Psycho Blog
Okay, so if you ever visit my blog shortly after I do an new entry (or 4 or 5) and you see multiple copies of the same pictures in super giant size, there is a reason for this besides I am really bad at this. I probably am really bad at this but there is another reason too. I usually blog on my computer and when I do, the pictures don't always show up so I keep putting them on until they do. I can't see all the weird stuff until later when I go on my laptop and see crazy, giant pictures and sometimes four or five copies of the same giant picture. The pictures are all there, I just can't see them. I can't tell you why this happens but I eventually fix it. Unfortunately, sometimes it is after half a dozen people have stopped by my blog, which may explain why they stuck around in the first place. Hmm.
Biking and Shopping, Shopping and Biking
A few months ago we finally got a grocery store in our town. Now we could shop without driving for ten minutes. I know, that isn't really too far but it is so nice to have a store where we can quickly pick up a few items. For years I've been hoping for the day we would have a grocery store and I could get on my bike when the weather is nice and go shopping. It was a simple dream but simple dreams can be pretty great. So for my birthday Brent got me a cargo trailer and today was the inaugural run!
I love this thing already!
Eating Clean!
So I was watching all of these documentaries a while back that were all about eating clean and healing your body through eating really healthy food. It inspired me! Mostly because I really love crap like that. I should have been some sort of dietician sociologist. Does that exist? So I was trying to eat clean too. I took a bunch of pictures to inspire me to keep eating clean. No, I don't eat great everyday but more often and I've been working out really regularly. I'm starting to see some results and I really do feel much healthier. So I know you want to see all of my pictures of my food, right? Right????

May Days
May has been busy! The end of the school year always is. Zoe graduated from elementary school. Isabella finished Jr High and is on her way to freshman year in high school! Noah finished third grade and made it on the competition soccer team. Which apparently means soccer 24/7 around here.
There was the mini marathon for Zoe and Noah at school, Zoe took 4th place in the 6th grade. We went hiking for my birthday-it was planned to be a little hour long hike or somewhere around that. Instead we ran into this trail to Lake Blanche up Big Cottonwood Canyon that was 5.6 miles round trip. We ended up hiking for 4 1/2 hours! Almost all of it up hill. Brent and I were sore for the whole next week almost. It was a great accomplishment though. 
Zoe and her friends on their way to Dare Lagoon Day.
Zoe and her BFF at 6th grade graduation. She gave one of the speeches! We are so proud of how hard she works in school!

Arches!
We spent part of Spring Break in April at Arches National Park and Moab. It was lots of fun! We saw the Delicate Arch and went on a little Colorado River run (cold!), hiked a lot, climbed a lot of stuff and spent some time at the pool (it had a water slide, the kids' favorite part!) We even found a couple of restaurants that had gluten free dishes. Polenta lasagna, yum!
