Hoppy Easter!

I know Easter was over a week ago, but I kept trying to post a slide show with a bunch of pictures over the last week, and for some reason the slide show wouldn't work. So I just decided to post a few regular pics of our fun day!
We went to Dustin's aunt's house for our first Easter Egg Hunt of the day. It was probably the first time Ko has really been on grass....he was a little unsure of the whole thing, but after awhile he forgot about the grass and became more interested in the eggs! Mom and Dad took turns helping him find the eggs. As soon as we would find one, all he would want to do was put the eggs in his mouth....he would get frustrated with us when we made him put them in his bucket so we could find more! When the hunt was over, Ko and Wyatt sat together and exchanged some eggs...it was too cute! We went to my parents' for dinner and another egg hunt with his other cousins. He wasn't too interested in this one as much because Taylor and Jayda found all the eggs before he could even find one! It was such an eventful day for Ko...before we could even get to dessert, we had to take him home and put him to bed!
These pics are all at Dustin's aunts' house. I haven't downloaded the ones at my parents' house onto our computer yet.

Our New Challenge...

Spring is in the air! Pretty soon it's going to be summer, and we all know what that means.....time to put on those bathing suits!! Last summer I had just barely given birth to Kohen, so I had a pretty good excuse....but not this year! It's definately time to get back in shape and HOPEFULLY look good enough to dare wear a swim suit out in public! I always whine and complain about how I don't look good anymore, and how I need to get back into shape...so Dustin and I have decided that it was time to get off our butts and actually do something about it! We ordered "P90X" from the internet and got to work! It's suppossed to get you ripped and in excellent shape in 90 days. It uses a technique called "Muscle Confusion" so that your body will never plateau, meaning your body will never get used to the workouts. The hardest part for me is the food...you can only have certain things to eat every day. I only get to eat one serving of carbs!! It's so hard because I LOVE bread and pasta! But I am trying to find ways to make it work. I can't say that I haven't slipped up at all, but my philosophy is that if you don't allow yourself anything, one day you are just going to freak out and eat everything in sight :)!!

I am now 18 days into it....72 more days to go!!! The workouts are hard, and sometimes I feel like it's impossible to find time in my day to do them, but so far I have done pretty well! Dustin on the other only lasted about a week or so....what a wuss! Hopefully he will start back up again at the beginning of next week! I will be keeping a journal entry on the sidebar of our blog...hopefully I can last 90 days! And if it actually works, I might even put a "Before & After" picture (I say "might" because no one really wants to look at a picture of the chubby girl in her bikini :)!!

Go Archi!!!

Well I hate to say it, but it's true....Dustin and I are OBSESSED with American Idol!! And we both are OBSESSED with David Archiletta....or as Randy calls him, Archi! It's not just because he's from Murray, or because he's kind of cute (a 17 year old kind of cute)......but it's because he has an AMAZING AMAZING voice!! On Tuesday he sang a John Lennon song, "Look at all The People" and I got chills!! His mom was crying, Paula was crying, and to be honest my eyes might have teared up just a little :) It was just such a moving performance and I hope he goes all the way...he definately deserves it!! Go Archi!

Our Weekend Trip to Sand Hollow

Last weekend we took a trip to Sand Hollow for the holiday weekend. It was so nice to get out of this nasty inversion and go down south where it's nice and warm! We set up camp when we got there, but it got too windy and a little colder than we anticipated, so we decided to go stay at my parent's house in St. George. It was nice to be able to go out and have fun in the sand, but to be able to go and take a shower at the end of the day! We took our four wheeler and Ko rode with Dall, Jess and Aspen in thier Rhino. He loved it....it put him to sleep every time we would go on a ride! I guess we are going to have to get one for our family too :) Other than the wind at night, it was great weather and we all even got some sun on our faces! Ko wasn't too sure about the sand...maybe he'll like it a little more next time when he can walk around in it! I can't wait for summer!!!

He did it!!

Since day one, Kohen has hated being on his tummy. And when I say that he hates being on his tummy, that is an understatement! Ever since he was born, he screams and cries during tummy time. We have tried to get him to crawl, but he hates that too! He either collapses onto his tummy or he just rocks back and forth and then sits down on his bum. We just kind of figured that he was going to go straigt to walking ( he loves to hold onto anything he can and walk up and down all the furniture). But last night he finally did it....he crawled!! He is still pretty shakey, but we were so shocked that it actually happened! After we shot this video he did it a few more times and he did a lot better when the camera was off. He has done it a few times today, but he still gets mad! This might just have been a fluke...we'll have to see what happens in the next few days....

A Beautiful Day!

Today was such a beautiful day! It makes me sad to think that we are getting another storm tomorrow!! I took a long nap with Ko this morning (I worked until 6:00 this morning so I needed a nap) and we woke up to sunshine! We haven't really had an opportunity to get out lately, so we decided to take a walk. Kohen loved it! He loves when the cool air hits his face...he just laughed the whole time. Anyway, I hope everyone has enjoyed this beautiful day and I can't wait until we can get more of them!!

Kohen was too busy looking at Rambo to smile, but he really liked our walk
