Our funny little photo shot. These pictures show off her cute tiny pigtails and baby teeth.

Animal Lovers BEWARE

After much anticipation we finally went on our 2008 hunting trip. It was a wonderful trip. Here are some of our highlights. 

Tori was such a wonderful girl. She did not fuse the whole way up or back from Utah. 

She just took her naps as usual and watched Baby Einstein. 

This is a picture of her being super cute. 

We met up with Brett's family in Panguitch, Ut.

We stayed out Brett's sister, Natalie, house.

She has an adorable little boy, Randy! 

Ashley and Randy loved playing with Tori

First morning we went out Brett shot a buck.

 We skinned it at Natalie's home and the dog joined in. 

Tori was already ready for hunting with her own orange outfit and camo bow

Brett and the 1st Buck (Nice Gun)

We still had another deer tag to fulfill so we went out hunting again at night. 

(Natalie also cut my hair that day now I have a cool mom hair do. Thanks Nat!)

The next morning. 

above: Picture of Brett checking out some doe's in his scoop.

After a couple hours Brett's Dad said we should look in the shrubs cause that's where the deer bed down during the day. Honestly Brett and I didn't think we would see anything. 

I don't usually see what the boys are pointing at until 5 minutes later. 

Usually the deer are so far away. In this picture the arrow is pointing at a spec and it was our next buck. (if you enlarge the picture you might be able to see the spec)

The boys decided to hike towards the deer to see if they could cut it off. 

They walked so far. You can barely see the orange specs in this picture. 

I stayed at the truck and finally heard a gun shot. I guess they got right on top of the buck and were only 25 yards away. I figured they wouldn't want to walk back so I decided to romp through the sage brush and go and get them. Yeah I drove through that. 

Good Job Brett!!!

Tori loved Natalie's swing and wanted to play in it all day. 

Deer hanging is our 2nd buck. Our 1st one is the closest. Tim is skinning Natalie's buck. 

Good shot Natalie but you didn't have to shot both of its legs off. LOL

Since we got the two deer in 1 1/2 days we decided to spend the remainder of our days in Spanish Fork with Brett parents.  

This is Tori telling Brett to hurry so we could get on the road already.

 We were able to keep her quiet on the way to Spanish Fork with the help of Cotton Candy. 

The next day we ran some errands with Grandpa. This is Tori waiting for Grandpa

She had fun with Grandma. 

We also decided to stop by my Grandma's house so she could see Tori for the first time. 

This is her first great grand child. She was calling my Dad to tell him they we were there. 

So cute Tori

She was put her arms up in the air when ever we said "So Big"

She was showing us just how really big she was. 

Thanks Grandma for the chocolate licorice 

We now have tons and tons of Deer meat. We made a bunch of jerky, deer chops, and roast. 

All of it has been good. We have enough stocked for the winter. 

Home Projects

I just wanted to share with everyone some of my projects I have been doing around the house. 

Since I don't work full time anymore I have a lot more time to do things that I love, like paint and hang out with Tori. Even though I am renting my home my landlords have given me the okay to paint it how I please. Plus we plan to buy the house someday.  

You can click on any picture to enlarge it. 

This past week we painted Tori's room.

 It's super light purple on top and super light green on bottom. 

These are some the pictures that I love. 

This is her memory board I made.

Her beautiful blessing dress that hangs on her wall. 

My chocolate guest bathroom.

(enough said)

My new chocolate border that I got for my birthday

I painted bamboo in my Master Bathroom.

Silly Sleeper

Tori can sleep anywhere. I love it. Usually we can just put her down with a bottle and she will fall asleep. It's great. She does pass out in some pretty funny positions. Here are a few.

Goodbye, Hello

Goodbye to our Hyundai Tucson


Hello to our new Ford Fusion
(this is not the actual picture of ours. Just one i found online)

I love my new Ford Fusion. It's very smooth and comfortable. Trunk space is amazing as well. It gets great gas mileage. It's a wonderful little family car.

I know I am horrible

My Mac computer has been down on and off the past couple weeks. That computer has all my pictures on it and I feel like I can't post something else it has a picture to go along with it.

Brett and I have just been busy at work and doing stuff around the house.

Brett works Monday-Friday 7-3:30 I work Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 4 until whenever. So we really only get to spend together a couple nights a week and all day Sunday.

During our time together we have now started a new television series called Jericho. It's pretty addicting. It's about this little town in Kansas called Jericho and what they go through after a couple major cities in the US get blown up. Of course it has it's heroes and enemies. Check it out if the have the time. We are now on disk 5 of the 1st season. Ha... I just found a picture to go with this.

More posts to come soon.

No mas

I have a couple things to blog about bare with me.....

Last Thursday August 14th, Wow that was a week ago. Was an interesting day. 

This is the story as I was told/remember. For more details ask Brett.

I was super excited because that Thursday we, as a Primary Presidency, were going to have our first meeting together and I had so many idea floating around my head. Well if any of your are LDS you know that meetings never start on time, unless it's sacrament meeting. The meeting started at 4:00 at 4:10 I get a call from Brett and he says 

"Um... I have a problem, I just got in an accident. I'm okay but the car is pretty messed up. They are sending a tow truck."

 "Do I need to come and get you?"  

 "Maybe I will call you back."

He calls me back and says the car is un-driveable (sp?) 

I didn't want to leave my much anticipated meeting that had just started, so I called up my good brother Nate and had him pick up my truck and go and get Brett. Thanks Nate Dawg : )

I guess what happened was that Brett was driving home on the I-10 going westbound in the far left lane next to the carpool lane. He was slowing down, not stopping, just like you do in stop and go traffic, when so crazy crack out guy rammed into him which propelled him into the car in front of him. EVERYONE WAS OKAY. Our new 2007 Hyundai Tucson however is not. The bumper is no mas/more, exhaust is bent, the doors really will not open, and the radiator was broken. Brett never even saw the guy coming. I believe the van in front got some damage but didn't have to be towed. The guy behind wouldn't talk to anyone because he was either to shocked or stoned too. I believe they did take him to the hospital just to be safe but there was no visible damage. The police officer did determine it was the stupid guy's, behind Brett, fault. 

So his insurance company has hooked us up with a rental car that we are loving. It's a 2006 Ford Fusion. It actually goes fast when you push on the gas unlike my 4 cylinder suv. 

We just got the word yesterday that there was extensive damage that it is a total loss. 

We are kind of excited that we get to buy a new car. it was a blessing as well because we wanted to get out of our high priced suv but didn't know how. Now we are just looking for something cheap and gets good gas mileage. 

Cool Feature

I love my truck. We have a big beautiful Dodge truck. I just hate the gas mileage of course. So it hardly ever gets taken around. But it does have a cool feature it tells you how many miles you have left until you run out of gas. We push it to the limit all the time. But unfortunately when it says zero miles to go and I put in $15 bucks it still remains at zero. So we just continue to drive it and try to determine our mileage ourselves. 

So this super cool feature that is offered in our truck, is not so helpful. 

Well..... you can imagine what happened. I got in the truck with Tori and we were on our way to drop her off at the grandparents so I could work. The truck didn't even want to roll more than 3 feet in any direction. After a couple tries it seemed to work okay. (my parents only live 2 miles away so I thought I might be okay). I just coasted it through my neighborhood, and around the corner to the stop sign, I was doing okay until I need to turn on to the major street. There I was in the middle of the road stopped and cars were starting to come from all directions. Some how I got the truck to roll backwards and get it out of the middle. A very nice Goodyear citizen helped me push the truck to the side of the road while I waited for my brother Nate to come and rescue me. I realized during that, 10-12 minute, wait that it is cooler outside of a car than inside with no AC. My truck read that it was 117 degree outside as well. Gross. Me and poor Tori got all red and sweaty. 

I am never going to trust my truck again.
