Whitney loves her Johnny Jump-up. Before we took the video she was jumping up and down, waving and squealing. We thought it was so funny. After we got the camera to take a video, Whitney wasn't as excited. Luckily, she waved again at the camera and jumped a little bit.
Yesterday we went up the canyon to go fishing, again. We were there for about two hours and didn't catch anything. It was worth the trip though because the weather was beautiful. It was nice until the sun went down, then it started to get cold. I heard that this was supposed to be the last weekend of the season with warm weather. We went with some friends who brought their dogs. The dogs kept getting caught in the fishing line, so me, Whitney, the dogs and the other girl went on a walk along the shore while the guys fished.
This weekend it got cold enough to actually use our fireplace. We have central heat in the house, but we wanted to try to stick out the cold and see how cold it would really get without the heater on. I didn't think we'd need it for at least a few more weeks. Well, it's pretty cold! Luckily, the fire heats the house good enough. There's a blower hooked to it that blows the heat out into the room. We did get a space heater for Whitney's room to make sure that she is warm enough all winter. It's almost impossible to keep her covered with blankets at night because she moves so much in her sleep lately.
A few weeks ago I started the process of getting our Acura registered in Utah. In Utah an emissions test is required to register the vehicle, and when I went into get it done I had no idea that it wouldn't pass! To make a long story short... the "check engine light" was not coming on when the car was started, so it didn't pass. So, I took apart the dashboard to see if the bulb was burned out...and I found that there was no bulb at all. I stole a bulb from another light slot and it worked. But, it worked so well that it stayed on :(. I had AutoZone do a test on it and there was something wrong with the fuel line. I took it into a mechanic that the AutoZone guy suggested (I think it was his brother because they looked a lot alike)to fix the problem. Half an hour after I dropped it off, he called and said my gas cap was leaking, so I needed a new one($11). Labor and all, the gas cap ended up costing about 50 bucks. If only I would have thought of it! So the Acura passed the retest and I am now a proud owner of Utah plates. Yeah, not really, but now I have an excuse when I cut people off, or go slow in the fast lane, or speed, or slow down for an accident on the other side of the freeway, etc. People will just notice my plates and say "ahh a Utah driver" instead of saying "stupid women driver!" There are however, a select few "Utah Drivers" who are good drivers and so, if you are reading this please do not take offence! Of course every state has their bad drivers, right?!
