New Years Resolutions

Like most people, one of my resolutions is to get into shape and lose all this baby fat that I have acquired. However, if you are like me I really don't have the resources to go out to a gym so I need to workout at home. So here are some of the workouts I enjoy that really work you out.


I love turbo jam. It is fun and upbeat and has a killer ab workout. Also if you have trouble doing crunches turbo jam does a lot of core workouts standing up so you get a great ab workout without lying on the ground.


I absolutely love The Firm. They have a bunch of different versions. I have the first called The firm and I am borrowing my sisters called the TransFirmer. They are both awesome and the cool thing with these workouts is you will never hit a plateau because they incorporate weights in the workout so if your body gets used to it you just up your weights and have a great workout. This to is up beat and fun. I love to move, especially when I work out, so if you are like me try these work outs because you will love them.
Another work out I would love to try is Hip hop abs. It looks fun. If anyone has tried let me know if you like it.

Well since we missed our yearly trip to Disneyland in December and going on vacation anytime soon is more than likely out of the question, me and my family are very Disney hungry. So since we can't go to Disneyland anytime soon will just have to get our Disney fix by going to Disney On Ice. We went last year to the Disneyland Adventure and my kids loved it. Raegan was still a little too young last time to fully enjoy it but I know this time she is going to have a blast, especially since it is a Princess one. We going tomoorow night and what makes it even more fun is Grandma is coming with us!! My kids(and me) are going to have so much fun!

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year

I know I am so late on these but like everyone else I've been busy and lazy. This Christmas was not at all like I planned, we ended up being stuck at home Christmas Eve because the day before Ethan woke up with pink eye. I felt so bad because we isolated him in his room because we did not want the other kids to get it or Matt because he is still on probation at his new job. So I felt bad, I think I would have rather have had the flu or ear infection because at least he could have been out with us. But no worries we put a TV and VCR and his V-Smile in his room and it was all good. He even liked being able to eat his food in his room. Well Christmas came and went, the kids loved everything they got and Matts dad in St George wanted us to come up and didn't care that Ethan had pink eye so we took a trip up for Christmas dinner(which was soo good) grateful to get out. Then we came down to Vegas on Friday and gave family down here their gifts, but the big gift was the movie that Jake made for my mom and dad of their lives since last year was their 25th wedding anniversary. It was really good Jake did an awesome job. Then new years we just rang it in at home. pretty boring but with everything going around we just wanted to be home. It was really good though. so here are some pics of our holidays

I've Been Tagged!!
Ok I was tagged a while ago but I have been busy and then we rebuilt our computer, It has just been crazy. So here I go Susan.

1. What is his name? Matthew Gordon Stankosky(Bone-change it before we got married)
2. How long have you been married? 5 years this April
3. How long did you date? Well it depends on what you consider dating. We have known each other forever, he even dated my older sister in middle school, but we didn't get together until after he got off his mission in May of 2002. He was on the rebound, I was on the rebound so seriously we just were friends that hung out all the time then we became "friends with benefits" in Aug '02 and then we made it offical in Oct. and were engaged in Dec'02 then married in April '03! Sounds fun huh!!
4. Who eats more? Definitely Matt eats more.
5. Who said I love you first? I DID!! Wierd story that I am not sure I want to share but I said it first.
6. Who sings better? I would say Matt, He is definiely more confident when it comes to perform so that gives him more of an advantage over me. But he has a great voice!!
7. Who is taller? Matt is taller. He wishes he was taller than what he is but he is the perfect height for me becasue I am short so no matter what shoe I am wearing he will always be taller, Which is a big thing for him.
8. Whose temper is worse? I think we both have a temper but I can control mine more than he can.
9. Who does the laundry? Me, It seems like I am never done, and can I say I hate hanging clothes up!!!
10. Who does the dishes? I do the majority of the time, but if I have a lot on my plate He will help( no Pun intended)
11. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you are looking at our bed, Matt sleeps on the right closest to the door to protect me from any harm :)
12. Who does the cooking? Both of us. If I get to dinner before he gets home then I do the cooking, but if I didn’t then we both pitch in and get it done.
13. Who is more stubborn? Again I would say we equaly each other
14. Who proposed? Matt did, He took me and some friends up to Salt Lake after Christmas, we went to see the lights at the temple, we split from the group and went by the fountains and he made me make a wish and then took me around to the front of the fountain and written in pennies was Jackie will you marry me. It was so cute and romantic. he is definitely a keeper! :)
15. Who is more likely to admit when they are wrong? Me. I have to apoligize first before he will, or if he apoligizes first it is because he wants something in return. Boys!
16. Whose parents do you see the most? Mine, which cause some conflict but when Matt is at work I just feel more comfortable at "my" house. Sorry Hon.
17. Who pays the bills? I do. If Matt was to handle our bills we would have so many boys toys and no bills paid. I am the more sane one when it comes to spending and saving money
18. Who wears the pants in the family? He usually makes the final decision but after we talk about it unless it is something I feel really strong about.
19. Why do you love your husband? Wow I could be here forever. Matt is an amazing guy, he is funny, HOT, a great father, but most of all he has a huge heart. He is always wanted to help and serve others. He is an amazing husband and a great example to our children. I love everything about he. He completes me, He brings out the best in me, we just fit.
Ok, so now I tag
Mandy, Trisha, Brooke
