I spy with my little eye..

Something white and fluffy
If you can't see it here is a closer look.


Ha ha. Henrie likes to hang out in our front porch sometimes but he loves the view of the street so he reaches his long neck thru the drain hole. Its always hilarious.
We may have the weirdest dog but we love him.

Tombstone



Yesterday we took a trip to Tombstone with Amelia's mom and grandma.  It's only accessible by donkey.


We saw the shootout at the OK Corral and got a chance to take a photo with the survivors (the Earps).



Tombstone is about 25 minutes from Sierra Vista, and basically out in them middle of nowhere.  It was booming in the 1870s and 1880s as a mining town, and is now an out-of-the-way tourist attraction.



It will forever be known as "The town too tough to die".

More Thanksgiving

I have hosted several Thanksgiving dinners over the past few years, but this was the first one where Amelia and I were co-hosts!  The food turned out great and we're still enjoying leftover turkey!

Happy Thanksgiving!


We celebrated Thanksgiving at our house this year - our first Thanksgiving as a married couple!  Amelia's mom and grandma came to visit and spend the weekend with us, and we had a great day making all of the food, watching the parade, and playing the Wii!

Save the Dolphins


The wind blew the leaves on our patio into a dolphin shape. Amelia loves dolphins, and this is probably the closest we will come to seeing a dolphin in Sierra Vista.

Field trip to the Mesa Temple!

Yesterday we got to take a field trip down to the Mesa Temple with the branch here on post! We left at 6 am on an Army bus and made the 3 hour journey up!

It was a great day and we enjoyed meeting everyone in the group!
My favorite was the group picture in front of the temple! Jared was kind of jealous he didn't think of wearing his ACU's!
And no field trip to the Mesa Temple is complete without a trip to In and Out!

What a delicious end to a perfect day!

Happy Halloweekend!


Our first Halloween here in Sierra Vista was pretty good! I think this was the first Halloween I didn't dress up which was disappointing, but I know there is many more Halloweens to come!

Of course we celebrated with a lot of treats!
And just because we didn't have costumes didn't mean that Henrie couldn't have one! :)
I even got to use my NEW sewing machine to make alterations on his tiny outfit!

We also got to decorate and was a hit at our ward's trunk or treat party. Henrie was the main attraction!
Best Friends!
