Still here

Yes we are still alive. We have been super busy with work and every weekend we have been hunting. Deer season has closed now(no we didn't get anything) so maybe this weekend I will get up a real post. Other than that everything is the same.

Lola Loves......

Sorry it has been awhile, everything is pretty much the same. Our grass is looking fabulous. I really can't wait till next year, it will look even better. We are getting ready for hunting season, so hopefully in a couple of weeks we will have some good pictures for you. Since we don't really have anything new to post I thought I would do a post about the things Lola loves. We have had her for 7 months now and it has been so much fun. She is our baby and we love her although sometimes she is a big pain in the butt. It amazes me how smart she is (for those of you who don't know she is litter box trained). She also has a big attitude, when she is mad at you she will go in her cage and pout. Anyway here is a post about all the things Lola loves (most of the pictures are a couple months old, she is a little bigger and fatter now).
Lola loves newspaper, when I say she loves it I mean she LOVES it. She likes to pull out from under the coffee table. She likes to crawl under it and get a hold of it with her mouth and run around, but most of all she likes to rip it and eat it. I checked it is okay for her to eat it. We keep them stocked under the coffee table and she knows which ones are hers. Lola loves her litter box and she loves to go play outside. We have a baby gate on our deck so she can't get off and she loves to go out there and run around. When she wants to come back in she sits at the window and gives the door a little scratch. Lola loves to run really fast and jump up in the air. She doesn't do it as much as she did when she was little (maybe she is to fat) but she still does sometimes and it makes me laugh. Sometimes she likes to get up on the big chair with us, but not very often. She really loves her cousins. Most of all Lola loves me, she will even give me kisses ( she'll put her nose right on mine). We love Lola and we have really enjoyed having her.

Green Fuzz

There are many different types of green fuzz. There is anything from the green fuzz you get on your food when you don't eat it fast enough, to a fuzzy green Muppet named Oscar (he was green right?). I am so excited about my green fuzz. I have been waiting for a long time and it's finally here. Yes, my green fuzz is grass! We finally got it planted a little over a week ago. It is just starting to come in, so that is why I call it green fuzz. Unless you lay down you can't see individual grass blades, there is just this coating of green fuzz. Don't worry though it is going to grow fast from here on out. By next summer I will have a beautiful yard. I took some pictures, I hope the green fuzz shows up. I promise it is really there, actually I took these pictures about 3 days ago and I can't believe how much it has grown. It has practically doubled.

Flowerholic!

I have had this post that I have been wanting to put up all summer. I finally have a few minutes ad nothing else to post about, Yeah!! This spring I loaded up in my car and set out to buy some flowers. I do this every spring, it is one of my favorite things. I went from shop to shop getting some of these and some of those. As I was driving away from the last store I glanced in my rear view and realized I had a problem. There was no room for another human in my Tahoe. The seats were covered with pots, the floor boards with bags of potting soil, and in the back was a carpet of bright colors. Then I called my husband and told him I had an addiction and needed some help. I am FLOWERHOLIC!!! I had totally blown my budget and dipped into my secret cash stash(that really is not a secret). I didn't care I love flowers. All summer I have been taking pictures so I could do this post. So here are most of my flowers. From pansies to petunias Daisy and Dahlias. Purples, pinks, reds, and blues. Yellow and orange ones too. Little ones and big ones. Short ones and tall ones. Some kind of off the wall ones. I don't care they all make me smile. If you like you can come and sit for awhile. P.S.- just a little side note, my roses look even better now that they have had all summer. Also I don't have any pictures of all my early spring flowers like my Iris and my tulips. Right now my Gladiolas and my orange Dahlias look amazing but I don't have pictures of those either.

Farewell

This last week was Cody's mission farewell. All of my sisters were in town, and some of their husbands even made it. On Saturday we had a big birthday/farewell party for Cody. Sunday he talked and all of us girls sang. All of the other days we just had family time. I love my family. When we get together we are goofy, but we have so much fun. I also love my nieces and nephews, they say and do the funniest things. Somehow through all the fun family time and the preparing a missionary for the MTC I never took 1 picture. So if you would really like to see pictures and feel like you were part of the fun, feel free to check mom's blog or Cali and Travis'. Cami's has some really good pictures too if you are allowed on there. Other than that Kelly and I have been super busy this month of August. We work all week and between rodeos, farewells, weddings, and more rodeos we have had something going every weekend. One of these days I will get up a real post. Until then I hope you are all having as much fun as we are, and I love you!

A day with munchkin

I got to spend the day with Gideon yesterday. We had so much fun. He helped me run lots of errands then he helped me clean the house. After that we went to my inlaws and saw the puppies and the kitties. While we were there we popped into the garden to get some fresh veggies. My mother inlaw always has the best garden with tons of stuff. After that it was time to go home and see how Cali was doing.

My blog awards

I chose the three biggest fashion statements. The 2nd runner up was a tie, but they made the same statement. It goes to Odi and Preston for sticking things to your face. The 1st runner up goes to dad for the ever famous look that we have all seen many times through our childhood. The winner of the best fashion statement is Shiloh! Sorry Shi but I couldn't help it. The white socks and shoes with the black outfit is just interesting(really I could search the blogs and find us all making a fashion statement at one point in time). I tag Hillary, love you all.
