Wow, life sure can be crazy! Scott and I were talking about how fast the semester has gone by and realized that it is just going to go by quicker in the next couple of weeks. We're really excited to have a special visit from my family next month! They will be coming for my graduation :) Hooray! I'm graduating!

We're excited for them to personally see...

our new decor (thanks again Dang Gina-the giveaway blog, and Melissa Jackson-the giver and amazing artist!)

our "special" lizard friend (I can tell just how excited Mom is, she just can't wait to meet him!...hahaha, joking!)

see our amazing cooking skills (this is a Stromboli we made a few weeks ago)

We're just really excited for them to come :)

Other than this excitement of things to come we have also been enjoying the present. We love having Teancum around to give us some excitement...even if he is boring 23 hours of the day...that one hour just makes our day! haha.

Isn't he so adorable?
Well, other than enjoying Teancum, we've been going to school, surviving, working and spending any second we can together. Life is good :)

Dear Teancum,
You are a silly creature.

When Scott finally catches you, you like to play dead in his hand. You get stiff and close your eyes, but you're not tricking us!

You are so cautious but then every once and awhile you get in some pretty awkward spots. I'm pretty sure you hung on to the log at this angle for at least five minutes before trying to get off and then you had to do a crazy flip to even land correctly.

You love crawling up the glass and sleeping while standing on your hind legs. Silly goose!

We sure get a kick out of you...when you aren't being lazy and boring.
Oh, and what's with pooping in your water bowl all the time ;)

Thanks for adding some fun into our lives :)
Love, Scott and Cassie

PS-we are doing good other than taking care of Teancum. School and work are keeping us both busy. Yay for an exciting life :D

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!
