Hot Stuff!!

I am so proud of my "hottie" of a husband!! When we moved back up to Lovell, he decided he wanted to learn how to make and can his mom's salsa and tomato soup. Now, Marla has been making this stuff for years...and it is sooooo good. Every year she sends us a bunch of canned salsa, and every year we eat it like crazy and its gone within a matter of months!!! Well, I guess Kyle figured it was time to let his mom off the hook and decided that we needed to learn how to do this. I thought it was a great idea. But I was kinda thinking a couple batches each of the salsa and tomato soup.....Well, I have officially lost count of how many batches we have made since we got here. Its like everyone's gardens just keep producing tomatoes. THE TOMATOES JUST WON'T STOP!!!! In my prayers I am asking for it to freeze so there will be no more tomatoes!!! Now I have to say, I have helped some with the canning and Kyle's mom has helped a ton...but mostly this has been Kyle's baby. He has experimented a lot. He has made mild, medium, hot, and extra hot salsas, he has pre-cooked the jalepenos in some batches (which supposedly makes them hotter) and we have made a couple batches with cilantro in them. Anyways, I am so grateful for the endless energy Kyle has had to do this...because if it was up to me I would have burned out after the first couple days. No kidding, this has been going on for an entire month!!! So hopefully the weather forecast is right...there will be snow this weekend...there will be no more tomatoes...and we can just sit back and enjoy yummy chips and homemade salsa til next year!!!

Beautiful Girls...

The other day I was driving down the highway and saw a little dirt road between some fields. It was 6:20 p.m. and the light was hitting it just right...it was beautiful!! I decided it would be the perfect spot to take some pictures of the girls. So, the next day we headed out just before 6:20 p.m. to do a photo shoot! We also went to my grandparents farm and took some as well. As usual, the girls refused to cooperate with me...its funny because I always load them up in the car feeling frustrated because they wouldn't look at the camera or wouldn't sit still long enough for me to take a "good" picture. But I always end up with some really cute pictures that are full of personality! I have a couple of adorable little farts!!! Enjoy!

For All Of Our Utah Friends...

This post is for all of our friends that are wondering where in the heck Lovell, Wyoming is and what is it like???

Sorry...the pictures kind of came up in a random order that doesn't make much sense, but here we go:

Coming into Lovell from the east side of town. The big sign that says Hyart is our theater...it is really old and actually really neat inside. It was closed down for a lot of years, but the town has opened it back up. It plays a movie on Fridays and Saturdays!




This is just a cool picture I took while out on a photo shoot with the girls (will post those pics later). I thought it was beautiful. Just in a field outside of town.

Here is the view from my parents' front yard (east of town). This is part of the Big Horn Mountains. So pretty...

And here is a picture of the American Colloid bentonite plant...where Kyle is currently working. This can also be seen from my parents' front yard!!!

Population sign as you come into town...

More Big Horn Mountains behind a corn field on my Grandparents' farm...

Here is our LDS Stake Center. No kidding, I have never seen a bigger one (not even in Utah!) It has two chapels inside and a huge cultural center in the middle. There is also a gym across the street...

Lots and lots of pretty views...

And last, but not least, a picture of the Sugar Factory as seen from the east side....

Well...hope you enjoyed my little tour of Lovell!!! Come visit!!!
P.S...I removed the picture of the bar...sorry! Didn't want you to think that was somewhere we like to hang out!!! ha ha!

It's Been Awhile!!!!

Wow...I apologize!!! It has been about what...eleven months since my one and only post!!! I should be ashamed of myself! However, like I said in the last post...our lives have been pretty much crazy and out of control. Hopefully now things have slowed down a bit and I will be able to take the time to blog a little more. Our lives in a nutshell at the moment: We just left St. George. We loved it there!! We miss it a lot. But business just wasn't happening. Not much demand for custom closets...or anything related to construction for that matter. We held out for as long as we could...but it was time to go somewhere else. So after lots and lots of thought we decided to go HOME. So here we are, back in Lovell, Wyoming!! At the moment we are living with my parents until we find a place we like. We are just trying to set life on cruise control for the moment...and hopefully that will allow us to enjoy the little things for a bit. The girls are so happy to be able to see grandpas and grandmas every day...they are taking a liking to being spoiled. Well, that's all for now. Sorry, no current pics. Will get some up soon!!!
