We had the opportunity to race last Saturday night in the Zombie Chase! The boys were excited! We drove 45 minutes out to the middle of nowhere (Eurkea, UT) and headed into a ghost town. The race started on the side of a mountain, where we climbed into some empty train cars and waited …

Dirty Dash
Saturday we took our kids to participate in an event called, The Dirty Dash– an obstacle course through the mud! Erica complained a bit. I had to bribe her with the promise of pizza when it was over, and then she was great! Plus!! We found ourselves on the evening news! Before the race however, …
My Workout’s
For years and years, all I ever wanted to do was run. Recently (maybe the last 2 years) I’ve become increasingly aware of the importance of strength training. I can not lift weights on my own though! I have to do it with a friend. If she can’t meet me at the gym, I literally …
Back on the mountain
This was the second time for Wade and I, and the third time for the kids. We went back to Park City for their special deal of getting a lesson or lift ticket for $25 (including equipment rental) if you are first time skiiers… which we are! Wade is really good at snowboarding. Erica is …
Snowboarding!!
When all your kids are school age, and your husband works an un-traditional schedule, you can do fun things, like go snowboarding on a weekday! We signed up for a snowboarding lesson through Park City. It was a gorgeous day, probably 40 degrees and blue skies. We had 5 people in our class. We learned …
Arches and Halloween
We spent Thursday in Arche’s National Park! We had a fabulous tour of The Fiery Furnace, guided by a park ranger. We also did our own hike up to Delicate Arch. This year for Halloween we had an inmate, a baby, and a Star Wars Clone.

Courtesy of the good folks at a blogging conference, Wade and the kids came up to park city for a BBQ dinner (sponsored by Busch’s Beans) and riding the Alpine Slides! We had so much fun. We rode the lift to the top of the mountain, which was gorgeous. Then raced down the mountain on …
No more nuts
Body for Life, day Who knows what…. Looks like I’ll be adding Almonds to my list of foods I can not keep in the pantry. Too bad, because Almonds are so healthy. But I completely lack self control around these things. I have no idea how many I actually ate. I’m making my husband take …
My body for life meals- Thursday
I felt like I didn’t have 6 mini-meals, but 6 MAJOR meals today! I’m OK with it though, because this morning Eliece and I biked 12 miles and ran 5 miles. We have a triathlon coming up mid-May. So, before the workout, I doubled my breakfast. 4 Egg whites (with mushrooms) and oatmeal with milk …
Thursday- Friday. Body for life day 39 and 40
Just catching up here. My problem in life is balance. When I have something important to do (such as study for a big test), I can not do ANYTHING else until that thing is over. All my energy goes into that one thing. I can never study for an hour a day, and do other …
