Ah-h-h-h .... I did it!

Darcy and I decided it was definitely time to take our exercise plan more seriously. We started at the end of March and made our plan to exercise every day and eat in a more responsible manner. Health Equity was encouraging their employees and so I decided I wanted to take the challenge. In only a few months I was able to get my weight back to where it was and our eating habits had changed dramatically and I can't even tell you how good food tastes when you eat what is good for you. It has been five months now and I am happily loving my weight, exercise routine and all the food I get to eat because it takes so much more energy to live this life style. I seriously have nights when I can't wait to wake up so I can go through my exercise because it feels so good. I know I have never felt that before. I thought my lower weight would hinder my golfing but actually I am driving further than I ever have. So maybe it's my new muscle that makes the difference!! In addition, I've been doing 60 push ups and sit ups each day and it seems to have made the difference. I am hoping this also makes me ski better - just more FUN on the way in a few months.

My Homestead

After golfing, we went to dinner and to a lawn concert at The Homestead. Sam Payne was fabulous!! He's certainly a 'chip-off-the-old-block'. He reminds me of a version of his Dad! What a great evening. Nothing better in the whole world than spending the weekend tucked away in Midway golfing, dining and great music. FUN, FUN, FUN. We finished the night with a ice cream brownie and hot chocolate.
It's a Wonderful Life.

Forever Mine


We took a break and golfed at 'home' in Midway on Saturday. I love to golf on Wasatch. What a fun course and the view is simply amazing. It's always dangerous for me to spend much time there, I never want to leave.







Darcy's Birthday Party 2009



Lots of food, swimming and grandkids. Don't forget the birthday cake. So much fun. I love summertime.


Can you believe Darcy's another year older?? A very young 57 year old. He wanted a swim party and a pool basketball game for his celebration. I hope he was happy with the outcome of the game! I'm not sure who won and who didn't. I was standing by with a phone in case I had to call in reinforcements. Darcy & Terry - what a team.

Down in Dixie

What a fun weekend to one of our favorite get-aways. We are so 'at home' in St. George. On Wednesday, we left and arrived very soon at our weekend away. Love to eat, relax on the golf course, eat, lay around, go to Tuacahn, and of course, have cookies before bed.

Jeff & Jamie and the kids stayed overnight with us on their way to Disneyland. We had such a good time. We sat on the front row of Annie and Savannah was so engaged in the play, she was so funny. What a cute little girl.

We played golf at Sand Hollow and, my personal favorite, Entrada. I can never get enough!! Believe it or not, I think I improve every time I play Entrada. Well, maybe I won't go quite that far... It's a good excuse. I need more practice - let's go again.....
