Meet Zoey

This is Zoey. Our first born. Hairy, I know. Dont be deceived by her cuteness because she has an alter ego named "worst dog ever" . Before Miss P joined out family Zoey was the center of attention. She got more love than a dog should. She was the princess. She came before anything and everything else. Now... Shes been put on the back burner and she doesnt quite like it. Does she still get more love and attention than most dogs? Yes. Yes she does. Does she think so? No. No she doesnt. She has turned into some psychotic dog. Being a house trained dog for several years now has decided that rules are meant to be broken. I let her out to go to the bathroom and she will go out and decide that right by the open door, in the house, on the carpet is a better spot. In fact, She just started to squat right by our bed in front of Zach and I. Uh...Zoey, not more than 3 minutes ago I let you out to go take care of your business. Why are you trying to poop right by my bed? Lately, Zoey has been getting on my nerves real bad. I feel bad for her. I just cant stand her and her bad dog syndrome she has developed. Im about one more poop, one more shredded diaper, one more shredded paper towel away from giving her away. And that makes me sad. Those with dogs, is this a normal feeling after having a baby? Any tricks to turn this dog back into a good one?

A Yo Yo "How To"

I have had a ton of requests for a "How To" for the Yo Yo's. This is no where near a professional tutorial but it will do. I hope.


Materials: Scissors, needle, thread, fabric, different size circles, and a pen. If you want to make a head pieces you will need glue( hot or fabric), a button and stretchy band.



Turn the fabric face down and place desired circle size on it. The bigger the circle the bigger the yo yo and vise versa. My personal opinion is dont do a very small circle because it is REALLY hard to sew. Trace around circle with a pen.

Cut out circle.

Thread needle. Fabric is still face down, Turn in outer edge of fabric and begin hand stitching. The Larger the stitch the smaller the opening will be in your Yo yo.

Once you have gone all the way around your yo yo, pull thread.

Make a few stitches to keep the thread in place.

Cut thread and WA-LA.

Semi- Homemade

I hate cooking. I will never proclaim myself as a chef of any kind. In fact I hate cooking so much I mooch off my mom almost daily. Thats right, You heard me. I mooch. Im a moocher. Big deal. And the reason for my mooching is Zachs schedule was 10-7 and thats a long time to be home by yourself so I usually head to my parents and play. And by the time Zach is home my mom has already made dinner and I just "Happened" to be there. So yesterday was Labor Day and Zach had the day off from work as most did. It was so nice to have him around. He is so helpful and I just love seeing his handsome face. Anyways, My family had gone up to Heber this weekend for the Holiday and yesterday around 3 I realized I was going to have to make dinner. If I make dinner they are meals that are semi-homecooked and take 30 minutes or less to cook. Thats just how I roll. Even though I hate cooking I do like to watch the cooking channel. Weird huh? I was watching Miss Paula Deen one day and she made this Shrimp and Scallop lasagna. It look fantastic! So thinking I was just as good as Paula I hopped on the internet to find the recipe.

***Note to Self: Paula is a professional chef, has her own Show and restaurant. You will never be Paula. Never.***

It said it was a Moderate recipe to follow and for some reason... I thought I could pull it off. If only I had 50 hands. I get so flustered. I burned the onions, added too much flour, poured in way too much half and half, dropped some of the noodles in the sink as I was draining them and made a huge mess. The only thing I think I did right was preheat the oven and all that was was push a stinking button. All in all it smelled great, looked great but tasted... bland. While it was baking in the oven I went down stairs threw myself on the bed and told Zach " everytime I make dinner I am reminded why I hate cooking." He just laughed.

I give up. Im sticking to my semi- homemade 30 minute or less meals.

Even though I am no cook. I do love me some food. Any kind is fine with me. Ive never been a picky eater. Well, if you dont count taking my peanut butter and jelly sandwich apart as a toddler and would only allow the peanut butter to be on one side and the jelly on the other. There could be no mixing and then only eating the jelly side. BUT, I dont do that anymore. And actually I almost prefer the peanut butter side these days.

And P.s- Cooking and baking are completely different. I can bake with the best of them. Just dont rely on me to make you dinner.
