You might recognize the face on this book in Deseret Book and Seagull Book ... it's Clay!

So, I got a puppy (Toby) in February and had to give him away because I was allergic. But we get to watch him this weekend! His new name is Rhys.

Here is the video of me giving him away to his new owner. His parents bought him for her as a birthday surprise. This girl LOVES the little puppy so much. Her reaction is priceless!

Springdale Getaway

Clay and I decided it was high time to escape on a little road trip with just the two of us. We went to Springdale, a quaint little town at the foot of Zion National Park, and stayed at the Red Rock Inn bed and breakfast cottages. The innkeeper brought us homemade breakfast in a basket each morning. It was perfect!

We took a day to hike around Zion. It was on the cold side, but gorgeous.

On our way into Springdale, we couldn't help but stop at the petting zoo. That stinkin' llama SPIT on me just seconds later!


These hats were a great find at a little indian trading post. It wasn't until after we took these stunning photos that we read the sign: "These hats are for buying, NOT pictures!" Whoops.

Puppy Post

The sad news is that I am allergic to little Toby. I waited it out to see if it would get better or if allergy medicine would help, but ... no. We have to say goodbye to him.

The happy news is that my bosses have been looking for a puppy for awhile and they fell in love with Toby when they saw him, so they are going to buy him from us.

We are going to deliver Toby to them this Saturday as a surprise for their 9 year old daughter's birthday. She is going to flip out because she has been begging for a puppy for a long time and she has no idea that her dream is going to come true.

We'll miss the little guy, but we know he'll be happy in his new home!

Clay and Toby were wearing matching shirts ... I couldn't resist! I promise we are not usually the type to dress dogs in clothing, but Clay's awesome boss gave this Old Navy dog polo to us as a gift and its fun to put it on him once in awhile.

I think 25 is going to be my favorite age!
