StRaWbErRiEs!



Another reason why I love this time of year! All the yummy fruit is starting to show up. Hopefully it will counteract all the Easter candy I have been eating lately. I picked these up at Costco and they have been De-Li-Cious!

~SPriNG feVEr~



I have got 100% SPRING FEVER! Too bad I can't ditch work like I used to ditch school this time of year ;) I love this time of year when we spring our clocks forward and the sun sets later. We celebrated this great day by dusting off the grill and having a barbecue. It was also our annual kick off for our Sunday walks! Something I always look forward to when the weather is nice.

Matchy-Matchy


We watched the Jazz beat the Mavericks Monday night at the ESA. We also got to wear our MaTcHiNg shirts...we are now tRuE Jazz fans. It was an awesome game. Unfortunately, Kirilenko was hurt during the first quarter with sprained hip. Hopefully he will be back soon.
gO jAzZ!!

Time for New Snow Pants?


Anyone who snowboards knows that you spend a lot of time on your back side...not necessarily from falling but rather to strap in your boot to your binding after you get off the lift. So, after a great day on the slopes we headed to the car, took off our snow gear and headed inside to use the restroom before heading home. Matt informs me as we are getting in the car to LEAVE...this is AFTER we had walked all around Sundance...that my backside was all wet, right in a prime location. I did tell him he was about 15 minutes too late telling me! Apparently my 10 year old snowboarding pants are not too waterproof anymore. At least I know I gave some people a good laugh at my own expense :)

sPrInG sKiInG!


I LoVe spring skiing! Thursday was a beautiful day so we decided to make the most of it headed up to Sundance. It was a great day...warm, no lines, and the snow wasn't too bad on the back side.





It was a bLaSt!!!

Happy Birthday G-ma

***I can't take credit for these pictures. I took these off my cousins blog. Thanks Tami :)


Last Saturday we had a birthday party to celebrate my grandma's 84th birthday. It was so much fun to see cousins and aunts and uncles that we don't see very often.


Before


After

When it's your birthday you can do what you want with the cake! Some of the great-grand-children wanted the flowers so my grandma helped cut them out. What a great grandma!

My mom did these center pieces that were so cute. Peas in the bottom of the vase!

Tag...

Laura tagged me so I guess since I have nothing else to post about I will grant her wish.

A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B: Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

10 Years Ago: Senior in High School. I was a soon to be an "adult" and thinking I was awesome.

On My To-Do List:
Work out (check)
Go to work (check)
Update blog (check)
Watch the Jazz game
Watch the biggest loser
Watch American Idol
Watch the BYU basketball game
Play the Piano
Make lunches for tomorrow
Check email
Go to bed...I know this is some life I lead. What a great question to answer. It really points that I watch too much TV and really have boring life.

5 jobs I have had:
Hmm...what does having a "job" really mean. I can think of 3 jobs I have had but quit because I wanted to go boating instead. Real responsible I know :)
1. Dillard's...quit after 6 weeks because they wouldn't let me have the time off to go to Lake Powell
2. Foot Doctor Receptionist...quit after 2 days because I about puked when I had to watch the doctor cut out an in-grown toe nail, and we were going boating
3. Sizzler...showed up for 1 shift but never came back...again the boating thing.

Those were back in my "irresponsible" days. I really can hold down a steady job.
1. Pizza Factory Server (worked there for 1 1/2 years and quit to concentrate on school)
2. Program Manager at Jenny Craig (quit to go to graduate school)
3. Taught Tennis, Bowling and Running at BYU (stopped teaching because I got a job at Novell)
4. Health Promotion Specialist at Novell (going on 3 years!)
5. hmm...I guess I have only had 4 stable jobs in my life. Yes, I know a very long answer to a simple question.

What I would do if I became a billionaire: Spend all of it on Cadburry Mini Eggs...really what kind of question is that? Doesn't everyone have about the same answer?...quit job, buy big house, buy big boat, buy big car, give lots away, but lots of shoes and clothes, save lots, etc.

Bad habits: What an uplifting question! How many should I list?
1. I watch too much TV
2. I can't go to the store without "browsing" the candy isle
3. Every time I go to the store I buy candy...the "browsing" always turns into buying.
4. I have a candy drawer that Matt discovered about 3 months ago.
5. I love holiday candy but once the holiday is over I want nothing to do with it. I still have an unopened bag of candy corns from Halloween sitting in my candy drawer and a bag of candy hearts sitting in my cupboard (I guess I have a candy cupboard too :)

Things I enjoy:
Summer, Running (especially in races), the pool, diet coke, boating, Lake Powell, spending time with Matt, going out to eat and baking things that are bad for you (cookies, brownies, desserts etc.)

Things people don't know about me:
1. I am a germaphobe...I am constantly washing my hands, using sanitizers and asking myself "what has that touched" or "where has that been" The worst things for me are escalator railings, buttons on an elevator, airplanes (or any type of public transportation), money, gym equipment (I bring my own Clorox wipes) and shopping cart handles.

2. I am not a very social person. I would much rather stay home than go to a party or a large social gathering.

3. I love T.V but don't really like movies unless they are chick flicks. I know this is strange.

4. I don't have a gall bladder. I had it removed when I was a senior in high school.

5. I love running marathons. My goal is to be in the St. George 10-yr club and I am almost 1/2 way there!

6. I can't go to bed without flossing my teeth. One time I was so tired so I just brushed. After I was in bed I couldn't sleep because it was bothering me so much that I didn't floss so I had to get up and floss anyway.

So now that you have a learned that I am a germaphobic, sugar loving, t.v. addict I will tag Jenny S., Katherine (I know you were just tagged but this one is different), Julianne (this is to help her with her first blogging post), Nikki, and Nicole
