Here is a quick update!

We rented our home in Tremonton and hope the renters will buy it in February....fingers crossed!  Since September we have been living in the trailer aka "breadbox" with two hyper dogs.  We are so ready for a yard for them to run and play. In the meantime we are camped in a trailer park which is a interesting experience, pictures to come.

 We found a wonderful home on the River and made a offer on it, only to find out it was in a flood zone and we were unable to get it.  We went on the search again and found another lovely home with 1.22 acres.  Mark gave up the garage and I gave up the garden tub, in exchange we bought a home with all wood and tile flooring which is perfect for us!  The house is quite colorful, unlike anything we have ever lived in, so we gave it a nickname....the Whimsy House.  Not sure how much we will paint and where to start, but time will tell.
It is really different than the neutral colors we are so use to, heck change and color can be good!

                           Here we are on moving day from Tremonton, a sad and bittersweet day for us

                                                           
                                                           They are a confused, especially Allie

                                                   My sad kitchen, everything gone

Almost done, it will be sad to leave our friends, the town and the ward.  We have really loved it here.  (why are moving again?? oh....that's right Mark is transferred and loving it and doing very good)

This how we were greeted once arriving in Farmington, NM.  A drunk!  We called the cops to come and arrest him, welcome to New Mexico.  What planet did I land on?

Updates!!

We will be moving into our new home this week and I will update the blog with pictures!

Jackson Hole Heaven and Paradise

Mark and I got to attend his works Managers/Vendor show in Jackson Hole and it was the best time.
We stayed at the Snow King resort with a view of the Tetons, enjoy the cooler weather and just had a lot of fun.  We could'nt go to Jackson without going to my favorite place Yellowstone aka Paradise.  If I could live there I would!  The bears were out in numbers and the cubs, just didn't get good pics, and our little pioneer cabin wasn't too bad.  I can't wait to go back............with Mark in New Mexico..........just might road trip back up there!

Our Jackson Hole room was really nice

The view from the room was really pretty

Mystic Sunsets, Dog Play and New Mexico Update

Unnecessary "Ruffness"!

Mountain Day Hike-Logan Canyon

Please let me swim!

Very Misty Sunset- It was awesome

New Mexico Update:  House sells are picking up,  Mark says he

likes it there.  That's it.

Landing on the Surface of the Sun and Weddings!

On Friday June 4th I flew from SLC in 60 degree weather, partly cloudy and breezy and within 2 hours I landed on the face of the sun! Quite a shocker coming from the north to the heat of Phoenix, but of course there was a good reason to attempt the "suns heat" this time of the year. It was Skyler and Lindseys wedding in the LDS Mesa Temple the next day.

As always seeing all the kids with their own families is a huge reward, regardless of the weather. Yes, camera was in hand as always. One day the strap will have to be surgically removed from my neck! So without further comment, the picture highlights:  (I have all pics on Face Book)

                                                                        

This was a fun game!

                                                                        

Just another hike,cougars and pics.....

I love hiking, in fact it is the best time to get out, relax and let the pups run. Lately that has been hit and miss with the weather here. Snowing one day, sunny next and then rain or snow again.

Just a few weeks ago we had a cougar down the road, the pic was taken by the PD. I had just driven under the bridge a few moments before and hadn't seen the Cat....(bonking head) I watch for them when we hike, camp and ATV but never thought to look just a mile from the house!

I will miss this place.

I love this picture!!

He is bigger than Allie now

New Mexico Bound

Yes it is true, we are packing up and moving to New Mexico.  We have loved living in Tremonton with good friends all around in this small country town.  Mark accepted a transfer to manage the store in Farmington, New Mexico and has already started working there.  He hauled our travel trailer there and I am left to sell the house which could be awhile in this market.  So it's me and the kidlets just hanging out and hoping for warmer weather which it looks like we are finally getting!
