Cutest dogs ever

I just had to post this picture of my boys. Aren't they sweet? If only looks equaled personality. This was taken after Duff chewed my new pillow and a corner of the carpet. He does love to chew.

New fence

The new fence is in! The last remaining eye sore (well, almost, we still have the hideous green porch light) is gone. Here are some pictures of the new beauty! It's much taller, so no more peeking in from the neighbors. We also extended it down the side yard and got rid of the ugly wrought iron gates (shown first for reference)!

New dining room table

Here are some pictures of our new dining room table. We are still missing 2 chairs (on special order), but I couldn't stand to wait. Thanks a million to my mom and dad for this awesome birthday present (for me and Rick).

Memory Lane Tag

Memory Lane.... the tag that gets everyone involved. Got this from a friend and I thought I would play the game. Here's how you play: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and i had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember. 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory of you. it's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you!

Awesome birthday present, awesome husband

Well, not that you all don't already know how awesome Rick is, but.... He went to great lengths to get me a really wonderful, thoughtful, and beautifully spectacular birthday present for the big 3-0. We have always shared an enjoyment of good nature photography and buying a nice piece for our house was always on the "someday" list. Well, I got one for my birthday! It is from a gallery in Big Bear that we browsed with my parents a few months ago while they were visiting. Rick enslisted the help of his parents to pick it up for us. Here it is!

30th Birthday Celebration

Well, we celebrated my birthday a bit early this year. Sorry there are no pictures, we kind of forgot that part!

We had a nice little get-together at our house on Saturday -- mexican food, margaritas, cake, and Wii! The food was great, but we had way too much! I forced leftovers on everyone who was willing to take them. Wii is so much fun, so thanks to the Frazees for bringing it over.

Thanks to everyone who came!
