INTRODUCING...The newest member of our family...

This is Snowla!!!......

TOTAL PICTURE OVERLOAD SORRY!!!

ha ha ha so i bought tator a little santa outfit but i guess i underestimated his size, it was too small and he just stodd there stiff. me and bo about peed our pants!!!

this is our little charlie brown christmas tree, it looks alot fuller with the lights on but any bigger and you wouldnt be able to walk into the family room....honestly

this was so cute they were taking a nap together but right when i clicked the picture tator woke up.

oh my gosh, has anyone been to village baker in west jordan on 90th and redwood?? it is the BEST food out there. literally....it is so fresh and big, and pretty cheap but we are having the bbq chicken pizza for dinner and this salad and im so excited!!! there is only one but i sure wish they would build another one!!

oh and for my work party my dad took all of us to the roof for dinner and then the david archuleta christmas concert. i am not a huge fan of him but it was really really good actually. but my dad actually grew up with davids dad and so i have met david quite a few times cause my dad is his dentist. but i was floored by how many screaming girls/women there were!! i have never seen anything like it, i didnt know he was that liked?!
but i stole this picture from my friends blog cause i didnt really think to plug my camera battery, didnt really care i guess ;)

but thats about all that we have been up too for now :)

I am going to see this tomorrow, and am quite honestly really excited!! i loved the books and the movie, and have been anxious to see this!!:)

well nothing too exciting has happened around here, i am just super excited about christmas this year for some reason, it just needs to snow so it feels more like the holiday season!!!...but we are trying to sell our cute little house:( it looks like a little doll house i love it, but when i get into the nursing program i wont be able to work, so we just need to find somewhere cheaper. hopefully it will sell though!! ha ha bo was gone for halloween and i didnt want to dress up all alone so i just dressed tator up, since he is a weiner dog i figured it would be fitting for him to be a hot dog for halloween! he looked so cute and he actually didnt really mind it..... :)

oh and has anyone heard of the snuggies that are blankets, with arm sleeve things??! well they have them for dogs, so i bought tator one cause i thought it would be funny, and i didnt think to look at the color so i took it out and it was pink!! bo hates it, he probably thinks i got the pink on purpose but tator actually likes it, it keeps him pretty warm, but wow is he one spoiled dog!!

This is Priceless!!

Bo is out of town hunting all week in South Dakota til sunday, i hate it when he leaves, me and tates get so bored and start to argue. I cant wait to see him, time slowly rolls by when you want it to go fast. But if anyone wants to play, i am free!!!:)

ha ha this is where he camps out while i study. :) i sure love him.

About a week ago i did a little bit of canning. I made spaghetti sauce, and canned beans with my mother in law, and she did tomato soup and gave us a couple then i came home and did strawberry and raspberry jam, im pretty proud of myself, it is actuall really good! it is so easy too!!

ha ha and bo put tates in the washer, he was so scared. :)

and today was my brothers farewell, he leaves in 2 weeks to estonia! he gave a great talk, he will be an awesome missionary!! but he had so polynesian friends and their families made all of my family a leigh and we put ours on tates when we came home , and of course, he tried to eat it. (of course i forgot to turn the picture)

this is the fam. :) we are going to miss him, but it will be over before we know it. im so excited for him though!!

Look at this ONE harvest we did!! we have done probably 6 more before this and we still have tons of spaghetti squash that arent ready yet but wow...how are we going to eat all of this but mmmm,....,it sure is good.

HA HA HA HA me and my friend saw this strange vehicle park and then 3 men with skirts got out of the car and some english guy asked what the bears were all for and they said it was all of their "road kill" HA HA HA make the picture bigger and see the one on the tire! so funny!!

This is the big 'ole bruiser my husband killed!!

This is what my husband was away for a week for! I guess it paid off!!

He was pretty excited, this is the biggest one to date! :)

Hunting Season Has Begun!

A couple weeks ago me and bo and tates had a little fire in our backyard and roasted marshmallows. it was so fun! this is the fire pit my very talented husband built us. :) if you every want to come over and roast with us let me know, you are more than welcome!

Second, poor little tator has his little friends cut off. he had this bandage on where the i.v. was, but..he didnt even skip a beat, i dont think he realizes they are gone yet!

And last but not least this is me and tator on our way home from hunting down south(the pictures are backwards i messed up). but bo is staying rest of the week. we were there all weekend and it was really fun! but i miss bo already :(

This is just a big creature that landed on bo. it was so gross!!

Tator absolutely loved being outside! if you cant tell, he has tree sap stuck in his paw, he had it everywhere!!! he was so dirty it was gross but he didnt care!

oh and we were driving around on the four wheeler and saw this beauty! it was a huge bobcat not even 50 yards from us. it was pretty cool!

we went to a cemetery by where we were camping, and there were the raised graves everywhere! most of them were unmarked and the marked ones were from like the 1800's and most were little kids. it was pretty sad.

and this was the HUGE group of elk we saw! its not a very good picture but there were lots of them and two big male elk it was way neat we were so close you could hear them bugling to each other! but i didnt kill one but thats ok i still had fun! now i just have to wait for bo to get home....its going to be a long week!

WOW alot has gone on since i posted last so beware: THIS IS A LONG ONE!! i went a couple weeks ago with my sister in law cami and her two kids to thanksgiving point to go see the animals and mary loved them!! she got to feed them and ride the ponies too!

Will wasn't too sure about the heat towards the end of it. :)

Ha Ha and this thing was so ugly i had to take a picture of it it was some kind of goat and it had huge horns and a way long beard and way long eyebrows that hung down ha it was ugly, poor thing!

They got to ride the ponies, even will rode and he liked it for a little while! :)

They had a horse drawn carriage that mary wanted to ride so we went on it and it just takes you around a little bit.


We then went to Bear Lake last weekend with bo's family and it was so much fun! his parents rented a cabin for us and his sister and her family brought the boat.

This is Cute little kennadi posing for the camera :)

We were there all day on friday and got fried! me and bo wakeboarded but of course i forgot my camera both times so your just gonna have to trust me ;) we did pretty good i might add too!

Jodi thought of the cutest idea to tye dye t-shirts for everyone and they turned out so cute! this is the whol clan right before we left:(. it was such a fun nice weekend. we hope we can do it next year ;) thanks camille and Jim!!








And last but certainly not least......my little brother got his mission call!!! woo hoo! he is going to the baltic mission. its in estonia but it include latvia and lithuania its right next to russia he will be speaking estonian. i am so excited for him he leaves october 7th.

Thats about all we have done the last couple of weeks, if anything really exciting comes up ill let you know! :)

Our fourth of july weekend

This wekeknd we went down south camping for the fourth of july weekend and it was a much needed break it was so nice. the weather was perfect and it was fun just having me and bo and tator together for a break!

He is so handsome! :)

this is our little camp spot it was perfect just tucked away from any and everybody.

Ha Ha we bought tator this gay little backet to hook onto my bike and he didnt like it so much. ha ha it was way funny though he was way nervous!

we of course had to go fishing on our way home!:)

oh and this pushy antelope was just camped right off the road (hence the car right behind it). i got pretty close and i thought he was hurt at first but no he was just takin a break cause he eventually got up and pranced away.

eww he is so cute! he was such a trooper the whole weekend and loved being outside runnin around and eating rabbit poop and cow pies! he was worn out and pretty much slept the whole way home. it was a fun and much needed weekend away!
