The #1 Way to Tell that Your Dog Has An Identity Crisis

I definitely think that Toby thinks he is human. I thought these pictures were super funny!! Sometimes I wonder if Toby realizes he is a dog. He is definitely spoiled rotten. (These were definitely staged and he did not stay like this for long, but they made me laugh.)

Our Yearly Frightmares Trip

Saturday we went to Frightmares at Lagoon with our family. We had so much fun. These are some pictures from our excursion. We went on Wicked for the first time. This ride was so fun, it is definitely one of our favorites.

This is my cute nephew Jake. He was such a trooper and tried some of the rides even though he did not want to. This is him on the Wild Mouse, it was so entertaining to sit next to him on rides. He pulled some pretty funny faces and made interesting noises.

This was the last ride of the night. We love Frightmares and definitely want to make it a tradition of going there. I am an amusement park junkie and am trying to convince Gary that he is too.

Monthly Meals

Once a month Michelle and I get together to make meals that we can freeze and eat during the month. We make one for each of us and make one for my dad also. It is fun to get together and cook, and then it is nice to be able to pull a meal out of the freezer for a quick meal. This month we made Lasagne, Beef and Broccoli, and Calzones. Mmmm Mmmm good!!!

Us Trying to be Homemakers

Gary and I decided that we would try to be little homemakers and try to bottle fruit. We drove down to Spanish Fork and bought a huge box of apples (40lbs.). We decided to try to use half of them for apple pie filling and the other half just bottled apples. We got 13 bottles of apple pie filling and 12 bottles of apples. They all sealed and they look great!! Now the real test begins are they edible?

Sunday we went for a drive up the canyon to see if the leaves were changing yet. The leaves are beginning to change and it is absolutely beautiful. It was such a nice ride. We decided to get out and walk down a trail and ran into this huge cow. This cow looked so stinkin mean and looked like he wanted to charge us. Smart little Toby thought he was tough and had to put in his two bits and bark this did not help the situation at all. Luckily we made it out alright and the cow ran down the path. We love hiking up in the mountains and enjoy being with each other.
