What we've been up too in February...

We were able to have a wonderful trip up to Frisco, Colorado...paid for by Encore Electric...since Cody had a job to do up there...it was so great! These mountain pics are the only ones I got...but they are beautiful!!! Both of these were taken right from our Hotel...one from the front office and one from our window...so pretty!!! HOUSE PROJECTS WENT UNDERWAY AGAIN... WE HAD A GREAT VALENTINE WEEKEND... Saturday Night we went to Red Lobster with our Friends Dave & Erica Garner, then we attended a ward Valentine Party and danced the night away...we have decided we are going to take dancing lessons...So Fun! Then Sunday was just a fabulous day...Cody spoiled me wrotten...He cooked me dinner and took care of all the animals all weekend! I have the best husband ever! WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL VISITOR IN OUR GARDEN... He finished off our cabbage leaves and broccoli leaves...Yummy to his tummy!! AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...WE GOT CHICKS!!! 12 OF THEM... Our friends the Garners went in on them with us, so they could have eggs too! The three kids got to pick out their very own chicks and name them! It was fun watching how excited they got to hold them! So now the chicks are living in our kitchen area for a while, until they get big enough to kick them outside! It's fun hearing the little peeps coming out of them! Zoey wondering what they heck these things are...she is actually scared of them! Jacob holding his chick...Chicky Chicky Joseph holding his chick...Gilbert Katherine holding her chick...Herminie All three of the kids excited to have chicks!

Halley Family Pictures

So I know my wonderful Sister-in-Law's already posted a bunch of pics on their blogs...but I just had to for two reasons...I loved the way the turned out...Thanks Kylee! And the second reason...we had to move the tribute to Buddy down...I get sad everytime I look at it!
We really did have a fun time taking the Family pictures this last December...even though it was freezing cold outside, we had a good time taking them! The kids were all really good sports...and so were the adults!
Thanks for taking the pictures Kylee...they turned out great!

A TRIBUTE TO MR. BUDDY HEAD

MR. BUDDY HEAD HALLEY
-JANUARY 19, 2007 TO JANUARY 11, 2010-

Our sweet Buddy was taken from us this last Monday night...never did we think we would lose him so soon! Both Cody & I loved that dog so much! He has been apart of our lives since we became a family. It has been hard to not have his happy little self around. He always was so excited to see you and always had his tail going 100 mph whenever you came home! We are just grateful to have been able to have so many great memories with him...he truly was our best friend and loved us so much too!

He was a good dog...the BEST dog...he will never be replaced!

WE LOVE YOU BUDDY! AND WILL MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!

~Christmas With The Phillips Family~

Christmas with our Phillips family was so much fun! We were able to play lots and lots of games, watch the Utes bowl game, play ping pong, eat lots of yummy food and treats, and just enjoy eachothers company! We had such a good time with everyone...lots of memories made and lots more to make! So many fun times! And good laughs!!! I think the best memory I will have is watching Dad and Mom open their present from their kids...they were so happy! And then to see Mom throw the money in the air...it was great! Christmas time is so great! Loved our time with the family...missed Ryan, Windy, Caitlin, and Brittany...Can't wait for May!!!
