Happy Birthday Chad!!!

Happy Birthday to my best friend! I am so thankful for Chad! He is an amazing husband and friend. He is such a good man and helps me to be a better person. Yes, he is the one that keeps me on the straight and narrow and from visiting President Maverick on Sundays. He is also a great teacher and loves and cares about the students that he works with. These last two years he has been working on his Masters in the evenings after working all day, administrating, scoring or coaching most nights and doing Church/High Council stuff all weekend. We have had so many blessings in our lives that I think I've lost track. I love you honey, I am so thankful for you and I can't imagine living without you! Happy Birthday!

Daddy Moment

So today when I (Chad) came home from work I took the dogs outside to do their duties. Well, Ginger started honking/snorting (it is a septum issue with her breed that kicks in when she breathes in junk sometimes). Rusty got all concerned and wrapped himself around my ankle essentially. Ginger gets very bothered when this happens, so she climbed my leg and had to be held and carried the rest of the way back to the house. I managed to get Rusty to walk and got them both back to the house. We barely got in the house, Ginger still clinging to my left arm. I knelt down to un-clip their leashes. Rusty couldn't handle it anymore, he had to be held too. Well you get the mental image! There I was, kneeling on the entry rug with a dog in each arm. They both nuzzled into me, then they turned and nuzzled each other. Then they were ok and both jumped down. Just a cute moment I wish I had on film!

Funny

So, anyone missing a Superman at you're home? Rusty found him in the lawn outside and he followed us home. Oh I wish I could have taken a picture of him trotting along with it in his little jaws. It was hilarious!

This is my new favorite earring...I just couldn't help myself sweet little silver chubby birds!

New Blog!!

Our good friends Amy and Wayne have started a new business and have the cutest stuff! Check it out here.

Selfish Amy and updates

First of all I really do love Rusty...I just didn't realize how selfish I was with my time, sleep, love of clean "dry" carpet, and the ability to walk without having someone dive under my feet. While I don't have kids, I feel like I just got a 2 year old. He is finally making it from midnight to 5:30 and also from 6:30 to 3:00 or even 4pm! The books and Internet do say that a toy dog aka designer dog is much harder to potty train, which is true for Rusty as he does great in the kennel, it's just the rest of the time that he is a walking pee-bomb. You can take him out and 15 minutes later he goes, he is a water hound as well. He loves to drink! I do have to admit that we are having fun, half the time he hops every where he goes definitely spunky.
Chad just finished another class and started this week on his last class for his Masters! With Softball,Freshman Orientation, High Counsel, Seminary, Classroom observations, Papers, and oh yeah Teaching he is just amazing! I still don't know how he manages to get everything done.

Creepy

Am I the only one that thinks the Old Navy Models are creepy? While looking for new Capri's I ventured out to several Old Navy stores, each time running in to a large display of Mannequins, strangely life sized and all over the place. Beyond creepy. I do think it's a great marketing spot for the company and has to be pretty cost effective at that!
