My poor Baby!

Poor Zeus... he has mean parents. We got his rabies shots and left out of town...he developed a huge lump on his back from the shot and it is really tender (of course we didnt know until we got back)....we get back from our trip and take him to the vet for his other vaccinations..... and those makes him sick too. And then 3 days later, he is super sick again. The vet isnt sure what is wrong but at best....he ate some weeds or something that made him sick...at worst Parvo!!!! Scary!!!! He has to be on a special diet for a few days and is just resting (he doesnt even want to play....sad :(

My question is....what the heck are we going to go when we have kids.... we are dying watching our little puppy be so sick and so sad, i cant imagine watching a child!

My Sweet Little Grandpa

Eldon and I got the chance to go to California to visit my sweet little Grandpa. He is getting pretty sick, so we wanted to make sure and visit before our opportunity passed. We didnt take too many pictures (pretty dumb of me, I know)...but we did get a cute one of 3 of us. We had a really great time hearing some old stories and spending time with my uncles, aunts and cousins in California. We also got the opportunity to go and visit my Grandmothers grave. I havent been there since her funeral, so it was nice to go and see her, especially after hearing my grandpa talk non-stop about the love of his life. I know he wont read this...but I love you Grandpa. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

I <3 Hobby Lobby

I found Hobby Lobby about 4 or so years ago in Ohio with my best friend Erin. It was an amazing store with awesome deals..... well its better (at least than what i remember). There is now a Hobby Lobby in Arizona and it happens to be about 3 miles from my house (YEAH!!!). I just wanted to show off a couple of things i found there for my house! I love it!

Happy New Year....Bring on 2009

This year we were bums a little bit in the fact that we didnt send out Christmas cards....this was for 2 reasons...first of all, life was just crazy and Christmas came and went before I even knew it...but second because i felt like we should send out Thank you cards instead and since i cannot thank every single person that has touched our lives in the past year, please consider this a personal thank you to everyone! When looking back at this year it is amazing to see the giant roller coaster it has been. I think it is safe to say that we have had some massive ups and downs this year. We have moved, searched for homes and been rejected (5 times), bought our first home, changed jobs, been in the hospital a combined total of 5 plus times (i feel like i am missing one or two in that count), both had surgeries, got a puppy, traveled to Vegas, Disneyland, Snowflake (on numerous occasions), totaled a car, bought a new car and been beyond blessed in all of these adventures. I simply cannot imagine having to endure all of these things both good and bad without the amazing gift of the friends and family that we have. almost every prayer has been answered through one of our many "angels on earth" and we are so grateful that you are part of journey and have hopped on to ride the roller coaster with us. I am sure we definitely do not take the time to say thank you enough for the blessing you are to us and for the fun memories, good laughs, tough cries, countless prayers, huge hugs, yummy dinners, help cleaning and thousands of priesthood blessings ;) that we have experienced with you all in the past year. I dont know if you can know the impact you have in our lives, even if we only keep in touch through these blogs or if we see you every day, you are important and have touched our lives and for that I say Thank you so very much!
