Random events of the weekend

This weekend was Bryce's parents 40th High School Reunion from Westwood High. Bryce's dad was in a band, back in high school, and they were fortunate enough to meet back up to play at the reunion. It was so fun to see them all together, jamming out to the songs back from their high school days (we snuck in to watch). Unfortunately, these were the best pictures I could capture of my father-in-law. He is more of a behind the scenes guy so he hid in the back for most of the songs. Bryce and his mom had a ball dancing together on the dance floor! For those of you that know me, you know that I am the picture taker, NOT the dancer.
So our puppy has been in heat, this past week, so we decided to do some research. After locking her up all week, we found that they make puppy diapers! They come in different patterns and are so cute. I did feel bad but she was much happier being able to run around. She did have a hard time getting used to them. She never could quite figure out how to walk without waddling around.

It FINALLY came....and left for another year

Yes, I am talking about the NFL Draft. My husband has been talking about, studying and anticipating the draft since December of last year. Not including all of the pre and post game shows (which he did watch of course) all 7 rounds, of the draft, totaled about 15 hours. My dear sweet hubby did not miss a single one of those (your call on whether that is impressive or obsessive). Either way, he is a die hard sports fan and when Thursday, April 22nd finally rolled around, he lit up like a child during Christmas.

He was very happy with the Cardinals first round pick (Dan Williams)

It's Hiking Season!

I got surprised, by this little fella, while out hiking a few weekends ago. He was not too happy to see us (hence the striking pose and rattling tail). Turns out that these snakes, Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes, are quite a dangerous breed! I have learned my lesson and will be much more cautious from now on.

The wildflowers are so beautiful this time of year! Plus, the rain has caused everything to grow lush and plentiful! It was so green and pretty!

Easter Festivities

These are our sad excuses for dying easter eggs. Although, Bryce did show off his skills with the Phoenix Suns egg (left). Pretty fancy huh?

My fantastic birthday week!

If you notice in the title of this post, it says birthday week. My sweet husband told me that since my birthday was on a Sunday this year, we could celebrate it all week long! He surprised me by taking me up to Payson to stay a few nights in this cozy little hotel. It was such a cute place and we had so much fun together.









We hiked the Natural Bridge and explored the town of Payson! I am so bitter that the Natural Bridge is closing forever this June....something about budget problems. If you ask me, it seems that the fee of $5/person should cover it! It's such a beautiful natural wonder and it makes me sad that they will deprive people of seeing it!

More events from the past month!



Two of Bryce's brothers came in town for the Ragnar Relay Race. The race starts in Prescott and ends at Tempe Town Lake. As a result of it being a relay race, each person has different legs until they reach the finish line. So what is missing? The team must have a vehicle to make the drive in....this was their choice. The guys bought this awesome van off Craigslist. Luckily it came fully pimped out with the sweet red seats and shaggy interior. Oh and the two rims on the other side were Pepto-Bismol pink!
