VEGAS BABY!!!

Ok I've never liked Las Vegas. But Vegas with Herbalife....was....AWESOME!!! We had SO much fun that the next Leadership Development Weekend (LDW) will be there again in June!!! I'm so jealous that Ryan will be the only one going since I will be too close to delivering our baby boy. Oh well it will be worth it!

Since LDW was in Vegas, Ryan and I along with Helen Huntsman (our business coach and close friend) Tom Bradley and Kathy (more distributors with HBL) ....I forgot Kathy's last name.... were able to drive down. Even though my legs swelled a little, it was SO much better and less costly than an airport!

We stayed at the JW Marriott Resort and Spa!!! Our rooms would have been $400.00, but Debbie and Steve Combs (Founders of PTI) got them for $109.00!!! Thanks guys! Our rooms were HUGE!!! p.s. Debbie is the one in the pictures with the balloons. It was her birthday!

We trained Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But we also partied Vegas style on Saturday night!!! Can't wait to see all you guys again!!!

Isaac's Baptism

Isaac Dean Hartle was baptized on December 5th, 2009 in Rawlins Wyoming. It was such a such a spiritual experience to be there with him and share in his decision to become an official member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
















Isaac asked Ryan to baptise him, then asked his step-dad Chris to confirm him a member. Afterwards Isaac was crying and when we asked him why, he just said he was so happy. Everyone could feel the spirit so strong! That of course made us cry too. We are so proud of you Isaac!!!

Thank you to those who came and those who came in spirit! I know Zachary (Melanies son) was also being baptized that day, so most of my family weren't able to make it. And a special thanks to Grandma Merkley who tried to come but ended up in bed sick :) Isaac loved your gift of the Baptism Rememberance book. And thank you Grandma Lois for the scriptures with his name on it.

A pup named....Tater!!!

Santa was a little late this year for Ryan. But it was worth the wait! This little puppy is Tater...like Tater Tot! Ha ha ha I know weird name, but it fits him SO well! He is a cross between Pomeranian and Chihuahua, and he is 2 1/2 months old. (Thanks for the spelling Cassie!) Jace is already jealous that my attention is now not entirely on him, but I know that it will only help him this summer when the baby gets here.

Here are a few pics. Enjoy!

Thank Heavens for Mr. Clean Magic Eraser!

Sickies

Hey everyone! I've been meaning to post pictures of Isaac's baptism, Christmas, and New Years, but Jace had a very bad cold for a week that he passed on to me. Of course since I'm older and have lots of luck, my sickness turned into an ear infection with strep throat. All is on the mend, so I will be posting something soon. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Love,

Katie
