Our sweet little kitty passed away recently. I know that a lot of people will argue the sweet part. But even though he didn't like people a whole lot, we know that he loved us. He would cuddle up with us and always talk to us and seek out our attention. Our dodger cat became ours in a funny little twist. While James made his first visit to Monticello to ask my dad the big question and to meet the rest of my family. We also discovered that one of the barn cats had a small litter of kittens. of these 3 cute little kittens Dodger was one. We oh and ah and cuddled with the new kittens not thinking much of it till about a month later when we were down in Monticello again. This brave little kitten now a lot bigger strolled right up to us and cried till we picked him up. Then he cuddled right into our arms. we ended up taking that kitty home. James did it cause he thought I wanted the kitten and I did it cause I thought James wanted him. Either way we had him. We picked Dodger for a couple reasons. First it fit, and second cause after he got out of the house the first time and we were certain of never seeing him again, but he came back. I made a joke about him dodging danger and it kinda stuck. Dodger was our little kitty, but he still had a little wild in him. After all he was a "Monticello Cougar" as James liked to call him. Dodger liked to spend most of his time out doors, we thought that after he got fixed that this would change but it didn't. We would see him more often but that was pretty much it. He would cry to get outside and cry to be let in again. He would only spend a few hours to a day eating and sleeping before he would want back out again. After getting his tail pulled on by our nephew he never really liked kids much after that. Except my friend Karen's little girl. He was a no-nonsense cat who told you what he wanted and when he wanted it. If you were getting on your nerves he would only give you one warning before he wouldn't take it anymore. He loved Rosko and tolerated Toto. He did love James and I and we were the few that he would curl up with and take a cat nap. We love our little kitty and will miss him.

March Birthdays
March 6:
This is Josh. He is our miracle baby on my side of the family. My sister and her husband waited years (and I mean years) for him to come along and sure enough while I was on my mission my sister sent me a letter telling me she was pregnant. Josh is true blue through and through B-O-Y. he loves to help his dad work, whatever his dad is doing. Josh is right beside him. He loves all things boy, Big trucks, 4-wheelers, dinosaurs, mud, etc. But he is also a loving little guy with a quick smile and hug. Josh is a sweet little guy and I'm happy to be his aunt.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
March 7:
My sister in law celebrated her birthday on this day. Lisa is an avid reader that can put a lot of people to shame. She's the first person that I have seen and been in the same company with who can start and finish a book in one sitting. Lisa loves her family and spending time with them. She loves playing with the "kiddos" and looks forward to game time every Sunday dinner. Hope you had a great day! :)

Presidents day, Birthdays, Updates.
*WARNING* This post might be boring. :p
My sister and her husband met us there, and they went with us to the Church history Museum. I never even knew this museum existed till last fall when my friend Dawn took me there. I always love the wonderful spirit that I feel when learning more about the prophet Joseph Smith and the wonderful pioneers who sacrificed all for the Lord. We had a wonderful time reading the stories and immersing ourselves in the history.
A replica of a wagon that crossed the plains
The actual death masks of the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum Smith. It was hard for me to pull away from this. I love how peaceful and serene the Prophets face looks
This is the wedding dress of the great,great,great grandmother of one of the missionaries that works at the museum. I thought that was so cool.
We really had a great time. After the museum we said good bye to Kari and David and headed up to Layton to spend the Red Lobster gift card that James got for Christmas from his work. We had a really great day. It's nice to get a date night with James ever now and then, and what a great chance to relax right before midterms. :)
For James birthday I was going to surprise him by taking him to IHOP for breakfast, but due to a rather lengthy game of Mario brothers (one of his presents I got him) the night before we didn't wake up till about 11:00. So we decided on lunch instead. :p We called Mom A. cause she wanted to take James shopping for clothes for his birthday. We met up at Savers where James found some pants he liked. Then went to JcPenny where he found a whole outfit he liked. :) Then Mom and Dad A. surprised us by treating us to lunch. It was so much fun spending the day with them. After lunch/dinner, James and I ran some errands and then played the Jungle book game (what you wanna do, I dunno what you want to do) to decided on what to do next. We didn't really have money for what we wanted to do...either that or what we wanted to do was closed. So we headed out to Mom and Dad's house for a movie night. Mom recommended Prince of Persia. It was a really good movie and an overall great day.
For Presidents day we wanted to get out of the house and have a fun date day. We have heard a lot about the new exhibit on temple square. They have a small replica of the temple inside and out. i got to see it awhile ago after I dropped one of the work cars off for maintenance and had to walk back to the college. I stopped in to take a look. But James hadn't seen it yet so what a great chance. So we headed into Salt Lake and really made a fun afternoon of it. We stopped at the Joseph Smith memorial building so I could get some stuff at the distribution center then we headed over to the South East visitors center . The whole visitors center has changed since last time I was there. It was fun to read about the pioneers and the many wonderful and miraculous stories about the sacrifices they made to build the temple and then we went and looked at the model. It was so neat to take the time to really look at it. We got to talk with one of the sister missionaries and she told us that they call it God's doll house, It really looked like it to.
