How Now Brown Cow?


So a lot of blogs have gone private since I've last been on here. So if you please, I would like access to those that won't mind me reading. Also I think that I'm going to go private as well. If you would like to read mine let me know and I'll add you on. It's kind of pointless to go private if no one is able to go on and read. :)

Weigh In

Canon or Nikon??

I have been thinking about getting back into photography lately. My camera that I have from high school isn't doing it. So I would like some opinions about what types of cameras to look into. I'm leaning more toward Canon, but haven't looked into any models. I'm more into black and white photos, but will do a lot of color too. Also I'm mostly wanting to study action, like sports or equestrian riding, but need a lot of detail. Any input is appreciated.

Horse girl is back!
.
I finally got back into showing! I have to say that I don't think I realized how much I really missed it. I did two shows, and I'm sorry for not posting about the first one. I know everyone was dying to see it. But then Holly beat me too it. I just want to say thank you to my family for going and supporting me. It really meant a lot. Tyler was the best groom a girl could ask for! Here is my beautiful and talented horse.
Isn't she cute! Her name is Sanka and she IS the Wonder Pony! That would be Mom's hat on her head. You can have your kids pull on this horses ears, pull her hair, poke her nose, and she doesn't even care. I have laid down and fallen asleep on the back of this horse. I got a first place on the first show I did in South Jordan, then I just did my first full event in Ogden, in which I came in second. It was a lot of fun, and I can't wait for the season to start next year!

1. Barb Progess
2. A great supporting family
3. A supporting husband that won't ever let me grow up

Be Proud!!

Our kitchen is a mess!

So we had a unnatural amount of tomatoes in our garden this year. I think Tyler fed them some radioactive green slime or something. :) Someone had the brilliant idea to make salsa since we were also growing peppers. So that is how my kitchen was turned into a disaster zone!


Once we got everything chopped up, it was actually kind of fun! Until we found out that since we had put garlic into our salsa that we had to put it into a pressure cooker. We figured this out after we already did that bath thing. So we are heating them up again. Mom gave us this awesome recipe from a lady at her work and it's really good. I just hope that it's not going to explode on us! It's steaming pretty hard right now.



Check out our ghetto stove! So we have been doing this since five o'clock this evening. It's now 9:30. But there is an end in sight! Tyler just said it's going to be about 45 mins now! Yeah! I feel like little Sally Homemaker. I made a whole bunch of Zucchini bread last night and now I'm canning! Wish us luck!

What instrument do you resemble most?

The ward that Tyler and I attend is in the Woods Cross High School area. Most of the people in my ward either was a student in the band or is a parent of a band member. I love all the stories that they have told me about Dad and Mom. This one happens to be the latest thing stumbled upon. Kelli (who also happens to be in some of my classes for nursing) was a student of Dad. Her daughter happened to come across this.

1. Videos of Dad that I've never seen before.

2. Good friends and their stories.

3. The look on Tylers face while he watches this.

A Quick Get Away

So earlier this week I really wanted to get out before school started again. I have been working a lot of over time and haven't had time to do anything else. I know, I know. You guys have been checking my blog every day, I'm sure, to see if I've posted anything. . I'm sorry to have let you down. :)

Sadly we didn't catch any fish. But I can honestly say for probably the first and only time in my married life that our hearts weren't into it. And when I say "our" I mean Tyler. Tyler just got into the Fablehaven books. He usually likes to take his time reading things, but this is the 3rd book and he started the series 6 days ago. I just got done with the Twilight series so I started on book one of Fablehaven. Take note that these events that I've taken into evidence with this picture will probably never happen again. There have been times when I have physically had to pry the fishing pole from his fingers.

We had the Benadryl and Prednisone ready just in case. But thankfully Misha came back with no bee stings. I had enough fun the last time that happened. I think that the last time has taught her not to go chasing after them. Although, in this picture I can almost see her having an internal argument about whether or not to go after them.
These bees were everywhere. The constant buzzing made it sound like we were in that movie with the killer bees chasing after everyone. The bees collect the pollen and keep them in sacks on their legs. They fly around with huge orange balls weighing them down. You could hear the lower buzzing from the ones that had to work harder to stay in the air. They looked extremely happy.

This picture does not do this justice. Misha does this thing where she digs around in the dirt to try to get it fluffed up. But after she fluffs she pushes the dirt back out so she can do that little circle thing to lay down. She has gotten it so bad sometime that her whole face is completely white. I think it's safe to say that she's a little spoiled. She won't lay down in that spot until every rock has been removed. Usually by the time she is done with it we are moving to the next spot.

1. No Swelling!
2. Being able to find the LAST camp site in Tony Grove.
3. Finally being able to have the day off.

So it's been an interesting weekend.

Misha has a history of allergic reactions. Tyler went for a day hike and this is how my dog came home. I took this picture two hours after we gave her the drugs. Just imagine her eyes looking like an old Asian monk. This isn't actually the worst she's had it either. I feel like we have a child sometimes when she gets sick. But I guess it's sort of a warm up for when we actually have some.
