Celebrating V-day with a Bang!

It was a cold and snowy day but the boys were not to be deterred from shooting up a few cans and random objects. I personally think it is more fun to watch the boys get all serious about it then to actually participate in the shooting. I wasn't initially thrilled about spending valentines this way but it turned out great. We always have fun when we are with our friends.
I actually hit the target I was aiming at.
It was a great view of the lake and the mountains
Who will actually get the skeet?

Rock Gym

This past Saturday we went rock climbing at Momentum Gym with Justin's brothers family. John and Heather are awesome and made Justin totally upset with his lack of skills. I have never tried to hide the fact that rock climbing is not my favorite mostly because I start shaking and hyperventilating ten feet off the ground. My first climb was the same as always. Afterwards the next three climbs I did better mostly because I ignored the designated path and just found the next hold. Justin can't wait to go back and since we got two free passes while we were there I think it will be soon.

Giddy up

Over Human Rights day Justin convinced me to take advantage of the day off and give our horses some exercise. I was not to excited about riding around in cold weather all day so I wore a million layers. The day turned out to be beautiful and the west dessert provided a great backdrop. Thanks Justin for dragging me out of the house.

Newest Purchase

We bought a horse puller, boat puller, stuff hauler and a new toy for Justin. It was my granpa's truck. An 89 Ford F250 with 60,000 miles. My grandma drove a hard bargain but we finally settled on a price and brought it home last week. Thanks grandma for parting with something that holds many memories of your husband.

Jumping in the New Year

Look we are at NY
The newest additions to the group

We rang in the New Year at a rocking party hosted by Brandon and Carrie. Brandon had a confetti cannon that shot confetti everywhere even through the tiled ceiling. We had so much fun and can't wait to get together with everyone again. Happy New Year everyone.

We were so excited we just couldn't contain ourselves.

Christmas Vacation

Justin and I have both been loving having school and work off. Life has definately taken on a slower pace this last week and I am dreading the start of work and another semester for Justin. It is a good thing we have one more week to play. Christmas seemed like such a blur for us. It was here and then it was gone. We spent a lot of time with family and friends. Last Sunday we were able to watch my friends TJ and Michelle bless their baby. It was so much fun to see them again and to be able to spend time with the Watson Family. Christmas eve we partied with Justin's mom and had an excellent dinner. I had made a quilt for his mom (thanks gma and mom for the help) I was so happy that Diane loved it. It is always hard to give gifts they can't exchange for something they really might have wanted. I was rewarded with several great sweaters and tupperware that I am going to use ASAP. Christmas morning we woke up and exchanged our small presents to each other. We bought a digital SLR that was our big gift. Justin gave me some perfume and a new bunny cage for my rabbit. I gave him IPOD speakers, 3 gallons of ice cream from Leatherby's, a movie and a Barnes and Noble gift card. His Dad spoiled us with great tickets to WICKED this spring. I am excited, Justin is still a little leary that it is a musical. We had breakfast with my dad and were given costco money. This will be used in conjunction with our rebate this spring for something most likely a t.v.. My mom bought us a camera backpack that will hold our SLR, point and shoot and our video camera. She also gave us clothes and a deep fryer, scones here I come. We were really grateful for all of our gifts this year. We have also enjoyed spending more time together. I hope that all of you had a great Christmas as well.

The post Justin kept bugging me about

A little over a month ago we watched Justin's nephew, Logan over night. He was so much fun to watch. He came to my volleyball game and cheered me on. He watched Cars and made us laugh by quoting the whole movie before they said the lines. But most importantly he rode the tractor with Justin. I am not sure who was having more fun Justin or Logan. Logan kept talking about it after they were done but so did Justin. They were pretty cute on the tractor together. We had such a fun time watching Logan thanks John and Heather for letting us tend.
