Docking

So I'm only a week late posting the pictures I promised. O-well, better late than never. I'll give a rundown of the slide show.

There are a couple pictures of Hootie after he drove my Birthday present, a scooter, home in a nasty morning rainstorm. You can't really tell, but he was soaked, such a sweet guy. He also entertained some people along the way and gave our neighbors a good laugh.

Pictures of Hootie playing with his dogs, notice the ladder: he taught his border collies to climb up and down the ladder. If he has the ladder out, he'll throw something on the roof, and the dogs don't think twice before they climb up. Simple minds, maybe, but we are easily entertained. (This all came about at Christmas time, I was on a trip when he put the lights on our house, so he taught his dog to bring him the strings of lights. Pretty clever, I'd say).

Sorry the docking pictures didn't prove to be too exciting, we are both in black, not a good color for blood to show up on, so sorry if you are disappointed, but we were filthy and our shirts underneath are totally stained. The pics were also at the beginning of the day when we were still fairly clean. Don't mind the no-makeup look I'm sporting, or the fact that it looks like I have a bad double chin.

As for the last pics in the series, Hootie saw his picture for his birthday post -he was freeze branding cows that day- he wasn't crazy about that pic. He asked why I didn't use a picture of him in his business clothes... I don't take pictures of him as he walks out the door for the office... so I subjected him to a Sunday afternoon photo shoot. There is a pic of the short hair, too. ENJOY!!

BRHS CLASS of 2000 BLOG

Just wanted to get the word out that our class blog is now set-up, (and in need of improvements, I know). I guess I got nominated to help get things underway (probably because of my last post) for a 10-year reunion. Ginger (Rich) Buck called and asked if I would be in a committee. They had a list of names, I gave her some names of people who still live close. If you get a call, please be willing to help. Visit our site & contribute your info in the comments section.

Watch these clips

So I have a few pictures that I need to transfer, maybe I'll post those tomorrow. We docked lambs today, yeah that was great fun. Actually, I don't mind it. Except for my nails are too long right now, so they got yanked back alot & now my fingers are hurting. (There is a special way to hold the lambs, and they kick a lot and fight ya.) I also hate being dirty/ covered in animal blood, yuck! Then I had to rush to a friend's baby shower, smelling pretty sheepy. At least, I think I did. (I did shower & try to make myself presentable.) Congrats Carli on the baby, you looked cute.

I wanted to post this today, though. I thought this was so cute of President Monson, and probably won over a few younger kids( & older) who have been struggling with the transition from President Hinckley, the prophet they have grown up with.



And just to mix it up, I think Taylor Swift is a darling and talented girl, she sings & writes many of her songs, and I loved this performance at the ACM awards.



I know these two videos have absolutely no relation, I just wanted to share them.

Time for an update

I know it's really time to update this blog, but we haven't had anything too interesting going on lately.
What’s on my mind… I just got off the treadmill, I'm thinking it's time to get my butt in gear and be better about working out. I feel totally out of shape and I'm long overdue in losing my "February Fat". I really respect all my friends who look so great, and they have kids. I don't have a good excuse. Sorry this is lame, I’m just anticipating swimsuit season.
Tomorrow we are docking sheep, anybody want to play on a farm? You are welcome to it. I'll try and take some pictures so I can update with them. I love seeing picture posts. Also, maybe a picture of my chopped off short hair. I cut it on Saturday, I’m married to this strange boy who loves short hair. That surely isn’t the norm, most guys like long hair. Hootie always wants me to cut mine off, so I appeased him. It was a fun surprise!
Hootie’s sister Baylee just found out what she’s having, but I’ll let her post that on her blog. I’m excited for her, she’ll be a cute mom and they have an awesome adventure ahead on them. She flew in from Chicago last night, and her big bro picked her up. She was a little worried she’d been forgotten & was stranded, since Kristie had the dance review rehearsal. Noone told her Hootie would get her, it was cute since he came to her rescue.
It's crazy that little Baylee is having a baby, someday Hootie & I will be ready for kids. There are days I get anxious and feel way behind, and other days I don’t know if we’re ready for that huge change. Hoot’s little sister’s would like us to hurry onto the bandwagon. Maybe next year.
I know this is a weird random post, I just thought I should post something. Hope all is going well for everyone and you’re loving the warm weather as much as we are.

Happy Birthday Hoot

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my cute husband. Big 26. We just keep getting older, it's crazy, 'cause we still feel really young. We have so much fun together & I'm so lucky to have him in my life. He is such a good & generous person, every body's friend & he always makes me proud. He is very hardworking and ambitious & never gives up. I become a better person because of him, I learn so much from him & I'm glad he's around. He's a cute diverse boy, who is good at everything he does. Just wanted to brag for a sec and say Happy Birthday Hootie, I love you Babe!

Niagara Falls

So Blogger has definitely been neglected the last couple of weeks. I've been working lots and doing some spring projects. I've just textured & painted my bathroom, mind you I don't know how to do either. But, I figured the only way to learn & be good at it is to practice. I have lots of places to practice in our house. I'm not a big fan of wallpaper & we have lots & lots of it.

A couple of weeks ago I had an overnight in Toronto & we went to Niagara Falls, it was beautiful. That’s a great thing about my job, I get to see lots of neat places that I might not go to see otherwise. I like my vacations to be on the beach, so I don’t think about going to lots of touristy spots. A few of the places I’ve been to on my airlines dime…The Alamo, Oklahoma City Memorial, Glacier National Park, biked across the Golden Gate, Beale Street & the Peabody Hotel to see their famous ducks. I haven’t made it to Graceland yet, we had it all planned & our rental car, but our flight was delayed and we didn’t make it in time. These are all places that are fun to see, but I doubt I’d make a vacation out of it, but lots of people do. I also get to shop in lots of great cities in fun stores. Anyway, I thought I’d post a few Niagara pics, there are also a bunch of other random ones. I took the Golden Gate ones las week when I was flying into San Fran. I also put one of me working, so now my friends know what I look like when I’m being a Flight Attendant.
