Oh Christmas Tree

Thanksgiving Day, my dad, Evan, Hannah and I went up to Strawberry to cut down our Christmas trees.  The weather wasn't too cold, but there was a good two feet of snow on our hike. We hiked for about 45 minutes or so until we found the perfect tree. (Thanks Dad for being a trooper). A few of our adventures were getting the car stuck in the snow and my dad and Evan had to push us out, falling through the snow up to our waists in some parts, and watching Hannah try to cut down her "baby tree" to take home.  This is our 5th year doing this and it is so much fun.

Running the Y

What better way to celebrate reaching my goal to run 100 miles a month than to run to the top of the Y for mile 100. It was a rough run, and I am sure that I was running slower than a walk, but I did it and felt so good after. I only saw 4 other people on the trail because the weather was a bit cold, but I liked being *almost* alone up there.  

Pinterest

Dear Pinterest,

Why are you so awesome? And at the same time, so bad for my time management?  I just spent HOURS pinning and re-pinning everything.

Sincerely,

An out-of-time Pinner

Retirement

I am UNofficially retired! This is kind of old news, but I quit my job about 2 weeks ago to go back to school. We are both now full time students with graduation in less that 8 months.  Let the single digit count down begin.  On my last day of work, I went to lunch with all the girls from the office. We went and had Indian food at this place in Orem.

September Freezer Foods

I not only have been neglecting our blog, our freezer has also been slowly dwindling down to ice cream and shredded potatoes.  I spent all day last Saturday cooking and filling our freezer with dinners and sauces that should last us for the next month. I think now that summer is over, I will get back in the hang of things.  I made 10 complete dinners, 12 bags of red sauce (each about 1 1/2 cups), 5 bags of two-serving rice, some muffins and cookies, and some blanched vegetables. Below is my shopping list and some of the things that I made.

Spanish Fork Demolition Derby

Since we only do white-trash things with the Boulters, we might as well keep the tradition going and travel down to Spanish to see some cars wreck!  My fav was the pink car (of course).  Evan dressed the part in his AC/DC shirt. We saw a few cars get flipped, start on fire, and a few of the drivers fight.

so...

I realize it has been a while, and I honestly didn't even remember what has happened in the last couple of months! Looking back through my camera, here is a quick update of what we have been up to:

Look at that form!

Riding dirk bikes at the sand dunes

Golfing- I think we have been 4 times in the last month!
