Picture This

I have been getting so much "crap" about my dog poop picture

that I just thought I would clarify that -

NO, I didn't go outside and take a picture of Rusty's poop.

It's called Google-Images.

(I didn't take a picture of the cupcakes either - that was google also).

Come on guys- you're lucky I even blog -

who has time to take pictures of poo-poo.

(apparently somebody did - ha ha)

Dogs and Cupcakes

Apparrently dogs CAN eat 16 cupcakes
and not get diarrhea.

Rusty was fine and had lot's of energy that day.

In fact I had one of my best runs with him.

His poop was solid.

Darn dog.

Doggone Stupid

I was being good mom, wrapping Allison's birthday presents the night before, getting ready for the big day. I decorated the kitchen and made the cupcakes for her school class right before bed. My morning would be so smooth.

Allison awakens early and runs downstairs to balloons, streamers and presents on the breakfast plate. I hear her giggle with excitement. Then she runs back upstairs and asks me why I only made 8 cupcakes? There are 22 kids in her class. "Silly girl" I say, "I made 24 cupcakes, enough for your class and one for the teacher and student teacher." She continues to claim there are only 8 cupcakes on the counter downstairs.

So we all go downstairs for birthday fun and find the there truly are only 8 cupcakes on the counter.

"RUSTY!!!!!!!! *$%**~!!"

I will let you know when the funeral is.

It has been the coldest January that I can ever remember. I went to fill the dogs water bowl and the water wouldn't come out because the hose was frozen. What's that all about! So we decided that if we can't beat the cold, we would enjoy it!





We drove up the rim and enjoyed a day in the snow.




We weren't sure if Rusty would like the snow, but as you can see, he couldn't wait to play in it. He loved it!

The kids had fun throwing snow balls and eating snow, but we had to be careful, because Rusty made lots of yellow snow. Nathan kept saying it was lemonade snow. Yum!


We had a good time and can't wait to do it again.











I just got released from young womens, so we decided to do a family activity on Wednesdays, just because now we can!


We discovered the local rock gym. The kids love it and climb over and over again.

Man, am I out of shape. Three climbs and my forarms were on fire. I don't know how they kept it up so long.


It was pretty fun, and it reminded me of Aspen Grove and racing up the ropes course. Good times-

I,m Cold!

Brrrrrrr!!!
It's cold right now.

The high yesterday was 43 degrees and that didn't include the wind chill.
So Allison had a soccer game yesterday and team pictures. These poor little kids had to stand in line for half an hour, shivering in the wind in their little soccer shorts. What was even more sad was all the parents and families standing around in their t-shirts and flip flops huddled together, trying to block the wind. That was the longest soccer game I have ever been to. I just remember chattering teeth.
We don't know what to do here when it get's cold. Nobody owns a winter coat, hat's, mittens, scarfs, ect. I really don't like it.
In August, when I am cursing this God forsaken place as temperatures reach the 120's, would someone please remind me why I like living here. I don't like the cold!!
