Dear Santa

Dear Santa-

I have tried to be good, but I know that I have been naughty a couple of times this year, mom wasn't very happy when I pee'd on her bed or when I bit holes in every bottle of a new case of water when she was at work, so this year I am not asking for much. But I do belive in the spirit of giving so instead of bringing me presents will you just take my little sister and give her to someone else!!

Thanks Santa- Love Jack

Dear Santa-

Wow have I caused trouble this year! But I know that I am so stinkin cute I can get away with just about anything, like the time I helped my brother bite thru all the water bottles, That was a blast and mom was convinced Jack did it himself. Oh and how about when mom forgets to shut our kennels before leaving for work so I go in and pee all over my brothers blanket, its the funniest thing ever and because mom never catches me doing it I'm off the hook. So don't worry Santa, I am not expecting you to bring me anything this year, and its okay because I have had a lot of fun!!

(and I think its better to take my brothers toys away from him rather than play with my own.)

Thanks- Love Izzy

Dear Santa-

Please bring prozac.

Thanks- Kim and Danny

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!!

I

We are ready to spend the day eating, in pajamas, watching movies and putting together puzzles!!

And Yes, my dogs have pajamas and snuggies.

Happy Late Holloween

I know I'm a couple days late but o well-

Hope everyone had as much fun as we did.

HELP!!!!!

Someone please -
I can't get my pics to upload. I was able to upload and change my profile pic, I have added pics to my facebook, but when I try to upload a pic to do a new blog it just sits there trying then stops. What am I doing wrong.

argggg stupid computers!

so you get 3 posts today- it will make up for the days I don't

So Selene and Viktor are a year old now and they have been living in the same 15 gallon tank that we got when we first got them. They are now both over 3 ft long and let us know that the tank was way too small. We would get up in the morning to find that they had moved the water dish on top of the hide or had burried under the water dish. So we finally went and got them a better home.

Here is there new 75 gallon tank.

It is HUGE--- Its hard to tell in the first pic. But that tank is as long as just the TV screen and not as high as the book shelves on either side of the entertainment center.

They have spent the last week stretching out and doing laps around it. I think they are much happier with us now.

Don't let that sweet face fool you.

As cute as she may look- she is trouble!!!

But she is pretty dang cute!! Which saves her butt many a times!

Just like a kid...

So you have all heard me say that I don't need kids because my dogs act just like kids. Most of you have never had the pleasure of witnessing one of Jacks famous fits so here it is.

He has really bad allergy problems and they effect his ears. They get really gooie and we have to put drops in them. This is a video of Jack after we put the medicine in. There isn't any sound but imagine him grumbeling and snorting thru the whole thing while Danny and I sit in the back ground laughing at the big baby. The video is about a min long but this fit went on for about 3min. He kept going till he had pushed all but 2 pillows off of the couch.

Maybe I should just go back to bed...

You know it is going to be a marvelous day when you are late to the gym, litterally trip and fall back onto the bed trying to put your pants on and break a clock...... with your face!!!

Gym rules...

I'm sure we have all had those days when you just want to beat someone(s) by the time you finish your work out. So I have decided to post some rules to follow at the gym, all based on my experiences this morning.

1. If you are double the age of the person you are talking to, do not tell them it will be more work to loose weight because they aren't as young as they used to be. (really lady!!! why don't you just concentrate on not breaking a hip)
2. If you are bigger than the person next to you, do not give them cardio advise. (from the looks of it, it didn't work so well for you)
3. If you are smaller than the person next to you , just don't talk. (it makes us want to cram a twinkie in your mounth.)
4. 5 am is not, I repeat, is not social hour. (quit talking and get off my machine)
5. If you decide to not bust it hard that is your choice, but don't tell me to watch that I don't push myself too hard. (if I want to leave wheezing like a pig, and looking like I've been sitting in a sauna thats my business, back off)


I hope that you have all learned a little something thru this post- and I mean more than just that I am way crabby at 5am.
And if I have offended anyone- then re read this, because some day someone may be waiting for you outside the gym!!!

Can't I just have a normal weekend?!?!

So you get 2 posts today, and this one is long- deal with it.

I have been asked to blog and post pics of our great weekend.

For those who don't know already here is the story of what happened.

On friday I was sitting at work when I got a call from Danny telling me that,

he had scuffed his new shoes...

when he broke his arm...

when he wrecked the motorcycle.

Okay wait, wait, wait. Say that again...

Yes you all read that right, He. Wrecked. My. Motorcycle. (okay its ours not mine but still)

At this point in our phone conversation I had to tell him that I would call him right back because I had a sudden urge that I should run to the bathroom.

Okay everyone stop panicing and breath , don't worry I was ok-

I just had to pee, oh yeah and vomit a little.

I then rush into my boss open my mouth and start the water works.

(Danny told me later that I should have known he was fine because he is the one who called me, not the hospital, But we all know Danny and lets face it he lies, there could have been blood and goo all over the place and he would just giggle that it looked cool.)

But anyways I told my boss that Danny had just been in an accident and I needed to go. She kindly shoved me out of the office ( I think I was sobbing on her papers)

I got in the car and headed to payson. When I got to the ER I walk in to find Him laying there with a huge smile and no pants.

Okay the back of his pants were still hooked to the waist band but the front, except the pockets, were gone.

Which then just made me mad- really people, he is in the ER I am paying you lots of money to fix him, get the man some scrubs.

Once I calmed down and realized that Danny was really okay he told me the story...

He was driving on I-15 between Payson and Spanish Fork when, what witnesses say, for no apparent reason 2 cars in front of Danny locked up her breaks.Danny saw smoke coming from her tires and the car in front of him hit her breaks, so he started to tap his. Due to the newly paved road it was slick and the bike started to slide. Danny looked behind him for a way out but instead saw a Semi. He made a quick desicsion that it was better to hit the car in front of him rather than get hit by a semi so he let off his breaks curled up to protect him self and leaned the bike to start going over. He hit the bumper of the car in front of him and tumbled. Luckily he had been able to slow down to about 30mph by the time of impact- which from personal experience 30 still sucks, but it is better than 50 mph.
The semi luckily had good breaks and was able to stop!
Luckily no other vehicles hit and no one other than Danny was injured.
Danny ended up with a shattered right arm above the wrist. It broke both the ulna and radius so they ended up doing surgery Saturday morning, putting a plate and 11 screws in his wrist/arm.
He also has a broken toe, a little road rash on his arm and elbow and some brusing on his arms and legs.
All in all he came out pretty good and compared to what it could have been I'll take it.
Danny has voiced his disaproval that we don't have camera phones so he was not able to take pics of his hand coming out at a 45 degree angle off of his wrist, but here are some pictures of him and the bike, post surgery.

New Shoes!!!

So we all remember when I first met Danny and he wore 2 pairs of socks and army boots every day even with shorts.

Well I thought it would just be a fluke thing when his friend talked him into buying a pair of Nike shocks. He bought a pair of just plain looking shocks nothing fancy and ended up wearing them every day till they fell apart.

I thought that it would be the end of tennis shoes untill the other day when he came home with these

(dont't worry, he still wears 2 pairs of socks with them, he is only in ankle socks because of the new tattoo, and it's driving him crazy!!)

I am such a sucker

So the other day I was home alone for way too long. I was looking out the window (okay I was spying) at my neighbor Tom. Tom was talking to a guy in one of those big frezzer trucks. When they were finished talking the guy in the truck looked over and caught me in the window. He then started up the drive way, I met him at the door to try keep the dogs in but Jack managed to escape. As the guy was playing with Jack it started...

The "are you the lady of the house routine" at this point I should have just hauled Jacks butt back in the house but I was bored so I humored him and said yes.

He then went into the whole spill about this fabulous meat product he was selling and ran to his truck to get some to show me. Again that should have been my que to turn around and go back in the house, but he was so nice to Jack that I stayed (that and Jack followed him) So he comes back with this HUGE box of meat and starts telling me how wonderful it is I start to look interested when BAM..

He hits me with the price of "only $379.00" At this point I actually started to laugh and told him there was no way I could do that. He then turned very sympathetic (sneaky) and says well what if I can give you a deal?

5 min and $200.00 later I called Danny in a panic demanding that he come home now because I did something bad. Between sobs I finally got out what I had done (blaming it all on Tom of course) My absolutely wonderfully understanding husband started laughing at me, all he said was "well it is good meat"

Needless to say he was home in about 15 min.

So if any of you would like to join me in my spending habits, it really is good meat and you should check out their web site www.madisontaylorentrees.com, because one of the conditions of such a good deal was that I would spread the word about them.

They deliver all over Utah, Idaho and wyoming and the guy asured me that they always have good deals going.

(I love this picture of Jack looking so sweet just begging for steak, and yes because I am that big of a sucker he got some)

I'll give it a try...

Okay since we have finally joined technology land and got a decent computer and the internet (no applause nessesary) I thought that I would give this blogging thing a try...
Don't hope for too much and rememeber its just the way we are.
