We saw A Christmas Carol last week. I can see how it would be a little scary for kids, but Steph's kids all liked it. And also, Ryken looked super cute in his 3D glasses.We made gingerbread houses with the kids. Some of the frosting was from last year's gingerbread house kit, which made for less then stellar houses.

A Lot of Goings on and Thanksgiving
I hadn't been home since Halloween. Which may not seem like a long time, but, for me, it felt like forever. Thursday I worked half the day, drove 3 hrs to Boise, went to dinner (with Candice, mom and my sisters), Kathy Griffin, and then the New Moon midnight showing all in one day. Yowza, no wonder I fell asleep during the movie.
Then one of her from afar...
Josie's smile is probably my favorite smile ever. We celebrated Nicole's and my birthday on the same day. We decided on Chuck-o-rama, because come on, admit it, it is tasty. And if you get something you don't like, you don't have to eat it. Win/win.

iPhone!!!
I feel like this needs it's own post. The greatest invention of mankind...well, except for maybe the DVR...and the HDTV.

Get it.
Um yeah, that's right, that's Adam Lambert...no seriously, it is. Since he's single now, do you think he might go straight?

Goodbye Boise
Goodbye Dr. Buhrley's office...hello Poky. I lost my job in Boise, but I was lucky to find a job in Poky the next week. I now work for Steph's dentist, Dr. Smith. He lives down the street and he was her former bishop. No more Boise, no more Costco runs with Noelle and Danielle, no more good restaurants, no more decent mall. But it's not so bad, now I'm living at Steph's house...but it can be a little nutty. I feel kinda bad throwing Lola into the mix. Now Steph has to deal with 3 dogs. Sorry Steph...
Aaand...Casablanca.

I'm not dead, I swear...oh and MIDDLE FORK
Yeah yeah, I haven't posted in FOREVER. So I'm going to have to post a few updates to catch up.
In late July/early Aug. I went down the Middle Fork with Steph and her family and our Dad. It was kind of a crazy mash up of a private/outfitter trip. We had to pay a little more then a private trip but we got to take our own boats and then the guides took care of most of the work and the cooking. We went with a bunch of people Steph knows from Poky - Paul's brother Michael and his other brother Mark and his family, Marlee's best friend Sheridan and her family, Kim Smith (my now boss) and his daughter Whitney, and a few other people. I wish Noelle and/or Joseph could have come, but it was still SO much fun. Good fishing, good food, and we were lucky to have great weather.
Let's pretend Steph took a picture of the launch at Boundry Creek...it would have looked like this. (This is really our Middle Fork trip from 05'). But it's one of my favorite things.
Look closely and you'll see 2 rattle snakes in the bushes. This was at Rock Island camp during lunch. Whitney just happened to hear them when she walked by. There was a male and female. It's creepy how well they blend in. This is Sheridan and I entering Tappin.Cole taking his turn running the boat. He was actually doing pretty well.The cutthroat fishing was gooood.Kim Smith (Steph's dentist and now my boss) made us do a group floss every night. Marlee on the tube of my cat.Me and Sheridan on my cat at Indian Creek.
Here's myself, Steph, Sheri, Laramie, Miso, and Whitney at Lune Creek camp. I'd never stayed there but it made for a really cool camp. It was super hot a couple of the days. We put our chairs in the water to cool off while we waited for dinner.Marlee manning my cat.And here's the whole group, although I think dad was tinkering around on his cat and Lloyd was taking the picture.

"Her Name Was Lola..."
Steph and I got our puppies on Friday. Could they be any cuter? Sadly, I had to come home today and left Lola with Steph til Thursday when I go back. But we wanted Lola and Steph's puppy Presley to be together for the week. Here she is Friday, we weren't planning on picking them up til this coming Tuesday, but Steph and I have no restraint. We ended up going back that night and taking them home.As you can see, I took part in one of Marlee's photoshoots while playing with the puppies at Mark and Diana's house.
