Back from Moab

I'm back from our bi-annual trip to Moab. As always I had an great time. One of the trails we rode was called "Top of the world", it had some amazing views. My dad was creeped out by how high these cliffs were.

On the way down one of the guys in our group wanted to stop at "Ray's Tavern" in Green river. It smelled so bad inside that I couldn't bring myself to eating anything. Thank goodness I made a lot of beef jerky for the trip before hand so I had plenty to hold me over until we got to Moab so I could get some real food.

We got my dad a helmet camera for Christmas. This trip was our first time using it so when I figure out how to edit the video I will get some posted.

A Day at the Gateway

Today we had a really fun day. Eric took a nap with Tiki and Vinnie this morning while I got ready. As you can tell there's not much room left on the bed once the dogs get settled. We decided to go to the Gateway. While we were there, we did a little browsing in stores, and walked around as the day got colder and colder. We ate at a new restaurant called Tuscano's Brazilian Grill. It was excellent and strongly recommend it to anyone. We ate way too much, and wanted to eat more because the food was so good! Then we went and saw the movie 'I Love You, Man.' While we were there we saw Mehmet Okur (a Jazz basketball player) at the theater. He is very tall! The movie was hilarious! We both laughed really hard through the whole thing! It was somewhat crude, so if you're not into that, then you would not like it. Otherwise, prepare to laugh your butt off! Usually we like going to the Clark Planetarium as well, but none of the shows worked out for us as we had already seen them all. On the way home we got ice cream at Coldstone Creamery, very tasty.

A weird/embarrassing experience

When I woke up this morning I just didn't feel right. I didn't feel sick, things just seemed off somehow. I got ready for the day and headed into work to take care of a couple things (today is supposed to be my day off). As the morning went on I could tell I was getting sick. I hurried through my tasks and went on my way. I needed to stop at walmart to pick up a few things on my way home.

I grabbed a cart and slowly wandered my way through the store. I picked up a new toothbrush, a paintbrush, and various other items. As I shopped I starting feeling even worse, it was almost as if I had drank a whole bottle of Nyquil, I felt so drowsy. I had made my way about 3/4 of the way around the store and was headed to my last stop. My plan was to make dinner tonight and the only item I knew I didn't have at home was some sage.

As I made my way over to the spices I looked down and realized I was driving someone Else's cart! It was so bizarre! There in front of me was a cart full of another persons groceries and a purse! I immediately looked around but didn't see my cart anywhere. How did this happen? I was so confused! As I looked around I thought surly I would see the owner of this strange shopping cart nearby. No such luck. I wandered back through the store trying my hardest to remember where the switch might have happened. I eventually ended up in the movie section where to my relief I found my cart! I asked a couple of women nearby if the cart belonged to them, but it wasn't theirs. I didn't see any other shoppers around so I parked the cart where I had originally left mine and made my way back to the spices.

At that point I knew I needed to get home and go to bed!

All In One

I know the Superbowl was last week, but we took this picture to put on the blog, so here it is! It was fun making the cake, and the football in the middle is brownie. It was an awesome game!
I was going for the Cardinals, but all in all, it was still a fun game to watch. We watched it at Eric's parents. Before the game we played a game called Buzz on the PS3, it's a trivia game, that is very entertaining!




The next picture is of course Vinnie. He was in one of his happy go lucky moods. Just happy and content. We were trying to get a good picture of him and Eric so you could see how tall he really is, but we weren't able to, but I still love this pic of him and Eric!

And finally this weekend we are tending 'Ghost' until Monday. Her parents had to find her a new home because someone turned them in for having too many dogs. The base is very strict about only being able to have 2. They had 24 hours to decide which of their 3 dogs would have go. She will be going back to the rescue they adopted her from, and I think she'll get adopted fast because she's an absolute sweetheart! I can't imagine making that decision! Anyways, tomorrow we're going to see the new Clint Eastwood movie, we'll let you know how it is! In the meantime we hope all is well!

It's been awhile

I figured we should put up a post since it has been awhile! We have both been very busy lately. Eric has been filling in a lot more at work and will be working as manager for the next month. He's eagerly awaiting the next trip he'll be able to take! I have been working a lot as well. There is not much new to report here. We just hang out with our kids, and are still watching movies like crazy. Hopefully we'll have something soon for a new post!! =o)

Happy to be inside

We got quite a bit of snow today and it was FREEZING COLD outside when I got home from work. I could tell by the scratching at the back door the kids wanted to come in really bad. Vinnie was definitly happy to be inside. (Make sure your sound is turned on) -Eric
