Spontaneously Sweet

Jake does more than enough to show me he loves me everyday. But look at this sweet, little suprise I found when I can home the other day.

He also jumped right on my request for a larger bookshelf. He cut it all out at the shop and had me a new one the next day!

Before

After

Jake's friend made this for us for Christmas. Jake and I loved it so much, he made one for my family for Christmas. Really creative!

I need to keep a record of all these wonderful things Jake does for us. He's such a handman and I love bragging about him. Don't forget Jake's other passion.... hunting/fishing. Here's Jake sturgeon fishing with my dad in Hegerman, Idaho over the weekend.

Our friend hooked Jake up with some great duck hunting just last week. He conveniently forgot all about class and played outside with his gun all day! He came home so sunburned. Little boy.

And he's been begging me to take pictures of this old boat he restored. It's absolutely amazing. I'll post that soon.

Vomit, Diarrhea, Dehydration...oh my

Here's the aftermath of Jake's 24 hour illness. Luckily Walmart is 3 minutes away and they never close! Good wifey. I made some apple pie at his request to celebrate his recovery. I waited a couple days so he wouldn't purge that too.

Our Holiday

Christmas was so fun this year. We spent the 23rd through the 26th in Burley and then through the 29th in Highland. I know... that's a lot of driving. Especially when all the roads are CLOSED and you have to take the long way around! But we were so happy to spend time with both families and not have to pay a fortune in gas. (knock on wood)

(It's a boot drier)

Jake's ready to go Duck hunting in his new boat.... (future post soon coming illustrating "new boat")


I definately got spoiled as well. This was just the best shot with my new running shoes.

My little sisters were a hoot Christmas morning! (as always) They are so fun to be with. I love being the big sis.

We had a sleep over in Highland with our nieces and nephews. They were so excited to have us. We watched Karate Kid!

We went to a party with all Jake's hunting guide buddies. Check out all those good lookin guys.

Other great things we did not captured on camera:

1. Body Worlds... AMAZING. I know my focus now is a little more centered on bones but I can't say I HAVEN'T studied the whole body in my day. Love it all!

2. Loa (a.k.a. Jake's favorite place in the world! Jake's grandparents live there. He spent Summers there working on the farm. He wants us to live there.... now you're filled in.

3. New Years Eve! We watched the Aggies win in over time in the Championship game at the Duel in the Desert tornament. Then counted down with some friends after.
