Smidgett

This week, Justin and I (and Helo) have a house guest. Bridgett gets to stay with us while Jake and Ann Marie are in China. Smidgett is a King Charles Cavalier and is the complete opposite of Helo puppy. Its kind of funny to have both of them in the house. Smidgett is so mellow, and at this moment is laying by my feet by the computer, while Helo is in the living room being crazy hyper Helo. Helo attempts to play with her, but she just lays down and takes his tromping all over her head. They also enjoy eating each others food which was pretty hilarious trying to feed both of them this morning. Smidgett also likes to steal Helo's rawhide bones. So needless to say its been pretty entertaining with two puppys in our little Condo.

A Stoney Experience

The Great Stone Face

Petroglyphs next to the porta-potty

The sign we were so excited to see

Fort Deseret

Justin and I recently took a trip to Delta to see his parents. And since Justin and I are terrible people, we did not stay for the full three hours of Church. We had decided a few days before to go see the Great Stone Face for our third hour of church. (Justin had heard Cary, Bill and Gena talk about it on the Radio from Hell show a few days earlier) Apparently, it looks like Joseph Smith, we figured it could qualify as a religious outing.

The Great Stone Face is in Deseret, the town just past Delta. Justin had been there once before, and thought he might be able to find it again. (side note: I later asked Justin who he went with before to see this thing, and he didn't answer me. He told me don't ask questions I don't want answers to....) So we were driving along, listening to Kansas, and we thought we missed the turn, to our great surprise there was sign! So after a very long dirt road, and seeing only one other person, we came to The Great Stone Face!! I then started to think, who was the genius that was out smoking the weeds, and looked up to see Joseph Smith in a rock? After staring at the rock for a while and a few pictures, we got bored and drove away. There were also some cool petroglyphs as well, along side the porta-potty. We also went to see Fort Deseret, since it was right there.

On the way back to Justin's parents house, we decided to take a different way. We kept looking for the Delta Water Tour to figure out where we were, and we figured it would be easy to get back. We were kind of wrong. You have to realize Justin's parents live kind of outside of Delta, in the middle of a bunch of farms. And me and Justin then realized we had actually never explored past where they live. So yes, we were lost. We did eventually find our way back though. Fortunately there are not may roads in Delta.

Helo's Eye Surgery

Well when we got back from Flaming Gorge Helo Went in to get a Lump removed from his eyelid. The surgery went great he came out and looked as sad as can be. He didn't move his head above ground for 2 days until he finally got the strength back and had a constant whine after the surgery for the rest of the evening. He's recovering great now and gets his stitches out tomorrow and I am really hoping that he slows down enough so that the vet will be able to remove the stitches.

Flaming Gorge

We went to Flaming Gorge a couple of weeks ago. an I thought I would update the bloggershpere about the event. We went with Megan's family and had a great time. While I am no good at blogging I will try to entertain all with the events that transpired. We went to Lucern Valley and there some of us camped and some stayed in a cabin on the water (we're glad we camped as we would have been seasick on the cabin).

One day we rented a Pontoon boat and enjoyed the water relaxing, enjoying ourselves, eating yummy food and throwing Helo in the water.

We had a good time and were glad the wind didn't keep blowing the entire time. Helo got home and was exhausted. I think he slept the entire day we got home. Well after we unpacked I think he was afraid we were just dropping him off and leaving him here.

Some Wedding Pictures. we will continue to update these as quickly as we can.
