100 Random Tara Tidbits

Woot for 2009!
Happy 2009! As with all big events in our life, we welcomed 2009 by packing for Moab and leaving first thing Thursday morning for a weekend in the desert. Due to this being Moab's slow season we were able to rent a 3 bedroom condo for quite cheap with our friends Chad and Chelsea. It was such a treat to have all the room and a full kitchen! I thought I was pretty spoiled before, now I know what the high life is like! Our first night in town was spent with our dear friends, the Kratz Family. We met John, Alex, and Travis on our very first trip with Lemon Joy to Moab! They fed us dinner and we laughed the night away. Friday brought Chad and Chels into town and we just hung out. It was great!
Here's Miss Thang after her shower
Saturday was beautiful and fairly warm considering it was the first of January. After bundling everyone up, off we went up Pritchett Canyon
Playtime!
Lou-Lou's "sand/ice" castles
A little Rocker Knocker fun for Chadrick
I gave Rocker Knocker a valiant effort, but with the ice on the rocks, it wasn't in the cards for me that day. Of course, as soon as I hop out and Chris gives it a shot, Little Miss Persnickety walks right up it.
The Chelsinator and Chadrick-----We love you guys!!
The view from Cliffhanger
My two fearless co-pilots
Miss Moo riding with her two favorite people. Chad and Chels don't have any kids yet so they have graciously taken to spoiling both of ours. Brendon and Chad play XBox and Lyss won't leave Chelsea's side. The only downside to this story is that we live 8 hours away from each other, but all the more reason to treasure our time together!
Miss Pinkie in action......BWAHAHAHAHA!!
ALL the kids loved the ice! :)
Lemon Joy shadow is cool
I realize that I'm mostly crazy and very biased, but damn....those are two sexy looking rigs right there! :)
A quiet Christmas
We didn't have to dream of a white Christmas this year, the snow came and was very plentiful! Our Christmas was nice and quiet though. I made a big dinner Christmas Eve and then on Christmas Day, we went over to Chris' parents house and had a fabulous meal there as well.

Alyssa's "big" gift was a Nintendo DS
Christmas Day at Grammie and Dofe's wore little Sophie out!
Like my pair of three mismatched socks? :) Along with my dislike for winter, I'm not a huge fan of wearing shoes and socks. In an effort to become more at peace with my surroundings, I have taken to wearing crazy socks. My sweet husband found me these wild socks for Christmas and I LOVE them. Makes winter a little more bearable.

Being irresponsible......
Winter decided to settle into our mountains last week and just dump the snow on us. Slightly disturbing, but in the course of 2 days I got to pull 3 people out of the ditch so that's always a party. The real fun came last Thursday though. We were supposed to run down to Farmington to go Christmas shopping, but after passing 8 cars/trucks in the ditch just between our house and the highway, we put the kibosh on that idea. About mid afternoon, the wind died down and the snow lessened a bit so I took it upon myself to call our buddy Jody with a full size Bronco and off we went to terrorize the neighborhood! Any unplowed street was fair game and with all the V-8 muscle, did we ever have fun. There was snow everywhere in Lemon Joy, we both ended up stuck, Jody lost every gear but 2nd, Lemon Joy started on fire, then she over heated, BUT, we both made it home under our own power and we had a hoot!!
Bwahahaha! Let the fun begin!!
40 inch tires are sexy!
The downside of no windshield wipers in a blizzard......it was a bit awkward, but we made it.
Look at the tire spitting out the snow!
Jody and the Mud Puddle Monster
The snow was a bit deep in spots
You go girl!! WOOHOO!
Look at those cuties!
In case you were wondering......
this is what a VERY stuck rock buggy looks like! :)
That poor girl. And she really hates getting wet. 
Eye candy!!
Jody wanted to be cool like us so he got stuck too. :)
