Ice Skating.

I FINALLY talked Jason into going ice skating with me. I have literally begged him in the past, but I finally gave up after nearly 3 years of dating and being married. But, after seeing a groupon for ice skating and how good of a deal it was, I got barve enough to ask Jason (again) if he would join me. It may have been that I hadn't seen him in a week, or he really was in the mood to try something new, but he said he would go! Totally shocked/surprised me. He is always the one introducing me to new things, so I was REALLY excited for him to go. 

What was fun about the groupon, it included 2 hot chocolates with the 3 hours of skating.... and good thing it did, because our dogs were'a aching! 
{that's good 'ole Okie talk for our feet were tired ;)}

A few things to report from this momentous occasion:
#1 No falls!
#2 Jason can backwards skate. 
#3 For our next careers, we will be an "ice dancing" couple. 
We practiced some. A little girl came up to us after and said, "you guys are really good!!!" 
It took a lot for Jason and I not to bust out laughing. 
We were just fartin' around.
 (again, Okie talk. I'm startin' to like it!)

During our hot cocoa break. 
He is so handsome! 

Jason being VERY careful not to fall while trying to work his camera magic.

Yes folks. He really is backwards ICE skating on his first day.
Professional.

PROOF! We were there together. It's hard to get pictures of us as a couple. Good thing there are always strangers around. 
Yes Mom, I did talk to a stranger. But, I didn't take the candy he offered me. Just kidding! : D

Christmas 2011.



Oh me, oh my!
It has almost been a month since my last post! So I guess the saying is true, time really does fly! I better get to talking about Christmas before Valentine’s Day gets here!

This Christmas we spent it (again) with my family in Arkansas. Jason and I had such a great time! But we were also thinking about his family back in Arizona. Wishing we could be at two placed at once, or at least see both families in the same day. Maybe some day soon. : )

I love the Christmas season. It gives you hope for the New Year to come, and time to reflect on the year that was. 

We had our traditional Christmas dinner, steak, shrimp, baked potatoes, and what ever veggies sound delicious at the time. Always a winner in my book. Since we had t-bone steaks this year (thanks Mike & Mary B German!) Jason decided that it should be Christmas for Daisy too! So she got the bone from our steak. I'm pretty sure it was as big as her, well maybe I'm exaggerating a little. : )
She LOVED it. 

Christmas damage, CHECK! : )

Love them.

Does anyone else have this problem: all the good pictures turn out blurry or out of focus?! Drives me crazy sometimes. No matter, you can still tell how happy our little family is.
