Once again, it's photo op with the pups

These guys just love getting their pictures taken. Atlas has been a model since he was only a few months old..He has grown into a giant now, but still is so soft and cuddly. He is about 14 months old, weighing in at about 145 lbs! He will likely get bigger, but who knows. He eats all his food, plus his brother's, and never seems to be full.
We are so happy to have and love these animals. They just make our house feel so filled and fun. Enjoy the pictures!

Mom's Surprise 60th Birthday in Tucson

Last weekend my family threw my mom a big surprise birthday party for her 60th birthday. Everyone drove down for the weekend to celebrate on December 3rd. Both my mom's sisters and brother came from Colorado. Josh, Natalie, and their son Sterling came down from Albuquerque. Aaron and I came from Utah, and the rest of the family from Tucson. She had no idea that we'd been planning this for months. She started crying when we all kept jumping out to surprise her at the party. She was so thrilled to see everyone, especially her siblings and her grand kids. We had dinner at HiFalutin with lots of cupcakes and goodies. Jessica and I made delicious carrot cake cupcakes and chocolate mint cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Here are a few photos from the weekend. Love you Mom!!!

St. George/Cedar City

We went back to Aaron's old stompin ground and hung out with our good friends Sarah and Spencer. They let us stay with them at their amazing house, we even brought the dogs! It was a Zoo! We had such a great time with them. They took us to Cedar Breaks which was an amazing look out view up the mountain. We also went to see Thriller at the Tuacahn Theatre in St. George. The show was so amazing. I seriously had a blast watching all the dances and skits. The weather was perfect. We then went out with our Springville friends Jonah and Hollee who originally invited us down to see this show. Hollee used to go to school here and perform. Thanks for inviting us down and introducing us to Tuacahn! WE LOVED IT!!!

Halloween costumes

Aaron was an amazing President Lincoln. It was seriously all about the beard. Aaron can grow the thickest and best beard ever, which worked out perfectly for the costume. I went as his frumpy wife Mary. Kira made her own costume by hand and was an awesome fighter pilot. My friend Justin was gothic. We went to his crazy 30th Birthday costume party in SLC, and had a great time.

Atlas and Bael

Atlas got another bath last Saturday, so I had to take some pictures. He's our handsome giant. Bael was included in the photo op as well, he can't stand being left out.
