Catching up again....we will start with Christmas 08

I know I never blog...I just got back from Hawaii and was loading pics and saw that I have a few pics I took to blog and NEVER DID IT...imagine that!! At the time I didn't realize but I was looking through and I am totally proud of my christmas tree!!!

Christmas was awesome this year...everyone come home!!! We even had Adrian's mom come and stay the week before. He made her a lobster dinner that was OH SO GOOD!
It was great to have his mom here. Adrian was on his best behavior to show off for his mom..i felt like we were dating again..it was a blast. He cooked and cleaned..I think she should come more often :)

WE GOT COUCHES!!!

FINALLY!!! We have been in our house for over a year now and we just finally got new couches...as good as the random ones we scrounged up were....i am so excited....my house is finally coming along and is almost a home...few things are cooler!! I know it is silly to be so excited...but we have been stalking these couches for months hoping no one would buy them...they went on sale...we got an amazing deal..now if i could just keep my pets away from them ;)

HAlloween with the Kids!

Nace came up and we went to pick pumpkins!!! I think I was mored excited than the kids.. I LOVE FALL! Even Dad had fun..regardless of what he claims..



Apparently you can tell who usually takes the pics...i was there I promise :)

I am a horrible Blogger...But i thought an update couldn't hurt :)

This Summer we have done nothing but complained about out yard and that we have not yet done it. Of course we could have actually gotten up and worked but why when you have friends with big toys...My boss got sick of hearing about it...in 2 hours he completely leveled my yard weeds and all (a hole for the pond included) with his big red tractor..and i think he even had fun doing it!! I love my BOSS!

Not that now it is done by any means....but ready for sod and I didn't have to weed at all. Now here is what he have been doing instead of our yard work... and let me tell you what! Dad's new Rzor is Stellar!!! They are way cooler than traditional 4-wheelers. Everyone should have one...

Paintballing :)

Being from Idaho one would think I have done this before....not so true! Last night our office and a bunch of friends got together and shot each other with paint. Apparently they say that this is a riot. So of course...not willing to be the wanny of the group I went along. AND HOLY COW WAS IT FUN!!!! I dont know what it is about it..the violence...the stress relief..attacking people that dont even know you are there...but whatever it is....I can see why so many people do it. (I will say I had Adrian on my team the whole time...I am not sure I am okay with him shooting me...so he was smart enough to be on my side :P). Anywho....I was totally stoked and shooting people is wicked fun/SCARY. Have a good one...I am going to walk my dog.

I know I said I was going to become a Blogging Machine...but i have no kids to talk about ....

Howdy!!! I am back and running in the blogging scene. Maybe it is the summer...but it makes me want to be social. So, HELLO all. Lately I have been constantly watching the ads hoping for some stellar home improvement /decorating /landscaping /anything and everything else deals. I want it all and I want it all now...This new house is a great test in budgeting and patience. I will be happy if we get as far as grass this year much less trees and flowers. I sure do LOVE having a house though...few things have been more fun/scary/exciting/and MINE! Something about having a house with the one you love just rings PERFECT! well...perfectish...i could use $$ to put into the house but that goes back to the patience thing. Anywho...while all ya all are playing with kids and being mothers...I am debating where to put shrubs. I will take some pics and we can have a vote on where to put the flower beds!!!! Who wants to design my yard? Then we have a BBQ and put it together:) By the way..we bought a BBQ....best decision ever!! I love it. It makes home more like HOME. I love growing up!!! Best wishes and hope to hear from you!

Home Sweet Home!

Howdy, I have decided to try this blog thing. Thus, this post is done all by myself (Adrian has been doing it every time). This one happens to be my second first post...I guess you never push the back button when previewing the stinkin blog. Anywho..now that I am ready and on my way to blog expertise...WE ARE GOING TO CALI. These pics are what you see out of my mother-in-laws front window. So we decided to get out of the cold for a bit (even though it is spring...i forget how cold IF is) and suprise his mom for her 50th!


Between that and tri-tip (which i guess you can't get in IF) Adrian is completely excited. Besdies, he is trying to talk me into living in Fresno..he thinks views like this garden of eden will talk me into it. (and he just may be right..if not at least I get all these trips to "talk me into it"). HAHA. ANYONE WANT TO MOVE TO CALIFORNIA??!?! I will give you 2-3 years or so and we will talk you into it. love you all!!! michelle
