Playing with Paper Towels

Last week when I came home from work Ella and Chloe had pulled the paper towels down from the couch and preceded to pull the paper towels from the roll. When I got home there was paper everywhere so I decided to join in and take pictures before I cleaned it up. Ella and Chloe love to pull the paper apart and shred it.

Another chloe moment

For some reason my little Chloe seems to always find her self in some scrap or another. This week was the funniest story, Chloѐ somehow got all wrapped up in the rose bush. She was whimpering when I found her, she had tangled herself up in one of the vines that was hanging down to the ground. I realized that she was caught so I cut the rose bush, and then discovered that she had her hair rolled around the rose bush up around her ear and across her belly. I am betting that the rose bush caught her hair then in her struggle to get out of the thorns she rolled across it and ended up rolling her hair around the vine. It is similar to when a girl is round brushing her hair for the first time and she gets it caught in her hair and then you have to gently pull all the hair out of the brush.
Well, I had to cut the vines out of Chloѐ then unroll them out of her hair. She was sure glad to be free of that vine. She was so traumatized that I had to hold and comfort her to get over the shock. I think it was that she couldn't move when she was caught up in the rose bush.

Maker Fare '09'

Miss Orem Pageant

Lates news

ok, Its been way too long since I have updated my blog. I have sold all the puppies but one. They have all gone to great homes I am so happy that I was able to find good homes for them all. Prada is my last puppy and tho I want to be selfish and keep her I can't have 4 dogs in the house, so I must find a good home for her. I have decided to keep Chloe and she is so cute and such a diva. She wines to be picked up on the bed, she wines or makes her little dog noise to be picked up on the couch. She lifts one ear all the time and the right ear just stays floppy. She has the cutest face expressions and her tail is always waging. SOOO stickn' cute.

last weekend I went to San Fran to help promote the Yudu, Yourstory, Cricut, Cuddlebug from Provo Crafts. The Maker Fare was so much fun and i loved the unique atmosphere. I will add some photos soon. Our booth was so busy and I enjoyed talking with everyone. We won best of show and it was really exciting. I worked really hard and my feet hurt at the end of the weekend but it was totally worth it to see every ones face responding the the Yudu (silk screen maker).

A few weeks before that was our Miss Orem pageant. I was stress over that but in the end it all came together. I was really happy with the stage. I miss seeing the girls every week, but we now have a new Miss Orem and her name is Chelsey Ingersoll. It has been fun working with Krystal and she has become a little sister to me, she did a wonderful job for our city and we will miss our has our Miss Orem.

Slacker

I am a Slacker, it has been awhile since my last update. I've been so busy with new changes at work and wrapping up Miss Orem that I haven't had time to get caught up on my blogs. I know have a new goal to up date this blog every Sunday with something interesting that happened to me during the week.

Today Cooper (one of my puppies) found himself in front of the mirror. As I turned and caught his eye in the mirror, he looked so cute standing on his dog bed staring into the mirror and waving his paw, like he was waving at me. I desperately wanted a photo but when i moved the event was over and he was following me out the door. Oh well I will just have to try and reenact it later sometime.

The other evens that have kept me so busy at work, has been playing with the Yudu machine from Provo Craft. I have created some really cute items and I have a few more to do before all my projects are done and I can up load all the photos on my face book account.

The day is beautiful and my tulips are just gorgeous. Check out my photo.

Easter Sunday

Today I decided that I would make mine own Easter Dinner. So I grilled some chicken and steamed my asparagus and carrots, the potatoes turned out all right, but I didn't like the spices that were on them. So I won't do that again. Over all I was very happy with my cooking today.


A week ago I decideed to try and make tarts because I had this cut pan that I wanted to make something with. So I pulled out the cookbook and studies the recepies on how to make tarts, thank goodness for Cassie because I had a few questions that my cookbook couldn't answer. Cassie came to my resescure and helped me pull it all together. I made peach tarts and they turned out great. I will add the photo as soon I locate it.

Puppy Playtime

Christensen New Puppy

Puppy News

Well, time sure flies by so fast. The puppies are now 4 weeks old, their eyes and ears are now open. They have been walking on their legs and for a while they were a little wobbly but now they are getting the hang of it. Eddie has been waging his tail, when ever the puppies get close to him in their cage. He thinks they want to play with them.

-Tonight was the cutest sight that I have witnessed yet. All the puppies were playing with each other and they were wrestling together. Prada is a little dare devil, she picks fights all the time cause she wants to play. Tonight everyone was trying to bite each other (they have no teeth, yet) and pawing each other- I wished I'd had my camera close. Here are new photos of all the puppies. AKA Kate now has a new home- and her name has been changed to Sassy. Chole also has a home. Now I have 4 left to find good homes.

Cooper has discovered his voice and barks every know and then just to here it. Parda is walking all over the place and has discovered she likes her legs. Everyone is walking really well and they are so cute. Will add more updates in a bit.

Traveling

I new when the month of January was going to hit that I would be traveling most of this month, but what I didn't realize is that at the end of all this traveling I would miss Utah, my family, and my friends. I finally realized that I enjoy having time to myself to spend with family or friends and that staying in a hotel is ok, and wonderful if they have nice beds.

Over this past month I have traveled to Tampa, Florida, Long Beach, California; the CHA show in California, then back to Tampa, Florida for HSN stuff. Then in between the traveling I have been working so hard at home and at work prepping for training of the yudu, getting ready for shows, and prepping for Sundance with Mark Montano. I can defiantly say that this month has been full of surprises and alot has been happening.

Some of my fun memories of this crazy month are:

-- Getting to know and spending time with Mark Montano.
We've become BFF's (Best Friends Forever-See Pic)
--Spending time with Mike's wife and Tonya at the Sundance event (Green Lodge).
--Spending time with Halen at Sundance (couldn't have done this event without you)
--Spending time with the Hosts HSN training them on the Yudu and Yourstory
--Helping out with the Live HSN Yudu shoot.
--Demoing the Yudu at CHA and being video
--The CHA experience all together (I enjoyed getting to know a bunch of people better in the company at this show)
--Going to dinner with Mark and hanging out at the lounge
--Hanging with Mark at the Provo Craft booth at CHA-
--Spending time with Mike & Lori at the ISS Show (I finally understand what all the fuss is about Provo Craft's Yudu is about- Its amazing how Provo Craft simplified the whole silk screen process)

Memories I was sad about
--missing Ella (my dog) have her puppies (thanks Jen)
puppies (5 girls) their names are: Co, Chloe, Oreo, Prada, Kate
boy puppies (1) name is: Devan
--saying good buy to Mark
--leaving the warm weather in Florida
--missing teaching my primary lessons (I missed my kids)
--missed seeing Halen every day at work.


As much as I was excited to do all this traveling I am very glad to be home.
