Scout's Ears

Remember how I told you about Scout's "special" ears. Here is the proof. All of these pictures were taken in less than a minute, and I did not touch her once, they are this spastic on their own.

Its like a doggy mullet, business on the side a party on the .... other side?

"Did anyone see where I left my ear?"

This is the only time when her ears look almost proportioned.

Twinners

I know its very likely that my love for my doggies is unhealthy, but look @ how stinkin cute they are. Scout (front left) had her first haircut today, and Tobey went along. I should have taken a before picture, they were both on the verge of hobo. I have now learned 2 things:

1. My dogs look creepy alike (especially when they are both staring at you and cock their head @ the same time), we are going to have to buy them different color collars from now on.

2. Scout's ears are freaking screwed up. We didn't get the docked like Tobey's because I didn't want to hurt her, so we assumed they would be normal floppy ears. Turns out her right ear is normal and floppy, and her left ear is pinched and folded to the side. It gives her a very "special" look, which is actually very fitting. She is definitely a very "special" girl, but we love her anyway.

ps if you click on the picture you can see the remnants of Scout's dinner. If you ever want to witness dog food carnage you should watch this puppy eat!

Anyone have sweet circus hookups?

We took a trip with the Morrills to St. George this weekend. We went hiking in Snow Canyon (pretty pictures coming later), and once the weather turned nasty we ended up driving around looking for homes that we could never afford. In one such home we met this man This beauty was from a Deseret News article published in 1978. Don't worry, he still has the same beard. Apparently he was a magician with Ringley's 30 years ago. After meeting Jack Hart I've realized how mediocre my life is, this guy started in Cache Valley, joined the circus, was the advertiser for Ringley's, Disney on Ice, and Monster Truck Ralley. Now he spends his time showing million dollar homes that he sells with his 2 brothers. I have found my new life goal, first I just need to discover my hidden juggling/tight-rope walking/contortionist skills and away we go.

Dinnertime

So, I'm a failure as a wife. I can't bring myself to make dinner. The very few times I actually make any effort at all we have pastaroni. I bought a big a** crockpot (over a year ago) to help with this situation. And I finally decided to take it out of the box. My mom was a sweetie and gave me a bunch of crockpot recipes for Christmas, but my picky husband will only agree to try 15 of the 75 (what a stinker). Anyone have any great recipes they are dying to share?

I need some opinions

So, the other day I went to IKEA to buy some prints to hang on my office wall. there were a few there I liked, but after looking @ them I realized that it would probably make more sense to hang my own photography on the wall of my work-station. Which photo do you like best?

I really wanted to go for a black and white theme, but I just love the greens and purples on the barrel cacti.

The Disneyland Post, Finally!

Well, over a month later I finally decided to post the pictures from our trip to Disneyland. It was SO much fun! We will definitely only go in December from now on. There were hardly any lines, and it just got crowded in the evening for fireworks.

We couldn't find Dalan any Lightning Mcqueen sunglasses, he was somewhat consoled by these ears, and the news of Disneyland opening a new land called Radiator Springs, Dalan is now trying to get a job there so he can run the piping for Lightning McQueen.

It was decorated so cute. It was all decked out for Christmas and they thought of every little detail.

Since last time we went Splash Mountain was shut down, we had to give it a go. Even though it was December and we were soaked, it was totally worth it.
The haunted mansion was decorated after the Nightmare Before Christmas, it was awesome! I couldn't believe how much work they must have put into it.
One of the best parts of Disneyland, pineapple whip from the Tiki Hut. Mmmmmm!
Now I can't wait for our trip next year, we are totally going to wear sweaters even better than Goofy's.

We found the entrance! Don't worry I'm not drunk from going inside, just drunk from envy.


Toystory Mania is the best ride ever!


Dalan inspected Mickey's house. The water heater wasn't quite up to code, but he looked the other way considering it was Mickey.

Disney made it snow every night (I think with bubbles). Can't you see it behind us? Me neither, but trust me it was there.
Pretty Castle!
Dalan warming up for the run to Toy Story Mania, we had to beat all of those seven year olds.
Only a five minute wait, guess the warming up helped.
This is us, sad that the magic of Pirates was ruined. We got stuck for 45 minutes, and then they turned on the lights in the "sky." Jeff the workman had to get in the water and push our boat back to a point where we could evacuate.

We had so much fun! If anyone wants to join us next year we're game. Or maybe even a trip to DisneyWorld.

The Stalker

That would be me, I'm creeping your blog late at night, and you have no idea about it. I don't dare leave a comment, because that would give me away. I usually type the URL directly, so feedjit will not give me away. Not only do I creep your blog, I am also slightly offended by the low amount of posts. While I may go 3 months in-between, that is no excuse for your once-a-week attempts. So please think of something interesting to write, I'm sitting here in my jammies, with my bowl of generic, spiral, mac n' cheese just waiting to read about your equally enthralling life.
