Thanksgiving!!

Our Thanksgiving weekend was a little crazy than our average year. Because we had Thanksgiving at my in laws 2 years in a row we had to make up for it and do 2 this year at both my parents. So on Wednesday we had one with my mom. It was a lot of fun! We didn't have all of the traditional food sense we would be having that the next day. We did pasta tortellini salad, my fav, funeral potato's, and etc. I did make the best cheesecake I have ever made! I made everyone try it because it was also the hardest I have ever made and took me 3 hours to make, but was worth every calorie I ate! After dinner we played my favorite game CURSES! My step brother Josh and his wife Carrie were able to come up which I love talking to Carrie she always makes me laugh and there cute little dog Tux! He is a little black Chiawau that is so well mannered! Then my sister Melissa and her family came down from Idaho and I was thrilled because I haven't seen them forever and especially my new niece for a second at her baby blessing. But anyways it was so good to see them and all the kids! I couldn't believe how much Hannah had grown and Caleb. Gage is hilarious. Jaron thought he was funny to play with because he's a trouble maker.

So as for Thanksgiving Day got up watched the parade like I do every year. Jaron watched it with me for the first time ever. We did his paperwork for work while we watched it. Then we went to my Dad's for dinner. We had awesome food! My step mom, Polly had worked all day on all the traditional Thanksgiving food. Carrie, my sis, had mad our traditional homemade rolls that we always have to have. After dinner we visited while we cleaned up. The kids went and played guitar hero with uncle Jaron supervising. (I know scary thought) Gage loves guitar hero. For a 22 month old he's hilarious to watch whenever he sees guitars. After dinner I ran to Walmart with my sister to get some things before the crowds on black Friday. Then I got to go to work. Yeah! A great way to end the day! I went to work for 4 to 5 hours to get Landslide ready for the sales on Friday. We had to finish putting a shipment in and move everything around that's why it took so long for all that are wondering. But over all it was quite a day!

Cat in the Tree

So a few weeks ago I was at my dads house for dinner and the neighbors huge dog got out and went after my little sisters cat. Well her cat ran up the tree end of the story... You would think. No, Sam, my little sister, was worried her cat would get hurt and had to climb up after her. Every time she would try to grab at her the cat would climb higher or the cat would hold on to the branch for dear life. Well this went on for a good half hour or longer. Sam finally gave up and got out of the flimsy tree and 5 minutes later here comes her cat Callie by the door meowing for food. What were those fireman thinking in the 50's?

Kayne West so annoying

Kayne West is so annoying!! Like he thinks he's the coolest person in the world. Well news flash!! He's so not. He's a chubby guy that isn't. Last year he said he was bigger than Justin Timberlake... So not! Everyone knows that who ever Justin Timberlake collaborates with the song is a hit. Then come on these sunglasses are so not cool! Why would he try and make everyone believe that they are so great! Dumb! You can't see anything out of the stupid things! The only credit I give him is because yes I am a music junky and love it so I like his but HATE him! With his last release Love Lockdown he released it and it didn't go over like he thought, shocker he's not as good as he thought! So he went back in and rerecorded it so that is why it turned out to be a good song. It was a good reality check for him I think!

The Pond

This summer Jaron and I went on a walk to the pond across the street so Jaron could go fishing. What a great way to relax on Sunday afternoon! Roxy and Harley came with us. Jaron didn't get much fishing in because there isn't to many fish in the pond. But he was looking forward to it so much. He was using some of his Poppies fishing stuff and had bought new stuff so there was some disappointment there. But we ended played fetch with the dogs. Which is Roxy's favorite thing in the whole wide world. Jaron made her get brave and threw it in the water and swim after it. Harley wasn't about to go after the stick for a while and he would wait for her to get out of the water and still it from her. He finally grew up and got in the water. At this time we weren't sure if she was pregnant either because we never saw the dead officially hook and happen. Anyways so I thought she was and Jaron didn't. On the way back she was dead tired and if you know her she doesn't get tired so I knew there was something wrong and Jaron was giving her a bath and he's like feel her belly it's getting big. And we both started jumping up and down because we knew she was going to have puppies and she was already 4 weeks along.

My Puppies Have Left Me

All of my puppies have left me now. 2 weeks ago my runt, Tinkerbell, left me to a sweet old couple that call and give me updates on how her vet appointment went and training is going. Which I could never thank them enough for that because this process was much harder on me than I thought it would be. Then Daisy left Sunday, November 1, to my mother in laws which she is doing well and growing very fast! She is doing great on potting training and loving her new brother Scotty and Addison and Alyssa where her out all the time by playing with her. It is nice by being able to see her still. Then I we had Whiner and Fatso for a extra week with us. It was nice to have only 2 puppies around instead of 4. They were also the less feisty ones so they were easier to take care of. I did get quite attached to my little Fatso. She even knew her name as Fatso. She was a female version of Harley. We thought for half a second about keeping her even Jaron, but 3 dogs and training a dog right now was out of the question. I am at the store to much. But she would be the perfect to take to the store and just chill with me. But that wouldn't be fair to Harley or Roxy. So we had to give her up. We had only one call on them during the week. So Saturday Jaron went to puppy island and sat there all day with the rest of the people trying to sale there dogs until they were sold. Puppy island is a by Walmart in Lehi and there is around about to get into the shopping complex and every saturday you go there and there is someone trying to sale dogs. Fatso was sold early because who could resist her darling face! When Jaron called and told me I was working at the store and I just started crying. I knew I couldn't have her but still I wanted her. It was very very hard to let her go because she was my ideal dog. Not that I don't love my two dogs but she is a mixture of my two dogs how could she not be ideal to me. Then we sold Whiner and we had to wait for them to come get her so I had a few hours left with her and so I got to hold her and love on her and get my last few pictures of her. I loved her but she is exactly like Roxy and I already have my Roxy so I was cool to giving her to this great family that bought her. And that is the end of my puppy postings!!

First Snow of the Season

Jaron and I woke up to snow the other morning... BOO I am not a person who is love snow that much! My car is also not ready for the winter. I need to get winter tires put on because it is rear wheel drive and I have never owned a rear wheel drive car in the winter. I'm guessing I will be driving the truck a lot this winter. Which if you have ever seen me try to park that well that's a whole other story. (Like ask me how I got it stuck in my guarge and my neighbor had to come get it out one week when Jaron was gone!)

Anyways the snow was pretty when we opened our window from our bedroom and the trees across the street with the snow and the pond. I keep joking with Jaron I'm going to go ice skating on Utah Lake this winter because I know it will freeze solid ha ha. Even if it did technically it's across the street I would have to go through a lot of that weed stuff whatever its called cat tails or whatever. Because there is quite a few of those in between the lake and us and they are taller than me, which isn't very hard. But back to the snow it wasn't a ton at our house as you can tell by the picture and some had melted already. Which I was kneeling down by the snow trying to show how much there was but it really didn't work. Our dogs aren't the biggest fan of it all the time. We'll through them out in the middle of it and they'll freak and come running back it's great.

Now Opened

Landslide Clothing opened last Friday for all who didn't hear!! And if you didn't hear that it is probably because I have been very busy with the opening of it and getting it ready to open! Yeah though we did it!! Thank you to all that helped us get it there! Now we just have to make it successful. For our first week I think we have done pretty well. The traffic flow has been great! Everyone wants to know whats in our store and whats going on here. So come check it out and be one of those people and see my hard work! We are pretty kick ass!!

The Dog Man

Jaron was in charge of all 4 puppies the other night while I got their room ready for them. It remined me of a old woman with a lot of cats all over her. But we are kind of like crazy cat people right now with 6 dogs!

Roxy's puppies are freaking huge now! They are 7 weeks old and I am very ready for them to go home now! I will miss them very much but it is time! 4 pooping puppies! It's to much! My runt, my one that I fed and took extra care of, is the first to leave me which is the saddest because she is my favorite. She leaves me Saturday morning. A cute old couple bought her after there 15 year old yorkie had passed away. They named her Tinkerbell. They really have there work cut out for them. She is so feisty and play full and into everything!! Daisy leaves me Monday! I'm not sad about having her leave as much because she is going to my mother in law and will get to see her all the time and babysit her. It is making it so much easier on me knowing that I will always get to see one of the puppies forever and that is how I have been able to let go. She would have gotten the runt but Jaron wanted her to have one of the miracle babies. Which little Daisy is a miracle she was on the side walk that morning when we found them and now she was the fasted developing in everything. She is the smartest of all the puppies. She gets them all to naughty things and picks on them all. She'll have her work cut out for her when she goes to her new home with Scotty and Bozano and she's the littlest. Then our little fatso which Daisy has beat her at that and Whiner do not have homes to go to yet. We have almost sold Whiner 3 times and Fatso twice then the people just don't call back. It's very frustrating because we don't put them on KSL for a few days when that happens. Also being so busy with the shop and now the time has come for them to leave and now one is buying them. So after this weekend it will go down to at least 4 dogs instead of 6. That sounds a little bit better. They are also the calmer too so that is nicer. If anyone knows anyone that wants a yorkie send them my way!!

Landslide Clothing

So if you haven't heard Jaron and I are opening a skate shop! It's called Landslide Clothing and is located in Pleasant Grove Utah. We haven't opened quite yet, but hoping to open next week. Which is would be the 3rd week of October. I was really hoping that we could open this week but there have been delays and because of this we have moved the date back to next week and I am just hoping it is not moved back any further. We are opening the store with Jaron's older brother that experienced in this line of work as well. We are also carrying higher end clothing for women. It has been a lot of work to get it going but I love doing it. I didn't realize how much work it would be to get companies into our store. It came to a surprise to me the first week of phone calls and how much disappointment there was that not everyone was dieing to be in our store. Because come on we're freakin awesomee who wouldn't want to be there. ha Working on getting the building ready has been a lot of work! Jaron, Daniel, and I started with taking out the tile that existed and we did this by using ice picks and scraping the floor. It took two days and after quite a few blisters later we were ready get the glue off the floor. So we rented this buffer thing grinds down cement and we went across the whole floor and it worked better if I sat on it while someone pushed. Quite a few of us took turns. I'm sure it was quite a site to see. The floor looks awesome now with a acid wash and was totally worth all of the work. Then we painted which was the first major decision I picked out... well lets say it turned out to look like moab instead of red. I'm not aloud to make those type of decisions anymore. lol Now it's all just putting everything together. So now I am on the ordering process and picking out the clothes and it is a blast. I am just hoping I didn't pick out horrible styles. Today when we got our Silver Jeans in it was the most exciting! I had to try on every style we got! I will keep you all posted on when we open and you better come shopping when we open!

Princess Party

At dance s the tudio I work for we had a princess party for the girls in our class ages 3 to 7. We were seeing how many people would respond to something like this so we could have fundraisers for our competition teams. We had a excellent turn out and it was a lot of fun for the girls! I asked my friend Jori to come help, and my brother girl friend, Kim, that is in hair school and she brought a friend from school and her roommate. Which with out them I would've been screwed. My sister in law Alyssa also came to help out with nails and such. We had our older girls from competition team come help out. We had such a great turn out we did need all the help. We had a coloring station where they colored crowns, painting nail station, story station on how they became a princess, and then where they got there hair done. Well I thought I could be in the lets do hair station. I was with Jori and Kim and the other two girls that could do hair. We had 5 minutes with each girl and I have had no practice with little girls hair because the only kids hair I ever have helped with in the last few years are my sister in laws and their's are a little different than these little white girls with fine hair. So the poor girl doing hair standing next me ended up doing half of my girls too cause I would freak and wouldn't know what to do. I'm pretty sure she was annoyed. I was annoyed with myself. lol So I did a total of 2 girls hair out of 5 I attempted. My kids will be one of those ugly kids cause I won't know how to do there hair I'm afraid. I think I will stick to all chocolate babies then I won't worry. But anyways the princess party was a blast. I wore my old prom dress and Amanda the owner of the studio also dressed up so I wasn't the only old person looking crazy. The best part was when I came home Jaron got home right after me from 4 wheeling and ran outside in my dress and started yelling that I loved him and I missed him. He was so embarrassed the neighbors would see me dressed like that. I loved it so I kept running around outside and asking what his problem was really loud until he just hurry and went inside.

Pumpkin Patch

I went to the pumpkin patch with Jaron and all of his side of the family. It was a lot of fun! We went down to the Big Red Barn in good old Santaquin. A tractor pulls a wagon over the pumpkin patch and then you get to pick out pumpkin. Which the whole family took up almost the whole wagon because we all there even Grandma Jerline and Grandpa John. I think it's pretty much the coolest thing! Me and Jaron had to pick out the biggest pumpkins we could find and they were still connected to the vine. I could barely carry the freakin thing. Afterwards Jaron bought me a ton of fudge from the Big Red Barn that is to die for but there is so much it will last me for the next month or two. Then we all went out to dinner to Los Amigos in Payson. Our Waiter didn't believe Marcie and I when we told we came from Lehi and Salt Lake just to eat there. Which wasn't all true but was some what. It was great to be able to have the whole family there!

Wedding Dress

I have a princess party at my dance studio coming up and I was debating if I should dress up for it. So I was bored last night, because yes what am I suppose to do with all this free time while Jaron is gone expect play dress up. So I decided to try on my old prom dresses and see if the would fit sense I lost my weight from my obese first marriage days and with my new boobs. To my surprise I fit in them all. You have no idea how excited I was. Harley didn't know how to quite handle me parading around in a blue sequin dress calling all my family until someone picked up so I could tell someone the good news that I was no longer a fat ass! The lucky winner was my dad. I let him know that his money spent on those dresses were still going to good use though. I'm sure he thinks I'm a little crazy, but who doesn't right. So then the ultimate test came... the wedding dress! I never even took it out of my box after getting it back from the dry cleaner from the wedding. At the time I blamed it on not thinking I could get it back in the box and being worried the cake didn't come out of it after the horrible cake fight Jaron and I had while feeding it to each other at the reception. But really I knew there was no way I could fit into it and it broke my heart. I ballooned up after I got married, poor Jaron. So I was brave and pulled the box out of the back of the closet and took the dress out. It was the first time I had put it on by myself so it was tricky doing the zipper. It was tight that was for sure but I got it up. It was tighter than on my wedding day but it fit and that's what matters! Harley thought the blue sequins was much then all of a sudden there is a big white netting every and he can't walk cause it's every where I won't let him touch. it. I made sure I got some use in that too and watched a little TV in it too seeing as who knows when I'll ever get it out of the box again. No worries I did take a picture in it for proof and just so I could always remind myself that at least I did it once in my life. ha Yes you may laugh but it was a huge accomplishment for me!

We Have Eyes

My puppies opened their eyes two days ago! They are so cute now! It started with the Runt I looked at her and was like whats wrong with you and noticed her eyes had little slits and they were begining to open on Wednesday night. Then On Thursday morning I woke up and Whiner, and Daisy's eye's were doing the same thing and my Runt's were all the way open. I was like oh wow! It was crazy to watch the process! Fatso was last to join in on the process. I think because she is so worried about eating and that is it. lol She is cute but I'm not lieing when I call her Fatso. She has slowed down but the first week of her life it fit her quite well. All of their eyes are completly open and they open and close them and respond when you pick them up now or are talking and will open them. I'm not sure if they can see anything or how that works though. But they are getting cuter by the second and I'm wanting to keep them more and more! I won't but it is getting harder and we just are over the two week mark.

My house

We moved in the end of June into our first house! YEAH! I freaking love it here!! It is so nice to be in a house an out of a apartment. We love having a yard! We even have found that we enjoyed yard work surprisingly. Our house is in Saratoga Springs technically but should be in Lehi because it is on the side of Lehi and we are not all the way out there. Our house over looks the lake. It is very relaxing to look out my bedroom window on stressful days and see the view. I'll be doing yard work some days and here music and it is coming from a boat on the lake. I get jealous and wish I was out there! Harley and Roxy also love the yard to run in. They love to bark at the neighbor dogs which I hate. We have a walking path across from us and there are always notorious dogs walking there and so Roxy is always going at it and Harley is such a follower. We just built our oning over our patio for the shade and we plan to get a hot tub for the winter. Which I can not wait for to slip into after dance! Having a guarge is also a wonderful plus and not walking 3 flights of stairs! Grocery shopping just got easier! We have a lot of extra room now. We have our guest room now, and I have my scrapbook room. People always call them the babies rooms and say we should have them but they are already taken. So that will have to wait just a few more years. We love to have people over! Just invite yourself over because with Jaron's crazy work schedule it's hard for us to make plans so just come over and give us a few minutes over warning and we would love to show you our new home!!

Roxy's puppies are a week

If you haven't heard Roxy had her puppies! We weren't expecting them quite so early. She had two of them outside and then she was let in and was in the guarge and had the other two. When I went to put food in Harley and Roxy's bowls the next morning I saw two little puppies laying on the sidewalk. I just about had a nervous break down and panicked! Once they were rushed to the vet and warmed up they were as good as our two healthy puppies. Roxy was blessed or maybe I should say I was with 4 girls!! I had to give out little runt some formula for a little jump start the first few days to help her out. It has been a week now and all our puppies are healthy and well. Roxy is well also. She is so happy to be feeling better and running around playing with Harley and barking at the neighbors. (which isn't always good) She is such a good little mommy and takes such good care of her puppies!! She hasn't nipped at anyone. She does get a little impatient with me when I was feeding her runt and when I weigh her babies, but is doing well. She even allows Harley in the room to look at them. If he gets to close she lets him know though and he's very good at respecting her. I'm not sure if he knows what they are. I am very much attached to my puppies and have nicknames for them all but I'm to afraid to give them real names knowing it would be to hard. We are selling them so if you know anyone that is in the market for a yorkie let me know.

The top picture of Roxy is the day before she had her puppies, and also the fatso and the runt on their first day of life. The bottom pictures are the Fatso and the runt a week later!

So I decided to get a blog for all my friends and family that are to cool for myspace and facebook... I'm not quite sure what to put on here though cause I'm not cool enough for a blog. So if I'm doing it wrong you better tell me fast so I can fix how to do this!
