Dog vs Water

Hurley is at such a fun stage right now. He is so curious and loves to get into everything! We were washing cars the other day and had the hose out and he started attacking the water. We got a video of it but I feel so bad because he actually gets so close to the water that he sometime starts choking..but we don't let it get that bad don't call the SPCA on us! Shawn had some time off on Tuesday and took him over to his aunt Theresa's house with his cousin Kirk and their dog Stat. Shawn said he couldn't wait to get out of the pool! Oh well...with this hundred degree weather we're having...i'm sure he'll get over it eventually!





We love our little dog so much! I watched Marley and Me the other day and it was so cute! Really made me think about our little dog and how he isn't just a dog to us...he really is part of the family. ( I know, so sad!)

This Weekend

So this weekend was pretty much FABULOUS!!

Started out with this dying...

And then doing this...

And now we're going to be driving this...

Because we sold this 2 weeks ago.


And we don't want to buy one of these...

Because we don't want one of these...

While Shawn is in this...

And to make it all better I spent Mother's Day with my Mom here...

Because she thought she had this..

I love you Mom. You make me laugh. I love spending time with you...even if it is in the ER watching a crazy guy take his shirt off and belching so loud that everyone can hear it. Thank you for letting us drive the Van...even if it does make us look like we have a million kids. And i'm glad that you don't have hog flu.

Spring has Sprung!

My last blog was kind of negative...and mean...haha...so yes i'm not pregnant! Sorry, I couldn't resist. So life has still been kind of boring but I am LOVING the summer weather here! Today I almost had to turn the air conditioning on but I told Shawn we could only use fans! It's only April for heavens sake but it's like 90 degrees!! Shawn had a fire training a couple of weeks ago and has some pictures from it.



He is going to be the best man in his friends wedding in May. I am done with school the end of May and will start summer school right after our trip to Utah! We are heading out there the middle of June (hopefully everything works out!) We just started a biggest loser thing with our friends Adam and Breanna. It's been hard starting off but hopefully at the end of it we will all be thinner, and in better shape!! Hurley is doing well, loving the nice weather too! Shawn and I were looking through pictures and I can't believe how big he has gotten!

We love our little baby.....even when he's a brat!

Ugh

I'll probably erase this after i'm all done but in the event that I don't....you have been warned...this is going to be a LONG post. So I'm feeling very ugh. Yes, I know that's not a word...it's a sound...ugh. I'm procrasting homework that should have been done days ago. School schedule for Summer and Fall just got posted and i'm feeling a bit...overwhelmed. Not overwhelmed by what i'm actually doing but overwhelmed by what could be. (Shawn gets mad at me for this, "it hasn't even happened yet and you're stressing over it..." Yes I know!) Shawn is doing so well in school and I am so proud of him and I can't help but feel that i'm just kind of here. I mean i'm working and taking a couple of classes but I still have yet to decide what it is that I really want to do. I thought I had made my "career" decision and now i'm kind of questioning it. I feel like my situation is kind of difficult because the career Shawn is going into is kind of...everywhere...in an organized kind of way. I mean the guy is going to be gone for a couple of days, home a couple of days and then gone again. He isn't going to be working a 9-5. So if we ever plan on seeing each other and maybe one day having kids and actually being able to see them and not send them to a babysitter's everyday, I kind of need a job that I can work around...everywhere. My job now is fine and I like the 8-5, M-F thing but seriously...I don't think I can do this forever. So my current dilemma is I have 2 career choices...2 very good choices in my opinion...I just can't choose between them. They both require a LOT of time, time that I just don't have with working right now. So I guess for now I will just stew over the fact that I have absolutley no control...anyone that knows me, knows that I am super control freak...so this whole no control thing does not work out well for me. But I will try and hope that I can figure all of it out...or not...haha...pretty much I don't know anything. Nuf said.


And to add on to all of that...



Happy April Fools Day.

Garrards visit Part 2

So, since I am posting we obviously got our new computer...let's just say i'm still adjusting. While it is new that also means that I have to learn how everything on it works and all of that fun stuff.
Well here are the second part of the Garrards visit. The second day they were here (Friday) we went golfing up at Golfland/Sunsplash and then headed out to Wilton to see Shawn at the fire station. All in all it was tons of fun and Joey even cried when we left the station. It was so fun to see Shawn at work and really get an idea of what he does. I don't know how they keep it all straight..there is so much they have to know...but somehow they do it! I just love watching him because you can see how much he loves what he does and why he is working so hard in Paramedic School! So the pictures are all out of order so i'm not putting descriptions or anything under them. I miss them so much and hope it's not too long until we see them again!

DEAD

So you know that wonderful blog that I was promising in a couple of days...well it ain't gonna happen for a while...our computer is DEAD. Yep...dead. Our friend Bill looked at it and said he never saw a computer crash this bad...seriously. Yep...seriously. So all of you will just have to wait until we get out new, pretty, expensive computer. Did I mention expensive? Yeah, I guess computers aren't cheap. Oh well....look at the brightside....we get a fun, NEW computer. So stay tuned for a new blog...hopefully within the next couple of days. I never realized how much I LOVE computers!!!

Garrard's come to visit

My cousin Julie, her husband John and kids Jace, Jakeb, Jaeli and Joey came to visit us this past weekend. It was so fun to finally see all of her kids! They are adorable and I seriously hope that my kids are just as awesome as they are! On Thursday we went down to the Capitol and had dinner at Joe's Crab Shack.

On Saturday we all went to Six Flags. It was such a blast! Everytime I have gone to Six Flags there has always been a HUGE line....well not Saturday! We went on ride after ride! It was awesome! The longest we waited in line was 15 minutes...seriously? That never happens!

The only picture I have is of the Garrard family with Medusa in the background!


On Thursday it's Jaeli's birthday so we decided to have a little celebration before they went back to Idaho. She loves Hello Kitty so we decided to throw her a little Hello Kitty Party!

All of the girls minus my mom

Jaeli is into dance and is actually going to be doing a solo soon. It was so cute I made her do it twice!

We also got to go to the Fire Station to see Shawn. We got tons of pictures there...none of which I have at the moment so expect another post within the next couple of days!
And in Lemon News Shawn is halfway done with Paramedic School! YAY! He is done with the classroom portion in July and then starts his hospital and ambulance work. I am so proud of him!!
