Am I Right?

After moving in to our new place, I noticed that I had misplaced a few things. One of these items was a very cute picture of Gabe and Katherine (one of Wes' prize possessions). I felt TROUBLE!!! You think Wes would cut me a little slack since I had to move everything myself (wrong). Anyway, I looked a few placed and given our small apartment, there were only a few places to look. Finally the picture turned up. HOORAY!!! Now it may appear that I would be the one to blame for misplacing the picture, but wait, hear me out, I think Wes may be the one at fault.

Since I did ALL the grunt work with the move, I started a small list of chores for Wes. One chore included hanging the living room curtains. The bag that contained the curtains was the exact location of the lost picture. So now if you think of it my way, Wes is to blame. Had he completed the chore months ago when he got home from Puerto Rico, the picture would have been found before it was even lost. In that case Wes if the culprit for the lost (but now found) picture. Am I right???

Now matter who's fault it is; we are both glad to have the picture back!!!

Pics from Utah Trip

Just thought I would share a few pictures from the Utah trip.


Gabe and Katherine at the Jolley Family BBQ



Is that a wink? ;)


Who knew an Easter basket could easily be turned into a helmet



Dana and me with the twins, 2 1/2 weeks old. Aren't they cute?


I hope I get this right. I'm pretty sure this one is Tess (they look so darn alike!)


...and cutey Claire!


Sid has really outdone himself since my last post. I took care of the problem of his last escape and now he has learned how to hoist up the panels and crawl underneath. What I am going to do with him?!?

i don't know how he did it

As some of you may know, Sid does not do that great being home alone. To minimize destruction and give me some piece of mind, we bought this exercise pen to add to his crate.

To Wes' surprise, this is what he found when he got home from work today. Sid was not in his crate as he should have been. Instead, he had jumped over his crate and escaped. Now, let me put this in perspective, the silver paneling is 3 feet high and the black crate + my purse (which at the time I thought would be a good enough deterrent) measures 27 inches. You would think that would keep him in! Now I have to think of some way to jimmy-rig this thing to keep him from escaping.

Exciting or Not, Here's a Post

I know it's been a few weeks since my last post and I was anxious to publish something. After much deliberation, this was the best I could come up with...picture of my new couches.
















Sorry, it was either this or another picture of Sid. What the heck, here is one of Sid anyway.







I've been trying to get Wes to post some pictures of his latest island adventure. I'm sure his pictures are much more exciting than my couches :)

Shopping Spree

Wes and I have been on a little shopping spree. It all started with a new vacuum and then we just couldn't stop. We now have a new computer, a new couch, and a new love seat; and we are not about to quit. Next on our list, a new desk.

All Moved In

Finally, Everything is put away and organized...everything expect for our spare bedroom which is serving as a dressing/storage room for now. Surprisingly this move was pretty smooth. I was a little worried that it was going to be a big pain without Wes but since I didn't have to have everything out of the old place at once, I was able to bring over a few small loads at a time. Don't worry, Wes isn't going to get off that easy. I've been making a list of chores for him to do when he gets back and we have to do some shopping which is torture for Wes but so much fun for me.

This new apartment is so much bigger than our old place. I now have a large storage closet on the balcony, full-size washer and dryer, and two closets, one for me and one for Wes. I really don't know how I lived life before!

Now I have to start working on the decorating. I have a few ideas in mind so we'll see if I can pull it off. Once I get things done, I'll post some pictures and give you a peek at our new place.

Silver Falls


Here is just a little something to temp all of you Utahns to come visit. This is one waterfall at Silver Falls State Parks. The park is about 15 miles southeast of Silverton. It is really a cool place. There is camping and tons of trail were you can see more than ten different water falls including this one. You can't really see it from this picture but the trail actually goes behind the waterfall.

So I guess I'll be seeing you all real soon :)

Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes! I'm so lucky to have so many people who love and care for me. Thank you for all the love!
