Ringo? RINGO? Where are you?!

So today I was outside moving the sprinkler around and I left the back door open with the screen door shut. I came back in the front door and shut the back door. I got on my computer, Josh sat down to play Halo and asked "Where's my boy?" usually Ringo will come running, he loves to sit on the couch with us. He didn't come and I just thought he was asleep somewhere and didn't hear Josh. Well 20-30 minutes later, Josh asked again "Where's Ringo?" No Ringo! So I ran out the front door thinking we would find him dead in the middle of the street or not find him at all. Well he came running at me from the neighbors' back porch! He was panting and dirty. Now, when Ringo was a puppy, we used to live in Wellsville on a farm and we would let him out to see if he would stay with us. He would for a minute and then he would take off up the road as fast as his spotted legs could take him. We would have to get in the car and drive to him and he would get in the car. So I was surprised to see that he didn't run anywhere. I think he chased one of the neighborhood cats though. He's got a scratch on his nose. So Josh and I thought we would get his ball and play fetch with him for a while since he was being so good and not running. He was exhausted so he only caught the ball twice and then rolled and laid in the shade. Our street has a big ditch that water runs down all summer and there is a little canal by the side of our house that it runs into, not sure why, but it was all muddy and that is where he goes to lay down!! We thought he was going into a seizure because he was acting weird and couldn't get comfortable trying to lay down in the water and mud, he does have epilepsy and has had 2 seizures in the last 9 months that we know of. But he was fine, just hot and thirsty. We had to spray him off before he came in the house, he was not happy about that! I'm so glad he didn't run anywhere and is okay!!

Leave a Memory

Here are the Directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you have had with me or Josh or both of us. It doesn't matter if you knew me (us) a little or a lot, just anything you remember.
2.Next, post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory about us, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.:) If you don't want to play on your blog or you don' t have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.
Have Fun!!

Jaimee, here is that video!

Bear Lake

Today after I got off work, we went and met my mom and dad and Jade and Brittiney over in Bear Lake. It was a lot of fun even though the water wasn't too warm. We floated out a long ways on the loungers and you can touch forever out in that lake and it's all sand...not the gross sea weed. We had a little picnic and swam then came home. It was a short trip but so fun!

Sunday, Sunday, What a Fun Day!!

This day all started early this morning when we went to my mom and dad's for breakfast. My little sister and her fiance came home from Twin Falls for the weekend. She doesn't come home that often and when she does we still don't get to spend much time together. I love her and wish we could see each other more often. Breakfast was good and was fun to be with my family. My brother and s-i-l found out what they are having last week and the Dr. said it's a...BOY!! They have a name picked out and they are so excited! She is due around the end of October. I finally got to feel my little nephew lightly kick my hand!! It was awesome!Chelsie & Bryan

After we left my mom and dad's, we were on our way to SLC to go to our nephew, Tycen's 1st Birthday party. It was really good to see him. We don't get to see him very often and he is getting so big! It was crazy with all the kids running around but was a good time!
Josh was so tired so I drove down to SLC and I couldn't resist taking this picture of him sleeping. (and don't tell anyone but I was driving, going 75 mph on the freeway!)
Cute baby Tycen

Tycen and his daddy, Josh's brother, Shane

Such a cute baby boy!Tycen and his mom, Kindred
Tycen wasn't so sure about eating his cake so Shane had to help him.

After we got done at the party we went to Shannon and Arnold's to hang out with them and play with the kids. We had so much fun playing baseball and the Wii. These kids are so close to my heart! I love them so much! I love Shannon and Arnold so much also. They are like my older brother and sister!
DJ is a pretty good little baseball player! Watch this video of him (turn my music off first)! Remember, he is 3!!

On our way up to Shannon's, we say this big, white building up on the side of the mountain and decided to drive up there to see what it was. Here is what we saw up in the hills of Draper...

The new Draper Temple. It was so pretty!!
Thanks to all those who actually read this novel of a post. You're great friends...and to those who didn't, you should be ashamed of yourselves for having something better to do than read this!!:)

Happy Birthday America!!

Happy 4th of July everyone!! I love this holiday, it's one of my favorites. I love that I am American and living in this country and the freedom that we have here.

Last night, my parents came over to our house to have a little BBQ before we went to the Logan fireworks. We've found this spot on the side of the road in North Logan where put up our camping chairs to watch the fireworks. Josh got bit by some mosquitoes...did not make him happy!! The fireworks were good.

This is the best one I got of Josh and I. The flash was so bright and we were trying to keep our eyes open.

My Mom and Dad

Then we went to my brother and sis-in-laws to light more fireworks. Josh and I got stuck in the stadium traffic and it took us like 30 minutes to got like 12 blocks!! We were so irritated!
The fireworks that Jade bought came with these awesome glasses.

Fireworks just aren't what they used to be when I was a kid. I always loved the sparklers and the ones that came in the box Jade bought were so sucky!! They didn't stay lit for more than 2 seconds!! And all the others didn't last very long either and just made smoke. It was still fun to be with my family though!!

Hike to the Wind Caves

On Sunday night we went for a hike with Cody, Tara, Atticus and Athena to the Wind Caves. This was our first time being up there and it was so pretty plus it was a good workout!
No, Josh and Cody are NOT holding hands, although it looks like it!:)
