Snow...Shoeing, Sledding, & Shoveling

Yay for SNOW!!!

I took my baby snowshoeing up the canyon and since we happened to have our sleds in the truck we ended up sledding afterwards! Carl always comes with us in Klint's backpack, and then when we sled I put him in my coat. Sledding down the hill we would get tons of snow in our faces. At the bottom of the hill I would look down at Carl and see his poor little face covered in snow. He would just look up at me and lick the snow off my face!

Look at this beautiful "Winter Wonderland!!!"

Klint loves to go down the hill together, so this video is of our *last* run down the hill:

Bye the way people how the heck do you have TIME to blog?! I am busy ALL day long. Maybe someday I will have spare time. I can't even remember the last time I was bored. And because I know I won't blog again for awhile I'm "scheduling" my Christmas card post!

Happy Anniversary to Us!

This is one of my favorite pictures from my wedding day, not because it has many wonderful people in it that mean a lot to me and Klint (though that is very true), but because it is funny! You have to click on it to view larger so you can see everyone's funny facial expressions. Enjoy!

Carl was "Lost"......... for a whole 45 minutes!

On Sunday our friends Bryce & Beth were over at our place. Bryce had to run to our church for a choir practice. So when he went to leave I let Carl go outside with him (we often let him outside by himself). A few minutes later one of the little boys from upstairs came to our door and said that Carl was running down the street so Klint went out to get him. (He must have chased Bryce thinking it was Klint leaving) When Klint got back 10 minutes later with no Carl I got scared! So I got on my bike and rode all the way down (and back up) my street calling for Carl in the pouring rain! Meanwhile Klint was looking for him in the truck. It was lightning with LOUD thunder so I was thinking "poor Carl must be scared and wet by now." Mind you I was praying this whole time! About an hour after Carl had been missing I asked Klint to go back to the house and call for him again there. Soon after I got a call from Klint saying Carl was home! He had come back in the house by himself about 15 minutes before and had come up to Beth (but she didn't have a phone to call us and let us know!) Carl must have known he was in trouble or maybe he was just scared because when he came in Beth said he had his tail between his legs and his ears back! It was all my fault that Carl was "lost" for a whole 45 minutes, but I'm glad he's back. There was one crash of thunder that scared the heck out of me, so I'm sure it scared Carl half to death. Beth even thought lightning hit the house! So I'm glad I still have my little Carl and I'll be more careful from now on. I must not be a very good pet owner because this is at least the 3rd time Carl could have died because of me Yikes! So Carl I'm glad you're not lost or dead. The end.

Thank You for the Happy Birthday!

Thank you to my wonderful family and friends for giving me such a happy birthday! It was wonderful. Many visits, phone calls, cards, facebook messages, emails, hugs, gifts, and treats so thank you thank you! My birthday lasted seriously a week and a half with all the birthday wishes!

Klint picked me up after work and took me to the Outback for dinner and the mall (where he pretended that he wasn't bored while I shopped!) Then we came home and Bryce & Beth surprised me with a cute cake, and my favorite Bunny Tracks ice cream!

Bri surprised me at work with this beautiful fruit bouquet (that she made herself amazing!) and my favorite candies!

Doesn't it look delicious?!... And my friend, John, at work made me yummy crepes which he's been promising to make for 2 years! John is the inventor of the "Draw Collar" if you have a wood-burning stove you should check it out!

(I will soon post our Labor Day cabin trip which has become part of my birthday)

Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my 26th birthday today, so I was able to get a new Drivers License yay! I love getting new drivers licenses. I guess it's because of the fact that you keep your license for 5 whole years, so getting a new one with a new picture is refreshing! The Drivers License Division had sent me a renew-by-mail form to send in...BLAH No I wanted a new one! Besides a lot changes from age 16 (puberty nose) to 21 and again to 26 (although I did get one at age 23 after I got married). So I went back to look at my old licenses and thought I would share with you enjoy and Happy Birthday to me!
