Family, Skinny Cow, and Horses...

Hello, all!

I am off work today, by some miracle, which gave me some extra time to blog and spend this beautiful Sunday with my wonderful family. You see, I normally work on Sundays at 5, but since I HATE HATE HATE working on Sundays (it goes against all that I believe in about Sundays being my family day and the Sabbath day), I call in before my shift every week just to make sure they absolutely need me. Normally, they say yes come in, so I do, and it is extremely slow and pointless to be there, and I end up going home with next to nothing in tips. But this Sunday, a different manager is closing, one who knows my beliefs and sympathizes with me, so she said I could stay home tonight. So, I decided to celebrate by going on a walk with Cole and Dally, and of course, Sugar. It was so fun! Really, it was! Nature just has a way of completely relaxing me and melting away all of my troubles. We saw some honey suckle, and tasted the nectar from it....if you've never done that, you should...it is fun. And we explored around a pond we found and watched all the turtles, fish, and frogs. Then Sugar ran off and mistook grass for water and fell in. Cole and I just laughed and laughed. She was so cute jumping through the tall weeds of the pasture, Cole and I agreed she looked like a bunny rabbit. :) It was such a good time spent with family and nature...much needed for all of us.

Thanks to a good friend by the name of Polly, I am addicted to Skinny Cow ice cream. Not only are they so so good, they are low fat and low calories! You would never be able to tell though.

Normally, I do not give Dallin much sugar but the other night, I just got home from work, and felt like sitting down relaxing with a skinny cow. I just couldn't resist Dally's precious plea to have a bite....so I thought....why not? And let him have some. We went a little crazy. :)

Not the best picture of me, but it was worth it to show his funny face.

Oh and by the way, I put the ice cream all over my lips on purpose, I promise- just to be silly.

On other news, there is a sweet new couple in the ward who moved all the way from Sunny San Diego. Why anyone would move from there, is beyond me. But last night, they were so nice enough to invite us over for dinner, and then took us to see their horses! Cole and I got to ride them and it was so fun! This isnt a very clear picture, but it was taken from a moving phone, so ....ya. We also let Dallin get on (holding him of course) and he loved it! Too bad we didn't get a picture of that. Oh well, next time.

Well, until next time, Adios!
