sweet picture

Joe took this picture of Ginger. Its pretty cool! She looks like she has a beard because of the snow on her chin. :-)

haircut

So I got my hair cut today. The shortest I've ever had it. I'm not sure that I like it. I really like the back but not so much the sides and the front. I wanted something different and figure its just hair and will grow back. I think I like it best in the pic I have as a header on this page. I may be growing it out now....

Visitors

Nikole and Bert came to visit us while they were on their break from school. It was really awesome to have them here! We went to Sharkey Hot Springs with them and played some games. They went cross-country skiing. I tried a pair on and think it would be fun to do sometime. They were awesome guests and made us dinner the first night they were here. Thanks guys for a great time and we hope you come visit again!

Sad news...

One of our hamsters, Penny had to be put down two days ago. She had an abscess in her cheek pouch and was suffering. She was a good hamster and we loved her. We hope her sister Pearl will be okay without her. Anyway, she was a good pet for us and we know she is better off now. We couldn't bury her since the ground is frozen, but we sent her off down the Lemhi River. Goodbye Penny!

Christmas Time

We went to Kimberly the week before Christmas to visit with Joe's family. They got to go to New York City to visit Rachel and Seth for Christmas, I was so jealous! We spent Christmas Eve and day with my family in Idaho Falls. We had a good time at both places! Joe was so sweet and got me a plain wedding band for Christmas/graduation and a Regina Spektor CD. He is awesome. I got him a Fry Daddy.

Here's Finn with the cool wood car I got him at the Cheerleader Bazaar here in Salmon.

Cute tray

Here's a pic of the cool owl tray I got at a holiday bazaar here is Salmon. Its vintage. I thought it was pretty cool.

Not such a sucessful trip to Idaho Falls

I was on my way to Idaho Falls tonight and was almost to Leadore and I hit a humongous moose. It just appeared in front of me, I was going pretty slow thankfully, about 45. Anyway, it hit the windshield and I think that's about the only think that happened to the car. I am so lucky and think that Heavenly Father was watching out for me. Two guys saw the whole thing happen behind me and they stopped and helped me. They let me hang out at their place until Joe came to rescue me. He drove the car back to our house with the window hanging down on the passenger side. I'm actually really glad that Joe wasn't in the car with me because it all happened on the passenger side of the car. I thought about getting the car towed, but we didn't have towing insurance and it would have cost $210.00. No thank you. Anyway, I guess we were supposed to get a new windshield because it already had a crack in it, now we certainly have to. Here's some pics.

Moose hair in my back seat! Sick!
