What a Trip..

James got to spend the week in St.George with Granny and Grandpa. He did lots of fun things. He played volleyball---


He went swimming---


Did some rock climbing---


He got to go horse back riding with Grandpa---



They went on lots of fun hikes and cave explorations---


And topped it off with a perfect day of skiing at Brianhead.

James had the time of his life! We are so happy to have him back, we missed him lots! He rode home with some friends who wer making the SG to SD trip today, he sure kept them entertained. Thanks G&G for all the great memories!!

The Dog will Never.....

I think we've done alright at this pet adventure so far. "O" is sleeping in his crate faithfully everynight, he's reliving himself in the appropriate spots, he's getting better at walking on a leash and he's jumping up on people habit has been curbed. But, we got hit with the flu bug this week and my resistance was down. Poor Abby is in the thick of it right now. I know exactly how she feels, because I was there 48 hours ago and I'm still wiped out. Oakley has sensed something is up and he climbed into bed with her. They look so peaceful together, how could I disrupt that?
It's that sweet face that gets me everytime. (Both hers and his)

I'm looking forward to V-Day. I've signed up to bring cake to a little celebratory gathering. How does red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting sound? I really want to make cupcakes, but I feel like maybe I should also do another cake too that would appeal to a broader audience. I think there will already be lots of chocolate, so I need suggestions for another cakey item. P.S. It needs to be something I can frost and write on. Hmmmmm.....
