I Strongly Dislike Running

Yet, I have signed up for 3 5K's this summer, one is next Saturday. What am I thinking? It's the guilt from that Easter candy. All 3 are for such good causes though, I couldn't pass them up. 2 of them my work is running and the other Tyler and I are running for a family in our ward. I started running again the other night with Cassie. It went well, we got the whole 3 miles in, so at least I know I can finish. Unfortunately, I think I crushed some vertebrae. I will be taking a quick trip to the chiropractor tomorrow and then will be ready to go again.
I'm actually not too worried. After riding along with Cass for up to 18 miles, 3 seems like cake. Even thought I would rather crawl then run, I do like how good it makes me feel to be active.
Want to join in on some of the running fun? Let me know and I can get you a link to every one of the 5K's I'll be running!

Happy Easter

We LOVE easter... and by we I mean me. I love the savior and all that he did for us and I love having a reason to celebrate him.
I also LOVE Easter candy! All 10 bags of it in my cupboards. It's awful, I know. I could easily eat a dozen cadbury eggs (which I did do). Easter eggs hunts are my game. We are pretty dang lucky to have some great friends who invite us their Easter celebration every year.
So this year, as tradition goes we went down to Payson (which by the way was voted #1 for best summer celeberation "onion days"... weird right?). We started off the fun with a kid egg hunt then an adult. I was so excited because Duncan, Dereks brother, left on a mission so we would have one less adult to compete with. However, Tiana brought her husband this year (he is usually traveling) and they worked us all!!! After the hunts we had a delicious dinner. I was in charge of dessert and I make this 2 layer cake filled with strawberries and cool whip. It turned out great.
Cassie had saved our rocket from last year so we set out to the feilds and shot off some rockets before ending the day.
While at the Andersons we also got up close and personal with 2 bee hive boxes. Cassie's father-in-law was just released from being Bishop and he decided to become a bee keeper. Now, I hate bees and will do just about anything to avoid them, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see this box up close. Brent taught us a ton about bees and I am glad we decided to check them out.
Sunday we went to Tylers parents and had more Easter celebrations with them. Our friend and relative (tylers sisters sister-in-law) got engaged on Sunday, what a way to celebrate. I love when people get engaged, I just know how awesome it is to be married and I'm excited for them to join the ranks.
Ok enough rambling... here are the pictures from the weekend of Easterness. Never mind the pictures wont load, maybe another time.
