The Past Few Months

I haven't blogged the past few months what has been going on and happening. You all know that Scott and I still work together for a while now, but even though we have both been at UPS for a few years now, its still sometimes difficult to get vacation time together during the times we would like. We initially planned to take a week of vacation for our anniversary in July. But since we weren't able to get it for that week we had decided to plan it for just a random week in September. Its already been 2 years.... can you believe it? Oh how time flies!
We decided to go fishing and to make it a trip to the cabin in Middle Canyon and to stay a night or 2. We just wanted to relax, enjoy the quiet and get out of the city. So we packed up the kids (Manny and Presley) and left early in the morning and drove up to Settlement Reservoir to go fishing. We only had 1 problem though. We forgot how much Manny loves the water and just cant resist to stay out of it. Needless to say, we couldn't get him to stay out of the water and they both loved the mud, we weren't catching anything so we decided to cut the fishing part short. You can see how muddy there paws are in the picture above. So we drove to the cabin from there and just hung out and played with the dogs. We built a fire and ate hot dogs and enjoyed relaxing.
Since we now have the youngest baby Presley, we decided that for this winter they would need something enclosed and big to keep them warm and out of the snow when they are out in the kennel. Se we decided the easiest and cheapest way would be just to build a dog house that would fit both of them if they were both in it at the same time. So we got some extra wood from my mom and got the rest from Lowes. So my manley husband got to work and within a day and half we had a dog house. It took Presley some time to get used to it, but after a few days she became comfortable with it enough to go in and out and to play hide and seek with Manny.

This week was Thanksgiving. We were able to spend dinner with the McCleery Family and desert with the Okelberry side along with some of Rusty's family also. (My sisters in-laws) not many pictures of my family unfortunately, but just a few of the McCleery Family.

This has been a great week spending it with Family and relaxing at home. Today we were able to take the dogs to there favorite park to get some extra exercise. We just though we would share with everyone one of Manny's great talents and hobbies..... Going down the slide. Happy late Thanksgiving to all.
