Wedding Weekend

Ok so as most of you know my cousin Erin got married last weekend. If you follow the rest of my families posts you have probably seen a lot of pictures, but here are the ones that we took. It was a short trip, we flew out on Friday and flew back on Monday. Even though it was short we had fun and wished we could have stayed longer. It was so nice to see all of the family. I hadn't seen a lot of them in years, and Kelly had never met most of them. We stayed with Grandma Louise. Kelly really loved that she has a fishing pond in her backyard. Saturday morning we drove around and saw all of the places I lived. The only one I got a picture of was Carbon. No one lives there now so the cabin is run down. Saturday evening was the wedding and reception. It was beautiful and we had a great time. Sunday was a brunch and then we had a surprise party for Cami. Her birthday was on Monday but, we were all leaving that day so we celebrated it early. That was pretty much our weekend. We flew home bright and early Monday morning.

Branding

It's that time of year again. Here are some pictures from a couple weeks ago at the branding. The weather was supposed to be bad that day, but it turned out beautiful. Trent on Bo. Cody and Oaklee. Oh the fun we have.

Happy Easter

We just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter. We hope it was "Hoppin" with fun! (Sorry this post is late but I haven't been able to get the video to post.)

The end of an Era

For some of you this post is going to seem silly, but for those who are closest to me they will understand. I have a dear friend whose name is Bonnie. All though I have many friends Bonnie is one of my oldest friends. Even if we only see each other once every couple of years it is like we didn't skip a beat. About 10 or 12 years ago(i don't know to be exact) I went down to Texas and spent a few days with her. We were both still in high school and in her art class she had learned how to do silk screens on t-shirts. So Bonnie, my sister, and I gathered a couple of t-shirts and she made us each one. She had a thing for sumo wrestler so that is what she put on them. I don't know what it was about that shirt, but it was so comfy. I loved it, and wore it every where. I wore it so much that it literally started to fall apart at the seams. I did not worry I had taken home ec in school. So I got out some thread and sewed it back together. That work for a while but after I had sewn it so many times it wouldn't stay anymore. Then from the wear and the wash it started to fall apart every where. That didn't stop me though I just put a tank top underneath. It got so bad though I hated to wear it because I was scared to wash it. It might come out in threads. So finally I have decided it is the end of an era. I am officially retiring the sumo shirt. I know it is a sad day, but don't worry. I cut out the sumo guy and intend to attach him to another shirt. This is not the end it is only the beginning of a whole new sumo shirt journey.

Satement

I would like to make a statement. I don't want anyone to get there feelings hurt. This statement is not brought on by any one person or comment. It has been coming for awhile. I just post it because it is starting to get ridiculous. I can't hardly get through a conversation at work or wherever I may be without someone asking when we are going to start our family. For the record we started our family on July 21 2007. We have added to it a few times. Some of them just died or ran away. (That's why our new one has a cage.) Let me make this next part clear, WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE KIDS. It will happen when WE are ready. I promise to all of you when we know you will know. I just wanted to clear that up so no one has to ask again.

Lola

We decided on a name for the rabbit. We've named her Lola. It fits her very well. She is very sweet, but kind of has a spunky side. We have only had her 5 days but we love her. She is so cute & sweet & lovable.

Birthday!

So it's my birthday and I have to say it has been great. I am not a person of many wants, and I have the things I need, so when someone asks what to get me I tell them I don't care. When you truly don't care what you get and you just love the thought, you will get some of the coolest gifts. To start with one of my friends gave me some flowers and a bottle of Captain Morgan. I got some more flowers from my inlaws. They are beautiful lilies. The great part about them is that I can plant them and see them every year. While Cami was here visiting a month ago she bought me a bead for my Trollbead bracelet. For those of you who don't know a Trollbead bracelet is kind of like a charm bracelet. The beads are designed by artists. Some of them are glass but some are not. Every bead has a meaning and they are all handmade so no two beads are exactly alike. It is something fun that I enjoy. Cami bought me the bead called Caribbean. It is the dark blue one with the green spots. It is supposed to represent the blue water and the green scenery. She said every time I was cold I could look at it and think of warmer places and it would remind me of them. They also sent me a card that is a pickle. On the inside it says "I bet you didn't expect to get a paper pickle for your birthday." I have to be honest and say I did not expect that, but it is cool and now hangs on my fridge. Where else are you going to put a paper pickle? Skye and Cali also gave me a bead. It is the one called Treasure. You can't see it very well in the picture, but it is the one next to Caribbean. I love it because it is so detailed. It has little shells, starfish, and coral on it. Last but not least my husband gave me a great gift. As you all know my luck with dogs is not very good so instead we are going to try a bunny. I love her, she is so cute and snuggly, and she doesn't bark. I am having a hard time coming up with a name for her though. Skye suggested GiGi and Lola. I like both of them but I was also thinking of Daisy. Let me now what you guys think or if you come up with any good names. Over all I had a good birthday. I got flowers, jewelry, rum, a rabbit, and a paper pickle to top it all off. What else can a girl ask for?
