Gambit

We have had the pleasure of taking care of this cute little guy for the last few weeks. We think he is a Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua mix and about 4 months old.

He's just a wittle guy and we don't think he'll get much bigger.

He likes to sit on our laps and play with his chew toys. He usually falls asleep cuddling with us.

Since it's pretty cold up here now, we decided to get him something to keep him warm :)

He modeled several outfits for us

Even though he looks calm and cooperative, he actually hated them at first. But then we distracted him with toys and he didn't seem to notice as much.

Unfortunately, these cute outfits are not cheap, so we are only going to keep one out of the four. Which one do you like??

Our First Snow!

Friday night, Shawn and I spent the night at Nicole and Jeff's to watch the boys while they had a hotel stay in Park City. We woke up to this...
...which quickly turned into this!!
This is what we're gonna have to clean every morning now :(
Grrr...
Flip flops in the snow = no bueno

Shawn and Weston managed to make a small snowman!
Tave ended up just wanting to go inside and watch from the doorstep

Happy Halloween!

For Halloween, Shawn was a cowboy because he had all the right stuff already! This was my version of Amelia Earhart, and so far I have received good reviews about it - Thanks everyone. We had a fun first Halloween together :)

Pazookie Night!

Pazookie = a giant cookie with ice cream on top = the best dessert everrrrrr!!

The Big Two Five

The kids were very curious to see what was on Shawn's iPhone
Shawn's new beanie that Nicole made for him! - not finished yet, but he'll definitely need it soon in this weather!

Necessary Upgrade

Before...After...

We recently had to upgrade our fish tank because the other one leaked all over the place! So we figured we need a new tank to put our fish in so we can at least try to fix the other one. So instead of spending a lot of money on a tank the same size, we spent a little more and got an even bigger one! We were gonna get a bigger one eventually, just not right now...Well our fish love it! They are so spoiled.

Some More "Firsts"

The first time we successfully transported our fish tank to another state with no casualties...

Our first queen sized bed...

And our first TV and entertainment system

Where are you Elder Abreu??

I wandered around Provo and ran into the MTC on accident, so I took a picture by the entrance. McKenon and I had a PLAN to meet up outside the MTC sometime to take a picture! But it never happened, oh well.

The Puppy

Some of the places she has slept...



Being tickled!! We miss her so much!

Party at the Abreu's!

We had everyone over to see our new apartment and to help us move in, so Shawn turned on some music for the kids, and this was the result :)

The Random Move

We moved in on the Drysdale/Petersen turf - hopefully they don't get sick of us!
Our living room...
Da kitchen...
My green oven and lack of counter space...
My green sink...
El bano...
Two sinks are a must from now on...
Shawn made me some counter/storage space :)
Shawn also fixed our leaky washer, but we found out the real problem was with the backed up plumbing - years of no use and custom drain pipes which weren't exactly efficient or legal apparently...but it all works fine now!

Goodbye Valley Physical Therapy

I said bye to my boss Mike and his daughter Jamie...
Diane in the pink, and Vanessa and her son Morgan...
Yeni the receptionist...
and last but not least, Barry and his son Josh. I'm sad most of these turned out blurry, because my camera was being funny that day, but I made some fun memories working with these guys and they taught me everything they know!

Farewell McKenon!

For McKenon's going away present, we got him a harmonica (It was Shawn's idea)



Group hug! We're going to miss Elder Abreu a bunch!
