THE TWO WILD RATS ENJOYING THEIR

TIME TOGETHER.

THIS PAST WEEKEND, ROBERT AND I WENT OVER TO PASO ROBLES TO WELCOME OUR NEWEST NIECE, LILY JANE, INTO THE WORLD. WE HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME, PLAYING WITH THE OLDER KIDS, AND ADORING THE LITTLE ONE. ALSO, THE MEN IN THE FAMILY GOT TO GO GOLFING ON SATURDAY, IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME. (ALL THE YOUNG GUYS GOT BEAT THE OLD MAN!) WAY TO GO DAD! THANKS, FAMILY FOR THE GREAT WEEKEND!

JUST ANOTHER WEEKEND PROJECT!!

OVER 3 TONS OF PURE ROCK!!

THE BEGINNING!!

AMAZING NO DIRT!!

WE ARE SO HAPPY WITH IT!!

FINISHED FOR NOW!

WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT THE ADDITION TO OUR BACKYARD. IT ONLY TOOK US A YEAR TO BUT WE NOW HAVE A PATIO THAT ISN'T MADE OF DIRT. THERE IS STILL A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO, BUT NEVERTHELESS THE HARDEST PART IS OVER. AFTER THREE DAYS OF WHEEL BARRELING GRASS, SAND, AND STONE, WE ARE BOTH VERY SORE AND TIRED BUT THE PAIN IS WELL WORTH IT. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT TOOK TIME OUT OF THEIR BUSY LIVES TO HELP US WITH THE WORK. SPECIALLY OUR LITTLE CHEERLEADER, PEYTON, WHO CHEERED US ON THE WHOLE TIME.

GO BULLDOGS!

MARCY AND I

ON SATURDAY, ROBERT AND I HEADED UP TO FRESNO TO VISIT WITH HIS GRANDPARENTS, EAT AT ONE OF OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANTS, AND WATCH ONE OF THE BIGGEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMES OF THE YEAR, FRESNO STATE VS. WISCONSIN WITH ROBERT'S BROTHER (RONNIE) AND HIS WIFE (MARCY). IT WAS A GREAT GAME BUT THE BULLDOGS JUST COULDN'T PULL IT OUT.

PAINT! PAINT! PAINT!!

HE WAS HAVING SO MUCH FUN!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE ROOM NOW!

THE KITCHEN! I REALLY LIKE RED!

AFTER BEING IN THE HOUSE FOR ALMOST A YEAR, WE FINALLY DECIDED THAT WE NEEDED TO PAINT. WE ENDED UP DOING IT ALL OURSELVES AND IT WAS A LOT OF WORK. IT WAS THE FIRST OF MANY PROJECT THAT WE NEED TO GET AROUND THE HOUSE. BUT I THINK WE WILL JUST TAKE THEM ONE AT A TIME.

GARY ALLAN I LOVE HIM!!

THIS PAST WEEKEND, ROBERT AND I WENT WITH SOME FRIENDS TO SEE GARY ALLAN IN CONCERT. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAD SEEN HIM AND ROBERT'S FIFTH. I GUESS WE ARE WHAT YOU COULD CALL SUPER FANS?? WE BOTH LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC AND FOUND GARY ALLAN TO BE OUR MOST FAVORITE ARTIST. HIS MUSIC PROVIDED MOST OF OUR SONGS AT OUR WEDDING. WE HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME, AND ARE SEARCHING FOR THE NEXT GARY ALLAN CONCERT WE CAN GO TO. WE JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH!

BLAST FROM THE PAST

THE GIRLS

THE GUYS

AREN'T WE CUTE?
SOME FRIENDS

LAST SATURDAY ROBERT AND I WERE INVITE TO AN EIGHTIES PARTY AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN GETTING ALL DRESSED UP, I SPENT MOST THE DAY SHOPPING AND WORKING ON MY COSTUME. I HAD TO DO SOME RESEARCH SINCE I DON'T REMEMBER MUCH WHAT THE EIGHTIES WERE LIKE BECAUSE I WASN'T BORN UNTIL 1985. I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO EIGHTIES, THE STYLE WAS A WHOLE LOT OF FUN.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF LUKA

HE IS SO STUDLY!

SOMETIMES HE SITS LIKE A HUMAN!

JUST LAYING AROUND!

LUKA THINKS HE IS A LAP DOG!

LUKA IS OUR ENGLISH BULLDOG, HE IS 2 AND A HALF YEARS OLD. HE HAS A GREAT PERSONALITY, AND HE SLEEPS ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT. HE ISN'T A DOG THAT NEEDS A LOT OF EXERCISE, WEIGHING 67 LBS, HE CAN ONLY WALK ABOUT A MILE A DAY BEFORE HE OUT FOR THE NIGHT. LUKA ENJOYS CURLING UP IN OUR BED OR ON OUR COUCH. HE IS IN LOVE WITH ROBERT, WHENEVER ROBERT IS HOME LUKA WILL FOLLOW HIM EVERYWHERE HE GOES. WE LOVE HIM VERY MUCH, HE IS VERY MUCH A PART OF OUR SMALL FAMILY.
