What a week it has been :)

First of all, Scott got an amazing blood blister at work. Isn't he talented?

Tina, you will be so proud (along with the rest of you who say our blog is just pictures of food) because I will be splitting up the food with pictures of other things. We do have a life outside of food...I know...it's a deep thought.

So Scott and I had been talking about how we really like these amazing burritos called Texanos. They are found at a local mexican restaurant here in town. They include:
a spicy chicken inside

with fried potatoes,

a tortilla (duh), cheese, and sour cream.

So we decided to create our own Texano. It was a masterpeice! It will be a staple in our life now ;) I also made us orange julius'. It was a great night! We felt like royalty for sure :)

I also gave us haircuts this weekend.

Scott went longer than he ever has since I have known him without getting a haircut. This pile was a big pile for him :)

Before:

After: (didn't he do a good job making that weird face twice? :D )

So I also came up with another creation this week. I found out that Olive Garden's breadsticks (another one of the yummy things we enjoy at a restaurant) have garlic and oregano on top of them. So I recreated them using Scott's Mom's bread recipe.

They were DELICIOUS!

And the recipe made enough to last us a good half of the week...possibly longer if they hadn't been so amazing...we kind of ate them fast considering their delectableness.

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for...

HOORAY! We would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family! His (we assume it is a he) name is Tiancum. If you think back to your knowledge of this Book of Mormon good guy, he gave people heartattacks...right? So, along with liking the name we decided it also fit him since he will be most likely give my mother, and possibly others, a heart attack when they come to visit us. hahahahahahaha. Yep. My husband came up with that one. But in all honesty, Mom we will do our best to keep you out of his way. :D

Isn't he just adorable?! We like him a lot. I even held him :)
Thanks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much Emily!!!!!!! If it weren't for Em we would still be lizard-less.

In more Kinghorn news, we invested in a small netbook for Scott this week. It came today, not long after our little guy got here. So Scott has had a very exciting day today! What with a new lizard and new computer, what else could a guy want?!?

So we are doing well, "hanging in there" and super happy :) Yay for happiness of life.

This is my wife Cassie. She's hot.

This is my new circular saw getting it done. I'm attempting the barely possible: me being a craftsman. You might also notice my very broken sled.

So I've never done any wiring of anything before. I didn't even have wire strippers, so I was doing that with a box cutter. With some expert advice, I managed to get the wiring right on my first try! No electrocutions, or even tripped circuit breakers.

This is me showing off to Cassie the successful wiring of the lizard tank lid.

And finally, this is what the finished lid looks like on the decorated tank. Those are the lights that our little guy will need. Now all we need is the little guy... Hopefully this week!

Last Saturday we went on a fun after Christmas trip. Scott got to use his new swimming goggles! We went to Green Canyon Hot Springs and played in the water. On our way home we got to eat some tasty treats.

We got our treats from a new place in Rexburg called Twizl Berry. It was a lot of fun, like a buffet ice cream store.

words just don't describe how cool we are...

Mom Kinghorn got to come and visit us in order to go to a funeral. It was a bitter sweet visit, possibly too much of tease since it was a short visit :) But we made the best of every moment!

meet: Royal Burger

Onion burger

and A1 Peppercorn. Scott was in heaven since he was with two women who couldn't finish their big burgers themselves. So he got the rest of both of ours :)

We went out on New Year's Eve and then came home and celebrated with Dan. We had some sparkling cider...

and Scott taught Mom how to play the Wii :)

We loved having her here with us.

Look at all the snow we've gotten! :) So actually this picture is from what the snowplows moved out of the way in a grocery store parking lot. That is Scott on the left, the pile was as tall as him!!

We have gotten a lot of snow though. Not a ton compared to last year but we have a very white and beautiful city at the moment. About a foot of snow overall.

So we decided to go out and have a winter adventure! Scott bought a nice sled, that would survive his skills.

And Dan decided to start our adventure early by getting his truck stuck in a 4 ft snow drift at the bottom of a snow covered hill...we did a lot of pushing and he was able to find a tricky way out.

By the time we were done pushing the truck I was super tired and Scott took me off to where we would be sledding. On the way there we had to walk through more 4 ft snow drifts. My legs were not liking that so my sweet husband offered to pull me in the sled. That didn't last long though, since the snow drifts didn't disappear. In this picture Scott is waist deep in snow...yes, my 6"1' husband...you can laugh as you try to imagine me getting out of the sled, but only because I gave you permission.

So as you can imagine, I was a little tired by the time we got to the sledding hills since I'm not amazing like Scott. So he and Dan enjoyed the sled while I took pictures and laughed at them crashing.

...and if you are wondering, no the sled did not survive Scott's skills. hehe. He is hoping he can melt it back together.

Happy New Year!

While Scott was working this week, and when I wasn't working (I did work, I wasn't a complete slacker) I did some random things around the house. The biggest project was going through all of my school documents to organize for my last semester :) My portfolio has begun. This is an item that I will present to the heads of my department along with at least 5 other professionals. It documents my progress through this major and will show my competence in the area of Early Childhood Special Education. Yeah. I'm cool like that.

So our Christmas was amazing. We enjoyed taking turns handing out presents that were contained in our awesome terrarium :)

Scott got some prescription goggles from Cassie and will be using them later today. We're excited for him to be able to see while swimming!

All the Kinghorn children got CD's of their favorite songs growing up. Such a fun gift! It's been fun getting to listen to the songs they grew up with...with the music. Scott has sung a good deal of them to me on various occasions but it's nice to really get to hear what it's supposed to sound like... ;) hehe. Just kidding! He has a great voice...

My favorite present from our Gale parents got a nice smile out of Scott....

They gave us money for the reptile...haha. My mom hates reptiles, so her sacrifice is worth more than money :D

This one is of Scott opening up the CD's from Mom and Dad Kinghorn

I got him a CD too but it was a download onto my computer so I printed the cover of the CD and put it in a big box. haha. I'm so funny.

You probably thought you wouldn't be seeing me, huh?

My sisters gave me this super cute outfit.

We had a super fun Christmas and were so blessed to be able to spend it together.

This is a snapshot of my gift pile. Some of this was presents to Scott and I both, but mostly it is just my pile.

We are so blessed to have the love of family and friends and, most of all, the gift of a Savior.

I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life. I love my Savior and am so grateful for all he has done for us and all he has given me.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's been cold here in Rexburg (below zero a few days a week) and here is what I looked like walking home from the gym/class the other night:

I was plenty warm, except for my eye area. I had to take my glasses off because they kept fogging up so it was safer for me to squint. :)

Scott and I got to make our yearly nativity today :)

We carved soap :) My husband is so talented!

Scott made Joseph and the manger

and I made Jesus and Mary.

I also made this super cute cookies!

Can you tell what they are?

melting snowmen perhaps? :) hehe.

Merry Christmas to all!

I love my laptop! At this moment I really wanted to post about our cute little Christmas tree but I didn't want to get up and get my camera...so I took pictures with my laptop :) So fun. I am so in love with technology.

...

We decided to use the space our aquarium is taking up for the month by decorating with it :) This year might be the only year that our presents will really be "under" our tree until we finish school and get a bigger tree. haha.

Just thought we would share some Christmas joy and let everyone else laugh at us like we laugh at ourselves :) Aren't we hilarious? :)

Oh! and did you notice that super cute star on top of our tree? I totally made that! I found an origami pattern for a star topper. So fun! I love being crafty :)
