What we have been up to lately

So now that summer has arrived (it was 93 degrees F today) we have been outside a lot. Now only if the cottonwood tree would stop blooming and my allergies would go away for a bit I'd be good to go! (Seriously though these stupid trees need to go away.) We had some friends over last weekend for their boys 11th b-day. They wanted to go fishing for their birthday. So they came over and fished with some friends. They had so much fun!!

Here is the hubs with the G and G and a bass they caught
Of course from my last post you all know I've been laying out by the pool. Here is Phoebe chilling by the pool. A friend of mine, Steph and I got to lay out last week for a couple hours. Let me tell you it was great! I always enjoy laying out with friends. Talking, reading, and enjoying the beautiful weather. We picked up sandwiches for lunch and ate by the pool. It was a perfect afternoon and I look forward to many more soon!!!

L and I have been trying to walk the dogs more. Well really I am trying to lose some weight so I am trying to walk close to everyday along with Curves and Bikram. Hopefully I can kick these 20lbs! But L has been walking with me which is nice b/c I like being with him. So we have been taking the dogs with us. The other morning I took Bo (the boxer) on a walk through the neighborhood and he saw a squirrel and just about freaked out. He almost pulled me over trying to chase it! This dog CRACKS me up. Whenever deer are outside of our fence you can ask him Bo where are the deer and he RUNS to the fence and barks at them. So I don't know why is surprised me when he ran at the squirrel, but I'm pretty sure he scared me more than the squirrel!!

So we had a nice relaxing day. Laid our by the pool and ate lunch at a yummy restaurant. Looking forward to a nice weekend!

PS I don't know why the pictures are so small, but oh well!

Summer Time

So as most of you know I LOVE summer! I am totally a summer girl and I am so excited it is upon us! This past weekend was the first weekend we had people over to swim and cook out! It was so much fun. The weather is finally starting to warm up enough to lay out. I have yet to get in the pool, but I'm sure within the next week I will be!!

Filson loves the pool as much as I do!!

We have also had lots of critters arounds. First the dogs found a snake on the back porch at 5:20am as I was about to leave for work. Once the hubs let them out again it was gone. I HATE snakes! Seriously I could never see another one in my life and be just fine! Later that afternoon I saw a snake in the pond. As long as it's not in my yard, house or back porch I will be ok! =) Then we have these cute deer! There were twins born last year and they are both bucks. They have cute little antlers and have been hanging around our back yard the past couple of nights. They walk almost up to the fence. It is so fun! The dogs freak out! It's hilarious! Also today my mom and I were coming back from yoga and there was a mom and baby deer in our field. The baby was PRECIOUS!!! I mean so little and it's legs were wobbly. It was just adorable! I told the hubs I wanted one!! haha. The snakes can stay away for now I'll take the deer! =)

Speaking of yoga. I have been doing Bikram yoga for about 2 months now and I absolutely love it!! It's yoga in an 105 degree room, let me tell ya you sweat like you've never sweated before, but it is AMAZING. It is such a workout. The hubs has started going with my mom and I too. He loves it just as much as I do! It seriously works you out hardcore! If you have hot yoga or Bikram yoga anywhere close to you, you must try it! FYI bring a large towel, water and a hand towel to wipe your sweat! I think next week mom and I are going to try and do it everyday and do two classes in one day! So i'll let you know how it goes. Hopefully I don't pass out!!

Alright I'm headed to fold pool towels and get ready for the pretty sunshine!

Goodness Gracious!

For about a week now the weathermen on ALL of our local channels have been saying there would be bad weather today. Of course when they predict it that early I always think, "Oh whatever, it's not going to be bad" Well they were right. We have had multiple tornadoes touch the ground in the metro area. We even had one on the ground about 5 miles from us. I hate tornadoes. About 3 years ago I was on my way home from college and I was in a tornado in my car. My car went up on two wheels and a tree limb hit the side of my car and my windshield cracked. Seriously one of the scariest things in my life. I called my sweet hubby when I saw the tornado and he talked me through it all but once it passed me my phone had no service and I couldn't talked to me. He left work and headed to where I was. We met on the road. It was so scary. So since then I have been pretty terrified of tornadoes. So today I called our family made sure they were all at home and got my things ready to get in the cellar. My mom called and said it was on the ground 5 miles from us and the dogs and I headed to the cellar. L of course stood outside watching for it. He did come in the cellar when the rained stopped and it got quiet. He thought it was close to us. Fortunately it went back up in the sky and we were protected. But in the metro area there has been some big tornadoes touch the ground with injuries and homes destroyed. Please pray for these families that are affected by these storms. It is so scary when it is so close to home. I'm glued to the TV for the rest of the night to see what all has happened and make sure we are in the clear! What a crazy Monday! Hopefully we won't get anymore the rest of the week!

Totally Random

Ok so I have gone through my phone and put all my pictures on my computer. So I have a lot of random pictures of things we have done over the past couple of months! So here is a quick picture update!

First my mom, my sis, my friend Steph and I went to the Taylor Swift concert. We had so much fun. The concert was really good. We went and ate at the Melting Pot before, which was DELICIOUS and then went to the concert.

My sister and I
This was Romeo and Juliet, the stage looked like a castle. It was so pretty.
Steph and I at the concert

We also went to one of the NBA playoff games. The Thunder came to OKC 2 years ago and they are in the playoffs this year playing the Lakers. We went to one of the home games and they won! It was so much fun. The crowd was crazy loud and my throat is still a little sore from the game, but it as a blast!

I went fishing in the pond behind our house and caught this bass! The hubs laughs at me because I get so excited for catching fish regardless of how big (or small) they are!Of course he had to out do me and catch a big bass! Oh well! Here is Daisy laying out in the sun one day! She cracks me up

We went bowling with some friends at Rock N Bowl with the black lights! I though we looked really tan so I had to take of pic of our legs. (I know I'm a dork)

Our fun bowling shoes

Ok so hopefully I'll try and update this a little more often instead of posting a TON of pictures at one time!! But we have had a fun month. I love that the weather is warming up and we can be outside more.

Funny Friday

It's Friday!!! I'm linking up with Kelly's Friday Funny! This is my first time to link up to anyone's blog so if there are issues please let me know! =)

So here are some of the funny things that happened this week: (you might now think all of these are funny, but I do and I want to remember them!! =)

First off we went and played golf on Monday we some friends of ours. It was a blast! I'm awful, but oh well we still had fun! The funniest part of the evening was I was walking down a little hill to where I hit my ball and L was on the cart watching me and I totally bit it! I fell flat on my butt! Our friends where up on the green and they saw me and then I went missing down the hill. I was laughing SO hard I couldn't get up! L just looked at me and started laughing.

I also went fishing this week. L wasn't home so I went to our pond with my new pink pole. I caught 7 small fish and then cast and the top of my pole flew out in the pond. I guess I didn't put it together right. But luckily I reeled it back in. I was dying laughing. If only someone saw me! It was pretty funny.

L and I got a new TV and TV cabinet for our living room and moved our old tv into our bedroom. It is a TV that sets up on the speaker (like all in one) So it doesn't have to have a cabinet or anything. We had a trunk in our bedroom that our old TV was on so we tried to put this TV on it and it set up like almost to the ceiling. We laughed and laughed about how high it was. L wanted to leave it but I was afraid the dogs would knock it off. It look liked a drive in theatre in our bedroom. It was so funny!

I think that is most of the funny things that happened this week. If I think of more I'll update this post and add more! I hope you all had a great week and laughed as much as I did!!

Sweet Puppies

So this post is dedicated to our sweet puppies. I watched the movie Marley and Me tonight. WOW what a sad movie. I have had it on my ipod to watch for a while now but didn't want to watch it while we were traveling (don't really want to be crying on an airplane watching a movie!) Anyways, yes I did cry. As most of you know we love our dogs. They are our children. This movie hit close to home. Not that any of our dogs are not doing well, but just thinking about getting to that point where dogs get sick and old, makes me so sad. You better believe I'll be loving on all my babies more after watching this movie. Man, I still can't believe how sad the movie is. If you haven't seen it just be prepared, especially if you are a dog lover. Filson sitting pretty outside. He loves to be outside! He would stay in the pool all day if we let him!

Bo got stung by a wasp (well he was actually trying to eat it!) but that is why his lip is so big on the right side. I felt so bad for him, but he looked so cute and silly! Love that boy
Phoebe with her Christmas present. She is guarding it from the rest of the dogs

So if you watch the movie make sure you have some tissue! It really is a good movie, even though it is super sad, it has a good story line! I am so thankful for my lovey dogs! Going to give them hugs now! =)

FCA Banquet

This past week we attended the FCA State Banquet. Michael Oher was the main speaker. I read the book about him and the Blindside before the movie came out and just loved it. We watched the movie a couple weeks ago and I thought it was wonderful. What an awesome story he has and it is so neat of him to share it at the banquet. First Mark Clayton introduced him. He played at OU before going onto the NFL and now plays with Oher in Baltimore. They did a sort of Q & A seesion for Oher. It was really good. What he has accomplished in his life is pretty amazing. I do hope that he doesn't stray from doing so good though. So many people look up to him. That has to be a hard position to be in, but I hope he doesn't take it lightly. One thing I thought was funny that he talked about was, he actually went to see the movie The Blindside with some of his buddies. He bought a ticket and went. No one even recognized him. I think that'd be so crazy to go sit in a theatre with some friends and watch a movie about your life. I'm sure it was a little strange. The banquet was really good. The food was delicious and the speakers did a great job! I am glad we got to go!
