Have you seen...

any of these documentarys? If not, you should watch them right now.

I watched these about 8 weeks ago.

I have been on a plant-based whole foods diet since.

That means NO animal products, oils and sugar.

I feel amazing.

And I know I am putting GOOD things in my body...things that were MEANT

to go in my body.

This is a lifestyle, NOT a diet. I have never been a diet person.

I will eat this way for the rest of my life :)

Im going to put some of the recipes I've been doing (per request) up,

so I just thought I'd give a little background to what is going on :)

Lately Lola has been...

Climbing to the top of this awesome climbing structure at a new park nearby...she has no fear.

(That is her at the top)

Loving sounding things out. In school they teach that when you "hit a vowel on the head" (with the line over it) it says its name. Guess what this one says...

Easter Bunny.

This ones a little trickier, but i seriously love her trying :)

Luke Skywalker (she hasn't quite figured keeping it all on the same line :)

If you dont know, Lola is OBSESSED with Star Wars.

Climbing the rope at Gymanstics...she climbed quite a bit higher than everyone else in class...yes, im bragging.

Riding around with an old friend in the old neighborhood on his little 4 wheeler.

lately ruby has been...

Learning how to ride a bike...and loving gymnastics (notice how ruby does the same thing everyime...not what they're telling her to do :)

A year ago today...

One year ago today Velocity Auto Sales opened.

It has been a CRAZY busy year, but also an amazing year.

I am so grateful for a hardworking, dedicated and talented husband who made this happen

(Of course with help... :) Here's to another great and successful year

as they open a SECOND location soon!!

Sand angels

Somehow we ended up at the sand dunes again this weekend.

Little Sahara is only an hour and a half away (a lot nicer when you're taking kids)

and we borrowed Marcus' parents motorhome this time and stayed over night.

It was loads of fun.

The girls do love riding the razor, but I think they love playing in the sand even MORE.

We stopped and got out on some dunes where the girls made sand angels

and ran around and played with Brighton...(Marcus' partners son)

Ruby really loves to make messes.

Halfway home I let them lay on in the back of the motorhome instead of sit in their seats.

They were asleep in a few minutes.

Playing...this video makes it seem like it was really loud, but it wasn't. For some reason my phone only wanted to pick up the fourwheelers riding nearby.

Marcus loves his new toy. Check out this jump.

Spring is in the air...

Spring is coming!!  We were able to play outside a couple times this week...
I think it hit close to 60 on Tuesday...it was amazing.

Ruby checked out the engine of her Barbie car.


And we played hopscotch!  Lola filled in these numbers all by herself with no help...

 

 

 

 

Barb or The Death Star

This is our fun new TOY!! we LOVE it. But I told Marcus we needed to name it. He wanted to name it the Death Star. I told him it needed a real name. And until he came up with one I would call it Barb. Hopefully he'll think of something else soon because Barb doesn't really fit it (:

We took it down to the sand dunes by St. George this weekend. It was AWESOME. Best part is we can ALL go at the same time! The girls love it :)

Sequence of pictures...riding around a bowl.

These sand dunes were great because there was rockiness as well. A little moab and a little dunes.

We went with Marcus' partner, Chris, and his family. It was super fun to have some other people to enjoy it with :) Chris bought one too.

Hiking around a bit...Lola and her posing...

Our family

"Ta-da!!!"

The Beauty of Refinishing.

So I have been in the process of redoing our bedroom for awhile now.

However, its really hard to go shopping for decor and such with kids.

I cannot focus.

Anyways, I'm slowly making it there.

I have been looking for a new dresser...preferably white or some shade of turqoise.

As much as I love the look of older refinished furniture, its not always the most pracical.

The drawers are often too small and not deep enough and stink like moth balls.

Then I found out my favorite little consignment shop closed down

and that they were now just doing custom refinishing work.

I asked for a quote on refinishing our dresser and mirror.

$200.

I thought that was a STEAL for this big dresser and mirror.

Done and done.

I LOVE it. Its like a whole new dresser for 200 bucks!

And they did an amazing job.

I'm on the lookout for new knobs now...but it might take a couple more months :)
