updates

BEFORE!

AFTER.....grew just a little

There was a problem that developed with the cats and their condo as you can see it became a bit crowded as they have grown. so we have now added a new luxury suite to thier lovely home :O)

I also have an audience as a get ready in the mornings. Not in the pic are the the other 2 animals.

and i think these shots can be decribed by a few verses of a familar chirstmas song....... "...through white and drifted snow OH!" Very pretty awesome view though!! I love our new house! Lucky for us the bishop showed up later with his tractor to plow us out.

Merry Christmas!

Disneyland

We took a week long trip to disneyland last week. I tried to update while we were there but Shanes computer crashed. So here are some pics. It was nice weather and really fun to be there again for our 1st anniversary! They gave us "happy anniversary" pins and the employees pay you special attention and give you things and tell you happy anniversary. it was pretty cool . For our anniversary dinner we ate at a resteraunt inside the pirates of the carribean ride. It makes you feel like your outside in the bayou and has clouds and shooting stars and frog noises.

Test Fire

There was a test fire at work today for the RSRM (reusable solid rocket motor) for the space shuttle. The video team invited me to view it from a hill on plant that puts you a bit closer to it. It was so loud up there! Way cool to see it. Afterward they had to film the plume of smoke as it clouds. Unfortuatly it went right over our heads and dropped icky mud/rain/junk on us. Dirty but pretty cool!

Jack Jack

Well silly us.... we got a puppy! He is a golden retriever named Jack. He is pretty cute and so far so good. Cats are adjusting but slowly. He likes to play they dont. He is our christmas gift this year from Santa!

Home Sweet Home!

Ok I am finaly making a post on our blog. We moved into our first and brand new house last weekend! We love it and here are some pics of it. We still dont have internet so will have to post the others of the back yard another time. (at this moment I am "borrowing" internet from our neighbors) For those of you that dont know.. we now live in Garland Utah which sits close to 1-15 near tremonton. Its about 20min ouside of logan. My Dad came and painted for us and it looks so so nice!! Thanks Dad!! Remember you still have 3 more bedrooms to paint :O) Hopefully next summer we will have a fence up for my horse so I can ride. Everyone rides out here it seems like. I posted a picture of the view from out our front window so hopefully you can see it. Our cats as you can see our adjusting very nicely and are quite spoiled here. I also made the floral thing myself and i am pretty proud of it so big pat on the back to me :O) So if you are traveling to SLC or anywhere else stop by and see us!!!

Yippie Yiiiee Kiiay Kiiioooo!

Mike, Mom & I went team penning in Downey Wednesday night. We had sooo much fun. Didnt pen our cows but still alot of fun!! Check out the video to see our sweet skills! We also penned that night with a mixed team so that was cool. Mom is doing so awesome with her new horse! We got cute matching shirts and roasted to death for the first hour or so. My horse did so well, I will really enjoy riding him. (yes Dad MY horse) :O)

Fishing

We went fishing at the American Falls Resivoir this past weekend. I just caught a MONSTER fish and Shane caught some too. (no pictures to prove it though ha ha) I got some pretty cool pictures when we were out there too. It was a really fun weekend!! I dont know why I didnt take more pictures at the camping spot.

More of the Cute Kitties!

I dont have much else to post other than my cute kittens. Here are some videos of them playing. One video makes me wonder why I spend money on toys when I can just give them a free grocery sack. They are getting big fast! You can tell in the video. One was taken today and the other was taken 2 weeks ago. Teva (girl) is not afraid of much and Thor is the snuggly one. :O) Thor got sick the other day from a reaction to his vacinations but he is much better now.

That is Thor with their pet mouse in the condo.

The Kittens are here!!!

I finally got my kittens! A boy and a girl. Thor is the boy and Teva is the girl. They are so cute together. It is so much easier to have two then they dont get so lonely. Here is a video of them playing and right after both the kittens and Shane fell asleep.

Roughin' It Memorial Weekend

We decided to go camping after all in Logan. It was pretty fun and we got to tryout our new camping gear. We had all the comforts of home including an Xbox. We had a good time.

Just for Teva!!

Here is the kitty condo Shane and I built last week! It turned out so good and it only cost about $57. A similar condo in the store would have went for about $200! We did a good job now we just need a kitty to play on it. She will be ready to leave her mom in about 2 weeks ( I hope!!). Our first married project together and we "almost" killed eachother :O)

HOLY COWS!!

We went to help Seths family today ,in Morgan, to tag cows and fix the little calfs. Luckily we got to work on the older mamma cows. Here are some pics of us hard at work tagging 100 head of cows! It was alot of fun and really nice to be out in the sun for once this year.

SLC Temple

We went with the Jacobsens to SLC to go to the temple today. It was a long but fun trip. Really nice day up there and took some pretty good pics. It was the first time Shane and I have been to the SLC temple. Really pretty!! We were also chosen to be a witness couple for the session so that was cool. I also messed with all the people there by the dissapearing edge pond when I "accidently" dropped my camera in. (for thoes who dont know we have a waterproof camera) It was funny! Enjoy the pics!

Playing Hookie

I played hookie from work today and went on a trail ride with dad. The weather was so nice and the new horses did so good! The picture with the town in the background is pocatello. We rode in the blackrock area. I attached a video so it will be like you are really there!! :O)
