Pole Dancing is fitness???

Image
 I have started a new hobby, pole fitness.  Yes, it is pole dancing in a pole gym, and Yes, it is AWESOME!  It is actually very athletic and takes a ton of strength and coordination.  Some people are actually lobbying to make it an Olympic event, think gymnastics on a pole.  At my gym, La Bombe, there are 2 rooms with 6 poles in each room.  There are no boys.  There are mirrors on all the room so you can watch your form, and the best part...mood lighting!  Colored lights make you feel like a rock star. I've been going for 3 weeks.  It is hard work.  A lot of pole is lifting your body or supporting yourself in some way.  I've been doing a bunch of sad, sad pull ups.  I am such a weakling!  However, I have gotten a little stronger, I'm hoping to get to be able to pull myself high enough to invert (go upside down) on the pole in a few months.  I have also been working on spins, which are my favorite thing ever!  I love the sundial spin, the fireman spin, and the ice ska

    Last Saturday I went with one of our good friends, Jill, to take her Bridal pictures.  It was so fun.  Her mom and sister came, and Porter came to help me.  It was a hoot! Her family is awesome.  She had a really fun idea to go to a local pool hall and do some shots since she and her fiance love pool.  I think they turned out very well.  We had her shooting pool, leaning on the table, and I even convinced her to lay on the table!  Huzzah!  After we were finished at FATS, (the cool pool hall in Sugar House) we headed up to This is the Place Heritage Park.  It's a memorial park for the pioneers that settled the Salt Lake Valley.  There are a lot of cute buildings in their pioneer village that are great for photos.  We ended up taking over 300 pictures! Wow!  So, these are just a few of my favorites.  I hope you enjoy them!

The Big 50

Image
 My sweet Mother-in-Law turned the big 50 last weekend!  We celebrated by going to dinner at Cafe Trio then to the Ute Gymnatics meet.  If you have never been to one, you need to buy tickets, now.  They are very exciting.  Although, that night there were a lot of falls.  A girl face planted off the high bars, ouch!  Afterwards we came back to our place for cake and ice cream.  Kenzie getting cake ready and Julio....ummm, helping her???  The molten lava cakes were delicious! This is Porter's Grandmother, Bea, his sister McKenzie, his Mom and of course the puppies and me.  I can't believe Bonnie is 50, I mean she seriously doesn't look like it.  However, I hear 50 is the new 30.  I wonder what that means for us 20 somethings.....we are still teens?!  Eeep! Speaking those little fluff balls in the front.  Daisy (the one on the left) had to go in for an unexpected surgery today.  She had a growth on her toe that I discovered last night, when she came in from

Logan!

Image
 This past weekend we went up to Logan for a day trip to visit our good friends Kim and Matt.  Kim and I have been friends since we were 5 years old in modern dance together.  Throughout our lives I feel like our seeing each other goes in waves.  Sometimes we see each other all the time, then life gets in the way and we go months without playing.  This is why we went to Logan.  Because I refuse to let some mountains and a long stretch of freeway come between me and one of my best friends. I have had this visit on the calendar for month.  I was sooo excited!  We got up super early on Saturday and drove up.  First we stopped and had crepes with Porter's Dad and Grandpa since they live up there too.  Then we headed over to meet Kim and Matt.  We chilled for a bit then hit up the DI up there.  There was a beautiful bed spread there that I wanted really bad, but Porter wasn't convinced that it was worth redoing the color scheme in our room for.  So, alas, I left it there.
