WINTER WONDERLAND!

Christmas in Heber was a blast..... everybody had a stocking, even Talmage. His was appropriately the smallest one.
He got the desire of his heart's wish.... food.
As you can see...there was plenty of snow.
I got the desire of my heart, running shoes and i even went on a run. Afterwards Truston commented, this is the worst out of shape you've ever been in....in your entire life! It's going to be a long road back to shape :(
Truston and Garrett rocking out on rock band. Truston has decided to quit school and hit the road as a lead guitarist....

life in the fast lane

This is what i do....all day long. First I get in a little yoga.
Baby yoga, that is.
It usually wears me out...so I have to take a nap afterwards.
That picture on the wall is Jesus breaking bread. I am pretty darn spiritual, so I like looking at it, while my dad holds me. I'm so cute, he can barely let go of me, especially when I wear my magic wizard outfit. I mesmerize people.

Food is my main concern. I eat a lot.
I eat so much I have to recover by taking a nap. Sleep and more sleep.
In my spare time, I like to stare at the Christmas tree. I hear that my aunt Grace also stares mindlessly at the Christmas tree. :)
And that concludes my day. That's how I live life in the fast lane.

Santa Claus is coming to town

Carmel Apples

I have recently discovered the greatest treat in the world. Carmel Apples. I made them for a halloween party, which was a great success. The apples were so good and so popular, that I decided to make them for various family members and others who would really appreciate a good carmel apple. So this morning, while i was talking to haley on the phone, i took my dipped carmel apples and drizzled milk chocolate and white chocolate and sprinkles on top. I brought some over to my grandparents and then to my cousins the McArthurs. Imagine their surprise when they cut into the biggest carmel apple, and it was an ONION! HAHAHAHA. this was the best joke i have played in several months. not only an onion, but a very potent onion. it was such a surprise, i wished i would have made more. i didn't, which is good, because carmel apples are much better then carmel onions.

perfect! Truston's done....to be continued

Creating a Blog

Here I am, in the u of u library at 11pm, waiting for Truston to finish his plant ecology paper. It looks like I've got plenty of time on my hands, so I'll take this opportunity to start our blog. I've decided to start a blog for several reasons. 1. So my family can see what we're up to, which would entail 2. The necessity to better document our lives through photography. (Truston appointed me as famly photographer, and I've failed miserably. Only he is worse than me.) and 3. Because I've been so inspired by my awesome friend, Kathy, who is the queen of funny blogs. Hopefully, this will prove entertaining and interesting to those who see it.
