinary- Let's thank Our God every day, for the many wonderful things he allows us to have, the many talents he gives us to impact & touch people's lives, the incredible people that he surrounds us with that lift us up & teach us great things, and the little miracles we all experience day to day-- thanks to Him.

I'm grateful to all of you, for being my friends and family and people I can count on! Thank you!

Tom's 29th B-day!

I can't believe my hubby is almost 30, it's a good thing I'm still a couple years away!
We had a great day. We went to dinner as a family to the Olive Garden's & then came home to a small family B-day Party. Tom's favorite part was the "Tres Leches" cake I made him w/Daiana's recipe- which is so yummy it is by far his favorite!


Andy helped me decorate for the party & it turned out pretty festive.

 

Here's Andy patiently waiting for his food,

 

and Sean loving the fact that he can sip his chocolate milk out w/a straw.

 

Yummy! We all love Olive Garden's- especially their salad- yum yum!

 

Happy Birthday! Family picture (Andy fell asleep before we sang Happy B-day to Tom), he was really tired, he'll usually do anything for a sweet treat, but we couldn't wake him up- it must have been a long day for him!) Andy woke up the next morning and asked "Mommy why didn't you wake me up for the party?" Even he couldn't believe that he'd missed out on the fun.

 

B-day boy enjoying his Tres Leches Cake!

 

Sean enjoying his Tres Leches Cake too- so cute!

 

Next year I'll have to plan something a little more exciting- like a big Surprise Party or something..... Overall though we really had a great evening!

Treat Bags!

I love these treat bags I got the boys @ Pottery Barn Kids- so cute and they came engraved with their names!

 

 

Yummy Candy

The boys got a lot of yummy Candy this Halloween! This is Sean's bag = mommy's candy! Yes!
