Prayers Needed

For those who don't know, our friend Brandon Plewe (Katie Crockett's husband) was just diagnosed with a form or cancer known as Multiple Myeloma. A condition very rare especially for someone as young as him.
Starting in January Brandon was having back pains. Back problems are pretty common in Brandons family so he was being treated as such. Last Wednesday as Brandon was in excrutiating pain they went to the hospital and found that he had fractures in everyone of his vertebrae. He had lost 4 inches of height because his spinal cord had become compounded. They also found out that his kidneys were failing.
He begins chemotherapy this
 week, and then will have a bone marrow transplant. There is a fund being set up in Brandons name at Zions Bank to help with the cost of treatment. And a calendar where you can sign up to fast for the family. A website for Brandon and Katie is set up www.brandonplewe.com where u can get more information. Please keep Katie and Brandon and the Plewe and Crockett families in your prayers.

Day at the Park

Caesar and I went on a walk today, to get some much needed training in. He has become quite accomplished at walking at heel. We no longer even bring a leash and he hangs right by our side.


Today was a super fun day at the park because Caesar made some friends. Two 10 year olds came up and played with him and he LOVED it!


Here is Caesar demonstrating his 'Nice to meet you'!


The played fetch, and chase and tried to wrestle with him! It was after I took this picture I realized how ENORMOUS he is! When I got home I was cleaning up our yard. Apparently King Kong snuck into our yard and defecated! I will let your imaginations run with that! Anyway, we love this guy. everything about him is BIG and GREAT and I mean EVERYTHING!

Happy St. Patricks Day!




While I will spare you pictures of our green pancakes, eggs, and milk ( a tradition in my family) I'll tell you about our favorite new spot! The GreenHouse coffee and crepery!


The atmosphere is so fun, and has awesome artwork everywhere!


I really liked this painting on the back of the skateboard!





Our friends Matt and Cait introduced us to this HotSpot, and we fell in love. We played a rousing game of Trivial Pursuit, Drew worked on his construction studies and floor designs! While I sipped my vanilla steamed milk (a wonder that my dad introduced me to) and read Gone With the Wind, and bits of The Alchemist. Both incredible reads! All in all an incredible St. Patricks Day!


An awesome sign, and a great insentive to keep an eye on your kids!

Best Purchase Ever!




Well our vacuum broke! Along with most if the things we own right now (don't ask about cars, our washer, the fence etc etc!). So I jumped on my favorite website ksl.com and found this little beauty in perfect condition! It sells in stores for $300, I purchased this little beauty for $50, jealous! And I got to spend some quality time with Megan and Landon! A great day!

M.ade F.or E.ach O.ther!

So there I was almost 3 o'clock in the morning staring at a black ceiling. I had been laying there for probably 4 hours trying to fight genetics. My moms side of the family suffers from insomnia, and I must have done a cannonball into that area of the gene pool! Anyway... So I whip out Drew's phone and start exploring new features when I download a travel app that tells you about any place you could ever want to know about. So I type in Drews home town and am brushing up on my trivia when I notice a little fun fact!


2.2 miles away from his home (as shown on map) was this private school!!! 



Now tell me this isn't just screaming M.F.E.O. Yep! Made for each other!


They even have a summer camp! You know I'm going to go see if they sell t-shirts!
