Running Buddy

Much to his dismay, Mogley has become quite the trail running buddy. He's pretty pokey but he trots along the trail behind us, never once venturing off. He only has one speed, what Garrett and I like to call the poodle trot. While I do think he kinda enjoys himself, I'm pretty sure he'd much rather be at home with Munch...doing much more important things like guarding the house from potential predators...I mean, those kids on Dora The Explorer scooters HAVE GOT TO BE STOPPED.

No Rain, No Rainbows

We've been having the most perfect weather in Salt Lake...perfect mixed with a few rainy days. It's really never much fun while it's raining...boring indoor activities are usually substituted for our usual outside adventures, bike races are cancelled, its too muddy to hike, I'm usually mentally forced to clean...you get the picture. In an effort to be a more positive person, I have thought of 2 reasons why I like the rain: Sleeping in and Rainbows. I won't horrify you with a picture of Garrett and I sleeping in, so here's a rainbow.

Happy Birthday Garrett

I just want to wish a Happy Birthday to my sweet, handsome, wonderful husband. I love him more than anything else in this world and I hope he has the best day. Afterall, this is his last birthday when he'll still be in his twenties, the last birthday he can register for bike races in the age 19-29 category...hehe. I love that I'm younger!!! Anyway, Happy Birthday Babe!!!!!

The Tree

This tree turns Pink in late May
and like my dogs, it just won't stay.

I wish it bloomed all year round
It's so much more than a stick in the ground.

The flowers are plenty, it's admired by all
I love this tree like a dog loves a ball.

When the pink is gone, it's missed a bunch
I just go back to admiring Munch.

Tulips

April showers bring May flowers. Not in Utah. I think the saying should be May Showers ruin my April Flowers...well between the rain and Munch blasting them with pee every chance he can get.

Munch

All of the daily pressures and stress of guarding the house really wear my Munchie out. When we get home from work, he pretty much bonks. It's a hard knock life.

My New Baby

A Wolf Stove...in my kitchen...who would have thought? This stainless steel beauty is a sight to behold in the new kitchen and you haven't baked a potato or boiled noodles until you have done it on this thing. Seriously, it pretty much rocks my world. Garrett has wanted this Wolf since the day the kitchen remodel began. He doesn't have an opinion on too many things, but he really liked this stove. Compared to this thing, Maytag, Kenmore, Whirlpool...well they just seem so cheesey. Unfortunately, this stove retails for more money than our whole kitchen remodel, so we just sort of forgot about it. AND THEN, we found her. She had been slightly used and we got her for a pretty great price and once I got her home, cleaned her up and WAALAA!! Good as new. Thanks to all the manly men who got this thing in place.

Pretty Dreamy

Getting to ride beautiful Paso Fino horses in the Heber mountains on a sunny day with friends...pretty much a perfect day if you ask me.

My Lights are Cooler than your Lights

My very favorite part of our kitchen remodel are these custom blown glass pendant lights. They are turquoise blue when they are off and a reddish/purple color when on. I bought them from this boutique glass shop in Texas and I must say they win the award for Most Awesome Lights Ever!! And I'm very glad I like them so much b/c my god, I shed a couple of tears paying for them. And now just like my Munchie...my only thought is "worth every penny."
