Our cat is a little crazy sometimes

We certainly love our cat. She keeps us entertained, and never ceases to surprise us. She recently jumped close to 6 feet up in the air! Pretty talented. She also loves to hide around corners, and jump out at us. This almost causes me to carry a gun at home, but I haven't yet. Another thing she loves to do is beg for food. If she sees anything go in our mouths, she immediately lets us know she wants some too. We don't usually share, but sometimes she gets sneaky if our backs are turned...

Zee's favorite thing to do when we come home is settle down on our shoulders. You can see she's perfected the art of it, and looks very comfortable.

For a few days there, Zee would love to play in the blinds by our bed. We thought it was funny until she would do it at night while we were trying to sleep. No worries though, a squirt bottle solved the problem quite quickly:)


One of my favorite tricks that Zee will perform is the towel rack trick. The first time she performed this, she just climbed the towel till she got to the top. Now, she just jumps and lands perfectly on the top. Pretty impressive, since she only has 2 inches to work with. She finds it quite comfortable I guess, because she always does it.

This picture isn't Zee, but we still enjoy visiting Zoey when we go home to California. She also enjoys naps, and long walks on the beach at sunset.

Our weekend with Brooke Kathryn Simmons Horse and Pony Lover Forever (aka Brookie)

This last weekend, Brooke came up to visit us. We made sure that we kept her very busy, and had a ton of fun.

In this picture, you can see a herd of elk. We were on our way to cut down our first live Christmas tree when we spotted the herd on the side of the road.

In order to find the perfect tree, we had to walk through some fairly deep snow. We all had a tough time trying not to fall in too deep.

Ashley wanted to cut the tree down. She had it cut clean within 2 minutes. She and Brooke carried it back to the car while Dallas tried to dig himself out of snowbanks.


After Dallas dug himself out of the snow, he got to pose for a picture with his extremely hot wife :) Hot Dang!!




To finish off the weekend, Brooke helped us make a gingerbread house. She has some pretty mad icing skills!
