Tag of 3's
I was tagged by Sotutu to share 3: joys, fears, current obsessions/collections, and random/surprising facts! I have never done one of these tag thingers, so you should feel pretty darn special Sotut that I'm following through for you! :)
3 JOYS
1. Olivia Rae. She is the sweetest, cutest and funniest little thing that has happened to me. She makes my days happy and I can't imaging life without her! We Love her to death.
2. Johnny Jo. I couldn't have had Olivia without Johnny Jo. He too makes me happy and feel loved and we have soo much fun together. He keeps my life adventurous and exciting!
3. Exercise. I love to get out and get my sweat on! Exercise is important to my overall well being and happiness. I love the feeling after a good long weight session or run! There is nothing like those endorphins!
4. Had to add a fourth because I couldn't pass up the mega Joy of living so close to Grandma and Grandpa! I love our new neighborhood and being soo close to the mountains and fun jogging paths and hills and also being soo close to my moms house...only a 1/2 mile away. Olivia is SO lucky to have such an amazing and fun G-ma and G-pa so close to where she lives! We love you :)
3 FEARS
1. Having something happen to me that would disable me from doing normal, everyday, enjoyable things. I often go about my daily duties and adventures and not take time to appreciate my abilities and how blessed I am to have such a wonderful life and functioning physical body!
2. Being Badly Burned.
3. Having anything happen to my child or losing a close loved one.
3 Facts
1. I LoVE the sound of the Dishwasher and the Washing Machine, it sounds SO clean!
2. I am currently obsessed with Baby Bumpkins and new ideas and projects to work on. I love buying new felt, fabric and any other crafty type of item.
3. I am an ANIMAL lover and have had many pets in my day. We've owned many cats (not all at once) Tilly, Muffy, Taffy, Freebosh-a stray that I insist we keep, Morris-another stray I insisted we keep even though he had a fatal case of disturbingly gross WORMS. I owned a red-eared slider turtle named Ricoh and we also had homing pigeons, a rooster and a hen and last but not least my awesome dogs Kiya and Thor. I once tryed adopting a Ferrel breeder Chinchilla, named Saturn, that Johnny found in an engine of a car. I again insisted Saturn come home so I could love him (an engine is NO way to live) and let's just say he didn't stay long, after drawing much of my blood his many attempts to flee finally were successful! I don't watch sad animal shows, I hate all horse movies, and I cannot go to the pound. When I was young my family barely hit a deer on a family road trip and I cried for hours and forced my dad to drive at an INCREDIBLY slow speed the remainder of the trip home. So I am a soft-hearted SUCKER for animals, what can I say?
4. I love shooting guns and going fast. I like being dangerous and getting an adrenaline rush, but I still look so good doing it! *;)

It's OK if you don't do it, but I would be interested to read your answers.

Hog Sunday
Johnny got a new Hog. It's sweet and it's saving us oodles of $$ on GAS. After spending over $1000 in gas a month we decided to make this little investment to improve our money situation, and of course Johnny was ALL OVER this one! (On ONE condition of course, that it have a seat for me!) It's a Harley Nightster and I look really good on it. Example:
Last Sunday we dropped Olivia off at Uncle CJ and Auntie Di's house to play with Nessa, so that we could start our new Sunday tradition motorcycle ride! (THANKS again CjandDi for watching our little squirt, we had such a blast!) We rode over South Mountain where you can see the entire beautiful Salt Lake Valley from one side and Utah Valley from the other side of the mountain! It was such a fun ride and I found that I love when other bikers waved to us (ha ha). This bike is like an automatic ticket to a secret club...we're totally in it now. Good thing I don't own my own bike because I might ruin this secret club thing and wave to EVERYONE, man I can be so friendly sometimes.
Me looking over SLC and Us chilling on the South Side over Alpine.
Let's just say...Johnny loves it, and Yes, I think he IS in fact trying to lick it!
All of his HARD WORK is paying off! Love you Babe.
On Your Mark...
Jane, Angel, Duane, Me and Caryn ran another race! This time it was the City Creek Canyon Half Road/Half Trail. It was a TON of fun, great weather, perfect temp, fun friends and lots of sweat...which always feels good in the manana! I've never "officially" raced a trail run--UPHILL, but we'd been practicing for a couple weeks and we did great. There is nothing like being in the beautiful mountains on a saturday morning, all for some sweet racin' exercise!
Look at that poor guy trying to keep up ;) I was exited about finshing, I think I kept waving at the camera! ha (Thanks for taking pics Mistie!)
We made it!

Halloween Clips
Hey everyone, in case you haven't looked at our site lately we've come up with some new Halloween Fuzzy Bumpkin clippies that I think turned out cute. Along with these Halloween ones we also have our Baby Bumpkin clippies that aren't felt, smaller but just as cute. Also want to thank anyone whose put our button logo on their page or has spread the word. We really appreciate it.
We'll be making more adorable fall/holiday clippies within the next week or two.

It's NOT Funny Anymore!
Okay now, for the past few weeks Johnny and I (and anyone who comes over) have been finding some "Little Fella's" trying to make our basement their home, today within a 15 minute time period....I found these FOUR spiders & TWO ugly beetles:
It's NOT Funny Anymore. It's Gross and it's makes me paranoid, itchy and want to wear shoes in my own house. I do enjoy killing them, this is the only pleasing thing that comes of this ugly creature. If I don't control this problem soon Olivia will be trying to catch them (as she does many other bugs--ants & potato bugs) . I don't want to find her with a few spiders in her hand, some in her belly and a couple of their legs in her mouth. What then?

Ewww.
On a positive note: These ugly spiders inspired me to make a cute clippie to match!

Why Not?
So...my awesome sister-in-law bought a little pool for her 4 neices while she babysat for an entire week...why not, right? When the week was done, she shipped the kids home and shipped that pool straight to me! Woohoo Free Pool! It might be a little crumpled and won't stand up straight, but it still holds WATER and what do we love best in the summer, uh huh!!
Another fun day with Olivia's cousins! [Pool Party at my house next weekend...EveRyOnE's invited!] ha
