Events in January!

So it's pretty bad that I have to try to remember what's been happening in my life by looking through my pictures, lol. One of the things that happened in January that I was quite excited to share is that we bought a new truck. We traded Justin's car in for it and both have loved it so much, I just had to share.

Took her for a spin in the snow, It was great fun!

Justin showin off his new truck :D

So after we bought the truck, Justin and I got to go to a Jazz Game in Salt Lake with Bart Hardman and my friend Tricia. We had a great time! And ate so much good food, lol.

Meet The Puppies!

It has been such a long time since I've sat down to do this. So much has happened! Liddy had a litter of puppies almost three months ago now. There were ten of them and they've been so fun! They're all absolutely adorable. The first few days of thier lives were hard! Liddy had to have a c-section so we had to bottle feed the puppies every three hours for the first three days, but it took 1 1/2 hours to get them fed so we only had 1 1/2 hour break between feedings. It was rough! We were incredibly tired but on the fourth night Liddy decided she felt good enough to be mommy and she did a great job! We've barely got all of them sold. The last three get to take a ride to Salt Lake with us this Saturday to meet their new families! Here are some pictures...

This is Liddy the week before the puppies finally arrived. She was so miserable! I've never seen her so mellow!

This was when we finally held Liddy down and tried to show her the puppies weren't scary! She was so annoyed by them at first, but she caught on, thankfully!We were both so tired after the first few nights. Poor Justin!

Amazing quote by Henry B. Eyering

"I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made; I am a desciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tainted visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need pre-eminence, positions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right first, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by Faith, lean on his presence, walk with patience, am uplifted by prayer, and labor with power. My face is set, my gait is fast, and my goal is heaven. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, divided or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shutup, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up and paid up for the cause of Christ. I must go till he comes, give till I drop, preach till I know and work til he stops me. And when he returns for his own, he will have no problem recognizing me. My banner will be clear." - Henry B. Eyering


I just had to post that, it was so uplifting and amazingly powerful to me that I couldn't help it.

Life without a Husband...

Justin left Sunday around 4pm with Pappy to drive to Arizona for an 8 day Kues (sp?) deer hunt. They stopped in St. George and picked up Tyler and on they went. It was a 17 hour drive. This is only the second time I've had to be away from Justin for more than one night and just for the record-- I hate it! I spent the night at my parents house last night because I was home absolutely alone and I couldn't handle it! The dogs kept barking at something and I couldn't see what it was so finally at 11:30 I called my dad to have him come get me because I couldn't sleep! I'm so grateful I live so close to my family and that they understand when I call them at 11:30 at night because I hate being alone. They are the greatest! I had the best nights sleep I've had in quite a while! None-the-less I would rather have Justin here.
I've been able to spend a lot of time talking with friends that maybe get neglected more often than they should and I've spent every afternoon at my parents house, visiting, playing games, watching movies and of course they feed me extremely well ;)
I'm going to drive to Cedar City tomorrow to spend the weekend with my girlfriend Tricia and hopefully that'll kill some of the lonesomeness. Then when Justin drives through on Sunday on his way home, hopefully Ican meet up with him and follow him home.
I'm so excited to have him home. I don't know how other people do it. I'm sure they get used to it after a while but this is one thing I hope I never get used to!!

Melanie "opening" her present. We put Vinyl lettering on her grandmothers old windows that said "families are forever" I thought it was kinda symbolic. The Christmas eve Family party. Santa came, we made Ginger Bread houses, visited, had a great dinner and played together. It was quite fun!

This was Justin trying to convince Santa that he really was good enough this year to get presents. Santa didn't believe him, lol. Just kidding.

We all sat around in the living room singing Christmas Carols while Melanie played the piano and we waited for Santa to come.Dad and Justin Christmas morning. Justin worked until about 11 but we waited for him and he came strait to my parents house and we all had breakfast together then opened presents.I got Justin a new hoodie. It's cute huh!?I was hugging Hailey better. She got this new adorable Radio Flyer Wagon that's the size of a notebook maybe, but she learned that if you step on just the back end of the wagon just right that the front half will do a weelie and smack you right in the head! I was the closest person at that moment so I got to save her.Justin got me new riding gloves for Christmas, they're way cute!
