T3 Workout Video Shoot

Here are a bunch of pictures from our workout video we shot last week. Can I just say what an amazing experience this was? I worked with the best team! They were all so nice, funny and encouraging with each other.
I worked with some of the fittest people I've ever met before! Surba, my friend who put all this together (it's his baby) put us all on a very strict diet a week out. We lived on chicken, fish, raw almonds, egg whites and lots of veggies. I think we were all so focused on our diet and worried about what we'd look like on camera that we didn't think about how hard the workouts were going to be. If you know Surba, you wouldn't expect anything less from him. As we sat and watched them film the first segment, we all panic and started eating donuts, bagels, cookies, etc.. for energy to get through them. These workouts were tough! Of course the hardest one I was in we had to keep re shooting because either it wasn't right or ran out of tape. I got pretty bruised up on that one. My hips were all bruised and swollen. It looked pretty funny!
All in all, it was an incredible experience! I'm so honored I got to be a part of this and can't wait to see the video when it comes out! If anyone wants a really tough workout to get them in shape, T3 is what it is called. Check it out!

Here we are most of us, being super cheesy

This is day 2 with the rest of the crew

I know some of these are blurry but I thought they looked pretty cool




I felt like I was so super cheesy but the camera men kept telling us if we felt too cheesy, were doing it right. I guess we were doing it right!









Our buff camera crew. They were so much fun to work with!

Ya, I don't really know what we are doing here

Happy 4th!

The 4Th of July might be my favorite holiday. Some people think I'm crazy. What about Christmas and Thanksgiving?! Yes, I love those holidays! The hustle and bustle, the yummy treats, the serving, the parties, etc... But I love the 4Th because it's summer and you get to barbecue, go swimming, watch fireworks and it's just laid back. There isn't a lot of stress involved. Just good food, family and hanging out. What's not to love?

We had a great time yesterday. We had a barbecue at my parents house. I tend to post so many pictures so I apologize for that. It's just hard to narrow them down.

Getting ready to do a few fireworks of our own

Here are picture of Thomas watching the show. Hilarious!

Feeling brave in the beginning....

He ran back to have Alan hold him. He started to get a bit nervous. He wasn't quite sure what to think of the whole thing.... (P.s. He loves his Uncle Alan so much!)

Trying to be brave but just couldn't bare to look...

That's it! He had to go in the house but still wanted to see the action... (love his little nose pressed against the glass. Priceless!)

Feeling a bit more brave to watch the show with the door open.

This shirt is meant for me but whatever! ;)

My Dad was a mission president in Dallas, Texas 1990-1993. Every now and again we get one of his missionaries to come see us. Elder Eliason (I know he's not 'Elder' but he always will be to us) came to see us. He was one of our favorites. Shh, don't tell! He spent a lot of time with us since he was on of my Dad's assistance's. I'm so glad they came. They made our day much more entertaining! He's a prosecutor for a living and we sat around and heard some of his cases. Very fascinating to me! This is him and his cute family.

Then off we went to the see the fireworks in Sugar House Park. We love this tradition! Every year we walk down from my parents old house to Sugar House. It's about a mile or 2 walk. We love going and being in middle of the fun and action. Plus, they put on the best show! This year was extra special because it might be the last year they do a show. I am all about traditions so it will be hard to see this one die. Guess we'll have to make new ones. Here we are watching to showing...

Memorable Moment...

We had Justin last weekend and he did the cutest thing. Everytime I think about it, it makes me laugh. It's been on my mind all week and I just had to blog about it so I wouldn't forget it.

He really wanted an ice cream cone from McDonald's so that's we did. We went and got him one and that was that. The next morning I was making breakfast and as I opened the frig, there was his cone with melted ice cream all over the frig. I just laughed. I thought it was so cute that he wanted to save his ice cream, not realizing what would happen to it in the frig. Kids to the funniest things, don't they?!

*This is a picture of him at the age of 3. I just love it and since posts are better with pictures, I thought I'd post it.

**Side note: My friend has been planning on filming a workout video to sell on the market. He wants to eventually have an infomercial, do local TV appearances, etc.. I feel so honored that he asked me to be in his video. I feel inadequate to be in this video next to him. If you knew him, you'd know why. This guy is in crazy amazing shape! When he works out at the gym, people stop and just stare at him because he's that amazing. I still can't believe he asked me to be apart of this but am very excited! We film this Wednesday and Thursday (July 1st and 2nd.) I'm excited and nervous! Should be a fun, memorable experience! Wish me luck!

Memorial Weekend

Ever since I can remember my family has been going up to Snowbird every year for Memorial weekend. We hang out, go swimming, play games, etc... I was especially excited this year because we haven't had Justin on Memorial weekend in the past and I really wanted him to experience my family's tradition. He loved it! We played Rock Band on the Wii a lot of the time. The first picture of my brother in law Dave is hilarious! Couldn't resist posting it!

My brother Dayne rockin it out!

Their faces crack me up!

Thomas' new favorite thing to say is 'just kidding!' Adorable!

One of the most memorable moments for me was on Monday. Justin had fallen asleep with gum in his mouth. He had it all over his forehead, pajamas and hair. As I tried to get it out he kept crying. Poor kid! I put him in the tub and asked him to be as brave as he could so I could get the gum out. Christian (my nephew) comes in, shoveling skittles in his mouth. He leans over the tub and here is how the conversation went:

C: "Justin, you have to be brave! Now close your eyes and go to a happy place." All the while shoveling skittles in his mouth while half of them are falling into the tub.

J: Closing his eyes, "OK!"

C: "So what's your favorite ride at Lagoon?"

As they talked I was able to pull that gum right out. It was such a funny conversation between two kids. I had a good laugh over it! The best part was the fact that he was trying to eat skittles and talk at the same time so half of them ended up in the tub. Pretty funny!
