you heard of hudini....meet dogdini

Now we all are wondering what on earth could cause such a thing to happen to such a grand door. Well let me give you the details. I have all told you my stories about kloe the dog who ate my camera and what not well jensen and i apparently dont learn from stuff and think our dog is perfect.
CHristmas morning we wake up have a great morning opening up gifts and laughing and loving life enjoying all of our presents and being with family. We had all decided to go over to angelas house for breakfast that morning and watch the little kids open up ther presents, well jensen and i put kloe in the basement bathroom where we are staying not thinking anything of it, i mean its a solid wood door that should lock in a raging lion. We have a great time at angelas hanging out watching the kids getting to talk to matt and all the while kloe is making her escape attempt. When we get back home to the prestwich house we open the front door and there is kloe sitting by the door just waiting for us. (My first thought is how cool is that kloe has figured out how to open doors) I was so wrong.



She had spent the entire morning from the time we locked her away to the time we got back trying to get out of that bathroom. SHe clawed, she chewed, she probably ate a few pieces and finally made her get away. (the amazing part is she didn't break a nail or even get a cut) When i first saw the door i was like a little kid trying to find a way to cover it up so i wouldn't get in trouble but sadly a few min staring at this door and you could tell there was no way out of it. I started to bawl, i asked jensen if we needed to get a hotel room cause we are no longer welcome at the in laws anymore. Raquel and craig just started laughing at the door and couldn't believe a dog could do such a thing ( i think they were laughing to keep away the tears and the yelling) We felt awful down right awful, kloe got put outside and is no longer allowed inside when we are not home she has to suffer through it outside in the cold. (serves her right)



So i think out of all the tricks we could possible teach koe, the trick of how to get out of the bathroom is prolly my favorite.

just what i wanted...

Friday night i was hanging out with my friend kalle over at her house we were having a fun craft night and watching Bones. We had to go and pick up her little niece from some concert up on campus so i offered to drive being the awesome friend that i am. I am turning right at a red light when it happens, the car is moving forward but there is this loud THUMPING noise coming from underneath the car. we both look at eachother with the exact mirrored face....fear. I somehow had gotten a flat tire somewhere up on campus and it wasn't just any normal flat tire, this tire some completly off the rim and just hanging there. Of course jensen was at work and my cell phone was beeping low battery at me, to make matters worst not even 3 min after we pulled off the road my gas light comes on. So its just me, kalle, a 12 year old neice and my frantic scaredy cat dog alone on main street.
With my battery beeping at me i dialed the first contact i had in my phone (one of jensen old roommates from our single days) I hurried and explained my situation to him and tryed as best i could to explain where we were on main street right before my phone died. Aaron came to our rescue, changed my tire and gave a few jokes about jensen needing to learn how to change a tire. I now apparently owe him a crock pot full of meatballs all to himself during our super bowl party this year.
Well 200 bucks later and 2 brand new tires for the front of my car, i am back on the road and jensen gets 2 tires for my car for christmas. Isn't that awesome.

Thanksgiving

What i learned over thanksgiving at the jessens.

1. You can play a game of disney trivia with no blood being shed
2. One lonely byu fan will still jump and cheer in a room full of utah fans when byu scores.
3. Grandma noodles are still the best thing ever invented
4. It took all the boys, an hour, and lots of swear words too figure out how to change a tire.
5. It was actually cassidy with her owners manual who figured it out.
6. 12 adults+10 kids x 6 dogs = not enough seating
7. Losing your phone in the snow up the mountain....isn't fun
8. Having a winter pick nic finding the perfect christmas tree is delightful
9. It sure feels good when your little niece throws a fit cause all she wants to do is sit by you in dinner.
10. Thanksgiving is an amazing holiday, chalked full of tradition, secrets passed down generation to generation, compromising, family, laughing, crying, love, everything a family get together should be full of. I am so thankful for my family. My favorite place to be is at home sitting on the floor with one niece pulling my hair and being doggy piled by all the nephews at the same time. Nothing gets better then that.
