lawn

i finally got around to walking the 20 feet to my back yard to take pictures. compare to before(below)

new place for living

sorry for the long time no update....but hey...if your really thirsty, the longer it takes for you to get that cold glass of water the better its going to taste.

So we got a new place, much bigger, better neighborhood that sort of thing. I have been filling my time with keeping the lawn up messing around in the garage. These first pictures are of the work i have been doing in the back yard. We had to do a lot of tree trimming and the bugs that lived in the trees were killing all the grass. So i had to plant some new grass.

This vid is a little tour of the house. It is much more recent and has the back yard now.

*the vid isnt uploading. i have tried 3 times and im sick of having my computer on all day. i'll try later.

now me and chelsey have some big news. After about a year of discussion and preparations we have decided that it is time to add a new member to the family. Her name is Zoe.

she is a french bulldog. They are rare and way too expensive. The are basically deformed bulldogs and because of that it is very hard to have a healthy one, but after many vet test she has an above average spine and everything else is a picture of good health.

She was bread to be a show dog from a line of champion frenchies, but a clef pallet and a extra nipple on one side made her unacceptable to breed. She is three pounds over weight but has already lost about half a pound with us, having to take walks every days and spent 4 days camping. She is very shy at first but now has to follow me or chelsey everywhere. she is very well behaved but she will be going to a training class pretty soon.

We forgot to take a picture but likes the water but because of their dense body and short snouts, they cannot keep above water so she wears a life jacket. (so does the neighbors pug)

Happy birthday mom.

All the pictures/crazy cats

Our three cats in the office window, plus Levi's snowboard

Here is the video I spent a long time trying to update yesterday that didnt work. This is our cat Mo. She (and our other two cats for that matter) go crazy for the laser pointer, which i think is mean to use. Levi loves it. But i dont because after Levi turns it off the cats look for hours for the laser beam even when its gone so i feel bad for them. Mo makes this crazy noise though when she is trying to get it.

P.S. sorry for the turn of the camera!

Im sorry

Im sorry we have been lazy. To be honest, both Levi and I have phones which we can use the internet on, so we hardly ever go on the computers anymore (sadd  I know) 

But, i have pictures from the past couple of months! yay!

Okay. so i lied. I tried to update the pictures 3 times and it gave me "error: try again in 30 seconds" 

So instead, i'll update you guys verbally. We had a nice valentines day. I actually had taken wednesday and thursday off of work so i could go to kirkwood (a ski resort) and work a snowboard demo with Levi. It was really  really really cold and windy, and we were miserable. But they ended up ending the show early on thursday, so we got home early and made a nice dinner together (insert food picture here later) 

Two of our friends have had birthdays recently, so on Friday we took our married friends Jenn and Brody bowling. It was awesome mostly because i won TWICE!!! (amazing i know) and past 100 both times! yahoo! 

Yesterday, we actually were driving back to Jenn and Brody's where we saw a minpin (which is a miniature doberman pincher) Running across highway 80 (which is like 6 lanes of major freeway) we pulled over and were luckily able to save the dog who was running across the freeway with his lease still attached. We couldnt get a hold of the people, so we thought we might be getting a dog! haha, but Jenn and Brody stopped by the ladies house around 9 and she was there, and hadnt even noticed her dog was gone! 

We also are moving may 1st. WE are super excited, and we found a duplex right next door to jenn and brody that we are trying to snag. We went and looked at it and really liked it, we just have to wait until the begining of april and hope its not taken! 

since all of you guys are smarties

So I have been trying to work on rotating my photos. Here is the problem, when i go to open up the photo its rotated the correct way. Then when i click on it to upload it still looks like it is rotated the same way. But, when its uploaded its turned sideways..
Anyone have any idea why?

I've heard that people keep complaining that not enough updating has been done, so here I am with more pictures from whistler, plus more.
Im still having troubles rotating. I really haven't put to much into figuring out how to rotate, because well I'm lazy, but some day i will investigate. Until then you guys will have to live with the sideways pictures! haha sorry!


Here is Levi, all fancy in his snowboard gear. You can definently spot him on the mountain!

Levi and my youngest brother, Robby.

My dad and part of my mom's head. We were changing our clothes for snowmobiling.

A nice view of the slopes from the Creekside Village that we stayed at.

These are our 3 kitties. This is how we usually find them when Levi or I come home from work. This is Levi's computer chair. The one looking at the camera is Jim. The other black one is Junior and the one junior is using as a pillow is Mo.

Im sorry i've been lazy with updating. Since we've ended vacation I've been working 40 hours a week at my job. I love it, but when the weekends come I just want to sit on the couch and be lazy. Plus its been raining which makes my laziness even greater. I promise we'll do better!

Whistler Trip

ok well i'll do this before i forget again. earlier this month i went with chelsey and her familer to WhistlerBlackcomb, Canada to do some snowboarding. it was snowing the entier time we were there, getting about a foot a night. We snowboarded 3 days and went snowmobleing.

This is the view from the place we stayed. im standing on our porch and that is the gondola. it was nice becuase we had a full kitchen so we didnt have to sten $$$ on going out to eat. we just went to the market.

This is us snowmobiling. chelsey is driving. se was crazy and almost knocked me off going over bumps really fast.

just to show what it was doing about the whole time.

Parking lot

these are just omse pictures, i think chelsey has somemore but im out of time...

next week i go to las vegas for a SIA trade show to show options 80809 snowboards to dealers, should be fun. see ya
