Let's catch up

Well, a lot has happened since January. We still live in West Jordan, and work at Lowe's but, Sophie now lives with my mom and is during somewhat better. She moved because she started chewing up Carter's things, like his blinds and the carpet under the door. She was being a pretty good dog, but then she started killing chickens. They are now working on making her a run so they can still keep her. So she will only be out when my dad is home.

Dalas moved in a few weeks ago, and he fills the last room in the house, making us have a person in every room. Dalas did take over Pippin's room, so Pippin likes hanging out with him a lot. He will sit and wait outside his door, even if Dalas is not home to let him in. With him moving in has made it easier to see each other, plan trips and dates. Even though we live together, we don't always see each other everyday. He has a set schedule and for the most part I do not. After telling my manager which shift I like working he changed my schedule. So for about the next two weeks, Dalas and I will almost have the same schedule. He'll start work an hour earlier but we'll get off at the same time. So we will see each other before and after..

Pippin is now a year old and still loves going to Lowe's. He has a route he does when we go. He kind of walks the perimeter of the store, and looks for certain people before he can say hi to everyone else. His favorite person works in receiving, and if we don't find him first, he is a grump the rest of the day. He enjoys car rides, even if its just to the gas station for a car wash. The older he gets the whiter his fur becomes, and he has developed white spots in his copper socks.

Earlier this year we went on a small girls trip to a small town in California and it was probably one of the best trips I had this year. We stayed in Edgewood, at a little Airbnb with a gorgeous view of Mt. Shasta. We went thrift shopping, walked around different towns, met some fun people, ate very good food and went on a hike. On the hike we went to see a waterfall (I've forgotten the name of it), the trail went right underneath the waterfall, close enough that we were able to drink from it. Only a few of us actually drank from it. But it was a fun experience. Following the trail it led to a lookout which is where we got to view a river. The hike wasn't very long but we got to walk around the town after.

We drove up there with our little sister, cousin, and mom. One of the main reasons for going was to go to Five Marys Burger House in Fort Jones. We follow Five Marys Farm on Instagram, and when we saw they had opened a restaurant, my mom and I wanted to go and try it. It was amazing and worth driving twelve hours. Overall we had a great time and did everything we planned on doing. It was such a great and relaxing vacation from work, stress, and having too much to think about.

We are currently planning the girls trip to somewhere else in California, this time our cousin is planning it, and I can't wait to see what we do next!

We got a puppy, We moved again, Sophie joined the family.

It's been a long time since this was updated. A lot has happened since October, if you don’t follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you wouldn’t know but, we got a dog. His name is Pippin (or Peregrin Took if you ask certain employees), he is a Silver Heeler with oddly round ears, and he is now six months old and last time I weighed him he was thirty pounds. We did have Niklaus and Lewi when we got Pippin. They hated us for it. A few months with all three made us realize that having Pippin was putting more stress on Klaus than needed. We thought about giving them up for adoption when our cousins mentioned that they were looking to get cats, so we talked to them, and took them over to get introduced to their new home. 

Because the first couple months we had Pippin, he played, learned, grew with the cats, he now will knead while he stretches, and grabs things, like a cat grabbing a toy. He oddly likes the toys with bells and feathers.

We’ve moved in with our two brothers, in West Jordan. We are still working at Lowe’s, it’s just a farther drive then before. Although our apartment was closer, the house we are in has a fully fenced yard, and more space for him and his things. It’s a five-bedroom house, and there are only four of us, so Pippin has his own room. There are now three dogs living here.

Carter’s dog is a familiar one, our work friend couldn’t keep her dog, Sophie, anymore. She is a one-year old Silver Heeler, who is Pippin’s older sister. She started misbehaving while our friend was at work. One day at work I asked how Sophie was doing and I was told that she was going to the pound, I told her to wait and I would find someone to take her. I then posted that she was looking for a good family, I also texted my brother to see if he would want her. A few messages later with a few people, and we now have Sophie, who is getting more used to being with two very energetic pups who like to run. Yesterday morning she woke me up to play with her. That just led to her and Pippin playing outside before we went to work.

That’s all that you missed!

Here are some pictures of our dogs!
