When I was younger I used to make silly videos ALL the time. My kids have been asking me to do a video with them, so we thought it would be fun to put something together today. We had a lot of fun, and now they have lots of ideas for future shows.

Please enjoy our first little home video...The A & S Cooking Show...

I have avoided posting and telling my family about my new dog - because I really hate the confirmation that I am crazy for having so many dogs. But since we've had this guy for a little while I decided to tell my Mom tonight. I'm sure she thinks I'm nuts, but we really like him - he's been a lot of fun and makes us feel super safe.

Now I can blog about him... here is a video of him tonight, he's quite the character...

My husband has been spending some time in Arizona doing some bird hunting. He called the other night to let me know that a pack of wild Javelinas (as pictures below) attacked our dog Darko. There was 6 of these ugly beggers trying to take our dog down.

If Kirklan wasn't there, we would of had a dead dog on our hands. Luckily he (the dog) survived with some injuries, but Kirklan said he is doing good now.

I'm sure Kirklan will blog more in detail what happened when he gets back from his trip.

Man, those are some ugly pigs!

We have been taking advantage of this cold weather. Me and the kids have been out sledding almost everyday this past week. Yesterday we woke up bright and early and went sledding before Church. It was a fun way to start our day, the kids had a blast! Here are some pictures from yesterday...

I feel the need to dedicate a post to my lack of NO LOVE for the pug. I am sorry, but this is one dog I really have a hard time with.

I think it stems from my neighbors 3 yappy, serioulsy annoying dogs. We've been here a year, you think they would be somewhat used to us by now.

I walk to the mailbox, I have 3 pugs nipping at my feet.
I pull out of the driveway, I have 3 pugs chasing my car.
I sit in my office, and hear 3 pugs barking out my window.

I pretty much despise them, looking at them makes me ill.

Quite frankly in my book they are PUGLY FUGLY!!!!

There is only a small space in my heart for one pug. His name is Sonnie, it's my friends dog. He's kind of special so I like him. I tend to like special things in life. He's a cool dog, but the other 3...oh gosh they frustrate me.

Here is a picture of Sonnie...now that's a cool dog...

(Jenni I hope you don't mind me stealing the pic )

*Sigh* I've had just about enough with these pugs.

Pug ya later

I wanted to share something that our family loves! We were introduced to Kids E-mail by my wonderful brother in law, who is also the creator of this awesome e-mail program.

We have set my oldest daughter up with her own e-mail account. Shylee absolutely loves having her own e-mail address.

I wanted to get out and do something today. Me and Shylee headed down to the river for a walk in the snow  just to take some random pictures. Here are a few of the pictures I took today. ...Enjoy!

This stupid girl I know decided to take her dogs out for a small walk. It started out good, but that didn't last long. This girl lives by her mother in laws house, and her mother in law has 2 precious cats. Well, all 5 dogs b-lined it to the in laws house. Stupid girl was SCREAMING at the top of her lungs for the dogs to come back, but non of them listened. Next thing stupid girl knows - she can hear here Mother in law screaming and dogs barking.

Stupid girl then runs across the snowy field to see what terrible problems have been caused. Thank the heaven and the earth none of Mother in Laws cats were hurt. But the dogs (and stupid girl for letting out the dogs) nearly gave Mother in law a heart attack as she fended them off her porch protecting her cats. So then the next task: stupid girl had to get all 5 dogs back to the house.

Let's just say... 5 dogs, no leashes - 2 dogs at least 70 lbs, 2 dogs at least 50 lbs and 1 under 10 lbs - not an easy chore for a lone stupid girl.

But stupid girl got the dogs home. THANK GOODNESS

Thus the note to self: It's really pretty stupid to take 5 dogs out at one time...that's like a freaking herd of cows, who does that, seriously...

Apparently stupid girl does :)

This past weekend while in Utah we ventured out to Midway/Heber area. My Mom told me about this cool Ice Sculpture that I HAD TO SEE..I thought it would be cool, but it was COOL! I really liked it, super impressive. I had to share, I think they are so pretty.

Isn't is beautiful? Ahhhhh gotta love ice :)
