We've been transformed into M&M's! Aren't we cute? Ok... I better get back to work!

GO JAZZ!!!

Last weekend we scored tickets to a JAZZ Playoff Game!! It was so exciting. We went & stayed at the Hilton in Salt Lake (thanks for the hook-up Kenny!) & enjoyed a very intense & exciting playoff game. Jamie & Tyson joined us for the weekend as well. We had decent seats in the upper bowl. It was a very exciting atmosphere. Now the Jazz just better win tonight!!!!!!! Wish them luck!

Weddings, designing, scrapbooking, hunting, etc....

The last few weeks I have been working on Brady & Erika's wedding invitation. Its been fun! I learned a lot of new tricks! Here is a copy of what they will look like. I will post some of my new favorite design sites here shortly.

Last weekend I went to an overnight crop with my sis-in-laws in Salt Lake. It was tons of of fun! The best part is.... I almost have my wedding album done!! YEAH!! I am only 2+ years behind... but who's counting! I am excited to start into the "digital scrapbooking" era. No more cutting paper for me!!

While I was away last weekend, Gavin & his buddies went to the Mule Deer Foundation Benefit Dinner.. (yes, Michele.. it is a real thing!) He actually had a lot of luck winning prizes. He came home with a camp chair, mug, calendar & a nice gun. He was quite happy! I still have no idea where the money goes.. the mule deer maybe?

So thats the most recent update. We are just keeping busy with work, school, & other
hobbies. We need to get started on yard work & stuff if the weather will ever cooperate! We are so ready for spring & summer! Can't wait!

New Cuts & New Wheels

We have had an eventful few weeks... So here is the update....

Gavin & I both cut off our locks of hair for the shorter do's. I actually got really tired of my hair. It was getting such dry ends, so I went crazy one night at midnight and attempted to cut it all off myself! (I looked like one of the psychos in the movies!) I did a "decent" job, but luckily I got a real hair appointment a few days later! It looks much better! I also gave Gavin a short trim. He likes the shorter style now.. even though I secretly miss the curly locks!





In other news..... Gavin made his first truck purchase! We bought a 2005 GMC Sierra Truck. We love it. Its been fun to have more reliable vehicle, especially since we are driving a lot more. We said good-bye to the Lumina & then got my car into a mechanic for a tune-up. Its nice to have our cars running smoothly now.


For Easter weekend we took the truck for a ride to SLC to visit Megan & Michele & families. It was fun to hang out for the weekend! Its been awhile since we saw the family. Thanks for letting us stay!!! This big house feels a little lonely to me without the whole Welling family around. Thats the way I always saw it. Last week we did get the opportunity to have house guests. Ryan & his family stopped in for a quick visit.

Thats about it for us right now..... Gavin has spring antler hunting fever & goes spotting quite often. So between work, school & hunting, he stays pretty busy. I have just been working hard & trying to keep up with our busy lives.

Happy Spring!

Snow Day!

This morning we woke up to more snow! We got about 12 inches & its still coming down! Church was even canceled. (This made the decision between missing a little church for super bowl party slightly easier for Gavin!) So this morning Gavin got out the John Deere tractor & went to work! It took a few hours & we got out & got a few neighbors driveways cleared. Mom & Dad wanted to see some pics so here they are! Here is Gavin below at the Allisons with Ty & Spencer... The tractor might be stuck! ;)



The garage door is having issues, so unfortunatly we are still parking outside sometimes!







We have a lot of drifts and piles of snow. The piles on the sides of the driveways are now over 10 feet high! We also have a LOT of snow on the roof! There is a 3 foot drift across the ridge of the roof! We are about the only ones with that much on the roof! It must be the trees! This is the snowiest winter that we have seen in a long time! Gavin & I barely remember one this bad! Its been fun though!


Later in the day we went to Kara's families house & hung out! The boys wanted to show off some of their backyard snowboarding skills! The top of the hill is just snow off the deck! So here are some of the videos...




Notice the chunk of snow that his head took out off the jump! He was still all smiles after though!

Update on us!

Its back to school for Gavin. He is still going full-time at Utah State. He also got a job promotion and is now working as a manager. I am still working hard at the HJ. I am very happy that the busy season is over!

We finally have snow in Fielding. At least 8-10 inches. Unfortunately it was too late to start an ice rink. Its getting way to warm & we missed the holiday season to enjoy it.

We are almost settled into the home in Fielding. Well we finally got the Christmas tree taken down, boxes unpacked and most our stuff organized in the house. Now we just need to clean up after ourselves & get caught up on Laundry! Yeah!

So thats the update! Nothing new & exciting! Maybe next time! ;)
