P90X

Matt and I are doing P90X.

When I first heard about P90X I was a little intimidated, not quite sure what I was getting myself into.
I heard twice that the workouts will make you cry yourself to sleep at night.

Tomorrow will be day 30!

What do I have to say about it now?...

It's one of the best things I have ever committed to.
I love the time spent working out with Matt in the mornings.
I'm thrilled that I have actually been able to wake up and work out at 5AM in the mornings.
It has helped me eat smaller more frequent meals. I actually eat real portion sizes now. No more feeling bloated after eating too much.
The videos are fun.
Love Kenpo! Look like a dork doing it ....but Love it.
I feel great!


P90X Intro

Hayley's Homecoming

My little sister is not so little anymore. She is growing up so fast. Last month she went to her first High school dance. Homecoming 2009.

As a gift, I took her to a salon get a professional up-do. She loved it.

Her dress was adorable.

Happy Birthday.

Where does time go?

It feels like you were just with me and yet it has been over 5 years.
I still think about you everyday.
I miss ya.
Happy Birthday.

Lava Hot Springs

Only Four years of marriage and I can't remember what life was like before US. Our life together is everything I could have ever asked for. I won't lie...Marriage is work. But what we have...I wouldn't trade for the world.

We spent our anniversary in Lava Hot Springs.

We
Relaxed, Played with the pups, Took afternoon naps, Floated down the river, Made Pancakes, Listened to Music, Took Deep Breaths, Cuddled, Almost bought a Lottery ticket, Walked Main Street, Browsed Shops, Seen some deer, Stared at the Stars, Mooed at the Cattle grazing in the yard, Played Cards, and of course Soaked in the Hot Springs.

Breakfast on the patio


Family Pictures


We woke up in the morning to find a backyard filled with Cattle. Sam's instinct was to herd them...it was hilarious.




On Monday, we decided to take the VERY LONG way home and explore some small towns.


Matt taught me how to drive his manual 5-speed car.


There were a few towns we visited but did not get a picture of the welcoming sign. We also stopped for lunch in Malad. Of the towns we visited, Corrine was the most appealing. Quaint and small but still a 15 minute drive to civilization.

I would LOVE to live in a small town some day.

Car Camping

Willow Flats. We've been there several times. This time however, was the first time that both the weather and the road allowed us to explore beyond the two camping spots we were familiar with. The camping site we found was AMAZING!

Backing up a little. We arrived after dark and set up camp at a site we had stayed at previously. It is not our favorite place to camp, but since we no longer have a 4-wheel drive our car camping options are limited. As I crawled into bed...we received a surprise visit from our VERY LOUD, VERY DRUNK, hillbilly of a neighbor. Neighbors and camping don't really go together in the first place but like I said before...our options have been limited. But THIS neighbor.. This neighbor was ridiculously obnoxious! Needless to say, we went exploring for a new site first thing in the morning and was thrilled with the site we found.

The colors in the wild flowers were BRILLIANT.

Happy Anniversary to US!

4 Years....and it just keeps getting better.

Butterfield Canyon

After a morning at the dog park, we took a drive up Butterfield canyon.

It was surprisingly very green.

Overlook of the city.

When we arrived home, we declared it bath time.

I'm convinced that there is no word that Gabe hates more than "Bath". Once the word "Bath" is said out loud, a game of hide and seek is sure to follow as he is gone and hiding in an instant.
The entire time you are bathing him he looks up at you with his pitiful, pouting eyes making you feel like the worst person in the world for wanting a clean puppy.

Sam doesn't love bath time, but he also doesn't dread it like Gabe does.

The weekend prior...Ben, Sheila, and Christy were over for dinner.
