More of October!!

Happy Baby shower for VAL!! We had a party for her and had some SUPER yummy food!! and I took NO pictures!! yeah fire me!! Val made out with some super awesome stuff though!!

After the Baby shower it was off the the Halloween party. So for Halloween this year we were Adam and Eve.... yeah and we took NO PICTURES... We are lame for that. So for our costumes we bought some fig leaves garlin things and pinned them to our clothes! it was great! so cleaver Brandon! We had so much fun!! it was a DAY fun filled with parties!!

In other News I got a New job!! and I am super excited! It's in the hospital and on the med/surg floor!! I did my first day with half orientation and the other half I was on the floor and I LOVED IT!! It will be a bit longer in my commute as my other job was 5 min away. But the knowledge and experiences I will learn there will be worth it! I love the staff and the facility!! I am just super excited about it all! Here is some picture of my trip to Willcox The GIANT GRASSHOPPERS!! yeah this thing was the size of a pickle!!

Another exciting even that happened Is Brandon has started the Academy!! He LOVES IT!! but It just stinks with the location and the times he is gone! :( but so one day he forgot a very certain item that he NEEDED so we got to meet up in the glorious Benson... you may ask where is Benson.. I'm not really sure some where between "The Thing" and Vail... yeah AKA middle of nowhere!! So we ate at the happening place of Denny's next to a Super 8.... needless to say it was a good excuse to see each other again!

And because I'm a crazy dog lady. . . And my dog is a pansy... She loves wearing it by the way!

October Happenings!!

So this is just some of October... because as you know October is not yet Over!! but I am up and am wanting to document some fun things we've been up too. . .

We went Camping with a bunch of couples/friends that we don't see so much any more SO we had a blast spending time with them and FREEZING!! We went up on the Mount Graham and it was gorgeous!! we took our Keisha pup and she loved Every second of it!! We went to the lake up there and it was so pretty!!

And here the is lamest picture of out neighborhood party!! Well not so lame but I could have documented it better... So here is what we did!! We handed out flyer's to the neighbors telling them to come and bring a main, side, or dessert depending on what street they lived on, and then we had a pumpkin carving competition and ate yummy food!! We had a great turn out!! It was SO much fun getting to know our neighbors and having a good time with them!

Teresa's Baby Shower!!

I had such fun time doing this baby shower for her!! She is the sweetest person!! and I think she had a lot of fun!! Because I did! here are some pictures! I'm so sad I never got a pic of the two of us together, because my camera died!! ugh!! So here are some pictures!! I had my sister Denise help me and she taught me how to make the Oreo truffles!!
(WAY too YUMMY and WAY too easy to make!)

Okay So after this baby shower I'm slightly obsessed with Minnie cupcakes!!

The Yummy food!!! Thanks You Thank you everybody that helped!
And here is the whole table!



And the Cute Mommy to be!! Thanks so much for letting me do this party!! I had so much fun!!

Sometimes I get bored....

And yeah do a photo shoot of my dog...

So I may have been called "the crazy dog lady" but to my defense I only do this in the confines of my own home and I only have ONE dog!

so I'm not "the crazy dog lady" until I have 20 little crazy dogs running around me and stinking up my house! (oh please if I start heading that way please friends, family intervene ASAP!) But here is my baby, Keisha pup!

Yes I did teach her to sit, stay, and lay partially so I can make her pose, and take pictures of her!


I mean look at those Ears!!

And Check out that Lean action going on!!

Don't Judge If your dog was as cute/cooperative as this you would do the same... and It was Brandon that suggested that I have Keisha wear things around her collar one day while I was making fabric flowers! Thanks for the idea hubby!

We're BACK

We have internet again!! So I guess I don't

have any excuse on not blogging, be prepaired to here about

our crazy LIFE!!

Happy 1 YEAR Anniversary!

So I wrote this AWHILE ago... but our one year was in July..... so here's how we celebrated it!

So for our 1 year Brandon "kidnapped me" and took me to Scottsdale, but he didn't tell me where we were going till Miami! It was such a fun surprise and great break from studying for my state boards! This is us at Red Lobster! YUMMY!! We went like the week before our actual 1 year!

He took me to the Hyiatt in Scottsdale where we went to for our honey moon!! and we told them that and this is what they gave us!! woo hoo martinelli!!

This is the view from our balcony!

Wooo hoo swimming pools!!

Brandon a probably a little too excited about it all!

Oh our actual 1 year Anniversary I made a Red velvet cake! I don't know if I've told this story on here before but when we got married on our way back from our honey moon we were going to eat the top of our cake (instead of waiting 1 year we were going to wait 1 week) but when we were wondering where the top of the cake was we found out that it was devoured by all my family a couple of minutes after we left the reception. So I made a red velvet cake that said "We made it" on top!
Then I blindfolded Brandon and took him to "our spot" where he purposed to me, that was actually the last time we were out there. So we took some martinilli's and put the love sac in the back of the truck and enjoyed the view!

If you look hard you can see the Gila Valley Temple! the view up there is AMAZING! and it actually was kind of cold like super windy and we had to have a blanket.. this was super weird for the end of July!

Brandon with his crazy eyes!

Oh yeah and I got our most favorite thing! DQ extra large Ice water with EXTRA ice!! YUMMY!! Happy 1 year LOVER face!! can't believe one year went by so fast!

Keisha and the Cabin!!

Presenting our Keisha pup!!

She is the BEST dog EVER! well she's up there next to Buster. But yeah she's my baby!! She's part black lab and part German Shepard. Pretty much the part German is her EARS!! Yes she does have a cone head! but we love her Dumbo ears anyways! as you can see her "growing up pictures" her ears started down and then one day one ear popped up and then like two weeks later the other one did!

Ha ha and this is her "scarf", and no we do not have her wear it "out" it's pretty much a scrap of material that is super soft and she use to sleep with it and now it's her toy that we like to wrap her up in! But you can also tell her growth with how small it's gotten wrapped around her!

She's really a great dog! She shakes and stays and lays and is so spoiled, but I wouldn't have it any other way! she's my baby!! she's now like 8 months old!

She's about 5 months here:

and about 4 months here with her ears still down:

This is when we first got her in August:
I love that her eyes are blue when the light catches them instead of the scary red!

The first weekend in January we randomly decided to go to my parents cabin and invited our friends Dan and Val! sorry guys this was the only picture I got of both of you!! We had so much fun just relaxing and hanging out by the fire and playing in the snow!

Thanks guys for playing with us!

Check out how SKINNY my husband is!! yeah that's right he's lost

74 pounds!!

he's a skinny Minni!!

The snow was great and spending time with friends was even better!!
