This is the only time our tree looked somewhat nice!
This is my FAVORITE picture. Duke was so good, the snow was falling and he sat so perfect for me while I took his picture.
Duke & Pickles LOVED the snow....they kept running around playing in it. Pickles couldn't keep up quite as fast as Duke moved around.

Trevor shoveling the snow out of the drive way just so I can park in the garage.
Our First snow of the year.....probably our only snow of the year......!

We went to Vegas to watch Brandon compete in the Silverman Iron man. In front of the Bellagio....He wanted to stay and watch the water show all night long, Brandon and I had to finally drag him away from it!

Venice Beach. Trevor wanted to take this picture so bad because of the "romantic sunset!" He said it was all about the blog.......
This is what 32 hours of no sleep, working graveyard does to you!


Trevor and I left to go to Chris's house for 20 minutes. When we walked in the door Trevor's mouth dropped and this is what our "wonderful, amazing dogs," did to their brand new cage pillow! Duke didn't even try and hide it that he was the culprit!


After the sixth attempt to take this photo we finally succeeded, due to my camera's lack of ability to take pictures at night! ACDC Concert! ROCK ON!


Joe, Kirsten, Me, and Trevor right before the ACDC concert.....I never heard Trevor scream WHOO HOO before until that night!

The whole Clan! Well, not really the "whole clan," we are still missing 17 immediate family members!

This was a cool picture that I had to take of everyone. (L-R) Clay, Benay, Trevor, Ty, and Tracy! Awesome family~
Trevor and I at Ty's Football game. Ty had an amazing game, he scored 19 points as a kicker, with one interception. La Quinta won 63-0. SHUT OUT!!!!!



This is Jan and I at Chais Restaurant in Oahu. The food was AMAZING!!!! Five course gourmet meal.
Until we meet again! This is Holly, she is my really good girlfriend who I grew up with, it was great to see her in Maui where she now lives. This was at a restaurant on Maui called Mai Thais, all I kept thinking was "stupid freakin' Holly, " as my dad would say when she would come over to our house!
This was my tattoo that I was so pumped to have...one because it was washable, and two because it was done at the Polynesian Culture Center!

Another view of the beautiful waters of Maui! ALOHA~~~~~~

This was the wall of all of the men and women who lost their lives during Pearl Harbor. This was an amazing site to see. What a great and memorable monument displayed!

This was one of my views from my hotel in Waikiki. It was amazing! I had such a good time, too bad Trevor couldn't go with me, but we will go back for a 4th time!

Trevor and I on the Santa Monica Pier. It was a very nice day all around being with the family, laughing, and hanging out!


On the Santa Monica Pier for Mom's 50. All of the guys....Yes I know all of my other family members have this picture on their blog too, but I will admit it was my idea to take this. (L-R) Jer, Boy Sam, Peyton, Trevor, Chuck D, Ty, Adam, and Chris.


This is no wig my friends! I put my hair in sponge curlers and this is what it came out to be.......I was shocked myself, I was a "soul sista!" Sam and Lisa said I looked like a white Macy Gray.......Trevor.......well he didn't know what to think :o)

Welcome to the James-Doo-little Farm!


Our newest and final addition. He is our Shitzu puppy. I promise no more! It's a very good thing that I don't work anywhere with animals, Meem and Adam say we are now the Doolittle Farm.
The "FANTASTIC FOUR!" This is our "Complete" little family. Sarg, Chief, Pickles, and Duke! No kids yet, so why not dogs?


Myself, Trevor and Peyton during our last visit with them before we left.


The Beautiful Fall colors of Utah right now! It was so nice up there, the colors the weather, the people, and of course the scenery. This was on our way up to Heber going through Park City.
"Monkey Boy Peyton." Trevor, Girl Sam, Boy Sam and Myself were looking around at the Hogle Zoo shop and I decided to try new faces on Peyton! This one fits him the best.


Peyton, pounding on the pork-y-pine window at the Hogle Zoo!

I have no new pictures on my blog, but don't worry that does not mean that I am not keeping it up to date. Sam reamed me today and told me that at least I need to post a blog. So here it is. Tomorrow is our 2ND Anniversary 9/23/2008, and we are heading to Utah on Wednesday to hang out with Trevor's family and Sam, Sam and Peyton. After a lot of debate with myself I finally broke down and decided that I can and should go. Work is work and according to my family it will always be there! I am really looking forward to this trip with Trevor, an 8 hour drive there and back will be much fun, talking, and singing, reading, and joking. There is really not too much new with our family except that Sarg will be getting his stitches out tomorrow finally after his surgery. I am hoping he won't have to wear the "lampshade" any longer! So this blog thing is really fun, but frustrating at times, I can never put a cute background on, and then the music; nor can I ever add people to my blogger family, I always have to have Sara do it for me! I thought I was pretty computer illiterate, but when it comes to this thing, I feel like I am just a beginner computer user.

Outside of Cesar's Palace in Vegas.


Trevor and his "B.F.F." Joe. Trevor told me to add this one to the blog. Elton John was their idol in High School~


Sara, Sam, and Me after Sam and Sam's sealing! Notice that I am in a sweater because it was quit chilly, but you know those Utah Folk, they see sun and think that 55 degree water is nice and comfortable to go swimming...... in April let me remind you!


Special Olympics for Special people! Mom and I after completing the 25 mile bike ride for the Tour De Palm Springs. We made it through with only one accident from mom. She was riding up a hill along the curb, and couldn't put her feet down to get off and walk and tipped over like a "special person." It was so funny I couldn't walk over and help her out because I was laughing so hard. She was laughing so hard she couldn't get up. It was funnier than when she fell in Utah on the patch of ice and totally ate it. Now I think it's funny Sara!
My whole family, and their families~!

A night out in Paia, Maui. Charley's is Willie Nelson's restaurant. It was named after his dog, this place was some real down home cookin' with laid back locals and a classic front screen door that slams right behind you!
This was on our Honeymoon in Maui. There was this really cool music store in Kaanapali that we stopped at. Trevor was totally loving it! We spent a good two hours or so in there looking at everything. I think this is where he got his idea for the music/media room at our house. The family brought up a really cool idea that we should submit his name for "don't forget the lyrics." He would rock that show. Any song, any artist, any tune he can name it. Totally born in the wrong era this kid!~

Chief totally soaking up the camera time thinking I would give him a treat.


My poor Sarg! He had surgery on his ear and now he has to wear this so he doesn't scratch out the stitches. He is in so much pain, he had a humatoma on his ear that had to be removed. The Doctor created a huge cut that will be a scar to prevent the humatoma from coming back.


The media room before the paint just after being premiered!
Trevor Painting our Media room we decided on charcoal grey~ It's not done yet, but it is definitely getting there. After I premiered everything Trevor who does not like to paint was so pumped we finished it all in about 4 hours.


Trevor Playing Ultimate Frizbee with all of his brothers. We went camping down in San Diego with the family, and the boys picked up a new sport.

The one....the only.....DUKE!!!!! Duke is what Trevor calls "Special Ed." He is a little S....L.....O.....W.....! I like to call him Dukers. He is a cool dog, just a different breed sometimes. He is our Curly Coat Retriever.


As you can see....Blake had a very long run too! Trevor was carrying him back to the car and not even 5 minutes later Blake's head was bobbing...He was a dozer!


Clay, Ashley, and Myself after the Mud Run! Clay did so awesome, he was making me laugh the whole time~


Trevor and I after our Mud Run. This was so much fun. We ran through 5-6 Ft. mud holes, crawled through mud crawls, ran up and down 6 ft mud hills, climbed up 6 foot wood walls all in a 3 mile run! We had the best time! The pictures do no justice for what we really went through!

This is my bud Sarg. We rescued him from the pound. He is a very calm and quiet Boston Terrier.
