Eat less move more!

Here lately I have been trying to eat healthier and have been telling myself I was going to start exercising. well......Huck gave me the motivation I needed to start doing just that! For the past month I've noticed him chewing things that he is not supposed to. For example, the window frame in the game room, the firewood outside, soap he found in Beau's bathroom....the list could go on. On Thursday night i fell asleep with our bedroom door opened (usually it is closed and the dogs sleep under the bed). At some point during the night/morning Huck decided it would be fun to rip up the hallway carpet connecting beau's room and the guestroom. I looked up causes of this destructive behavior and what I found is that he must be bored. He is a working breed and not meant to be in the house 14+ hrs a day. He needs vigorous exercise. So Ryan and I took both dogs on quite a long walk. Hopefully we are able to keep this a habit. The dogs seem pretty worn out....yay!!!!!

Dog Mom

Since the last post my poor baby Huck has been so sick. At times I thought he was getting better, (with the help of pepto, rice and yogurt) but at midnight this morning I was faced with the disgusting reality that he was not well. I cannot remember waking up to such a foul odor or sound in my entire life. Like I said at midnight I heard a nasty squirting followed by the most terrible smell known to man. I immediately got out of bed and turned on the lights, and of course Ryan slept through it all. I let the dogs outside and began cleaning. The smell just lingered, so I had to open our bedroom window. Ryan then wakes up and tells me, "You know it's going to get hot in here." Ok so you'd rather smell dog poop???? I got the dogs back inside and got ready for bed again. I left our bedroom door open to try and create a breeze. Of course at this point I'm wide awake. It took 1 1/2 hr to fall back to sleep. When Ryan and I woke up to go to work, we found that Huck got sick again.....this time in the hallway. So now instead of going to work I'm sitting here waiting for a 3pm vet appointment. Dogs are supposed to be easier than babies......right now changing diapers sounds alot more appealing than scrubbing poopy carpet...........what are moms for right?????

River Trip!!!!!!

Just got back from a great weekend at the Guadalupe river! We rented a nice little house in Canyon lake and the two of us with a few of our close friends celebrated our upcoming wedding! Taking a trip these days seems so much more stressful than before. Not only do I have myself and Ryan to pack, we have Gracie and Huck that have to be taken to the kennel.  One problem....Gracie was a bad girl last time and bit 3 other dogs. So now Huck goes to the kennel and Gracie went to her Papa's house and played with the girls! Once we got on the road and the dogs to their designated locations my stress was relieved! We were the first ones to arrive at the house, so we went grocery shopping for everyone. Dinner that night we decided to have hamburgers but we for got any seasoning. FYI picante sauce mixed with hamburger meat makes for some yummy burgers!!!! Saturday we floated the river then ended the night at River Road Ice House for an old school Pat Green concert! This by far was the highlight of our trip!!!!  Sunday morning my wonderful husband to be woke up and made some awesome breakfast tacos for everyone.....gotta love a man that cooks! After cleaning all the dishes and packing up, we all parted ways....Ryan headed to Round Rock for the fire fighter olympics and the rest of us headed home. When Blair dropped Beau and I off we had to leave right away to get the dogs from tomball. Gracie had a great stay at my dad's, Kimber was a life saver in offering to watch her! Huck caught a stomach bug and has been throwing up and having diarrhea since we picked him up....poor baby :( Things are so much easier with Ryan here..... It kinda stinks that all of his days off I either have to share him with everyone or in the case of these fire fighter olympics, not see him at all :(  I can't wait for our honeymoon...I'll have a whole week with him......just the two of us!

Happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! Ryan picked up over time, so once again I spent the holiday without him :( I do get the pleasure of seeing him though! I'm on laundry duty.....taking him uniforms for the next 48hrs. I pray that everyone on and around  Lake Conroe uses  some common sense so that Ryan has a safe uneventful night. I try not to worry about him so much, but movies like ladder 49 doesn't help any. Well I guess that's it for tonight. Here is a picture just for yall's viewing pleasure!!!!!!

Thank the lord for small blessings

Today, with the exception of Ryan being at work, was a great day! Went out on the boat with My mom, mike, tracy and the kiddos! After getting a work out pushing the boat off the island, then doctoring my mom's newly injured, freshly healed post-op foot (she kicked the cooler), we went back to nana's and I got to see some more of my family! The weather started getting nasty so I decided to come home and wait for Ryan to get home. For some reason when i got home I parked behind Beau instead of my usual parking spot........Thank the lord I did. This is what happened less than an hr afterwards.

Our Adventure with Hope!

For those of you who do not know, I have 2 little sisters, Hope is 3 and Faith is 16 months. On Wed. morning I picked Hope up then Ryan and I took her swimming! She went from being scared not wanting to get off of the steps to dare devil jumping in with a swim ring around her waist! On Thursday we decide to take her to Sam's Boat on the Lake.....one problem, the little princess didn't want to wear anything she had in her overnight bag! So Ryan tells her we will go shopping then procedes in putting shorts and boots on her. We ended up at JcPenny's where Hope fell in love with this fluffy purple princess dress. We tried for a good 20min. to hide/ ditch this dress the whole time Hope is throwing the biggest fit known to man!!!! Needless to say the boots did not go with the dress. Not only did she get the dress, then we had to buy shoes to match lol On our way to Sam's boat I txted Kimber to tell her the story just to find out Hope has almost the same dress at home. I also was informed that it had been taken away from her recently because she pooped in her panties..............Ryan and I were tricked by a 3yr old :)

This is a first!

Thanks to my future Mother and Cousin in-law,I have now been introduced to blogging...yay! Since deleting my facebook, some of my family and friends have been out of the loop on mine and Ryan's life! So here it is:

Wedding planning is in full force! We have been receiving several RSVPs, if you haven't sent yours, please do so asap! We were asked to report the final number attending to the wedding facility by July 27th. As some of you know, our photographer cancelled on us an hour before we were supposed to meet for the engagement session. We then asked for our money back. Long story short, she refused to reimburse us the $675 so now,with the help of my Step Dad, we are filing in small claims court Monday. On a brighter note, Our good friend Chad saved the day and took our engagement pictures, and Ryan's Aunt Gracie has offered to take our wedding photos!
