Good Times

What does it say about you when a good time is getting home from work at 4pm and having a few evenings without commitments? I don't want to know what it says about me but I will tell you it has been WONDERFUL! I have baked, cleaned, sewed, hiked, and done other random things. I can see why people don't coach. It is like at 6pm I am rested and have energy to work out or be productive. When I am coaching it is not even a remote possibility.

Andrew celebrated his first birthday! Amanda made a darling little monkey cake. My favorite part was that Andrew was more interested in making monkey noises than eating the cake.

In the end he ate the frosting and whip cream people kept giving him. He did a good job of being messy.

His new toy from his Utah relatives was a hit. It makes lots of annoying sounds so hopefully his parents think it is a hit as well:)

We celebrated Lorlaie's birthday as well. Here she is with her youngest grandson Brock. He is so cute. Those eyes and cheeks are to die for!

I made Moki some holiday bandanna things from pinterest. I really like them. She is so cute (most of the time) and this just adds to her cuteness.

We are covered through Christmas. So easy to make.

It is starting to get colder here and sometimes we are the only ones on Y mountain. I don't mind. Moki prefers when we see a few other dogs so she can say hi.

I run with Moki every morning before work. As soon as we get home she eats and then passes out in the bathroom while I shower and get ready. I am a little jealous that I have to be awake and go to work and she can just sleep the jog off.

I am envious of her cushy life!

This week was Ben and Olivia's birthday. I loved being able to skype with that cutie. And with Braxton. Braxton LOVES Moki. He just says doggie the entire time we are skyping. He is so cute. I finally downloaded some pictures from my real camera and I had a couple cute ones of these two.

 Love these kids.

Andrew got a track suit for his birthday too. Now all my nieces and nephews can represent!

 As you can see he was super pumped about it. He has a hard time holding still these days.
