It's that time of the year again....

When we have all the sweet holidays. I'm not saying that St. Patrick's day isn't sweet. But, do you get a pillow sack full of candies or pumpkin pie? What about a white Christmas? I think not. It's also the time for insurance premium renewals, car registration, and birthday season. Fun and not so fun. We also get the puppies groomed right before the holidays. Here are some before and after pictures. Some from the iPhone, some from the camera. They're fast, so it's hard to get a good picture with them without a camera with amazing shutter/aperture speed.

Before

After

Horse Chestnuts.

For those of you who have not made it to our little home in Riverton, you're missing out on the chance to see one of the most beautiful Horse Chestnut trees ever. Our tree is over 30 feet high, who knows how old it is. Unfortunately - the chestnuts are not edible. Their color on the other hand is as Dick Van Dyke would say, "Truly scrumptious." Here are some pictures. And a picture of the dogs as well.

The leaves

I wish I had taken more pictures in the summer, these are usually bright green and very sharp. Emphasis on the very.

The backyard grass is starting to come in, as you can see. Where this pictures was taken, we find the most sparse grass in the yard.

An Endorsement!

Kanye has decided to endorse our site. He's not the best sponsor, at least he is a celebrity.

If you MMS with Blogger does it work? If you can see the picture, appearantly so. Last night we went to the fair and had a great time. It was raining so we got to walk around a little damp. But there was no one there! It was awesome. Lately Amber and I have started to watch Heros. We started from Season 1. I'll have to work to not let it suck me in. I tend to get wrapped up in stories. No matter how lame. We got Netflix and cancelled our Comcast (dirty low down cheating dogs) - saving us 60 bucks a month. We were pretty stocked. And I get to watch quirky old sci-fis and independant films.

Netflix for the win!

(p.s. MMS doesn't work.... I had to add the photo later.)

iPhone blogging

Aowah my fellow bloggers! I've set up mobile blogging via text. Maybe this will incentivate Amber and I to blog more. How hard is to text in a small post every once in a while? Not. That's right. This weekend my sister: Evelyn is going to get married - making her the second child to get married in the Rimmasch Clan. Ben is 2 weeks after that, so we'll see if we have something to blog about. On a different note, our good friend Cam has started a blog. And we have added his link to our page. Good luck Cam!

P.s. Texting = typos. Accept it.

Birthday Cookys

In the weeks since visiting Moab nothing terribly exciting has occured. Well I did have a birthday but that happens once a year so it really isn't exciting. To my delight the company I am interning with this summer gave me the day off with pay which is quite gracious. Sam and I spent the day indulging my love of shopping. We even dined at the same restaurant our first date took place. He is quite the romantic and spoils me whenever possible :] . Part of my gifts included a 1930's cooky press that his great grandma once surely used while wearing a little house wife apron waiting for the kids to return from school. Beside one fatigued part, the press was in mint condition including a camel cookie template which is quite delightful.

I couldn't help myself and made cookies the same night. It was as though I had fallen into an episode of Leave it to Beaver. That is until I started to call the cooky press (yes the recipe book quaintly spelled it "cooky") inappropriate names due to the malfunctioning handle. Of course after my half hour struggle to make everything work, much to my chagrin Sam figured out a solution in about 20 secs. The end result were some tasty lemon-lime cookies that wowed my family.

.:MOAB:.

In the middle of June the Rimmasch family took a little trip down nostalgia lane. We all hopped in the SUVs and traveled down to Manti where we saw the Mormon Miracle Pageant rehearsal. (This was Kim & Marylou Rimmasch's first date) The entire time the rain poured down while the actors traversed the slippery hill.
Just a couple blocks away we stayed in a quaint bed & breakfast that is as almost as old as the city itself. Our room had fabulous wallpaper that looked like the walls were made of river rock.


Once we had our fill of Manti we traveled to the great land of Moab, my birthplace. Although there was much rain during the drive when we arrived in the city it was dry and the perfect temperature. We of course went to Arches where we had the chance to hike and see amazing natural formations.

It was a great trip and only gave us the desire to go to Moab on a frequent basis.
