POTD - Moochies

Mmmm. Enough said.

POTD - How to Embarrass L

Saturday, we spent some time at the mall before L's basketball game. We stopped in at H&M for M to do some shopping. I tried to get L to try on this hat, but no way was that going to happen! His sister proudly wore the hat and pulled some awesome faces while I took her picture. L was MORTIFIED! He is at that awesome teenage stage where everything we do and say is embarrassing for him. You know what??? We LOVE it! Three against one. We win every time! Maybe on another POTD, I'll show you the picture of his dad wearing the hat! :)

POTD - The View

Not a great picture as far as quality goes today, but this is the view from my office. I only spend one day a week (if that) in Salt Lake and then the rest of my time is spent in Northern Utah (Woods Cross to the Idaho boarder). I love the view from my window. For those of you who don't know, this is the Salt Lake County Building. The inside is as pretty and as detailed as the outside.

A few years ago, someone, climbed to the very top spiral and stuck a pumpkin on the top of the building. Every time I look out at it, I wonder how they ever did that!

POTD - Winter Wonderland

Wet, wet heavy snow fell yesterday and into the night. It had been raining all day before it changed over to snow which made an icy layer beneath the snow. This morning, it was sunny and the light through the ice on the trees made everything sparkle. It was so pretty! I think I liked having the snow, if only for a quick minute!

POTD - One More

Sometimes it feels really good to be on the winning team!

POTD - Saturday Togetherness

We don't always have schedules where we can all spend Saturday together. Today was one of the times we could have lunch together. Bueno! Lunch at La Puente and now we are on our way to Crate & Barrel! Great Saturday!

POTD - Not a Photo...

Obviously the POTD wasn't taken by me, but seemed appropriate due to all the rain we have had lately. My backyard is beginning to become a swamp!

POTD - A Favorite

I know you are wondering why I would post a picture of my feet. It's not so much my feet I want to show you, but my favorite slippers. I bought these about ten months ago on sale at Macy's for next to nothing. They were $75 originally, but were on sale for 70% off and then the clerk gave me another 20% off with a coupon she had. To be honest, I would have been happy if I had paid the $75 for them...I love them that much!

When I can come home and put these on, it means that my day's work is over and I can slip out of my heels and relax. They are lined with fleece inside which keeps my feet warm and happy on a rainy day like today. Like a good pair of jeans, or a favorite blanket, these slippers are my happiness.

POTD - Be Refreshed

Another scene from Ogden.

POTD - I'm Kind of Proud of It...

This is the result of my knitting efforts. I stopped off at Gardner Village and picked up the yarn on Saturday and had it finished by Sunday. I know that seems like a long time for some of you, but I'm kind of happy to have it finished in a day!

Who knows what project is next...maybe a new sweater vest for Jason's birthday??

POTD - MLKJR Tournament

The photo today is coming in just under the wire. It is 11:00 - WAY past my bedtime! We just got home from the championship game in the tournament. Sadly, it wasn't a victory this time. PNR had a great first half and lead at halftime. The Suns turned on their 3-point shots and pulled ahead to win. Great game! Probably some of the best playing their team has had so far!

POTD - Sunday Drive

Since we are on the awesome 9-12 time schedule for church this year, it allows us a Sunday afternoon nap, and sometimes a Sunday drive.

Today we took a short drive to the Farmington Bird Refuge. I never knew how close it was. We were really hoping to spot the eagles that hang out there this time of year. We actually saw one as it was flying away from us, but nothing photo-worthy. We spotted a lot of the famous Dump Seagulls and some other feathered waterfowl. This little guy was the prize of the day. I'm not even sure what he is. I'm guessing some type of crane?

We will be taking another trip for sure. I read that between the end of February and August, the action really picks up there!

POTD - Rawhide Globe

L is playing in a basketball tournament this weekend. One game last night, two today and one on Monday. So far, 1-1 record. Hoping to finish the next two games strong.

POTD - Go Utes!

POTD - Scenery

Nothing profound today. This is the old Swift building on 24th Street. I love what they are doing in this area...restoring the old buildings. So much character in some of these buildings. It's nice to see them coming back to life.

POTD - In Honor

In honor of the officer who was killed in a shoot out last week in Ogden, the street on Harrison Blvd. is lined with flags today. Very impressive.

POTD - DOA

Remember the other day when I thought my water heater had died? Good thing it didn't, because this little beauty isn't doing so well today. Dr. Repair is coming for a visit tomorrow.

POTD - A Dog's Life

This is the life! Who wouldn't want to come home from work, lay their head down and have someone rub your head? This is the stuff that people pay big dollars for at the spa. Sign me up!

POTD - Daily Bread

Today's picture is of my baking efforts. Two loaves of white...one whole wheat. Can you tell which is which? I also made L some rolls for dinner. Carb overload today.

POTD - But...I've Already Put Christmas Away!

December was the driest on record. No "White Christmas" for us. I actually love snow, but as soon as Christmas is over, I'm done with the white mess.

I knew sometime in the middle of the night that it had arrived. I woke up and my bedroom was brighter than it should have been. When it snows, the street light reflects off the snow and really lights up our room. I buried my head under the covers, looking for the dark.

Who knows? Maybe in July I will look back at this picture and appreciate the water I am keeping my lawn alive with. For now, I think I'll turn on the fire and pull out my calendar to see how many days there are until Spring.
