Spring Break....Utah Style

Yes, it's "Spring" Break....but we are wondering where spring went. Just a week ago we enjoyed some lovely warm spring days. Now.......

THIS! The Kids had a BLAST playing though! They threw snowballs at each other....(and the house!) We tried pulling around in the sled but that is some wet snow! Then the kids decided to build a snowman! Surprisingly, they worked well together on this. No fighting!! Yay!! And the final creatation. Yes, Ellie's eyes are closed. We tried several pictures and they all came out that way!! And after, they came inside....so wet! The snow suits kept their bodies warm and dry, can't say that about the suits themselves...or their hair! Outside, it was snowing lightly the whole time. It was the nice wet snow. You can see Ellie's wet hair. Oh what a fun morning! Had to enjoy it before it melts...... if it does!!

No Sugar!!

So in yet another attempt to get healthy I've been avoiding junk foods and candy. It's been a few days to almost a week now. I don't miss it. Honestly, I was happy to give it up! I've been walking with a group a few days a week (most of the time :-) ) and trying to work out at home. I don't crave that stuff when I work out.


So far, no headaches with the lack of sugary junk food. I like that. I have been eating fruit, so that may help. Yes, you still get sugar but you get some good stuff with it too at least! I borrowed a friends Zumba DVD....talk about a blast! Love that! I can't dance to save my life but I still have fun. I bet I look absolutely ridiculous! Good thing it's early in the morning at my house! :-) It gets my heart rate up, makes me sweat and I feel so energized after! What a blast!! (I still have yet to try the longer workout so we'll see what I say after that!!)


Best of all with the no sugar....is none for the kids too! Sadly, it really didn't make THAT much of a difference in their energy level! They still wear me out and are just as crazy!! Oh my life.... I love it!!
