Kobe Cho Sushi

We got a gift certificate to this sushi place called Kobe Cho in Salt Lake City and little did we know that it's the home of the "Hellfire Challenge." If you don't know what that is, click here: http://www.kobechosushi.com/2010/06/the-hell-fire-challenge/. This place had the Travel Channel TV show Man vs. Food come out and try their challenge! It was funny because Spencer and I had no idea about this "challenge", and someone actually did the challenge and won while we were eating our dinner! He looked like he might have gone straight to the hospital afterward because it's so hot and he was probably about to die. You even have to sign a waiver before you start. I wouldn't recommend this place really because the service was TERRIBLE and the food wasn't very good either. It was super authentic Japanese food. It didn't even look like American food when they brought it out, like the noodles in the lo-mein looked weird! Oh and if you win the challenge, you get your picture taken and hung on the wall, and a t-shirt. Lame prize!

Snow Boots or Torture Boots?

Sophie has been getting bloody paws when she plays in the snow. We're not exactly sure what's causing it but we decided to get her some boots. She HATES them. It's almost like as soon as they go on, her spirit gets sucked right out of her! She won't even move and then as soon as they come off, she acts like she wants to tear them to shreds in 2 seconds! However, it is completely hilarious to watch her walk in them because she looks like she's trying to walk for the first time! Here is a picture of her wearing them for the first time, it took some coaxing to get her to stand up. I tried to upload a video but blogger is too slow.

Happy New Year!

I feel like New Year's Eve is never as fun as it should be... I mean.. what is there to even do? My sister's both couldn't come because they were sick but we still had fun playing games, blowing horns, and eating lots of really yummy food with my parents, DeAnn, Emily & Brandon! Oh and Sophie..

I guess we can call this our New Year's Resolution.... running to get into shape! By the way, it was about 8 degree's outside when we ran. WAY cold!

Sophie didn't know what to think of the blow horns.. haha!

Food Deyhdrator

We got a food dehydrator for Christmas and tried it out. My favorite was the apple/banana fruit leather. Homemade fruit leather is delicious! A few days ago, Spencer made beef jerky which tasted pretty good, and anything dehydrated right from your home is super healthy for you. I also love dried banana's.. those were gone within 2 days! Yeah I know this isn't a food dehydrator below, but I made hot chocolate the same night too!

And.. wah la! Only 4 more hours until it's done.
