Gingerbread Houses...

Last Saturday night, we got together with some friends for a night full of good food, games and gingerbread house making! This will be the third year since we started this tradition, we were happy gabrielle and cole could join us from st. george this year too! :) I have to say, we don't spend enough time hanging out with these lovely couples.

Thanksgiving Day

I always love Thanksgiving day, not only because there is so much delicious food to eat but more importantly it is a time to spend with family. Michael, Ziggy and I ran a 5k that morning with my family, and ate lunch at my parents house. I only have pictures from being at my parents, unfortunately I forgot to take my camera over to Michaels parents house :( ... I need to do better with that. Later that night we went to the Jazz game with Jessica and Chris, thanks to Michaels aunt who gave us the tickets. It was fun to just be able to talk with family and realize just how much there is to be thankful for.

Love It..

Love this Album. If you haven't listened to it, I suggest you do.

It will put a smile on your face :)

Rebellion

A while back Michael told me that dogs in their teenage (human) years were rebellious, just like a teenager would be. I laughed and thought nothing of it until just recently. Now I am wondering, what happened to my sweet little boy? Let me just tell you of a few things he has been up to.

1. Burrowing his head in the garbage to see what he can find... no matter how many times I tell him to stop, he goes right back to doing it again.

2. He now has to have me stand right beside him as he eats his breakfast and dinner, after asking him to eat for the 17th time. No, I cannot be three yards away doing the dishes.. I'm hovering over him like I have nothing better to do.

3. Any toy we have given him lately has been shredded to pieces, within a matter of seconds our carpet is covered with white balls of stuffing.

4. Michael and I give him loves before we all go to sleep. He has a little bed on the floor where he sleeps. After kissing him goodnight, we tell him "Ziggy, go to your bed" and yes, he does know what it means. He used to be really good, but now when we say it he either goes to the foot of our bed and lays down or acts like he has a scratch so he doesn't have to jump down. (Mr. Attitude).

I actually could name quite a few more things, but I will not for a lack of time and mine and your sanity. Even though he's been quite the little rascal lately, I wouldn't trade him for a million dollars. It's amazing to me how I can be yelling at him one second and the next he is right at my feet wagging his tail with happiness. Dogs really are the epitome of unconditional love, one such animal we can all learn a thing or two from. :)

We LOVE it...

This is such a great show, Michael and I are seriously addicted. However, I was very upset last night when they voted Shay off. Yeah, Amanda still needed to be there, but common.. Shay is like double her size and so not ready to go home. Did this bug anyone else? Please tell me it did.
