Fun Times

So today was so beautiful outside we just had to enjoy it! So after church this afternoon, We went on a Picnic! just the three of us. I had already planned to do a BBQ this week, for Monday cause it's suppose to be equally as beautiful AND warmer! But it was too hard to stay inside today, we just had to get out.

Scott and I posing with Rocky Dog!

Don't we make a cute family!

We took pictures of our yummy food

to make you jealous.

My parents were down this weekend. While they were here,

they bought and delivered the last part of our Christmas to us!

Which is the new screen door! I was so excited about it, that was for

like the first two hours of working on it. These projects just

take to long, for my short patients. ya know?! Anyway . . .

Good thing I had my level headed, strong willed, hubby to do

most, if not all the work! Thank you honey for installing my

screen door! and thank you Mom and Dad for spoiling us

this Christmas, we both LOVE it and can't wait to use

the heck out of it this summer, and summers to some!

Nothing Funnier

This morning Rocky got into a bit of trouble trying to lick a old bowl of cereal clean. He was licking a bit to hard, and spilt milk pretty much everywhere! So he earned himself a bath tonight after work. He always scratches and itches afterward. Rocky has randomly done this before, but we finally got on camera! We think that there is nothing funnier, But tell me what you think. . .

a man of many skills

So in case some of you didn't hear. It has snowed here for the last three days! we have a ton of snow! Today was the first day with out snow, but it's FREEZING now! No seriously! it's 4:30 in the afternoon and it's only 15 degrees! BBBRRRR!

Scott was lucky enough to have two of the last days off. (so he could shovel all the snow off the driveway for me! Thanks honey!) but yesterday afternoon he was getting a little cabin fever, so he loaded up Rocky and they both went on a walk, down by the river/sports park. These are just a few pictures that I loved, and thought I would share.

This one is my favorite! Scott calls it "winters grasp"

Rockie's tough face!

This one is actually in our back yard. We usually load up the fish and put them in a aquarium, here in the office. I forget all about them! I must confess. But not Scott, he went out a bought a heater for them this year, instead of fighting them into the aquarium. Good thing, cause other wise it wouldn't of made such an awesome photo!

The finished lights

So, here is a short video that my Scotty made of the Christmas lights outside. This is his "finished work". As you can see he added the star and the lighted Christmas tree. Don't forget to comment if you want.:)

what we've been up to

So for Thanksgiving we stayed here. With Scott's work schedule it didn't make any scene to drive and hurry back. so we saved our money, from not driving, and went out to eat! It was a first for the both of us. We went to Mimi's Cafe, they had the most AWESOME sweet potatoes I have ever had! we even took home leftovers! It was so worth it! no dishes to clean, nothing to cook, nothing to plan for! it was nice.

Scott had been working for a day or so before Thanksgiving, to get all the lights up. He decided to go all out this year in case you couldn't tell. I even get home this afternoon and he has put on another addition (that I didn't capture on film, sorry honey) it's like a 7 1/2 foot star! On top of our house! totally decked out, with just over 300 lights! Amazing!

It was also a really nice day on Thursday. The weather couldn't of been better, it was so warm that even I, went for a little motorcycle ride with Scott! It's kind of tradition with my family the last few years, that the boys go out of a motorcycle ride, on Thanksgiving.

The middle picture of us and Rocky was taken on Friday night at the light parade. It was our first year of being there. Some of our neighbors had invited us. They even warmed us up later with hot chocolate at their place after. What awesome friends we have!
I went and got my nerd on, at the midnight showing of "New Moon" with my girlfriends. Holy Buckets, it was a whole lot crazier this year than it was last. Last year we didn't have to stand out side. This year, we were out side for a good 45 min! Yeah, I was pretty frozen, but I think it was worth it! I kept gushing about it enough that Scott took me that following Sunday to go see it again! Isn't he perfect! (Scott that is.)
Rocky is being Rocky. Cute and lovable and a good companion for Scott and I, we love him to death. We saw this coat and just had to get it for him! It fits all of us perfect don't ya think?! (it says "biker dude") cute huh!
We went up to see Ryan, Emily and the kids last night, and took Rocky with us. Emily made a wonderful taco soup and wickedly good cinnamon rolls! The kids loved Rocky, and so did he! We all had a blast!

I think that's everything for now. I'm quite proud of my blogging skills lately! I just need to keep on top of it. I know that a lot of people have the same problem, so I shouldn't be so hard on myself. But until next time. . .

I still love you!

My Mom text me Monday to let me know that, the Mo Tab had told my Dad no. :( Sad day I know! I wanted to post about it earlier, to let everyone know. But I just now found the time to do it.

So you know, and for the record Dad, I still love you! And I know that you are an amazing singer!

GOOOO TTEEEAAAMMM!

So for those of you that have never heard my Dad sing. your missing out! Cause I think he's amazing! I might be a little bias, but I love him!

He has tried out for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! I don't know if any of you are familiar with this process, but.

First you have to send in a tape of you singing Acapella.

Second, (if you get a call back) you get to go to Salt Lake, and take a written test. And I guess it's the ACT test, of music tests.

Third, (if you get another call back) you get to come to Salt Lake again, and do a try out in front of Mack Wilberg and other faces of the choir.

Fourth, (if you get another call back) you have made it into the Chorale on Temple Square. You know have 12 weeks of mandatory practices/performances. With two of those a week. So yes, that's right, there are 24 mandatory practices/performances you have to be to. After you have proven your self there. you'll be promoted to MO TAB! (Mormon Tabernacle Choir)

My Dad has always dreamed of being in those seats and being a part of that group! I'm already so proud of him for even just sending in his tape! But right now, in this try-out processes, he is on that third step. He will be trying out, tomorrow afternoon (11-7) in front of Mack Wilberg and other associates! I'm so nervous for him, I even have butterflies!

I just wanted everyone to know just how much I love my Dad and how proud I am of him already!

and let's not forget. . . . GOOD LUCK!
