Mr. Sow Man

This winter was a really harsh one, so we decided to try to make the best of it with building a snowman. All Winter whenever it snowed we were not able to make a snowman because the snow was to dry and felt like flour but, one crazy day all the planets alined and we were able to make a small Mr. Snowman. We even were able to watch a beautiful sunset hoping and wishing that the Summer would PLEASE come. We went around with my brand new camera that Jonny got me for valentines day, and took some amazing pictures. I love the winter and snow, but its time for it to go away and bring on the flowers.

Two Love Birds

This Valentines day was such a great one, this year we had a little more time to think about it and time to prepare.  Jonny had to work during the day, but I decorated the house and got everything ready for when he got home that night. This year I got him a Cook Book that he had been wanting, wrote him a cute Love letter, and money to buy any tool that he wanted... ( he talks about it all the time ) It was a simple gift, but a thoughtful gift. 

Jonny on the other hand went above and beyond !!!! I found a paper that was not meant for my eyes so all week he was throwing me off by giving me hints saying it was one thing and then another. By the end of the week I had no idea what Jonny had gotten me, he had me convinced that he got me shoes. ( witch might be a good one for the future :) ) He had gone on my Pintrest account and looked through my folders of the things I wanted and went from there. 

After eating a delicious / romantic candle light dinner with sparkling cider, we opened our gifts. And to my Surprise he got me an AMAZING Nikon Camera ... Nikon D3200 24.2 MP Digital SLR Camera

He not only got me an amazing camera he even got me my camera strap that I really wanted, If I ever did get a camera. ( to the right) This is the picture Jonny saw on line, he is so sweet and thoughtful. I am so excited to capture all the wonderful moments that will happen in our lives and so I can remember them forever. Jonny is soooo sneaky tricking me and keeping it a surprise, mom knows how hard it is to surprise me... I'm to smart for my own good, i find out what it is before i get it, or Jonny will accidentally spill the beans without knowing.. silly Jonny:)

I am so grateful for an amazing husband who knows and listens to me talk about all the crazy things I want one day. And I'm even more thankful that he makes those CRAZY things come true  !!! What a bblessing my husband is to me, every day of my life :D

Baby Its Cold Outside!

Snow, Snow, Snow and Ice..... we cant get away from it here in Nauvoo, so we decided to make the best of it and buy us some snow sleds. We bundled up since it was in the single digits, and went out to find the BIGGEST hill. ( Now don't make fun of me, I'm not the one to buy cloths for animals but, I just felt bad for Harley with it being -40 out ! ) Once we found the hill Jonny climbed it, with of course Harley following his every footstep reached the top. Jonny decided that it would be cool to take Harley down on the sled with him.... BAD idea... 1. the hill is very steep 2. its not a smooth ride and 3. Harley is small... But he made his mind up and went for it. 3 seconds into the ride they hit a Huge bump and Harley went flying in the air doing flips with Jonny right behind her. Then both falling into the snow with a big white snow cloud. A few seconds latter I see Harley running out, having escaped the death trap. Lets just say I refused to take her down with me the next time, but she continued to run up and down the hill after us. It was snowing really hard when we decided to go, so by the time we were done we were covered with ice and snow. It was also nice because We were the only ones on this hill ( freezing our buns off) that's probability why we were.
We had fun and enjoyed the beautiful snow while we walked through old Nauvoo, but I'm ready for spring to get here already... you cant even make a snowman with this snow...
