GREETINGS

It's time to catch up!!


Let's start with the most recent...


Valentines Day was a little weird because it was on a Sunday.  But, we had a great day nevertheless.  We picked up our new puppy Caper!  We also ate smores in our backyard.  The fire got a little out of hand...  The fire pit might just be for coals, oops!


Introducing the newest member of the Elder family...











Isn't he the cutest?  We love him so much!  This was taken at the dog park we picked him up at.  The breeder was competing in a dog show.

AWWWW



He's actually a really good puppy.  He's never had a #2 accident in the house.  He is super quiet throughout the night.  And he's SMART!  The only problem we're having is him chewing on stuff.  If you go to Blockbuster on Power/Baseline and rent 'Boondock Saints' you'll see what I mean!  He's still getting use to Harry... a dog breeder told me once they get use to each other, Caper will love Harry and protect him!  Can't wait for that!

New Years was fun.  We went over to Christine and Jareds and had fondue and all kinds of different snacks!

A couple of weeks after new years, some of Dan's family came in to town for the car auction (Dan's mom Karen and her squeeze Trent, Trents kids Colton, Raquel, Dan's bro Ben and Trent's parents).  We had a blast with them!  I bumped into Cameron at the auction... and I wanted him to see us later on in the day when we were cruising around in the golf cart.  I think he would've had a good laugh!

This is my dream car... does that make me a dike?  NO!  I'm like a Charlie's Angel; )  HAHAHA!!


CHRISTMAS WAS A BLAST!

Picking out our first Christmas tree, buying gifts for each other, making cookies and gingerbread houses... I love it all.



UTAH!


It was freezing in Utah, but it was so much fun.  I love visiting Dan's family... they are the coolest people I know!
These are our ugly Christmas vests we wore for family pictures.
Daron (Carissa's husband), Ben (with a sweet olympics vest on), Karen and Carissa, Annie, Trent, Colton holding Gannon (Carissa and Daron's son), and Raquel.  Kalen and Tayley aren't in the picture (Carissa and Daron's other kids)


A few pictures of Dan... so hot right now... Dan.

When we go to Utah, it is starting to become tradition to eat at Rodizio Grill!  Delish Brazilian restaurant.
Here we are with Mario and his wife Sharly... love them!

Dan and Mario have been BFF's for a long time... Mario was in the car crash that Dan was seriously injured in.  Mario can attest to Dan's 'brain scabs'.


We went to Utah in the fall as well.  Dan's brother Ben got home from his mission, and also Dan's good friend (and previous roomate) Van was getting married too!  Road trip!

Here's Dan and Van.  Van and his wife Kim are the coolest!
We stopped at the Manti temple... I'd never been.  It's so pretty!


Here's a little treat to make you smile...







Life is good
