What we have been up to.....

Well, we decided to keep the pup, and have a name for her now!

Ellie Belli.

She is crazy and has never ending energy and she is driving us completely nuts......but we love her too much and couldn't give her away. She is getting a tiny bit better......she still chews on almost everything in sight....including my table chairs (ahhhh!) but she is making less accidents in the house, which makes life so much more happier for me! I am kinda a neat freak....I think I am OCD when it comes to having a clean house. She is going to go to obedient school at the first of December, so they can teach ME how to train her.....cause I have no clue what I am doing!

We love it when she sleeps....it gives us a little break from all her craziness!

Ohhh, she looks so sweet, doesn't she?

BUT we know better!

She is the biggest stinker ever....I am pretty sure she has replaced Marley in "Marley and me" as the worlds worst dog!

Like always, we are always trying to improve our house....it's never ending.

WE GOT NEW DOORS! YAY!

Here is the BEFORE picture of the front door:

It's not that bad looking of a door, but it wasn't energy efficient and let a lot of cold air in our house, so we replaced it!

The new door !!

DOOR # 1

Door #1 painted! RED! LOVE IT!

I have always wanted a red door, and now I have one! :)

DOOR #2

How about that doggie door?!?

Kinda big, the people who lived in our house before had a HUGE dog.....

not like our little Elle.

New energy efficient door.....

In RED too! :)

So, painting doors stinks....it's not easy! I thought it would be SO easy, that it would only take us a couple of hours.....not so much. More like all day! It required 4 coats! Blah....we'd be okay if we NEVER EVER had to paint a door again!

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!

Ryan put them up before the snow come. YAY!

She is just so cute.....I have to post the cute pictures of her.

It's our little family....and she is like my baby...

so I like to show her off.

She actually didn't mind her bath....she is a funny dog.

YAY !! It's NEW MOON time !!

FINALLY! After a year of waiting, it's finally here! We are so excited!

We get to see it Nov. 19th....a WHOLE day before it is suppose to come out!

We're having a GIRL night....and it's going to be great!

Thank you Jamie and Kassie!!! :)

Then, one time isn't enough, we are going again to see it the next day!

I love pictures.....so of corse I have to post all my favorites.

Oh, cute!

LOVE....her shoes!

....and her dress!

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

We have had a busy October, lots has happened! We've gotten a lot done on our house, insulation in the attic, all new windows through out the house, and two new energy efficient doors. So far, it seems to make a difference, last winter we almost froze to death cause our house was so cold, but now with all we've done.....we hope its warmer....it better be!!! Windows are not cheap!

We also got a puppy. She is so cute! She is a Scottish terrier ( Scottie dog) and very, very busy....like most puppies. She is such a spaz....we'll just stand there and she'll run circles around us like she is crazy.... she has so much energy. Her hobbies right now are to chew, play with her squeaky toy and get into everything. We haven't named her yet......we can't decide on a name. We've had her for almost a month.....and still no name.....we are such slackers. We have been thinking about Sophie or Lucy.....I like Sophie the best....but Ryan is still deciding if he likes it. Any suggestions? We actually haven't fully decided if we can keep her, we want to, but we are worried that she doesn't get the attention that she needs, we are always gone at work.....and she is alone a lot. We love her, and have grown very attached to her.....we just want her not to be lonely. I hate, hate, HATE decisions......we don't know what to do!

The Halloween season this year was fun, we were able to go to 2 haunted houses, a corn maze, and had plenty of late night scary movie watching. This year for Halloween, we were 1920's Flappers. We got all dressed up and went to the Weber state Halloween party.......we only stayed there for about 15 minutes tops. I am getting old, the Halloween parties are never as fun as they used to be....we only decided to go just to have an excuse to dress up. We made our costumes and some of the accessories, like the gloves and the feather hair pieces. We love to dress up and usually go all out. We are all grown up now....but we don't care....we still want to dress up! We love Halloween!

cool, huh!

The roaring 20's!

Dry ice is so cool.

Love.

Ha, ha....

Our friend John's outfit was the best,

he was like 9 feet tall! We got lots of attention walking around with him.

Our dear cute and adorable puppy....

that is is yet to have a name!

ohh, looks like she is laughing! :)

She is just so, so, SOOOO cute!

ohh....we love her.

Now Halloween is over :(

BUT...... it just keeps getting better and better! Yummy Thanksgiving is on it's way and then it's CHRISTMAS TIME! Hoo-ray!! I am thinking I will put up my tree in about two weeks, about the middle of November. Christmas is my most favorite time of year! And the decorating is so fun! I can't wait for all the happy feel-good movies, egg-nog, and Christmas songs! I really can't get enough of the Christmas season.
