Happy Belated Halloween!

2009-11-08T16:12:00.008-07:00

We had a wonderful Halloween! The beginning of the month all of us girls in the fam went to Witches night! It was so fun and we will be doing it annually. Like a week before halloween we did our annual Pumpkin Carving Contest! It was so much fun but it was the smallest turn out ever! It was kind of sad but we had a blast with those who came. Then on acutal halloween Ty had to work so Tavin and I just had a day together. We went to a baptism of a friend that was really neat and it was great to hear her beautiful testimony, then we came home and hung out with Nana and Papa who were having a blast scarying the little kids in the neighborhood! While they did that I finally got a chance to put Tavvy in his costume. He made a fabulous bat! He was even squeeling like one it was hilarious. Another milestone for Tavin was he started solids and is loving every minute of it. He also loves his jumper and wrestling with mom and dad! I love my boys so much! They make my life so splendiforous!

The Past Two Months!

2009-10-19T20:32:00.004-06:00

So I thought time went by fast before, but now that I have a child it goes by even faster. So we have had a crazy, crazy past two months and I hate that I haven't had the time to update. We blessed Tavin on August 22nd at home with family and close friends. Tyler did an amazing job, as always! Then at the end of August we went with my family to California. We go every other year and it was so fun. We of course went to Disneyland, the beach and this year we decided to go to an Angels game as well. Tavin was magnificent on the plane! We also took him on his first rides at Disneyland. The first one was Peter Pan, but he was asleep. Then we took him on a Small World and he absolutely loved it. He was wided eyed the whole time and smiling. I love that ride cause of all the different cultures you see and how great would it be to be a child and have no judgement, but joy to see all the diversity! Ty has been soooooo busy with school and work. We take advantage of every minute we get with one another since we don't get that many. I have been busy being a mom and working when I'm not doing that. I feel like I keep going and going and going! Tavin just had his 4 month checkup and is doing wonderful! He is now 27 inches long which is off the charts, and 15 1/2 pounds! Tavin spoils us so much! He is seriously the best son we could ask for. He is now talking, laughing, smiling, drooling, razzing (aka spitting), holding his own bottle and trying to sit up all on his own. We are excited for Tavin's first halloween. We are still trying to decide on what he will be, but we will have pictures and I promise that is won't be two months later. I'm excited to check out all your post and see what you all have been up to.

2 Months and Counting . . .

2009-08-12T21:34:00.005-06:00

Our boy is just amazing! We are loving parenthood and getting the most enjoyment as Tavin grows! He already has such a personality! It's such an amazing experience to watch him get stronger and more aware of life. Everyday is a new delight! He is already sleeping through the night and hardly ever cries!(Knock on wood) We are very spoiled with him! He makes you want to have lots of kids! We went to our 2 month check up and we had some great results except the ending was not so fun! He really didn't enjoy the shots at all. It was so sad to watch that. Luckily I didn't have to hold him down the nurse did! The results are. . . Height 24 inches(99%), Weight 12lbs 10oz(90%) and Head 15.5 inches(50%)! No wonder why he doesn't look like a 2 month old. He is growing so fast! We wish it would slow down a little bit, but at the same time we are excited for the future pleasures! We love hime so much and he seriously gets cuter and cuter everyday and the smiles and the cooing just melt our hearts! I love my family more and more everyday its such an amazing feeling!

Time Flies!

2009-07-10T13:21:00.011-06:00

So I really cant believe that our boy is a month old already! He has gotten so big so fast I cant believe it. Tavin still is the best baby we could have ever asked for. He is getting more and more of a personality everyday. When he is happy he does this liitle purring noise and when he is angry he does this little growling noise! Every time he does either of those we just melt. Our favorite thing is we will lay him on our stomach and we will start talking to him and he will start pushing himself up our chest so he can get as close as he can to our face and he just starts giving us kisses and eating our face. It is the cutest thing ever! He actually starting cooing at me today. It is the sweetest noise to my ears! We love this boy so much! Ty watched him all day yesterday by himself, while I was at work. They both did great while I was gone and that makes me so happy. I had no doubt that Ty couldnt handle it. He is seriously the best dad! He loves his son so so much! It was so hard to go back to work. I seriously am so tempted to quit. Marley has been such a good dog to him. He is getting more and more comfortable with him. I actually caught him cuddling with him one day on the bed.(see pic below) All and all we love our little family and cant wait to add more! We are so happy to be parents! We had our 3 year anniversary on the 29th! Its crazy that its been that many years. I know it isnt that many but time is flying by! It has been another fabulous year and I love being married to my Ty! I love him more and more everyday! Im so excited to keep on our journey! Happy Anniversary Babe! I love YOU!

Tavin James Gatherum

2009-06-17T17:14:00.014-06:00

Our boy is finally here! We were induced on June 11, 2009. He weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz., 21 inches long and has so much blonde hair. We started at 10 in the morning and were finished at 7 that night and we pushed for about 45 mins. Everything went well and we had no complications thank goodness. We are truly blessed to have this sweet little boy in our lives. We seriously cant get enough of him!!! We stare at him constantly. Tavin has been such a good baby so far. He hardly ever cries, he sleeps really well, he eats like there is no tmrw and when he is awake he is so chill. He just stares at you and takes it all in! We love our Tavin and we are so excited to have him in our family!

Waiting for him to come!

Going Home!

Almost There!

2009-06-05T20:56:00.004-06:00

Oh happy day we are a few days away! We are so so excited except for the fact that we are both terribly sick! I am so miserable I cant even find the words to explain. Well we payed a little visit to the doctor today and he said that we have only dilated 1/2 more but we have dropped so that is good, but since I havent dilated enough then we will not be getting induced til Thurs the 11th. So our goal is to do anything we can in our power to get this boy here! So if any of you have any ideas of how to get it done then send the advice our way. We would greatly appreciate it! Here is my most recent photo that was taken a week ago. Sorry that I havent been more in touch lately I have been so so busy trying to get everyone caught up at work. Hope everyone is doing well and cant wait to get caught up on all your lives. We will update as soon as we can after we have the baby! Thanks for everyones advice and support over the past 9 months!
Ty got to go to Maryland for 10 days for work. While he was over there he got to visit New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania! He had so much fun! He has never been back east and now wants to move there! Here are some pictures from his trip. He got to be in Washington D.C. over Memorial Day weekend and he said it is absolutely the best time and most patriotic time to go! Also the Iwo Jima statue of the soldiers pushing the flag up is the biggest thing I have ever seen in my life! The picture does it no justice. If you guys havent ever been back there you really need to go. It is soooo beautiful and there are so many amazing things to see!

New Boot for Spring!!

2009-04-12T22:13:00.002-06:00

Well we had a wonderful Easter Break! On Fri Ty was going to go down to his dads ranch in Price for the weekend and I was planning on just hanging around home to relax since I couldnt do much at the ranch if I went. So as Ty was leaving he got halfway down the driveway and backed up and asked me to go grab the ipod cause he had forgotten it. I was returning with the ipod and I went to step off the edge of my parents porch and as my left foot, that was already bent to the inside for some reason, hit the ground I landed all my weight on my foot and heard it go 'POP', 'POP', 'POP'!!! As I lay there on the ground saying not such nice things I am pretty sure I broke something. Ty comes running to my rescue and helps me up and my foot is instantly swollen. We get in the car and go to the doc! Yep I have broken my foot and have to be on crutches for a week to two weeks and then in my fabulous new boot for 6-8 weeks. Which is perfect timing for when the baby comes! WooHoo!! We then took off to our babies doc and had our baby monitered for an hour. He was just fine, thank goodness! Ty spent the night with me taking care of my every need I had, even carrying me so I didnt have to use the stupid crutches! I love him so much! He is way too good to me! So Sat comes along and Ty heads out that morning to the ranch and gets about half way there and hits a bunch of debris in the road and pops one of the back tires, which we just had replaced! So he got to spend 2 hours at WalMart getting it fixed. I finally had come to the conclusion that he was not supposed to be going anywhere this weekend! The odds were definetly against him. He did get to have a great weekend eventually with his dad and best friend Ryan! I am doing as well as I can, just in a lot of pain because I am not allowed to take anything since Im pregnant! They said I could have Tylenol but I dont really see it helping me all that much and I am not a big pill taker anyway so we decided to just suck it up! Good thing I have a high pain tolerance! I will get a picture of my fabulous new style up along with a new photo of the belly! We hope that you all had a better weekend than we did! Happy Easter!

Update

2009-03-15T22:34:00.004-06:00

Well I do have to admit that I have been horrible at taking pics of my progressing growth. So here is an update and we only have 2 1/2 months. I cant believe it! He is getting stronger everyday and if you dont believe me you can ask my body. Dont get me wrong I love to feel him and it is a major comfort when I do, but sometimes it hurts! The other night we were lying there watching a movie and we could actually feel a foot or something, it was so cool! In church today I sat there and tapped Tyler everytime he moved. It was quite entertaining for me to let him experience what I get to feel all day long. We got to take off to St George a couple weekends ago for just a quick get away before Ty started his new job. He is still doing fence sales and school so we thought it would be a good idea to have a little getaway before things got to crazy. He loves his new job and we are so very blessed to get such a great job during these rough times in the world. We cant wait til spring is here and if you were outside at all today you would probably be feeling the same way. What a gorgeous day!

Valentines!

2009-02-16T11:53:00.003-07:00

Hope you all had a fabulous Valentines! Ours was great! We went and celebrated on Thursday to beat the crowds. We always celebrate early or later. Then we usually have a nice evening at home together and cook a really yummy meal but this year was different. It was our ward temple night on Valentines and we hadnt been in a while so we decided to go. It was so cool! We got to seal couples and children to each other. It was so awesome being able to do that for people on one of the most romantic holidays of the year! We loved it so much that we are going to make it a tradition now. After that we went and got Cafe Rio cause we needed to spend the rest of the time that night writing our talks for Sunday. That was our first time speaking in church together. It was fun! My husband made it look so easy. I am such a wreck when I have to speak. I was trying to think back when the last time it was I spoke in church and it probably has been 10 years. So I guess I might be safe for another 10 years...Doubt it, but I will tell you I think it has been so long cause I play the flute and I play in wards all the time. So I do participate! Anyway I wanted to put up one of my favorite poems cause I just watched the movie where it came from and it is perfect for Valentines, although I did hear that it came from the bible.
Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous.
Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take offense. It is not resentful.
Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth.
It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.

Half Way There!

2009-01-26T18:39:00.015-07:00

Yipee! We are now at our half way mark of having this child! I have just realized that I havent put a picture of my tummy up yet but I also really havent started showing until now, I have gained 5 pounds so far. Our baby is very healthy and strong the doc said and here are a couple photos, the first one is him flexing for the camera and the other is of his developing profile. I am no longer sick which has made me the happiest person ever! I actually have started to feel him move which I thought would be really weird but it is actually really cool! I now look for chances to sit down and hold really still so he can kick and punch me to my knowledge! I am looking forward to the next 4 months and hoping that I can keep enjoying it like I have this past week. Ty has started up in school again and he actually likes 2 of his teachers this semester which is a good thing. He has so much homework this time though, big fat bummer! I really cant believe we are going into February already. This baby is going to be here before I know it.
20 weeks

Happy Birthday!...It's A BOY!

2009-01-05T18:42:00.003-07:00

So the 30th was Ty's birthday and we went to the doctor that day to find out what we were having! Ty couldn't have asked for a better present than knowing he was having a boy! We are both so excited and can't wait to see him. Ty and I had a great day for him just to ourselves! It was so fun to be with one another and celebrating a day of Ty! I am so glad that he was born so that I could have the best man as my other half. He is the most loving, generous, caring, sexiest, smartest, hilarious, hard working, patient man I know! It is never a dull day with my husband and I want him to know how much I love him! I know you are going to be one great daddy! Happy Birthday TY TY! On Sat we threw Ty a suprise party and it was so fun to have his family and friends join us. Thanks to all that came! I will try to get pics of that night, they weren't on my camera so it may not happen. Hope you all are enjoying your new year!

Merry Christmas!

2008-12-29T11:33:00.013-07:00

What a wonderful time of year to remember the Savior and the sacrafices he has made for us. As well as spending time with the ones we love! This holiday is such a cozy one and I love it! We had a fabulous Christmas. We spent the night at Ty's parents and then went to my families home that afternoon. It was nice to be able to spend time with both of our families. We are so blessed to have them both so close! We went and saw Marley and Me and it is such a funny, happy, and touching movie. We would highly recommend it, especially if you have ever had a dog! Ty's family had their family Christmas party and we had a great time especially during the white elephant exchange. We ended up with sour cream and onion flavored crickets! MMM, our favorite! Here are a few pics from our wonderful Christmas! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Have a Happy New Year!

Happy belated Thanksgiving to all! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and ate lots o food! I know I did cause it was one of the best days! I was so grateful to have a non-sick day and they are continuing to get better! (Crossing my fingers!) We had a fabulous day! Ty went and played football, I helped get food and the house ready and I actually felt good enough to get myself ready for once! We ate dinner with my family and then later that day we went to a movie with Ty's fam and then had pie after! We saw Four Christmas and we highly recommend it! We have seen it twice and we were laughing so hard at the puking part! We are both very grateful for our relationship and our families and for having the gospel in our lives! We are so grateful for the jobs that we have, the house that we live in and for never going hungry. It is always such a great time of year to think about how blessed we truly all are! I am also very grateful and very appreciative for the best husband anyone could have! He has been my knight in shining armor over the past few weeks especially! He is so patient, loving, caring and supportive to me! Thanks babe for who you are and all that you do for me! I love you! We are grateful to have you all as friends as well! Happy Thanksgiving! Oh thank you to you all as well for all the advice that you have given me it has been awesome!

Guess What . . .

2008-11-11T21:31:00.003-07:00

We are PREGNANT! We are both so excited and have been to our first doctors appt last Fri and he said that we are 9 weeks, which would make our due date June 7th! Let me tell you I hate this 1st trimester. I would never like to have nausea my whole life and I hope I hope I hope I dont have it the whole pregnancy. You never know when it is going to hit but it has gotten so bad that I actually want to throw up because it makes it that much better to survive. Ok I might be overreacting a little bit but trust me I have always hated being nauseas and throwing up. I dont know anyone that likes it so you may just understand and if not then well your life is just great!:) Anyway I have know idea what is going on since this being my first pregnancy and all so do feel free to share any advice you have whats so ever we would greatly appreciate it! Oh and our "IT" child is about an inch right now. Woohoo!

This Weekend!

2008-10-27T23:15:00.007-06:00

Fri I went to help my mom at her wards fabulous friday. She was helping the women in the ward make these cookers! They look like mini me bean bags but you actually can cook in them. They are really cool she has cooked carrots, potatoes, and chicken so far! You only have to get them boiling for like 2 mins and then you leave it in their for an hour or more, depending on what it is, and it is perfect. This is an emergency thing! I am so making some so if I ever needed to I would kind of have a stove in a way!

This last Saturday my mom and I took my nephew and niece to Wheeler Farm to make a scarecrow, pick a pumpkin, play games and see all the animals. It was so much fun! Here are a few pics from the day. I love these two so much and my mom! They are so much fun and the cutest kids ever!

Then Sunday we had our Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest with our extended family! One of our greatest traditions! I will also include some pics of this as well. Hope everyone has a fabulous Halloween and hope to see everyones costumes posted if you havent already!
P.S. To those of you that have tagged me I will get to it eventually I promise! I will be out of town til Fri and then I will get on it.

Hunting/Watchmen

2008-10-27T22:33:00.003-06:00

I am sorry I am a horrible blogger lately we have had a lot going on. Tyler, Rick,his Dad,and Ryan,his best friend, all went up to Ty's dad ranch last weekend for the Hunting Opener. They had a lot of fun going out and finding the animals and keeping watch on his land. He is trying to preserve his land a bit and get his animal packs larger so he will be able to start selling tags. They always have trespassers that they have to keep an eye on. Gladly they didnt have any, suprisingly cause every time we go down there's someone getting caught by Rick and that is no bueno. The picture is of Rick's massive garage he is building with a loft in the upstairs. Rick has done all of it with some help of his friends. Ty's dad is such a good contractor!

Well while Ty was gone we had a friend get in a really bad accident. I got a call Sat morning at 3 am from his friend Brad looking for Ty. He was asking if he could come give his brother Brett a blessing. His parents were out of town and couldnt get there for 3 hours and so I got my parents and little brother and headed to the hospital. He ended up having brain surgery. He had fractured his skull and broke an arteri that was beginning to leak into his brain. By the time they got him under the knife a 1/4 of his brain was full of blood. So they took a portion of his skull out and removed a blood clot and released the pressure on the brain. They told us that he wouldnt be awake for a few days and who knows how he would come out of it. They said he would have a 20% chance of dying and a 50% chance of coming out the way he was before. Brad did an amazing job and keeping himself together and making one of the hardest choices of his life. He saved his brother! He woke up about 7 or 8 hours after the surgery and was AMAZINGLY HEALED! If you know Brett then you would agree he was himself cause his first word written on a note pad was Metallica! I just have to say what a sad but amazing weekend that was for Brett and his family, friends, and us. We have seen an amazing change in a boy that only God would know how to reach. We are all so happy of his outcome and cant wait to see him up and being Brett! We for sure had a wonderful experience and a new way to look at life and what really matters!

Going Once, Going Twice... SOLD!

2008-09-28T21:01:00.002-06:00

It is official we have sold our house! With it being on the market for only a month it closed on Thurs. and we had to be out by Fri. We pretty much moved all day Thurs. and cleaned Fri. I cant even tell you how exhausting and stressful that was but I guess that is what you get when you have pushy buyers! Dont get me wrong we are so grateful we got it sold in this market, but we just really HATE moving! It sucked especially cause we had literally a day! I also cant believe how much STUFF we have collected. It has only been 2 years and it is unreal! We finished filling our storage unit and I turn around to look at Ty and all he can say is, "How did we accumulate all this!" I couldnt agree more! We are now with my parents til we can find somewhere to go. We havent even had a chance to look for anything, but now we can take our time and have the worry of our house off our shoulders! Oh I am so happy we are having such an amazing fall! We all totally deserve it. :D

Life is Out of Control!

2008-09-07T23:14:00.005-06:00

So I really didnt think that it had been that long since I have posted something but looks like I missed all of August and now its Sept. August was so crazy it is still a blur in my head. We have been not stop lately. This is our Sept so far. We have put our house up for sale. We dont know where we are going yet but we are giving ourselves plenty of time to figure it out. Ty started school. He is liking the U so much and we are gettting closer and closer to graduation! YAY! We took off to St George for a Labor Day break. It was nice to go see Ty's cousin and his family. We all went boating and then the boys played golf nonstop while Mindy and I went shopping nonstop. It was great. Then to top it off we went to Mesquite randomly one night and played bingo. Bingo is awesome! I was one number away from 500 and Mindy was 3 numbers away from 15,000. I will for sure be going back to do that again. Thanks Mindy for introducing me to that. This last weekend my cousin Tia got married, my cousin Taylor blessed his 2nd little girl and my cousin Brandon was ordained a Priest. It was so fun to have everyone together. It has been such a long time since the extended family gathered. So we have been a little one thing after the next and Marley can vouch cause he is so mad/sad that we have been gone so much. I will be busy again for the next couple of weeks cause I have 2 horse shows this month starting tmrw and then one the following week. The first one is at the state fair and the other is at south jordan equestrian center. Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful weather! I know we are!

Vacay Week!

2008-07-27T22:11:00.002-06:00

We have just had one the funnest weeks! Last Sunday through Wednesday we went up to Midway with my family! It was a eventful few days! We went golfing at The Homestead and Wasatch, which were both beautiful courses. We spent a day at The Olympic Park also. We watched the kids do their jumping into the pool (I would love to try that), then we went and got the golden passes to do the bobsledding, their version of the alpine slide and the 2 zip lines. It was so much fun. The bobsledding was amazing, it kind of hurt your head but so worth the experience. And of course we ate at Baja Cantina and shopped at the Outlets. That was a great time with the fam and very relaxing. I love Midway, I would not mind moving up there or having a place up there one day. Then Thurs did a bit of celebrating but just trying to recover from the past few days and then we headed up to Spring Canyon, which is located near Price. Ty's family had a reunion over the weekend. It was so nice to see some family that we hadnt seen in a while. We got caught up with family, shot shotguns, went four wheeling, played games and got nice and dirty. We had a great time with everyone. All in all it was a fabulous week and a very much needed break for both of us!! I am working on getting pics put on. Anyway it is back to work on Mon and we are not looking forward to it!

Kayaking and Tubing

2008-07-20T21:59:00.002-06:00

Saturday we decided to take a ride down the provo river with some friends. Tyler went down in a kayak and I a tube. Our eventful day started at 1pm and did not get done til 630pm. Im sure your wondering why it took so long when we should have finished in half that time. Well I will make it a short tale cause it would be quite a long post if I told all the details. 5 minutes down the river one of the beginners capsized which caused a 2 hour wait. Tyler had to dive in the river to save someone elses kayak from floating to the tune of an $800 replacement fee. Then, in an effort to help stablize the amateur, i was drug through rapids and tree branches. I think I may have broke my toe on some rocks. To crown the day with glory our friends rescued a drowning lady! To summize, I am sunburnt like crazy, broken toed which is causing me to be a gimp and now match my red shirts when i wear shorts. Ty has turned out to be a pretty good kayaker! Last we heard the lady our friends saved is doing just fine. All in all it was not the best first time down the river, however we are for sure planning on doing it again! Sorry I dont have any pics but I may put a picture of my toe but not really sure its what people want to see. Hope you all have a great week! Oh and the random question for the week is "Where does all the rubber go that comes off our tires?"

Very True!

2008-07-16T09:55:00.002-06:00

I received this email today that is quite honestly so true in our world today! Thought I would share this random thought with all of you. I love to ponder about random things so once a week I will share a random thought and please feel free to share yours back!

Three Things to Ponder:

1. Cows

2. The Constitution

3. The Ten Commandments

COWS - Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around out country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

THE CONSTITUTION- They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS - The real reasons that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal", "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery", and "Thou Shalt Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment.

2008-07-13T16:21:00.001-06:00

Where have the months gone?

2008-07-11T11:14:00.000-06:00

Wow! I cant believe March was the last time I posted something. It for sure has been a crazy year so far and as usual time goes by so fast. Tyler has been golfing any chance he gets and has improved so much in such a short time. He has also been working hard as ever! He will be attending the U this fall to finish up his degree. Yay! Marley has gotten so big and is the best dog! We have had so much fun with him and he has helped us get ready for kids in a way. I have been working as usual and my business has grown so much this year. I have so much fun with each one of my clients and grateful to them for staying with me! The horses are doing awesome this year and it has been a nice relaxing show season compared to last year! We are hoping to go on a little vacation together here pretty soon. Just cant decide where we want to go yet. Well I will try to do better at this blogging stuff. It is so fun when you have more people doing it with you. I am going to be updating our blog so sorry if it looks a little weird over the next little while. Hope you are all having a great summer!

SPRING!!!

2008-03-15T13:32:00.000-06:00

Could it be that spring might be here? Who is to say? Well I believe mother nature more than anything and it is definetly on its way because all of my horses are shedding out and that is a big sign of it coming! Anyway things are going well with us. Hope you are all having a great year so far. We are so excited for this year and have some great things planned with one another. Ty is working on finishing up his associates degree and working hard on fence sales and Primerica. Any spare second he has you can find him in open fields of green chasing white objects around and trying to win Marley's love over me. I am working at the salon trying to keep up on everyone and then also doing bookwork for my dad and keeping the horses in shape, oh taking care of Marley as well, which has been so much fun but alot of work at the same time. If I have any spare time I try to get more things done around the house and hanging out with Marley. Marley has been a great thing for our family. He has definetly gotten bigger and I swear gets bigger and bigger through every nap he takes! Well maybe next time I will have something more interesting to say but til then enjoy the great weather that is here and heading our way.

MARLEY

We have been a little busy lately. . . We have added a family member that has been a little life changing for us. "Marley"! He is a standard poodle, who is 3 months right now. Marley has been the best puppy! He is very cuddley and calm, but then he can also be quite energetic. He sleeps alot! I think it is because he is growing so fast, I swear he gets bigger everyday. We are in the middle of potty training right now and let me tell you what a treat that is! He is going to be very big. He has the biggest paws and has a hard time with controling himself cause they are two big for his body right now. Its so cute and funny! I want to thank my Mom, Dad, Abbie and Gretzky for allowing Marley to come stay when we can't be around. They have been very patient and playful with him! Thank You! Ty and I keep wondering why we haven't done this yet. It is a amazing what a small thing can bring two people even closer. We are so happy to have Marley in our lives and can't wait to add more additions. (Look below for a pic of Marley)

SNOW

WOW! Can you believe this snow, what a crazy season. Well if you can all believe it Ty is even tired of the snow and wishes it would just melt. At the beginning of the season Ty has become an avid golfer and unfortunantely he chose the wrong time to be addicted. If you know him very well then you know that doesnt slow him down one bit. He goes to the driving range to practice at least once a week. When he has his mind set on something there is no stopping him! He has done his fair share of snowmobiling too!
