Our Newest Addition

We don't have children and we don't plan on having children for another 2-3 years so while all of you are having babies and enjoying your happy families we are welcoming our newest addition. Everyone meet Tonka.

I know it' totally crazy. Rory has been looking for a Toyota Tacoma for about 2 months. We felt that his P.O.S. Mazda wasn't going to make it much longer Rory had worked really hard to get his degree so I thought he could look. We have looked at many many Tacomas but found nothing Rory and I could agree on. Saturday we went to a Toyota dealership and was kind of looking at the FJ cruiser you see above but still wanted a Tacoma...well we test drove it and we both fell in love with it. So 4 hours later we drove her home. I still can't believe that we own a YELLOW vehicle but it's totally us. Funny thing is that when we were first married and living in St. George the FJ Cruiser came out and we both loved so this was really was meant to be.

Our next issue is who gets to drive when...

Poor Boo

Boo is our cute little bishon and we can't love her enough(my mom as well). We don't have kids to talk about so here is our newest adventure with Boo.

We left her at my moms for the weekend of Valentines day and when we picked her up Sunday afternoon she started getting sick was throwing up, I know it's unpleasant but this gets better. So our vet mentioned that we could give her a little Pepto Bismol in this situation. In the past we have tried a spoon but we end up making a huge mess on our clothes but this time Rory had an extra(new) syringe at home so we put a little in there. As I pryed her little mouth open Rory squirted some in her mouth and she stared gaging and shaking her head rapidly, so we let her take a breather and then did it again to finish the rest of the syringe. This time Rory squirted all of it in her mouth all at once and started coughing and shaking her head rapidly again only this time she had so much in her mouth it went EVERYWERE...all over Rory's pants and all over my glasses. Here is a picture of the end result.






She is still so cute but to make things worse I had to give her a bath next. This day was very stressful so her.

Valentines

I think Valentines day is a dumb holiday but it's nice to get flowers and chocolates so I shouldn't complain. Rory was so sweet this year. He sent me an edible arrangement to my work that everyone enjoyed and I am still enjoying to this day. It was fun change. He also got me flowers and chocolates...I love chocolates.

Baby Shower

Saturday was my best friends baby shower for her first baby Aubrey. I made my first diaper cake and it turned out so great and everyone loved it, even though she came two weeks early as a preemie and wont be able to wear them for 6-8 months. It was a lot of fun to make as well as frustrating.

While we were in St. George we had an extra day to visit Las Vegas...We wanted to see the new City Center that was built right on the strip including 3 hotels and a retail and entertainment center. We we shopped at Tiffany & Co. while enjoyed all the unique architecture and interesting designs. This place was huge and I have to admit...we got lost a few times.

This picture is only a 1/8 of the City Center.




This was inside the retail center where it had many different levels where each floor was made out of a different product.

Christmas '09

I need to catch up on our blog. We have been a little busy so this has not been a top priority.

Christmas was a blast. We went to St. George for 5 days to see Rory's family. It was great to see everyone and just have a good time. We went shopping and we always have to go to Cafe Rio for Ronna.



Don't forget the Kareoke...lots of that.

This is Ronna and RiLee

We were all have a good time, I don't know whats wrong with these two?
