CO - ED SOFTBALL SUMMER 2008

This summer I decided to try something new..........Softball. I have never played before, (except in elementary school) and I thought it would be a fun experience. One of my favorite patient's dad asked me to join his business co-ed league, Aqua Clear. It was so much fun!!!! I asked a couple of girls at work to play with me (so I wasn't the only 1st timer) and it worked out great. We did really well (for D League co ed). We should have taken the championship, but we ended up taking second place! It ended up being alright, because we got free t-shirts!!! It was fun playing a competitive sport, and meeting some really cool people (who are REALLY good at softball) ! Hopefully we will get to play again!!

The Lake

Summer time is meant to be spent on the lake at all times!! i wish!! Over Labor day we had my little brother and sister down. They brought their friends and we went out to Gunlock......not the prettiest lake, but it sure beats the bacteria and crowds of Sand Hallow! We had the best time!!

My Little Sis's Engagement

My little sister is getting married!!! Holy Cow! (that means I am getting older!!) We really love the guy she is marrying, his name is Marlin and he is a EMT for Hurricane city, and a really down to earth guy. He will definitely be a great addition to the family. They are getting married on November 1st and guess who is planning the wedding.....ME! I feel like I just got done doing my own wedding! Oh well, I think it will be really fun to plan! I just got done taking their engagement pictures, Megan Andersen :) let me borrow her camera!! I think that we got some really good shots!!!

OUR PUPPIES

I don't have any pictures up of our puppies posted yet! We have two miniature pintchers and they are our little babies!! We love them so much! We got Duke when we were dating prior to getting married, Duke had puppies and we kept one of them, Daisy. They are both Red / Brown. Daisy is definitely a mommas girl and Duke is definitely a daddies boy! Daisy is quite a bit smaller than Duke, we had to "take away Dukes manhood" recently, and I don't think he has forgiven us yet!! But he sure is a nicer dog now!!! Aren't they cute!!

FOUR CORNERS!

On our way to our family reunion at Laplotta Canyon near Durango, Colorado we got to stop at the four corners monument!! We have never been there and it was neat to be able to be in four places at the same time. You can tell we really dressed up for the occasion ugh??? It was such a long drive! We drove for seven hours, and camped there for 2 nights! Luckily we were able to make it back with a few inches of skin NOT covered in mesquito bites! It was pretty fun for a family reunion, this was Chases's first time meeting this side of the family, so I think it was a really good experience for him! My sister drove down with us.......and I should have many more pictures of her because I think she is getting engaged soon!!! I can not wait to help plan a wedding!!!

Our "Boring" 24th of July

Aren't some of the best days spent lazying around, with no set plans and absolutely nothing to do??? That was our 24th of July, we were so bored, but made the best of it! We relaxed, went to breakfast, went shopping (Yes, together!!) and went to the park, we sat under a tree in the shade, out of the heat and just talked. It was such a good day! Here are some of the pics from resting under the tree, neither of us even got ready for the day! (no makeup or hair done), we just kind of woke up and left the house. It was really good to just spend some quality time together! I think everyone needs those days!

The Perfect Uncle

Chase is seriously the perfect uncle. I have never seen a 24 year old male act so natural around kids. He was definetely meant for parenthood! (I wish I was too!) All his neices and nephew just adore him just as much as he adores them. Last night we visited Ashley and Jason (His sister and her husband) , Baby Hudson woke up crying and Chase went and got him from his crib, he rocked him and held him and decided it was his job to get him back to sleep, he was even searching his room for a teddy bear!! He gave him a bottle and entertained him until Ashley took over. He is amazing, I am seriously the luckiest wife in the entire world, he has an endearvering amount of patience and whole heartedly enjoys spending time with his neices and nephews. One day he will make the perfect father!
