{kong bone}

Apparently the kong bone is like gold to the dogs they fighting over it all night long. I have never seen Hank guard anything like the kong bone.

{fall}

I dunno about all of you but this fall weather is getting me excited about the holidays. Oh wait it's January 19th! Maybe it's because my whole life we have have 4 months at least of snow and this this year we have had 3 extremely small snow storms, but I'm just in a funk. I love snow storms, being able to cuddle up and drink my hot chocolate. Not having snow has thrown me all off and I keep waiting for everything to be right in the world again.
52 degrees with rain not okay for January 19th I'm just saying!

{ringing in the new year}

Our little tradition we do each year on New Years Eve is to go to the most delicious place on earth {the melting pot}. It did not disappoint! But we were so stuffed we barely stayed awake til midnight for a little new years kiss and some firework produced by EVE. I will be copying my aunt kimberli and {trying} to do a photo a day with a small caption so I don't completely suck at blogging this year. Wish me luck!

{christmas pics} - a bit late I know!

We needed a thoughtful gift we could give our grandparents and parents, and since my grandma is always hinting she needs updated picture of everyone, we thought we would follow through and we love them! Of course all rights of the pics belong to my father in law John Luke.

{Gingerbread House 2011}

This years gingerbread house, I never want to see a candy cane ever again!

{phone blogging}

I am trying this out to see how much I like it. It's possible that I will love it and maybe just maybe I will become a better blogger.

Here's the dogs in their thug life & just being cute!

{our year in pictures}

Lilly is just like her GRANDMA STACEY and LOVES to watch Dirty Dancing

Lilly decided that it would be a good idea and eat a WHOLE bag of dog treats, needless to say her belly hurt for a few hours.

Lilly's 1st haircut

Hank wondering why Lilly was gone and why I decided to clean the carpets with the extra large "vacuum"

We had a gas leak in our apartment one day and had to get the dogs out so they got to spend the afternoon at work with me, Lilly LOVED it.

We are always SAFE drivers!

Justin had some time off for Spring Break this year so I took a couple days off to spend time with my ever so BUSY husband, we ran down to visit his parents and well lets just say the not so friendly dog Trace decided to attack when Justin thought it would be funny to scare him. Guess Trace got the last laugh.

Lilly doesn't let Hank get to far out of her sights, she sure loves her big brother.

"Dad, what are you studying all the time?"

"UH, it's so hard, now i know why you are never home."

When you are home alone ALL the time you find ways to entertain yourself, I must say Hank sure makes a SUPER cute girl dog. HA

Hank did not care one bit that he had a bow in his hair, until Justin got home, then he rubbed his head on the ground like he was so EMBARRASSED.

Some CRAFTIES i have been working on lately.

Justin is Hanks favorite, so he does not leave his side whenever he is home.

Hiking Mt. Timpanogos

The Towel Cake that I made for Jenessa's {Justin's sister} Bridal Shower

The Whole Fam

The most DELICIOUS peach I have ever eaten.

The costumes

Jenessa & Kyle's Wedding

He does a lot of this in his spare time

Result of Hank's last hair cut, he freaked out so bad he popped a blood vessel.

More CRAFTIES

Well there you all go that has been our year so far, I think that I will try and be a little better for the rest of the year. Our problem we have decided is we never take a camera anywhere we go so all I have is Iphone photos. So I am not making and promises but am saying I will try and be better! Thanks for reading!
