Condiments

Okay so ALL of them are actually classified as condiments however most of them are! I got the urge to clean my fridge today and I am shocked at how much “nonfood” is in my fridge. Normally one should have ingredients, leftovers, and ready to eat foods in their fridge and some sort of combo should equal dinner! We have more salad dressings; BBQ sauces, ice cream toppings, and dips than real food! Our fridge is always full…but nothing to eat. The list includes (but not limited to) Ranch dressing, Cesar dressing, Honey mustard dressing, honey mustard, mustard, Light mayo, relish, whole pickles, sliced pickles, maraschino cherries, Chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, chocolate fudge, chunky salsa, mild salsa, Alfredo sauce, ketchup, horseradish sauce, tarter sauce, frosting, parmesan cheese, bacon bits, spicy mustard, thousand island dressing, Hinze 57, A1, jelly, Jam, taco sauce, BBQ sauce, tub of butter, lemon juice , Catalina dressing, Cucumber ranch dressing, Italian dressing, Vidalia Onion vinaigrette, Teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Arby’s sauce!

What is in your fridge….anything to eat?

STINKIN' HOTT

So I can't complain much because I have Air Conditioning at home, in my car, and at work, so I am actually enjoying the heat!

Rachael and I took her nieces swimming...no pictures of me...but here is Rachael doing a super model pose in the Pools fountain!

Rach and Melissa playing with the Beach ball! It was so nice...minus the sunburn (despite my sunscreen) we will probably go again next week!

Clara and Aurdey like to be nakey when its so hot!

Jumpin' Jumpin'

A Shave and A hair Cut- 2 Bits!

Before- Fluffy and cute!

After- Nakey and still cute!

Our Bruce got shaved today...we wanted to just get a trim but his fur was so matted from the kenal at the pet store that it could not be combed out and we had to shave it all off...poor guy is Nakey now! He looks like a little rat! At least its HOT outside, and it will grow back fast!

Two Years!

I cannot believe Malachi and I have married for 2 years. Malachi feels like our time together has been short, but I cannot remember how I lived my life before he came into it. We need each other…if we had not got married Malachi would probably still be living in Ellensburg, working at part time at McDonalds, going to college but with no real Major or goal in mind, and with his biggest achievement being his movie collection. He is the kind of man that needs a little push to thrive! Luckily I am great at pushing! He has grown so much since the day I met him! He is amazing, he has worked hard to have a wonderful Carrier,to be the provider and protector of our home and I know one day he will be a great Dad!
I need him as much as he needs me. I am the first to admit I have LOTS of issues and I am sure I could have found/tricked someone else to marry me…but they probably would have been running for the hills by now. Malachi has by my side through everything and has been the most supportive and patient man I could have ever prayed for. Our life has defiantly NOT gone the course I thought or had hoped it would, but as Malachi so fervently reminds me its still an okay path. Because of my high expectations I am disapointed a lot, but Malachi finds the joy in the here an now… he forces me to stop and appreciate where we are now.
During our first year of marriage when we lived in our tiny one bedroom apartment in Ellensburg I was sure that this was the time that we would grow together the most…little did I know that owning a home, going through fertility treatments and miscarriages in our second year would strengthen our marriage even more.
I look forward to the many years ahead…hopefully full of family, children, joys and stability.

PUPPY

He hops around like a bunny!

He is So cuddly!
After MUCH consideration, research and shopping we got this Puppy today! We are really excited! It is a Schnauzer/Maltese (hypo-alergenic) mix and He is so Cute! We decided to name him "Bruce" like Bruce Wayne from Batman! I have never had a dog before so I went to the Library this morning and got a bunch of books on how to train and take care of a puppy! It will be new and life changing...but so far it's good! Any tips on indoor potty training?
More pictures to come!

ZOO

We looked a little like a circus...4 Adults, 4 kids and 3 Strollers!!


Can you see the Bird on her stick?

Clara Buggie didn't like the carosel the 1st time around, but she was much more confident the next time!

We had so much fun...that Zoo is SO cool...There was a realy fun show with lots of animals, the kids got to Ride a camel,Touch star fish and sea slugs, Feed the birdies, Ride on the Carosel (Just like Mary Poppins) and we saw lots of really fun animals! Sydney's favorite was the Monkeys, we had to DRAG her away!

Off to the Beach!

Its been pretty HOTT outside and We all needed a day off to relax so some of my friends from work and I went to the beach!

Rach, Jenn, and Tanner!

We played with the dogs in the water! (Butt shots)

The dogs cannot be off a leash...so we kept getting tangled!

And of COURSE we had snacks!



PS. We Found this Crab!
