World's Largest Dog Bed

Sadie is getting a little bigger, and has learned how to jump up on the couch and also on what she now thinks is her very own dog bed! Guess the LoveSac is good for something!

Weekend Away

Jarad and I were lucky enough to get away to Utah over President's Day/Valentine's Day weekend. It was a very short trip but we had lots of fun and even got to relax a bit.


Our flight there was on a very small plane! We even had to walk outside on the tarmat to get on the plane.


If we look a little worn, it is because we had worked all day and then headed straight to the airport to fly out.


While we were there, we got to eat at one of our favorite Utah resturants- Cafe Rio! YUM!!!


The main reason for our visit was to celebrate Grandpa's 80th birthday. We had a few different celebrations; an adult dinner, a kids party and then an open house. Here is Grandma & Grandpa Tangren at the open house.


We also had fun seeing our Reno neices. Here is Aleah!


Here is Sienna and Mya after playing at the open house.



Jarad in his element! He was helping his aunt take pictures of everyone who came to Grandpa's open house.

We are lucky that our good friends Cole & Maura were willing to put us up for the weekend.

Cole & Maura enjoying some Iceburg shake!


We got Iceburg shakes on our way back to Cole & Maura's after the open house. They have the BEST shakes!


We also got to see our little niece Kate! She is getting so big!
She was loving trying out some new toys.


We sure do love her parents- Chris & Tarina too! So good to spend some time with them as well in the short time we were in Utah.


I was also able to go out to breakfast with a couple of my girls! Thanks Mel & Chrissy (doesn't she have the cutest little basketball belly?!) for coming to breakfast. It was so good to catch up!

We also celebrated Valentine's with a dinner at Teppanyaki's with Cole & Maura before we flew back to Colorado.

Our chef made this fried rice heart for us. Hibachi-style cooking is really fun!


Us- Happy Valentin's Day babe! Thanks for taking me to a nice dinner.


Thanks to Cole & Maura for celebrating love-day with us, putting us up for the weekend, and for being such great friends! We are so excited to meet baby Lansford next time we come!

Superbowl Sunday Dinner

We watched (well mostly just the commercials) the Superbowl with Jarad's side of the family. There was plenty of tasty food and we had lots of fun!


Our little family...don't mind me looking like death...I was getting the flu!


While we were there, we got to play the new Wii Fit Plus. Jarad played a funny game where you have to be a bird and land on certain targets. I couldn't stop laughing!! Fly baby fly!!

Sadie's Life

Sadie has a pretty sweet life! She eats, sleeps, and loves to go on walks!


Even though it has been cold and there is still a bunch of snow, when it is sunny and not too cold, we take Sadie for a walk.


But most times we end up wearing mud shoes!


Sadie is so light, that when she walks on the snow, she stays on top and doesn't fall through most of the time. (Look how dirty she is!)


You know what they say....doggie like owner! They love taking naps on the couch! Two cuties!

Goodbye January, HELLO February!!

I just have to say that I am so so so glad that January is over! Every year I feel like it is the longest, most drab month! January is so cold and boring and doesn't have any super fun holidays to look forward too. So I am happy to say so-long for this year!



Hello February! I like Feb. It is short, fun and puts me one month closer to Spring! And it is the month of love, which I enjoy! :)

Happy February to all!!
