Two of my favorite people!
We dyed Easter Eggs at Dan's parents house and we tried using Kool-Aid. It's super cheap and it gives you vibrant colors, but I didn't feel like getting too fancy so we didn't to anything crazy. You dump a packet of Kool-Aid in a jar, add 1 cup of water and dump the eggs in. Yep, that easy! AND it smells good. Much better than stinky vinegar.
This is Dan. I drew it.
Dan and Carly made TNMT eggs... I wish we would have though about it sooner so we could have made the whole gang. Oh well. Next year!
My niece and nephew did their own kit, the kind you use a roller for. My niece made this little guy and named him Harold Jeffrey. Too cute.

Doesn't that look so good?! Well guess what. I stopped drinking it. We are doing the biggest loser at my work and I decided to stop drinking soda.
The contest. We are on teams, I think there are seven teams. Our team has six people, we had seven but one girl quit. We are currently in the lead, we have been doing it for 2 weeks and we have lost 33 pounds altogether. 11 of those pounds came off ME!!! 11 POUNDS. HECK YEAH! I have been eating pretty strict but still let myself cheat a few times a week. I know that realistically I won't be able to not eat candy ever again, so I'm going for a lifestyle change instead of doing a "diet"... The contest is 12 weeks long and ends in June. I probably won't update my progress until the end though. Wish me luck!

Mountain Biking is our favorite Saturday activity right now. Look how perfectly the bikes fit in my car! Dan has a bike rack for his car but his car needed some repairs so we had to use mine once. I love my XB.
We went over in Lehi two saturdays ago... It was a disaster. 300 mph winds and dust everywhere. But we did get this cute picture!
Our favorite place to go is up behind the Draper Temple. We went there Saturday. How amazing is this view!? And this is only right after we started. The view is better from the top but it was dark by the time we got up there, not very good for pictures... (and pretty scary for the ride down!) Plus it's fun seeing the place we got married the entire way down :) and this iPhone picture doesn't even do it justice. Not even close. It's a gorgeous ride and on the way down, the lights were on over the entire Salt Lake Valley. The temple was lit up and reflecting the sunset so it was purple and orange and absolutely breathtaking. I tried to take a picture but it didn't turn out. :(
We look pretty extreme right? ;)
This is Dan's sister and her husband. My bro & sister in law. AKA - Jaime and Mike. It was really fun to have Jaimie come with us, last saturday I was the only girl and keeping up with the boys was pretty rough. Haha. I love being up in the mountains, it's a killer work out and every single time we get done, we just talk about how much fun we had the entire way home. Going down hill I just pretty much scream the entire time because I'm going so fast, but Jaime did the same thing so I didn't feel TOO bad.

So there I am just running my little heart out at the gym, trying to beat my PB, my heart was set on it, I tell you what! I’m wearing some new running shorts, the kind with spandex built in. They are a little too big so every stride I take they just keep riding a little further up until they are so high I might as well be wearing a pair of bunchy undies. Totally inappropriate and super embarrassing but I’m not even going to let that stop me because I’ve got legs and right now I’m running 8 min miles and kicking some serious butt… THEN a pizza guy comes into the gym with 30-40 boxes of pizza. PIZZA. AT A GYM. I try to ignore it and power through my work out but I start to cramp up because these damn shorts are bunching around my abdomen and I start smelling onions, cheese and sausage when I’m really just supposed to be smelling sweat and air conditioning. I had to cut my run short and i almost threw up. Whether it was the shorts, or the pizza I don’t even know.. but what I’m really trying to say is this. What kind of gym gives away free pizza??? sabotaging my work out and I’m sure my fellow gym go-ers diets. eff youuuu.
