Tyke!

Tyke is such a big part of our life and i honestly don't know what we would do with our time if we didn't have him to play with and have to watch and worry about all the time. It is honestly like having a child. So when he lived with my parents my dad taught him how to sit down, Ike then proceeded to teach him how to lay down, and this trick is his latest, how to roll over. It is so funny to watch him do it, cause he does it so fast so he can get his treat. He absolutely loves cheerios they are his favorite, along with rice cakes, and rice chex. When ever you can't find him or want him to come back inside the house all you have to say is "Tyke you want a treat" and he will come running inside or over to you so he can have one. I am glad to have tyke to keep me company when ike is at work, it helps it to not be so quiet around the house! Enjoy the video!! :)

Surprise Trip!!

A couple of weeks ago i came home from work and Ike said to hurry and get changed and finish packing my bags; i asked why and he wouldn't tell, but eventually i got it out of him. He had made reservations at the Hilton in downton SLC for us to stay at that night. We headed down to salt lake and went to eat at chili's then went to the hotel and got all checked in. On Saturday we slept in for awhile and then woke up to get ready for the temple, the then ventured off to eat lunch at wingers and then to find parking for the temple. We arrived at the temple to a warm and cheerful smile from the old man at the recommend booth and then onto the dressing rooms where we were greeted again. We did a session which at the Salt Lake temple is a live one, which was cool to take part in and something different then you see in most. When we were sitting in the first room a cute old lady was sitting next to me, she tapped on my shoulder and then leaned over to say it is so good to see young couples at the temple. It was good to hear her say that and made my time even more special. When in the Celestial Room Ike asked me a weird question, which he later told me about; when he told me what it was about i just started crying and knew that i was loved. After we finished up at the temple, we headed over to the gateway to do some shopping and then headed back home. By the time we got back to the car, my feet were killing me, never wear heels for that long of a time period when you haven't wore them in awhile. It was a short, but sweet trip down to Salt Lake, one i will never forget; i am glad my husband is so sporadic and loves to do fun spur of the moment things. I don't ever know what i would do without him; i love him so much and am excited to spend the rest of my life with him.
