Powell Butte

Last Saturday, I dragged Matt out for a hike with me. (He hates walking or running because 'its boring'. ugh.) We went up to Powell Butte and it was gorgeous!! Luckily, Saturday was great weather and no rain, but because we were so high up the wind was pretty wild! We went on a long hike through many different trails. It was gorgeous! There were lots of different trails, mini waterfalls and streams and a great view of the mountains! here are some pics...


This may seem like a lame picture but its the only one I took on the trails :)

This was a gi-normus tree that looked like someone cut it in half!

Bad pic.

We took Molly and let me tell you....she zonked out for the rest of the day as soon as we got home lol I don't think she got off her bed for at least 4 hours to get a drink. This was quite the excercise for her

Tell me this isn't the fattest, grossest, sloppiest dog you've ever seen. Look at those rolls!

Easter

I'm a little slow and I didn't take any 'worth while' pics, but this year for Easter Matt and I went to my parents house after church. We had a yummy ham dinner (of course) and decorated easter eggs with my brothers. It was really nice!

These are my bird nest's I made for my Sunbeams. I realize they look like barf in this picture but I swear they were cuter in person lol i think the kids liked them. I tried convincing them that the eggs were real bird eggs so be really careful not to drop them! But then i saw their believable faces and felt bad so i had to dig myself out of that hole :)
I made my first carrot cake...and besides the lop-sided-ness I think it turned out pretty good. I was so nervous of it being a complete disaster so i went to the store and bought colored frosting to decorate it so it would at least taste good. (but i made the white cream cheese frosting). Matt 'the artist' insisted on creating the design, one carrot. lol here is him in action!

Tah dah!

Steve and I....

I love Steve Nash

so sad

I didn't win any Rascal Tickets. I called every hour from 7am - 6pm for 5 days. What a devastating week

Problem solved.

This is probably going to be the most exciting post ever. Just to warn you,

So every time I take Molly to the dog park or my parents, I have to lay down a blanket on my back seat because she sheds like a horse (Do horse's shed? lol), slobbers like a...bulldog, and rolls around like a bowling ball. Anyway, I'm getting tired of vacuuming out my car because even though the blanket helps catch the hair and drool, it definitley doesn't cover the back of the seats or floor.

I went on Amazon.com (love that place) and found the greatest invention ever:

How exciting, eh?

A Brother's Journey

I just finished reading this book...it was a tear jerker just as expected.
I read the first book that was written by his older brother ('A Child Called It') when I was around 15 or so. I read 'A Brother's Journey' shortly after, and just decided to read it again. I figured with all my free time at work I could be more productive rather than looking at blogs and the news all day ;) I finished this in 4 days and it was VERY good!
