Harley Bug

Sorry this picture is turned the wrong way but I dont know how to fix it!

 I know it has been a while and I am finally getting around to posting about my Harley Bug!!  We got our Harley on I think the 28th of September, and I feel as if I have been chasing a two year old ever since, but we love him!  He is a black/chocolate lab that my beautiful sister so nicely discovered for us.  I had been wanting a puppy since we lived in Spanish Fork but we couldnt have one up there, so I was exstatic when Jay told me I could have him!!  He is now 15 (i think) weeks old, and still living inside.... Still waitin on Jay to build his pen outside!!  I have an odd feeling he will be inside all winter!  But I am okay with that as long as he finally gets this potty training idea down!  But we are doing better!!  I am so happy to have him he has been keeping me company during the long days as Jay has been working any where between 9 & 15 hours a day for the last month!!

Viva Las Vegas Picture Overload

This last weekend Jay and I along with his brother Jed and his wife Mandi and their two kids took a trip to Las Vegas to see Jay's Grandma who's health is quickly declining.  We were so grateful to be able to take the time to go down and visit with her and all of the other family who lives there and also the ones who were visiting as well.  On Saturday we spent the morning with the family, we went to breakfast and then out to the dam (we go see the dam every time we are there and this time the bridge was actually finished...pictures to follow).  After that we went back to Jay's Uncle Terry's where we were staying, we all had a little bit of a nap and then the kids went swimming.  After all of that we went to visit Grandma Bender (who was at dialysis while we were out playing), It was soooo good to see her, we hadn't been down to see her since April or so when we were helping Uncle Terry put new shingles on his roof.  We visited for a while and then we decided to see if Grandma Lila (Jay's mom) would watch Jed and Mandi's kids so that we could go down to the strip for a while.  She gladly accepted and off we went.  I was so excited because I finally got to go to the Bodies...The Exhibition.  I have been wanting to go ever since they had it up at the University of Utah.  It was very  possibly THE coolest thing that I have ever seen in my life!!!  I would go back a million times over!  We also got to go through the Titanic museum thing that is right next to the Bodies one.  It was pretty cool to walk through and see some of the things they have found in the wreckage and see how preserved it is for being under the water.  It was insane!  We then headed down to the Belagio to go see what they had done with the garden this time, and to watch the water show.  The garden was GORGEOUS with the fall theme, they had some seriously huge pumpkins there, and the water show was by far the best I have seen!!  We had a great time and we were able to go spend some more time with Grandma Bender before we left for home on Sunday.  I wish that we were able to go down more often to spend time with our family down here!  We definitely don't get to see them often enough!  I am sorry that some of my pictures decided to turn sideways after I uploaded them...but it wont let me put them on the right way?  Dont ask me!

 

Utah State Fair

On Saturday Jay and I went to the State fair because military, police, and firemen got in for free because it was 9/11.  We had a blast when we finally got up there!!   It was a crazy day to say the least.  We left Fayette around 11am and got to the state fair around 5:30 pm.   We had intended on being up there around oh ya know 2 pm or so...but we ended up having to go and rescue our friends Cody & Brittney.  They were out on the west desert looking for deer because Britt has an archery tag.  They got out there and parked their truck and walked for about a half our maybe fourty-five minutes, and came back to the truck just to find out that their battery had died.  They were out in the middle of no where with very little cell phone service, and there are only 2 people who knew how to get to where they were.  Us being one of those two, and the only ones they could get a hold of.  So needless to say we drove an hour out of our way to go and jump start their truck.  The only bad part was the fact that we were in my Focus.  Yes that's right we went off roading in my Focus to save them.  We got a little ways from the truck and came to a huge hill covered in rocks and there was no way my car was making it up that without blowing a tire or an oil pan or something!!!  So we thought we were doomed.  Then Cody had the brilliant idea to take the battery out of my car and hike up to his truck with the battery and hope that his truck will start.  After walking for what seemed like forever, we finally got to the truck and THANK GOODNESS it started. So then we drove back to the car put the battery back in and then headed up to the fair.  I was a little frustrated but happy that we were able to help them out!!  When we finally got up to the fair we spent our time walking through the exhibits and booths and checking everything out.  Then we remembered that with our fair entrance we also were able to get into the rodeo they have up there.  So we decided we would go to the rodeo and when we got there to find a seat we very quickly realized that we should have went over there MUCH MUCH MUCH earlier than we did.  Needless to say we did not get a seat for the rodeo so we left the fair and went bowling at BYU instead.  We had so much fun and in the end we were happy that we didnt get to the fair until later because we ran out of stuff to look at after being there for an hour and a half!!  All in all it was a great day!!
