Ever Changing Hair

A lot of my recent posts have been inspired by Dustin. He is always saying funny things. Today's comment was too funny to not share.
I got my hair cut on Friday and we were talking about my new cut and how I am trying to grow my hair out. The conversation went a little something like this:
D: When are you going to calm it down with your hair!
Me: What are you talking about?
D: You'e always doing different things with your hair, can't you just stick to one style?
Me: Umm, no I can't! Not only do I love to mix it up, but I also get my hair done for free. So why does it matter!?
D: Well then I guess it doesn't.(Sassy tone)

I started looking at some of our old pictures and Dustin was right, I really do change my hair a lot! Some cute cuts and some not so cute cuts/colors!
Here is a look back:








Heres a picture of my hair now. Pretty Blonde.

Goodbye Shade

Dustin's uncle Tom came and removed a tree from the front of our house today! The tree's roots have become out of control! The roots were starting to come up underneath the driveway cement and towards our house. The tree provided much shade that will be missed but we're just worried about the trees' roots. We probably wouldn't have done anything about it for a while or until it was a really big problem but uncle Tom took the tree out for FREE! Heres before, during and after shots!

During:

After:

I'm not so sure how I feel about taking the tree out now thats it done but its kind of too late. I'm really wanting to plant some rose bushes and some flowers so we'll see!

Blow Dryer Hater

Today was bath time for Emily(our new boxer)! She loves bath time but she HATES the blow dryer. She barks, runs and tries to bite my blow dryer! I think it is so funny! Watch this:

Ear Rubbing/The Look

Dustin told me last night that I have two signature "moves/looks".
1st-I rub his ears way to much.
When I first met Dustin, I noticed that he had really nice, big, and very soft earlobes! I loved to touch them and rub them between my two fingers. Over the years, rubbing his ears have become sort of a security blanket for me. When I'm tired, bored, nervous or maybe having a hard time, I love to rub his ears! Its gotten to a point where Dustin will offer to let me rub his ears when he notices that I'm freaking out! haha
While Christa was taking pictures of us a few weeks ago, she captured a picture of me doing it!

2nd- I also give "The Look"
I give this look when I'm trying to tell Dustin that I'm not fooled by what he is telling me. Usually, I'm saying "Dustin, Please"!(Please meaning..I don't think so or you're not fooling me) And just like in the picture, Dustin is usually laughing at me and not taking me serious!!

California's Great America

This weekend we went to California's Great America Theme Park! My dad's work (PG&E) was having a special there so we went with my family. It was so much fun! PG&E gave us free soda drinks and a free bbq lunch! My favorite ride was the Flight Deck. It was the most smooth and fun ride!

Dusty's favorite ride was the FireFall. I was sick by this time so I did not ride it!

Here is Brent, Dustin and my dad before riding the Grizzly! Such a bumppy ride!


Saturday night after we went to Great America, we swam at the hotel pool and then went to go see a movie. My dad, brother and Dustin went and saw "Star Trek".(That was Dustin's second time seeing it.) My mom and I went and saw "17 Again". I really enjoyed it! It was clean and had a good message.
On Sunday we went to San Fransico. My little brother Brent had never been so we took him to see Pier 39 and the WW2 submarine. We had such a good time. It was so nice to just get away!

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers out there.
This morning Me, Dustin, Brooke, & Shaun went over to my moms house to make her home-made strawberry waffles. My mom loves them and we don't have them very often. Brooke and I gave my mom a pedicure gift certificate and a "Families are Forever" vinyl lettering sign. She loved it! We love it too.
Heres a picture of the lettering we put up on her wall!

Happy Mothers Day Mom! We love you!

I've been at it again...

I've been at it again! I did another Picture Arrangement! Picture Arranging is surprisingly fun! I really like it! I might not actually be very good at this but I enjoy doing it and that's all that matters. Dusty told me that we have enough pictures of us up but what else am I supposed to frame and put up? I've been off of work this week because Dr. B is out of town. I decided to spend the time wisely and have done a different project everyday this week. On Monday, I finished painting both bathrooms then rearranged my bedroom furniture. Tuesday I organized the back bedroom and file cabinet and put up these wedding pictures. Today, Wednesday, I deep cleaned the front room, kitchen and den! Woo. I'm exhausted, especially because I got up early and did it before work. I had to work day after all!
We've had different wedding pictures up since we have been married but not a really good arrangement or assortment. I just got a Costco card with my sister so I ordered some of our wedding pictures. Costco's pictures are super cheap! I went to the Wal-Mart and bought a few frames! They were on sale for $3 dollars each! A friend had told me they were on sale and I thought that they might be crappy or ugly but they were really cute!
I put this arrangement up in our den room. I printed pictures that were "the same" so I could put them across from each other. In other words, I did a picture of me and my bridesmaids and a picture of Dustin and his groomsmen.
There is a big glare from our sliding glass mirror! Sorry, it is kind of hard to see!

From Brown to Blue

Today we had the trim of our house painted. We've been wanting to have it painted for a while now. My friend, Jaclyn, from work, her brother, Cody, paints houses so he came by Friday and Saturday and painted our house! It turned out great.
The old brown paint was chipped and faded. Heres a before picture of the house..Hopefully you can tell that it used to be brown.

Now our house is BLUE! I love it! We choose a great color!


Thanks Cody!

Please Welcome...

Today we were able to pick up our new boxer puppy! We are so excited! We got her from the same lady that we got Addison from. We really liked her and think her dogs are really good looking. Addison has such nice lines, great color, never barks, and obeys pretty good.
Before I show the new puppy pictures, here is a picture of Addison in her new favorite spot. She loves to look outside the window thru the screen door until recently when we bought a new couch. The new couch sits in front of our huge window in the front room. Shes been standing on the edge of the new couch so she can look out! She looks so funny! Crazy Girl!

Then when she is all done looking out the window and is tired, she looks like this!

Sleeping on the same couch that she was jusy standing on!
Heres our new puppy! Dustin named her this time! He named her EMILY! We're going to call her EMMY Girl so it can be EMMY & ADDY girl! So cute! She is 8 weeks old today. The previous owners named her diamond because of the spot on the middle of her back!

Emmy seems to like the side of the couch! Shes all tired out from seeing everyone today!
