Cody's Look

I don't mean to show tons of pictures of our dog Cody. I hate when people put nothing on their blog but their pets but I had to share this picture with you. This is Cody's "Dad, STOP taking pictures of me!" look. I give Rob a similar look when he takes tons of pictures of me all at once. He loves playing with our camera. And I have to admit, he does get a lot of good pictures.

Sledding Adventure

Last Saturday I went sledding with a few friends. Unfortunately Rob couldn’t go because he was sick. So I went alone. I haven’t been sledding since I took my niece Haliey up to Snowbird a few years ago. Which by the way is super fun. It costs $5 for the whole day and they have a hill set aside so you can go fast but won’t chance falling off the side of the mountain or anything. You should try it sometime. Anyway, Rob bought me an inner tube a while ago and we haven’t had the time to use it. So today was the day. We spent like 15 minutes blowing the thing up. It was a pain but it was worth it. Or so we thought. Little did we know the second yes second time of sledding down the hill I would slide over some ice or something and come to a screeching halt. Not to mention when I turned the tube over there was the biggest hole I have ever seen in a tube. My friends were nice enough to share their tubes with me the rest of the sledding adventure. When I got home, I bought the news to Rob gently. He didn't take it bad at all. He just laughed.

Rob's Train

I have to admit I fell into the act of impulse buying this passed Christmas season. While I was at the Park City outlets looking for amazing day after Thanksgiving deals, my friends and I came across some toy trains. Rob and I have been talking about getting a train to put under the Christmas tree for years and it didn't seem like something that was going to happen in the near future. Then I found this one. The train isn't fancy by all means but as you can see by the look on my cute husband's face he doesn't mind. He got a train for Christmas! However, like so many other people on Christmas day I forgot to by batteries. Poor Rob couldn't play with his train on Christmas. I blame it on the fact that I am not a mother yet and am not used to thinking of having to have batteries on Christmas day. So to make up for my big mistake I went and bought batteries as soon as I woke up the very next day. Rob didn't waste anytime. I am glad he likes it so much! Merry Christmas Rob!

Part of the Family

This is our Cody. He is the first dog I have ever owned. Growing up we had a couple of cats but they were always outside pets. He is so loveable! A few months back he had to have surgery to remove some bladder stones that had been formed. It was expensive but worth it! The Vet showed us the stones after he pulled them from Cody's bladder. Now I know why they call them stones. They really look and sound just like a rock. It was weird. But, he is our little "bundle of joy". Hehe. The Vet told us the stones were mostly formed from the fat in animal meat. So...Cody is a vegitarian now. Yep, you hear right, a vegitarian. I have never hear of a vegitarian dog. But the food is way cheaper then another surgery.

Cody HATES to take a bath! However, he LOVES the grooming after the bath. We brush and blow dry his hair. Plus after all of that he gets a cookie. So he endures it. He is a really good dog. We love him!

Lost Keys

Rob has finally topped all my "Richelleisms"! We have been searching for Rob's lost keys for at least the past three weeks. The collection included several important keys that if found by the wrong person could seriously put us in a bind. Recently the car alarm had been going off. It was really random but was happening more frequently lately. We tried everything. We took the battery out of my car alarm remote to see if that was doing it. Nope, the alarm still went off. Rob asked the neighbor if he had left his keys over at their place. We seriously thought a neighbor was pushing the button because every time we would respond to the alarm it would be turned off again by the time we got out to the car. Last night we finally decided to take the car into the dealership to see if there was something wrong with the alarm. Today the dealership told us there was nothing they could see wrong with the alarm. That the computer within the car told him it was the "Panic" button being activated. We now thought it had been the neighbor teasing us for sure. On the way home the neighbor told us he didn't find the keys anywhere but that he would keep looking. Well, when Rob got home tonight he looked in one of our recliner chairs and sure enough the keys were in the chair. So every time someone sat in that chair our car alarm would go off because it was pushing the "Panic" button just right. I swear we had looked there. Rob looses a lot of things but this tops then all! However, you gotta love him!
