HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!!

Happy 26th Birthday, Alex! Love you :)

Cheer/Dance tryouts and the new team

This past weekend we held tryouts for the spirit squad here at Eastern that I coach and it went great! The day went faster than I thought it would and very smooth. We got a great group of girls, all the vets tried out and made and we got a few newbees :) Really looking forward to this fall.

Trip to ABQ

For our friend Emily's birthday we went up to ABQ for the night/next day. It was fun to go out to dinner and we even got to take the pup :) Pet friendly hotels are great!

Emily and her fiance Matt, Matt works with AlexGabby enjoyed her very first trip to Starbucks :) she got a nice little cup of whip cream and LOVED it

hellos and goodbyes

This past week we said goodbye to the Cougar mobile :(

And hello to the Trailblazer!!! :)Woo hoo, lovin' my new ride! We decided we needed a little more space to haul things around such as the dog on trips, stuff from Lowe's (our favorite store haha), etc etc. We bought it from a friend's Dad who owns a dealership in Rawlins, WY and his mom drove it down here for us. So far, everything has been awesome and 2 trips from Lowe's later she can carry a good load. We will miss the Cougar mobile, she and I have been through a lot together...most of college, moving to Texas, trips to see Alex and moving to NM. Thanks Kris, Kev and Sue for everything :) Now all we need is a Cougar sticker to show up in the mail from the lovely Mirielle Morgan yay!!

I love baseball season

Baseball is my favorite sport to watch (some may think it's boring) with football and then basketball coming in after that. I have always loved watching it and going to Mariners games with my family. Now I "watch" sports for a living and it's the best thing ever! I love my job :)
Mr. Russell Campbell...throwin some heat

Senior Day for my Greyhounds :) Congrats boys

Backyard: Final Stage (for now haha)

FINALLY!!! WE HAVE GRASS!!!! We're so glad that we finally have a yard to enjoy and entertain in. Also happy that Gabby has a nice place to play now. Not that she didn't love the dirt land it was before but now she doesn't have mom (aka me) trying the clean her up everytime she comes inside. The house will be A LOT cleaner :) YAY!! Below are a few pictures of the finished product. Alex also got out the patio furniture his parents bought us at a house warming gift. They were nice to sit in and admire our beautiful yard on a nice Easter Sunday afternoon.

eventually will have trees like the other side

steps to the patio

Gabby is enjoying her new yard already. exploring and lounging in the grass :)

Backyard: Stage 3

We now have rocks in the flower beds and perimeter of the yard. Things are shaping up nicely and now we're anxious for grass and to finally have a yard for us, friends and the dog to enjoy.

Lookin' good! Now we're waiting on GRASS!!! The legal kind hahaha

Backyard: Stage 2

A couple weeks ago they finished leveling out the yard and getting it prepped for rock (outside the brick) and sod (inside the brick). We're getting anxious for it all to be done...They also finished a couple projects we started MONTHS ago (see below):
