Ben Golfing!

Ben loves playing golf. He has a group of friends that he goes out with often.  He has gotten really good and really enjoys it!!

Hair Cut

I got a hair cut. I cut off about 4 inches and cut bangs.  I am excited for the change. Here are some pictures!

Plowed Over By Annie

Saturday, we gave Annie a bath (When Annie get’s a bath she gets very hyper and excited. She runs around very fast with checks flapping) and so Ben took her in the backyard and was playing soccer with her. He kicked the ball; she would attack it (at full speed) and bring it back.  In the back yard area there is a small hill by a back fence, so I was standing up by the fence watching as Ben and the dog played.  Annie was running full speed past me when Ben kicked the ball and it hit the fence and rebounded forward.  Annie tried to change directions to get the ball, but in her hyper full speed, turned right into me and PLOW!! She took my legs right out from under me (hit by a 60 lb dog running full speed).  I flew until to the air and landed in a shocked heap on the ground. (Don’t worry Annie got the ball!) I just laid there on the ground trying to figure out if I was broken for a couple minutes while Ben roared with laughter.  (He is so sad he didn’t have a camera.) I was fine but as the day went on I kept finding bruises and sore spots from getting wrestled by a dog.   I still have not determined what lesson I should have learnt from this…incident.  Watch where you’re standing during soccer games?

New Car

For the past couple of months we have been looking for a new car to replace our Tarus. We bought the Ford Tarus right before we got married from Ben’s grandmother it had almost no miles but was almost as old as I was (19 years old). It has been a wonderful car lasting us through three blissful years of marriage but there have been some bumps along the way- fuel pumps, ect. Last year it started leaking oil and as a result- smoking. This smoke filled the car if ever the heat or ac was on- so the climate control was a problem. We finally decided this was an engine block problem and couldn’t be fixed; Hence us looking for another car.

After months of looking, we finally got another car!! There were some people in our ward who were selling a Toyota Avalon. It is older (’99) and is very FANCY (heat warmers and a sunroof). It is so nice and we feel so special having it!!
