Our Little Hero

I am writing this post to publicly thank Paul the Large Weener Dog. (He used to be know as "Paul the Small Dog" but it no longer seems appropriate thanks to the addition of Penny the Puppy Weener Dog to our family. Tonight we (Sarah, Kyle, Paul, and Penny) were fortunate enough to visit our local Wal-Mart (it was way tight). We arrived home about 10:30 pm and climbed out of the car as usual. The dogs generally just run straight to the door and wait for us to let them in. Tonight Paul didn't want to come in and was sniffing around the side of our house and trying to get our attention. After calling his name 54 times, Sarah walked over to see what he was inspecting. Turns out he had spotted a freshwater spring in our yard. Something went wrong with our sprinkler system and water was bubbling up from a cracked pipe at the rate of 392 gallons per minute. If our little hero hadn't pulled a Lassie, our basement would have flooded and I would have had no other choice but to kill myself. Paul the Hero is going to receive the royal treatment tomorrow, which includes:

* Being allowed to sleep in our bed
* Hundreds of pounds of crispy bacon
* Being allowed to lick his own genitals with us yelling "Paul stop!"
* Picking whatever Halloween costume he wants from Shopko
* Going the whole day without being told that his legs are disproportionately short

Thanks Paul the Large Weener Dog. You will forever be known as a hero !

Enjoying the last days...

I am very upset about the season change. But, Kyle and I are making sure to not miss out on the nice weather! We have had a great past couple of weekends. We enjoyed the family cabin and Park City/ Swiss days over Labor day, which entailed a lot of shopping, and Kyle yodeling about baked goods from the Relief Society booth.
This past weekend, my parents were nice enough to take me boating because every other boating trip we went on this year, I was ill with the gall bladder problem. I went with my sisters and parents, waking up very sore and tired from doing the wake skate over and over, and Kyle enjoyed a day at Lagoon with his family. Here a a few fun pictures. Enjoy!


Getting ready for fun
