Lexus' New Toy

So when Mike came home from the gym this morning he woke me up and wanted me to look at what he got for Lexus. So I turn over to see him holding this HUGE bone and he is grinning from ear to ear, he thought it was the coolest thing. Lexus has not let it out of her sight all morning, how can she! She carries it around the best she can without bumping into things, and she keeps walking into rooms and getting stuck in the doorway cuz the bone wont fit! So I took a video so you can see for yourself how intense it is.

A Fun Fourth

So can I just say we threw the BEST fourth of July bash ever! Cassie, Whitney, and I make such yummy food and spent all day preparing for the guys to come home. Then we were off to downtown Austin to watch fireworks, it was amazing! First of all we got a great spot on the grass right in front of all the News vans and on a hill so no one was in our way, and while the guys were off getting us funnel cakes, Channel 8 News came up to us and asked us all to do a promotional clip. So if anyone is ever in Texas, make sure you watch for us on News 8 Austin! We played Taboo and Mafia while we ate our delicious food and waited for the fireworks to start. Then the Austin Orchestra started playing in the background as the fireworks show started, they were going off just to the left of the city. It was really nice and we all had a great time!

Baby Jayms

I've missed baby Jayms ever since we moved and mean Jenny keeps sending heartbreaking video messages of him blowing kisses which doesn't help my withdraws. So I look at pictures of him, since I have millions, to hold me over until Cassie and I go back for a visit. I'm so excited to be able to spend time with him, and we'll be spending a lot of time with him since Jenny will have just had the new baby! I can't wait, 37 days and counting!! Here are some of the pictures that help me cope.

A Day In San Antonio

Claire's friend Courtney came to Texas to visit her and Jana so all the girls went down to San Antonio to check out The Riverwalk. It was a lot of fun but so so so hot! First we went to The Alamo, well so we thought. We walked around and took pictures on benches and in front of some flags, but apparently it wasn't The Alamo. So if anyone doesn't know, The Alamo is a fort. I don't have any pictures but I will, we're probably going back at least two more times when my mom comes and again when Whitney visits. So after that we headed to The Riverwalk and ate lunch, then hopped on a river taxi and toured the river. It took us all around The Walk and we got to see the town, it's really cool I can't wait to go back!


Here is a pic of part of The Riverwalk from the taxi. The city is literally right up to the river!



This is Rivercity Mall. The front is right up to the river.



This is The Friendship Torch



Jana really likes me......she'll be mad that I posted this!

Snuggle Buddies

So Veronica and Lexus play a lot, even though it usually consists of Lexus biting Veronica's legs and tail, and Veronica telling on her. Veronica has been afraid of dogs since she was a puppy, yes, a dog afraid of dogs, just accept it. Anyway, Lexus didn't make it any easier, Veronica is mostly afraid of little dogs and puppies, so when Lexus came along Veronica was not having it! She would run away with her tail between her legs and hide upstairs until we left with her worst nightmare. Since living in Texas together, Veronica has learned to adapt and put up with Lexus' constant need to play. What a good sport! But despite the constant taunting and immature, puppy-like behavior that Veronica has to put up with, she still accepts the fact that they can be friends.

It's Official!.......Finally

Ok it was actually official a few weeks ago...so I'm a little late on my postings! Mike and I are finally homeowners as of April 17th! We bought a house in Hemet California and we love it! It's never been lived in so it still has that new house smell, I love it! I'm so excited to make it our own and paint and decorate. Mike is already drawing up plans to landscape the backyard (we're not planning on that happening for long time). Anyway, we're loving it, well at least for about a week and a half. Mike left for Texas for summer sales last week and I'm meeting him there in a few weeks. So we buy a house and then leave for the summer, kinda weird but it's working out great. Well I'll be sure to post again soon, there's a lot going on just not enough time to blog it!

Three Days and Counting!!

My best friend Tyler is coming home from his mission in three days!! He's been gone for two whole years and I'm soo excited and anxious to see him!
