Chewy Cooking

What happens when you ask your husband to help make brownies when he has never really cooked before.....? This happens!!!! hahahah!!!! Actually, I was making brownies. I asked Chewy to get an egg out of the fridge. He gets it out, puts it on the counter, it rolls off and breaks. So, I tell him that he has to clean up. He looks me and ask how!? hahaha ooo Chewy. I tell him to first pick up the shell and throw it into the garbage, use yous hand I said. I then turn around and hear him saying "gross, oh gross", and he was attempting to pick up the entire mashed egg with his fingers, yolk and everything!!!! I must have forgotten to tell him to use a paper towel to pick up the rest of the egg. Then again--he should have known that! Oh, I love Chewy!

Mesa Falls

The weather has been incredible. I said this almost a month ago, and we have yet to see snow and ice. Not only is it not snowing, but it is sunny and warm! We decided to take advantage of the great weather and show Chewy some of the cites of Idaho while we still can. Once we hit the sand dunes I told him we had to go to Mesa Falls. It is the last untouched waterfall in Idaho!!! First stop on the way...Big Juds. It is a hamburger place on the way up to Ashton Idaho (45 minute drive). They have the best burgers. You can see that chewy is quite excited we made it. Too bad his burger was burnt, hahaha, he did not enjoy it very much. I however loved mine!


So excited...so sad that he didn't even like it. But it makes me laugh


Once we got to Mesa Falls there are a bunch of stairs you have to take to get down to the water fall. The roads were completely clear, but we got a little surprise once we got to Mesa Falls, and the stairs. Ice EVERYWHERE....luckily, no one fell.

Here's the falls. They look a lot better in person. We have decided that we need an extra person to always come along with us, just so we can have decent pictures of the two of us.

It was sunny, but still freezing. That is all ice behind me. Covering the side of the mountain.

On the way home from Mesa Falls we stopped at this cool trail on the side of road. We did not realize how muddy it was going to be. Also, I might have forgot to mention to Chewy there was a little scary tunnel at the end...muhahaha

Luckily for him it was closed down that day. But I did make him walk a little into. This him looking back. Tears of fright in his eyes.

Waving goodbye!!!!

The DUNES...

In Rexburg (a little outside of Rexburg) there are huge sand dunes. Me and my roommates would always go out there and have big bonfires. People bring their four wheelers and go all around. Well, Chewy has never even seem them. So two nights ago we decided to take a little trip up there. Since we are poor, starving college students we didn't want to buy fire wood. So we took blankets and dressed warm-- too bad that didn't work-- it was FREEZING!!! Oh well, it was free (except for gas) and fun.


Chewy- with his flash light. He didn't want to get scared of the dark (hehe)



Our little place on top of one of the dunes. Coats, sweatshirt, and blankets did not cut it. We should have made a fire. However, we did get a pretty good view of all the stars.


The cold made us CRAZY!!! There was also this loud noise. It sounded like there was a pack of wolves waiting to attack. Chewy made us leave early...well, that might have been me.



Came home, put on our matching/opposite sweats and drank hot chocolate

Wreath Making

Since we have decorated for Christmas I have been wanting a wreathe to put on my door, but they are so expensive. It was $40.00 for some, and they weren't even that cute. So, we went to Porters (the best craft store in the world) and I made myself a wreathe. Best part...it was $10.00 for all the supplies, including the wreathe itself!!!!!

Halloween straight to Christmas

We woke up the day after Halloween (November 1st) in case anyone didn't know, and we got so excited for Christmas. We sat on our couch and planned out all the decorations for our apartment. We tore down the Halloween decorations and went straight to wal-mart, (pretty much the only place to shop in Rexburg) and went Christmas crazy! Yup, that was our Saturday,making Christmas happen, the first of November!

If you look carefully you can see that chewy is holding up Christmas decorations, along with his back pack. He was suppose to go the library, but he couldn't help but want to come home and help me decorate. He is so bad!


These have to be the funniest stalkings. Wal-Mart..YAH!!!!

Our Christmas Tree!!! So small, but so cute...


NOT...now this is our Christmas tree...just the perfect size for our place. Our neighbors probably think we are crazy for putting up Christmas so early...just wait till we do the outside!~

Our REAL first Halloween

What do you do when you are married, no kids, and it is Halloween night? Well, the answer is...not much! Just kidding. We passed out candy to the tick-or-treaters that actually came to our apartment. There were some cute little kids. We made halloween sugar cookies, which made us sick, and then went bowling. I know, just the two of us, it was--kind of fun! I reccommend bowling with more than just two people. It was a fun, scare free, night.


Yes, we made home-made sugar cookies. It took forever, and our kitchen was just too small!!! I felt like a little slave rolling dough all night.



But they turned pretty good, if I do say so myself. We made pumpkins, cats, witches, and ghosts.


Chewy was in charge of icing the witches. He went all out. Green faces, black hair and cape, and a white broom stick, he is so talented.
