Evacuate the Dance Floor!

Since Aunt Decca is in dance, a new craze has hit our family. We turn up the tunes and "cut a rug". Here are some sweet moves provided by Buzzy! (I think he got them from his dad).

Pretty Easter Dress

Since next week is Easter, I decided that Riley should wear her pretty Easter dress (provided by Aunt Janelle) to church this Sunday. Her handsome escort was her daddy.She thought that Daddy needed a little extra primping before they went out on the "runway".

And she obviously thought Mom could use a little help, too!

First Day of Spring

We had a beautiful day on Saturday. Riley and I decided to go and watch the boys ride. Ev on "Whiskey". While we watched/waited for Dad, Hy decided to bust out his bull riding moves on the "hot heels". And Riley decided to eat some sand.

Then Ev got out another horse and decided to work it as well.

Mmmm...love this guy working his horses :)

And for the final ride of the day, Hyrum "shared" Jasper and showed Riley how to ride a pony for the very first time!!! Welcome, Spring!

Did you wear green?

Aunt Decca didn't. When she came to exercise, Hyrum and Riley were prepared.

Exercising....

Ever since Riley was born, I've really wanted to get in shape before I even think of having mas ninos. I think it's partially the whole getting older, but also b/c I want to do so many things. I'm planning on doing the 5 mile hike at girl's camp, hiking to Mt. Wheeler around my birthday, running a 10K and hiking the Grand Canyon this fall. I've been working on what I eat (my biggest struggle) but I've been exercising a lot more, too. And I feel great!
Here I am with my mom (a huge inspiration) and when she came to visit me she made sure to bring her workout clothes. Anyway, we laughed b/c we were look-a-likes. Who knew? My goal last month was to run 3 miles in 36 minutes. This was my time....

I actually cried. I'm not competitive, I've never considered myself athletic, and yet, I'm really working on diet, exercise and running now. So, when I didn't quite make my goal, I was so disappointed. But I'm getting closer and feel better.

So many of you are running, staying in shape, etc. all while being super-busy. Any advice for breaking the 160 lb. barrier that I've faced for the past month?

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!

Family Vacay!

We got to have a little break from the ranch as a family this past week. We went to the Winnemucca Ranch Rodeo and Stock dog competition. It was really fun for us to watch. I also was so excited to be close to a Wal-mart. Is that pathetic or what?
The only pics I got were from the hotel, but it was so much fun to swim with the kids and just relax!
