Sunday

BBQ

This weekend was full of fun BBQ's.  Friday we went over to our neighbor/friends house for shish-kabobs on the grill, that were wonderful.  The company was great too.   On Saturday we went to our friends house for steak.  Yummy!  Greg thought he ruined them, but I thought they were awesome.  Their little boys were so adorable.  After we ate we had s'mores over a fire pit in their back yard.  They were awesome too.  Their little boy stuck some of the marshmallows in all the holes of his little tykes basketball hoop.   I don't have any pictures from this weekend. I will have to remember my camera next time.  We had a great time this weekend. Thanks guys!!

Tuesday

Dusty and the car

Our poor Dusty today decided to finally take his chance when Spencer opened the gate.  He darted out of the gate to the back yard, into the garage, where his bone was of course, and into the road as fast as he could.  The little black car slammed on his brakes as hard as he could.  

I was in the house and herd Spencer scream.  I couldn't tell what was going on.  I ran down the stairs as fast as I could because I herd the loud screeching outside.  At first I thought something had happened to Spencer because Dusty came right to the back door.  Then two seconds later Spencer came running around the back yelling that Dusty had been hit by a car.  Our poor new neighbor up the street didn't even see him coming.  I feel bad for Dusty, but this one was his fault.   As Spencer describes it, Dusty ran with his bone in mouth right into the back wheel of the car.  He bounced off the wheel and the car ran over the bone. Poor guy probably thought he ran over Dusty. Dusty has a few bumps and scraps, but he is doing well.  I just feel bad for the driver of the car.  I would be crying my eyes out if I thought I hit some little animal.  

Let this be a lesson to all little kids. Look both ways before you cross the street!!

Monday

Elko

We took a trip down to Elko on Friday.  We had a great time.  On Saturday we drove up Lamoile Canyon.  It was absolutely beautiful.  This canyon was formed by glaciers and there are so many waterfalls.  I guess there are a lot of big horn sheep too, but we didn't see any.  We did see some deer and plenty of prairie dogs on our way up.  These pictures just don't do it justice.  





Our drive home Sunday was good.  I fell asleep half way and was rudely awaken by the sound of hail on the car.  It hailed so hard and there was about 3 to 4 inches of hail on the road.  It was crazy.  It's not a long drive at all either.  It was about 3 hours.  
Of course Spencer has to concentrate while driving.  I think he was a little tired.
More pics of the canyon.  There was a lot of snow at the top.  



Shopping!!

So my mom and I went shopping.  Do you know how long it has been since I have been like actually shopping.  You know besides groceries and the occasional I need a shirt or a pair of pants shopping.  It felt so good.  I forgot how good it is to just go shopping, when you aren't looking for anything in particular.  Even though the things I totally love don't look good on me.  I picked out some really cute things I think.  I have this thing with jackets.  I love jackets.  I have this black Roxy jacket that I have worn to death.  It is so comfy.  I bought this really cute jacket, a light weight one.  It is sooooo soft inside.  It's very similar to my Roxy one, just green and it's AE.  I bought a couple of things for work at New York and Company and my mom bought my little sister and I some tanks at Pac Sun.  I like them because they are not tight and con-finding.   I was on a natural high when I got home.  Some times that doesn't happen when I go shopping, as Spencer would tell you.  So if anyone is up for another shopping trip in about a month when I get paid again, let me know.   I didn't even hit the shoe store so that is a must next time.  

Finally Pictures!

Ok, ok, so I have been very delinquent in posting.  I am usually on the ball and reminding every one else about posting and wanting to see more pictures.  So, now they have fairly nagged me to get something on my blog.  I am waiting to get some pictures of me and Spencer from my little sister and some family photos we just took on Mother's day.  Here are some from Easter and of my little sis. 
Spencer and I, well let's face it we got bored and Easter would not be Easter without coloring some Easter eggs.  Although the Easter Bunny did not come to our house this year and hide them.  We will have to report him to higher authorities. 

Here is my little sis, being my little sis!  I love her a lot. 
 Boys she is single, but you have to go through an extensive application process to get to her and I hear there is a long waiting line.

 (more like waiting to pounce at the first sign of any finished cookie left unattended)
Our nephew Ryan and his delicious cookie.  He was so proud of the amount of frosting he could get on one cookie.
Angie, caught red handed in the cookie jar!
Yummy cookie and I decorated it!

Thursday

What happened to April?!?

It's been a while since we have posted anything. April was a crazy weird month for us. So we had Easter and then Spencer's parents farewell. People coming home from missions and people going on missions. Were trying to get a handle on life at the moment. Nothing really exciting to say the least. We helped our friends move into their new home on Friday. Well we tried. We got there after we got off work and they were pretty much finished. We did manage to play their Guitar Hero and thats when Spencer decided he had to have it too. I hope they are not mad at us for short sheeting their bed though! Spencer and I did have our 6th anniversary of the day we met and Dusty's birthday is today. He is a year old now. Still acting like a cute little puppy though. The really sad news that we have is that our cute little parakeet died. I didn't think I would be so sad, but I was. I cried. Spencer got him for me for my birthday about 4 years ago. We will miss little QT. I will have to post some pics this weekend of our April.
