No hamsters were harmed in the making of this video...

Rascal the dog has a toy he's crazy about!!

How he can open his mouth wide enough to fit this baby in there amazes me!

We promise, no hamsters were harmed in the making of this video...

The best of college life...

The other day, 
Paul and I came home from the Stake Single Adults' Breakfast Activity
to this cool-looking doohickie on our front porch.


Yes!! 
How fun does that look?!!

One of the twigs' favorite things


 about college life
is the plethora of recreation/physical education classes 
they get to take 
and this semester they're both taking skiing and golf.
Our girlie is also taking racquetball.



Their pal, Will, is taking a snowboarding class
but the classes are at the same time so they carpool together
and get to ski together after their lessons.


It's only been two weeks 
but the stories when they get home are so much fun!!!!! 
I'm sure grateful 
our twigs like to tell us their stories 
because we sure like to listen!


Thanks for sharing your pics, guys.   
=D

Blue hour at the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve....

It was so nice outside tonight 
that we took Rascal for a walk 
around the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve.


When we arrived, the sunset was painting the sky in shades of orange. 


Rascal was pretty excited
with all the scents his nose was picking up! 
=D


One of my favorite sounds 
is geese honking as they're in flight. 
We get to hear them often where we live 
and I love it - like, a lot!

BTW, Paul says he knows why
geese fly with one leg of the "V"
longer than the other...


He says it's because there are more geese on that side...
Ba dum chhh!

In just the short time it took to walk the boardwalk loop, 
the sky had changed to blue hour.


What a beautiful world!

Shoveling snow for Rascal...

Rascal LOVES to catch snow!


It's tricky to shovel when he's outside 
because he'll get right up in the action 


and stop the shovel, mid throw, 
for trying to catch the cold white stuff.


When we can get the snow off the shovel 
it's pretty entertaining.






We sure like this dog!!
