Tika & Stumpy

Here's an update on our mini schnauzers: Tika is super fast! She runs circles around Stumpy, she is quite the spoiled dog when she hogs all the toys (doesn't agree with sharing), her tricks are: sit, stay, lay, roll, dance like a princess, army crawl, and shake.

Stumpy is just adorable. ha ha, he doesn't care much for toys he'd rather hang out with people, he also knows sit, stay, lay, roll, and jump. You can always count on Stumpy to warm your feet because he'd rather sit on the floor. He also has small-dog syndrome, he just doesn't know when to back down- even from the biggest dogs.

They are awesome dogs that keep us happy :)

New Littleones!

So we have had two new additions to our family, Micah's sister Brittany and husband Matt had Aliya Georgia October 1st, and my brother Chad and his wife had their little boy Dax Robert Arrington November 14th.

They are such little blessings! Here's pictures of these two lil munchkins! And welcome to the family :)

Halloween 2008!

Vote McCain and Palin! Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia

The big bad wolf followed poor little riding hood to the party!

The Phantom of the Opera even showed up to sing!

Here we have a witch and her broom (You can't see but he has written "My witch rides me")

And the winners are: Sarah Palin & John McCain (People's Choice Award), Luke and Leia (Best Pair Award), and High School Math Teacher & His Student (Craziest Award)

Carving Pumpkins!

We got a chance to get the married couples together to go get dinner at Center Street Grill, carve pumpkins and watch a scary movie! So thank you to Katie and Tommy Marcheschi, Joe Ellen and their little girl Halle for a great night!

Carving pumpkins was an adventure, we found out that the paper wasn't helping with the intricate details, and then Micah pulled out his drill so that it would be more efficient.

But it was a great night to relax and watch poor Halle being pulled around by Tika! Halle loves playing tug of war and she was just giggling away while being pulled around. She also loved the dog kennel and was in there alot trying to tell the puppy's to come in with her.

Micah's Mission Reunion

Yeah :) It was great to see so many of Micah's old mission buddies! I had a great time meeting everyone and hearing all the crazy stories of my dear husband!

Ryan's Golf Tournament

Everything is just getting so busy lately! Micah and I had the chance to go and watch Ryan in the state golf tournament down by Park City at Soldier Hollow. It was so intense! But Ryan had one awesome round and shot a 77- in fact he pulled through for the team and they go to go on to the second day (first time in 10 years!)

After the long day on the Gold course, which is no fun to walk around since its built into the mountain, we went out to one amazing pub like place. We ordered some pizzas and tacos, and couldn't wait to go and get some rest. In fact we even had sunburns at the end of the day!

Second day didn't go as well for Poo-Bear, in fact we don't mention that day...ha ha. But good thing is that Mountain Crest is one of the top 10 in Utah now. So I'm so excited that Ryan finished out his Senior year having an awesome Golf season.

One Year Anniversary!

It's been a year already, and I got spoiled! Micah surprised me with a new dyson vacuum (our other one broke), perfume, a locket, and a mattress to go along with our new King size bed :)

We headed down to Salt Lake City on Friday and stayed at the Little America, and then got to spend the day in Park City. We enjoyed some awesome tacos, got to go on the Alpine Coaster, went shopping at the outlets, and got to eat at Ruth Chris' Steak House. We were so worn out!

I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband who is so caring and thoughtful with everything. I got a chance to think about our wedding day and how much love and support was there, even now it's still going strong. A year to get to know someone is hardly anytime at all, I'm still learning about Micah everyday, but i can tell you some things: He loves orange juice, he hates cereal, he sleeps on his back when he's really tired, when he concentrates his mouth will open up, when i mention that something is broken he'll get up to fix it right away, he loves sour cream and cream of chicken mixed together, he's my walking jukebox, and he loves his wife and family :)

I'm just thankful that we've gotten through the first year, maybe a few bruises here and there, but we still have an adoring love toward one another!
