I am in love with...the state of Montana!!

A couple of weeks ago Tom and I took a little trip to Bozeman, Montana. It was such a fun town and we just had a week together and relaxed!!! It was amazing! We went golfing in cold windy weather... Tom's idea. It was so cold but worth it! On the way home we decided to go to Yellowstone so we spent ten hours in the car and had so much fun! It was wonderful to have a week with Tom all to myself! I definitely recommend a trip to Montana! It was gorgeous!

Oklahoma... a month ago.

So I know this is way past the time, but I am finally getting around to updating my blog!! I had the opportunity to go to Oklahoma and take care of Mike and Heather (brother and sister-in-law)'s kids. It was so much fun being a mom of three for seven days. I now have a better respect for single mothers!! I had fun taking them to school, to McDonalds, their favorite, the movie, shopping. It rained the whole week so we found fun indoor activities.

This is Jacob, he is 7 and was such a good helper while I was there. He loves soccer and actually loves school! He is super smart!

Lily is 5 and will be starting kindergarten this fall. She is such a fun girl!!! She has such a fun personality and is such a little diva!

Leif as you can tell is the boy with many faces. He is so cute! He is 2, but not too terrible.

I had so much fun and I love them all so much! Thanks Mike and Heather for trusting me with your home, children, dog and fish. Especially during Tornado season... LOVE YOU GUYS!

I know I have a boring life!

I really have nothing new to report. I was just playing around with my new camera and got a good picture of Trigger. The picture with both dogs was harder. They were always doing the opposite thing.

This is Sam and Trigger...

Look how big he is getting!

Our lives have been pretty normal and mundane the last few weeks. Just work and more work! I am excited to get to go to Oklahoma and spend some time with my Mike and Heather and the kids! YAY! Tom is not excited for me to go because that means he has to fend for himself! It should be an interesting week for him.

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Easter this weekend!

Draper Temple

Today I got the chance to go to the Draper Temple Open House. I drove to Salt Lake and met up with my Mom, Dad, Grandma, Ben and Maggie. It was so fun! The temple was amazing! Very modern inside and gorgeous paintings. We had so much fun.

This is picture from the website, (I didn't want to carry my camera around all day). If you have not been there it is set so serenely up on the mountain surronded by huge houses. After we went to lunch at a yummy place in Trolley Square called Desert Edge. It is one of Ben and Maggie's favorites. It was a quick trip down and home again but totally worth it. Tom was not able to come with me due to some issues at the fire station but he ended up having a good day as well.

Nothing New...

I really don't have anything really to post but I decided to put an updated picture of our puppy Trigger. He has such a funny personality and is growing like a weed! I guess that is what puppies do.

Other than that we are just doing the same old, work and sleep and a little play. Tom is still loving the Firefighting part of life and is looking forward to a day long ride along with Air Med out of Salt Lake. He has always wanted to go in a helicopter and combining it with medical EMT personel, he will be on cloud nine for quite awhile! I am excited too because it means a whole weekend in Heber visiting family and friends. That gives us both something to look forward too. We hope everyone has a great Valentines Day!

Tom thinks I need to post!

So here I am. What can I say I live a fairly boring life. Tom continues to stay busy with work, fire and ambulance. I am still just working at Penneys. I do have to say that I got my spring cleaning done last week including shampooing carpets. I decided that I needed a week off after the holiday season to catch up on things at home. It felt good to get my house cleaned and organnized. I was able to throw out a whole bunch of stuff too. Well this is a short post but hopefully I will have some updated pictures of our puppy in the next couple of days.
