Although I loved my puppies, sometimes they could be little stinkers. Mocha would TERRORIZE Kela. Kela had a beatiful full tail and Mocha would attack it. We would find tufts of Kelas tail in Mochas mouth. Mocha also had a pooping problem, and had a hard time learning that she wasnt allowed to poop in the house. At night Rob finally put her in the cage and let Kela sleep out of the cage in his room. One day we went into the room to find Mocha and she was laying in her cage asleep. She slept upside down on her back with her legs hanging everywhere for a while, it was so cute! Im posting a picture of when Kela layed around with me all day when I was sick. (See previous post) He was definitely my favorite dog...

Ok, So I said I was going to blog about last year so I could start with 2010... Now that is almost June... I finished blogging about Christmas in Mexico.. So! Since I last blogged, I will run through my life... Rob & I got 2 dogs. Both of them were Husky/Wolf Hybrids. Kakaela, is a black and white 2 yr old that we got for free from a family that lives up the street from Rob. A couple months later, we got 6 week old Mocha. A brown /black puppy. (Her markings werent very noticeable and she had longer floppy ears, but we loved her) We had been keeping them at Robs house, and eventually had to sell them both because we weren't allowed to keep them there and I didnt have a place to keep them. I miss them both SO much. We recently received updated pictures from Mocha's new familyand she is HUGE. We sold her to a family that had just lost their family dog of 10+ years. They were a very sweet family and the little girl they had absolutely loved her. We are glad we were able to find such a good home for Mocha & Kela. Kela went to a home of a couple that had a very large back yard and went running every day. We havent seen pictures of him, but miss him sooo much!! Rob loved Kela and we took him EVERYWHERE. Literally, everywhere. Hed just sit in the back of the truck (or the back of my car) and stick his head up front and hang out with us. He was a sweet, sweet dog. One day I was sick and didnt go to work. Robs roommates were gone for a couple of days and Rob had to go to work, so I went to try and sleep some of the sickness off. When I woke up, Kela was laying in bed next to me... It made my day, he knew I wasnt feeling well so he just layed there next to me till I got up. He followed me around the rest of the day nudging me and giving me loves... I definitely am going to get another Husky/Wolf dog, they are the best to take everywhere and play with, and are so tempramental!

2010!!!

My First New Years Resolution: to finish blogging about last year so that I can get started on this year! So this week I'll be catching up with all of my blogging so I can blog about new things without putting off the past too much longer! Here goes, and Happy 2010!

Scrat and Squirrel

Rob decided that he wanted a pet, so he looked at all kinds of animals and decided he wanted a sugar glider. They run pretty expensive, but we found a family that was getting rid of them. We got 2 sugar gliders, a BIG cage, food and sleeping pouches fir $75. They were really cute, but SO stinky!! They would just sit in your hood or in the pocket of your hoodie and chill out. If they were hyper though, thye'd run all over the room and jump from the couch to the coffee table to the mantle, etc. They were really fun to have! We finally decided to get rid of them because they were getting too stinky and Rob wasnt supposed to have animals in his apartment. We sold them to a family with alot of kids that were SO excited to have them.

Eve

So if any of you have watched the Disney movie Wall-E, the girl robots name is Eve. When one of the girls left the law firm I work at, I inherited her heater because I am always SO cold! One day I realized, my heater looked alot like Eve! So after work we made the heater into Eve, and thats who she's been ever since! She made the move into our new building in American Fork with us, and is now a good friend in our department. (Eve decided to dress up and an angel dog for Halloween, shown here... Thats all for now! :)

Ok, So ive been a LITTLE behind, but I wrote this blog and never got around to publishing it... Anyway, Enjoy, this is my blogging weekend!!!! :)

Kansas!
This week we've been in Kansas landscaping Rob's parents yard. His brother-in-law Ryan is going to school in Albuquerque for it so hes heading the whole thing. Rob and I drove to Vegas late Thursday night and stayed at a friends house so we could leave my car there. Friday morning we flew into Kansas and Rob's dad picked us up at the airport. Monday we started working hard on the yard. We planted 3 trees and then rented a sod cutter from Home Depot and started cutting out the areas in the yard where we needed to replant the trees and flowers. We rolled up the sod and threw it in a truck we borrowed from one of the neighbors. It all sounds so nice and easy but by the end of the day we were all exhausted and worn out.At the end of the working day this is what I looked like.

Even though we were tired, we went to the YMCA so the boys could play racquetball and we could all go swimming. It was a fun way to end a hard day. Tuesday night I started to catch a cold so Wednesday I missed out on some of the flower planting to take a nap... I kinda felt like a slacker but its not fun to be out in the cold wind when youre sick..Tuesday & Wednesday we went to pick up some "Zoo Poop" Really, it was just compost, but apparently they get alot of their "fertilizer and mix-ins from the zoo. :) we rented a tiller and had to till everything all together. It wasnt as easy as we had hoped since the ground was mostly clay. Robs mom, Susan, kept saying that if she knew how to make pots she'd be in business!!! (Which was the truth.. ) We finished tilling and started planting all the flowers and plants. Thursday we finished planting the flowers, threw 2 more truckloads of "Zoo Poop" over everything and watered it all. Afterwards, we all cleaned up, ate and then Rob and I went to a pet shop and played with a little puppy. He was so cute!!!

Thats all I've got for now!!

Christmas in Mexico!!!

Okay, so I still havent gotten any pictures from Christmas... So im going to wait for a few more days to get all the pictures together and then Ill write all about our adventures in Mexico for Christmas!!!!! :)

All right everyone, almost a year later, but I finally got pictures!!! Rob and I followed my sister and brother in law to Mexico, we stopped in Gallup for the night and stayed at a SUPER ghetto old hotel. We all had to squeeze in there pretty good. It started to get really cold so Kimball decided he was going to run out to the car and grab some extra blankets for the kids. He walked out the door, and as soon as it shut, we heard "Hey! Get over here!" a few fighting words and then the van door slam and someone hitting the van, we FLEW to the door, opened it a bit and saw that there was a guy outside standing in front of the van kicking and punching it. We hurried and locked the door, looked through the window all while frantically trying to call 911. We threw the kids in the second part of the room and told them to lie down and be quiet, they were all crying, and it was the SCARIEST thing ever! We kept hearing the (VERY) drunk man yelling and screaming at Kimball, accusing him of sleeping with his wife, etc... His wife came out of their room and was yelling and screaming at HIM. He hit the car a few more times and started to walk out of the Hotel parking lot. Kimball took his chance and ran into the room. The cops came and needless to say it was a VERY long night. The boys kept getting scared and crying and we were all on edge. The guy was obviously druk and on drugs and apparently had caused problems in that town before. The cops went out to patrol and look for him. Warning to all: DONT stay in ghetto hotels in New Mexico... GRODY GRODY people!!! BESIDES all that, we got into Mexico and had a good time, Christmas Eve day, we all went on a hike, (in the nice warm, WONDERFUL day) We had pozole that night as usual and my Aunt Shirley, and the Feste's came over for it. We opened a couple presents that night (the usual pajamas and one of Grandma Taylors gifts) The Browns came caroling to our house (yay!!) and it was fun for Rob to listen to a couple of the Spanish carols. Afterwards we al went to bed and waited for "Santa" to come. The next morning everyone was so excited! When we got downstairs everyone had their own quilt and monthly supply of candy. Rob got some brown DC shoes he needed, a t-shirt, some tools and candy. I got a sweater that I needed, a shirt, some jewelry, and we both got our own supply of bottled beans, chile, and tomato sauce and salsa. :) After everyone opened their presents from Santa, friends, and Mom and Dad, we all went and had breakfast. Bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes, hot chocolate, whatever we wanted! After breakfast we all played with our new toys, watched new movies and ate lots of candy. We got Christmas Dinner ready and ate LOTS and LOTS of food! We basically ate for the rest of the day... yummy! :) My nephews had so much fun playing with their wheelbarrow and garden tools. The day aftetr Christmas Rob and I left so we could spend a couple days in AZ with his grandparents and Aunt and Uncle. Once we got back to Utah it was cold and snowy still... :( but we were glad to be home.
