february fun

January was a bit beastly with all the snow but we do love it, serious exercise shoveling, intense feelings of coziness, a better snowy winter compared to last year, a ski weekend in park city. we have a lot to be grateful for. Now it's February. my favorite month...i think. i'm turning 26- seriously?! 26. egh. well, oh well. it's filled with red hearts, pink glitter, and happy v-day stuff everywhere. we have lots of fun planned this february and it will be spent with friends and family. Get out and have some fun!

ps. thanks to all the super supporters of missy's crispy's. I had a really successful weekend as a result so here's to a growing year for my new little business!

Merry Holidays and Happy Christmas

THIS WAS OUR CHRISTMAS CARD- IT DIDN'T GET TO EVERYONE SO HERE IT IS.

Merry Christmas!

We wish you well. We hope your holiday is a joyous noel.

This year good friends and family remind us we are blessed.

We got a new dog-his name is Oakley; having him has been a funfest.

We are happy to live in the wild west- riding horses with Oakley this summer was the best. 

The beauty of the Earth we are grateful for, the mountains in Utah are never a bore. Our weekends are filled with nature and that we adore.

 We work so that we can play and hope you can live the same way.

For life’s enjoyments are in the times we share together. Thankfully, our relationships will last us forever. We wish you health, happiness, love and of course good weather.

Cheers to a delightful New Year!

we are glad to celebrate such a glad tiding as the birth of Christ who blesses our lives everyday. it's amazing when you look for him in your life- you will see him everywhere.

the latest

so much is going on, but at the same time i feel like we've just been doing the same old for forever.

we've been having party after party, and if you know me, i'm in heaven.
first, a shower for Alyssa...so excited for her and mike's baby girl to arrive. we wish them health and wellness for a long and happy time with this new baby.
second, a shower for Jade and we are equally anxious to meet their baby boy pretty soon after alyssa. it's an exciting time within our friend group!

next, a super fabulous halloween party because we are lucky to have great friends who come. i think i will say this over and over forever..but i believe we have been blessed with incredible friends. i am not certain why, sometimes i wonder if we will go through an extraordinary hardship and will need all these friends for support or something. but that's kind of a dark thought but i suppose i almost feel guilty to have so many special people in my life...not that other people don't have friends.
it's hard for me to articulate nearly every thought i have.

basically, i'm grateful very much for my friends.

oakley is still a good dog. we got a heating pad for his house but he didn't like it. so now we have a door on it which seems to keep him nice and warm at night. these nights are chilly.
we have to figure out what on earth to do with him during thanksgiving break.

missy's crispy's is now an LLC and business is going grand this halloween season. It's been an exciting one. We will see where it is in a year or so...probably the same place it is now. it's fun nonetheless.

we took some family photos which has never legitimately happened before. thanks to jessica johnson, our sister in law for doing them for us. i'm pleased with the outcome!

we are welcoming the winter except for the deep darkness of every morning. it's terribly difficult to wake up. but it's fun. the big snow storm the other day was fun!!!

happy halloween this wednesday...don't be too scary

weather

 we went to a cabin at Alta...so beautiful. great friends.

 the summer concert series up at deer valley, i'd consider being season ticket holders as it is one of the most joyous things we've done this summer. the setting is gorgeous, incredible music, beautiful weather. how often do you sit on the slopes of a ski resort and listen to your symphony perform...so awesome.

grandma came to town. we are so much alike it makes me really giddy inside. we both love to look up the weather often. for some reason i just love to have an idea of what the weather might bring. don't ask me why. perhaps because my phone shows the conditions when i turn it on. if it's raining, rain drops show up on the screen...of course i think that sort of thing is extra cool...

anywho. summer has treated us well so far. this weekend i'll be working up at swiss days to help miss madi sell her amazing button jewelry. come visit us and help make it a success!

update

we've been having a lot of adventure with Oakley...he is a most wonderful dog and is very well behaved for a 4 month old pup. He is cuter than ever and is becoming a horse-dog. We went on a great ride with him for his very first time and he was awesome. So awesome, that Josh and I are even more excited to have him knowing he already is great with the horses. He got stepped on...and luckily was fine. Now he knows his boundaries are really stays clear of their legs. It has been an adventure and a lot of fun. We're trying to spend lots of time up the canyons at our own cabins, other peoples cabins, trails, and whatever else can bring us outside. July has been great...nothing beats summer (except my new skis that are waiting for me).
a few photos..

new post coming soon...

a lot has happened. i will post soon...i hope. hope hope hope...thank goodness for hope.

it's better than dope...not as fun as a jump rope, certainly healthy..that hope.

is this a good poem?  nope nope nope

raccoon eyeballs

hi, nothing like having a Wednesday off with josh, heading up to the mountains, and coming back as a raccoon.....completely FRIED FACE! hello. haven't seen the sun in who knows how long because even in the summer i work in a deep, dark, basement. hmf. maybe it's my vitamin d deficiency reminding me that i'm deficient. i got enough for like.. 2 days. anyway, it has naturally inspired me to think of missy's crispy's which are going very well actually. i'm looking for people to follow the blog though, will you!? come on. it's easy. seriously. and who doesn't love rice crispy treats. if you're my friend i know you love them because they get devoured everywhere i make them. it's true. and i'm not being prideful, it's actually something i can't help. it's just happened over time which has led to me going forward and hoping to make it into a REAL live business.  keeping my fingers crossed that it works out smoothly.
