Crazy Adventure To Pittsburg Lake!

We took this picture today, October 25 at about nine o'clock when our amazing four wheeling adventure was about to take place with our best friend Josh Pederson and his adorable wife Christy, unfortunately, she had to leave right after this to work. We missed her very badly :(


We came across this really beautiful waterfall, you can't see it too well in picture but it was really gorgeous!


This is our good friend Josh and as you can see he is exhausted because he and Jared practically pushed our way sweet 1985 four wheeler up the mountain only to have the back tire go completely flat. This happened about 100 yards before the trail smoothed out... Typical!!!


After the tire went flat and we had all ready made it up the mountain about a half of a mile we decided to keep going because our destination was to try and get to a lake we found on a map and we decided to keep going, we were so tired and exhausted but the hike was so worth it! We came upon a beautiful lake (which is rare in Utah) and next to it was this old abandoned cabin. We were pretty much in heaven.


It got really hot on the hike up there so the guys stripped down to their jammy pants they were wearing as an extra layer, aren't they just ridiculously good looking???




This was Pittsburg Lake and unfortunately pictures don't do it justice, but it was so pretty.


Well if the flat tire wasn't enough, when they were bringing our four wheeler down from the mountain the steering arm broke right in half! So as you can see below the other four wheeler we were using had to tow our poor, broken, crippled four wheeler.




All in all even though we had a few trials on our adventure it was another crazy MacKnight Way Adventure!!!! I have an awesome video that I tried to put on here but I can't get it to work right now so as soon as I do I will post it!

All I can say is I'm a mean mother of my kittens...

Ok so this is what happens when you get laid off from your job and all you have to do is be home with your kitties. I promise I started cleaning our condo and then this is what happened...

Choncho just looked so precious in this pink shirt, but Blackey didn't seem to think so.


So then Blackey got a shirt, but he still thought Choncho looked dumb so he started to wrestle...


I took the shirts off them finally and they made up, this is them sleeping together.


Then they spooned...


I really need to get a life!!!!!! :)

I'm a bit odd!

Ok so I was tagged by my wonderful sister in law Jacquie and now I have to list six of the quirkiest things I do... Oh goody!!!! Ok well here we go...

1. Ok well first of all I have a certain problem that if something traumatic or gross in some way happens at a restaurant than I have the hardest time going back to that specific restaurant. I guess it would be hard to understand if I didn't explain a little of a past story... We were at The Golden Corral and well let's just say I accidentally saw something on a person that you never should have to see EVER!!! Any way, because of that I don't ever want to eat at a Golden Corral again!!!

2. Jared loves to point out this next thing I do. When we're in the car driving I steal "his" harmony. We both don't ever sing along with the melody, it's always the harmony, but it's always the same harmony. I tell him it's the harmony I've always sang along too but he says it is his harmony. So therefore I am a harmony stealer!

3. This next thing I do, I will admit I definately have an issue with. I always leave one, maybe two bites left of any meal I have. When I'm full, I'm full, even if it's just one bite!!!

4. This next thing I do, I'm the only one that knows this, but call it Obsessive Compulsive or whatever but when I'm walking up or down stairs if I don't finish the last stair with my left foot I feel weird.

5. This is probably a gross thing and another thing I am ashamed to admit, but I love picking at things, like if I have a sunburn I love the peeling skin, or if Jared has a zit (which he rarely does) I get to pop it!!! I know I'm gross...

6. And finally ever since I was little I loved pushing buttons, I loved the sound they made. I always had to be the one to push the up or down button at an elevator and I always wanted to be a cashier so that I could push the cash register buttons. Now that I have had many button pushing job positions I have been able to live my fetish for button pushing!!!

Well I hope that I didn't scare any one away by the weird quirky things I do! And Jacquie beware, I will flag you on something very soon!!!

Cabin trip in Island Park!

This last weekend was so much fun with Alisa, Cody and their daughter Maggie as well as our boys Choncho and Blackey. We checked the weather before we went up there and were expecting to get at least ten inches of snow. When we arrived there was all ready one inch on the ground and it didn't snow at all when we where there. Everyone else back home in Utah got the blizzard!!! Any way, it was a nice little get away before the snow gets really out of control. :(

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Here is a beautiful picture of the Shaffer family!

Maggie did not want to go outside, she wanted to be inside the whole time... Not!!! While we were all just sitting around Maggie started barking and there was a giant moose outside of the cabin and she was very excited, too bad our camera wasn't handy at the moment.
Jared loves taking pictures...
"It was us!" (Quote from the notebook) Jared loves getting his picture taken...

Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters... hehehehehe

Here's a cute little squirrel getting fat for winter!
