Our new Beta Fish!! We named him "Ted the Duke"

It was always a tradition in our family to have a big Christmas Breakfast and we are going to continue on with that tradition and so I made a big breakfast of Pancakes, eggs, bacon, fresh strawberry's, and juice! It actually tasted pretty good too if I do say so myself!! ;)

Unhappy Puppy

 Yesterday we took Lixi to the vet for the first time here in Texas. She needed to have all of her shots updated and then have her yearly checkup. The people there were all very nice and friendly but of course, Lixi didn't like them or being there at all. She tried to get as far away from the vet as she possibly could. She has been grumpy with us ever since. Tonight she has been cuddled up on a pillow for a while which I thought was too funny not to grab a picture of.

The rest of us in the house aren't as grumpy as Lixi is. Alex continues to love his new job. His trainer, Richie, went to Utah for Christmas which leaves Alex with only a few things to do at work so he is able to come home a little earlier than normal which we are all happy about. I am still trying to get everything in the house exactly as I want it. I think i have redone all the closets in the house at least twice. I am also watering the lawn a ton so the roots will grow deep. Yes you read right. I am watering my lawn in December. It is crazy!! We are getting ready for a very small relaxing Christmas with just our little family. We won't have very many presents since our big gift to ourselves was our new home, but I think it was the best gift we could have gotten. We also will be able to focus more of the true meaning of Christmas. Hope that everyone is doing well and staying warm inside!!

Quick Catch Up

So here is a quick catch up on some of the things that have happened the past week or two.

 For those who don't know, our moving company didn't come when they said they would so we were in our new home for  five days without our furniture or kitchen supplies or anything. It was not an exciting time. When the moving truck finally came we were super excited!! It was actually a moving Semi-truck that they used. Really cool to find out about all the different things movers do to keep things from breaking and how to pack a truck. Just wish they had been there five days earlier!!

Part of Alex's job is to go to different job sites and put up temporary fixes for things that happened and decide what needs to happen to permanently fix them. Like if someone knocks over a stop sign, he puts up a temporary one and things like that. Anything that involves asphalt or concrete or other paving materials and anything that goes down into it. So to do this part of the job he needs a few different types of tools, and the company pays for them. When we went and bought the tools for him he was like a little kid on Christmas. He was so excited and as soon as he got home he got them all out and put everything together. It was quite fun to watch him smiling like a little kid.

Today we went out to run a few errands and we got hungry while we were out so we decided to stop and eat and then found this fast food stop. Couldn't believe it. Three in one. It is a Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried chicken, and a Pizza Hut in one. I had never seen one before. Pretty Cool!!

More Updates will come soon!! Love and Miss you all!!!

Hello Again!!

                                                  Hello again all!!
After a few years of neglecting my blog horribly, I am going to start up again. Me and my husband have recently moved to Texas, leaving all our family in Utah and Oregon, and since we are no longer live close enough to see them often I figured it would be nice to give everyone updates on how and what we are doing down here in Texas. I promise I will try to give new updates often so you can keep up with us even though we are far away!! We love and miss everyone so much!! Below are some pictures of our new house if you haven't been able to see it yet. Hope that everyone is doing wonderful wherever you are and that the Christmas season is in your hearts and homes!!
