Warning... if talk of vomit makes you retch, turn away now.

We have both worked quite a bit the past few weeks so last weekend we decided to go for a nice drive in the mountains. We loaded the dogs up, stopped and got sandwiches for lunch and headed up through Idaho City to Lowman.
Here is the important part:
Morres Creek Summit makes Ella
HURL
you read that right...
she
chucked chuncks
in our back seat
right past the summit
I really do feel for the poor girl because unless I am driving or take my precious
Dramamine
I puke too
The only other person to
Throw up
in our car was Matt, on our way home from Zions National Park
literally 20 yards past a rest stop.

As you can see, Matt is just thrilled with the prospect of cleaning Ellas puke and then getting his picture taken.

We stopped for lunch between Lowman and Garden Valley.
The view was breathtaking with all the snow.

We got Ella right around Christmas when there was a lot of snow to run and play in so it didn't faze her a bit. Piper on the other hand... not so much. For reasons unknown, she is becoming quite the little
princess

Proof that at the end of the day, they do indeed love each other.

Ella Update

I still cant believe how big she has gotten in the last couple of weeks.
She plays fetch and tug of war
Is learning to sit, although if a treat is involved she cant focus and loses her mind.
She sleeps at the foot of our bed
She is completly housetrained
...unless she is mad at us, or we aren't giving her the sufficient amount of attention...
negative attention is better than no attention apparently
She drinks like a cow, water sopping from her mouth and ears dribbling all over the place when she is done
She is learning to walk on her leash without pulling
except when she is walking with Piper
then its play time.
She is a cuddle bug, but only when she wants to be.
She doesn't know her own strength yet
I SWEAR she has some form of doggie ADD... maybe even ADHD
She deperately wants to play with the cats and cant understand why they just growl at her.
All in all she is such a good dog
and we
LOVE HER!!

Superbowl Sunday

I am not sure if you can tell or not, but this is what we watched the Superbowl on.
It is a 10ftx14ft projection screen.
We pulled all the comfy (and uncomfy) couches from their respective homes and had a nice party onstage. We have way too much yummy food.

Yes... I know its not a picture of the Superbowl.
I think my favorite part was watching the
GHOSTHUNTERS
marathon for a few hours prior to the game.
Yes... I missed all that pre-pre-pre-game crap.
Who wants to watch the athletes leave their hotels... get on their busses,
follow the bus to the stadium, get out of the bus....
blah, blah, blah...
I enjoyed watching Grant (he's my fav) and Jason
instead

Currently accepting donations for a ticket to go see my sisters...

Okay, I am throwing in a few updates. Dont get your hopes up for regular posts though. I am still on hiatus...

I got a bunch of pictures from Shiara and Chante and Eddy right around Christmas. All it did was make me ridiculously upset for the period of an hour because I can't be there with them... now I miss them.
A LOT
At any rate, for those of you that know them, here are a few pictures.
