Howdy from St. George

By
My sister Carrie invited Chris and I to St. George last weekend to see the Parade of Homes. We were so excited to go but it snowed and Jeff had to plow up in Park City. Chris and I were so bummed we decided to go this weekend with just the two of us. Some of you might say "Why would you drive 4 and 1/2 hours to stay 2 nights in St. George"? Our answer to this... No Snow!
And to eat at our most favorite restaurant-The Painted Pony.


Our water came in goblets. Nice touch.


Chris's avocado and grapefruit salad


My Macaroni and Cheese


The BEST cheesecake in the whole world!

The pictures don't do it justice. 

It was so worth the drive just for this.

You will just have to try it to believe us.

We also saw the movie Coraline. I was expecting it to be weird... and it was. I am not sure If I would let my kids see it, if I had any kids that is. There is a part were a really well endowed woman is pretty much wearing pasties and a thong. Weird.


This was a much needed quick weekend away. I strongly suggest everyone to do something like this! Pack your bags for the weekend, get a cheap hotel, treat yourselves to some really good food, and sleep in!
(Just so you know it took about 12 tries to get this picture.
I kept closing my eyes! :)

Way to go! I just love quick little getaways...we actually did the same this weekend, but we just went up to Cache Valley. It was so great, and much needed as well!

Am I the only Gunther girl who DOESN'T close her eyes for pictures?!? I think it's so funny. But, I guess Pete makes up for it because he's always closing his eyes.
I think that cheesecake looks d.vine! I am guessing you guys don't like blueberries?!?
And I HAVE to ask about that picture, Jena. WHat the heck?

That would be pre-wrap. Chris got a little carried away when he was practicing his wrapping one night. Silly Chris :0)

What picture are you and Dana talking about? pre-wrap?! I'm confused. Anyways...I'm so jealous that you guys went to St. George w/o us. Oh well, we'll have to go with you next time. That dessert looks super yummy.

Playlist Fun

By
I thought this would be a cool idea, and a chance for me to brag about how awesome we are ;) I decided to create a playlist that only had bands on it that either Jena or I (or both) have seen in concert. So you are now listening to this playlist. Here is a little information to go along with the playlist: It only includes bands that we wanted to see, it doesn't include opening bands (unless we really liked them). You will notice that there is more than 1 song for a few of the bands. This reflects how many times we have seen them live. (Yes, I have seen Red Hot Chili Peppers 3 times, and I will see them again if I have the chance.) I refused to include songs from 2 of the concerts that Jena has been to, for personal reasons. These concerts are Garth Brooks and The Dixie Chicks. The first concert I ever went to was in 8th grade and it was Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. You know, from Led Zeppelin. I took my dad to see Deep Purple for Father's Day a few years back. Smoke on the Wate...

Our Everyday Life: Weeks 15-21

By
Where do I begin?! A lot has happened in the few short weeks that I haven't blogged. We unexpectedly moved back to Utah! Not only Utah, but our old hometown. **** Before we moved back to Utah, we visited family in Utah for Thanksgiving. Creating hand turkeys with Mema for thanksgiving. Jordis was quite positive that we couldn't see her. Barber Family Photo! I think he's pretty handsome... Boy band shot. All the grand kids.  We made candy sleds to race at GG's house with some of Jordis' cousins.  ****    We frequently head to the Harley store as a form of entertainment. Jordis could ride on this rocking  Harley all day. Notice that she HAS to wear gloves while riding. We had one last get together with some of our really good friends in Twin before we left. Visiting someones house that they decorate their entire yard and ...
