Updates! Updates!

Well my plan to be better at blogging didn't really get instegated hopefully I won't be so busy this school year and can do a little better. But here are some updates:

Buddy is a goofy dog!
I will never understand how Buddy can wiggle under a blanket and sleep with it but when we are gone he destroys them. I also don't understand why he doesn't want to sleep on his bed until I put his bed on ours to clean then he is happy as he could be just laying there.










May
So we had a few things going on in May. There was a party on the 3rd where we hung out with our friends. It was pretty fun. I had to take a picture of Buddy and Burgundy they were both frightened by the fireworks and yet curious at the same time.

We also went to Blackfoot, ID for our Anniversary weekend. I was pretty impressed with us. We have been married five years and we still like each other. We took the opportunity to go down to wolverine canyon and see the old ranch and where Grandpa Lowe was laid to rest last year. It was pretty nice day and a really good trip. The area was very green and the water was pretty high. It did bring back some memories so the weekend was all round nice. We had brought Buddy with us and Pooka and him have become a little bit better friends.

June
So in June my friend Mallory asked me to take an adventure on etching something I had never done before. She wanted a picture of her mom and dad's hous in Nantucket etched on to a glass platter. I was happy to try not knowing if I could. I think it turned out rather nice. I haven't heard whether they like it or not but it has certainly expanded my horizons.
June also was the month where Rusty went to Twin Falls, ID to work for a week and a half. Buddy and I missed him a lot. But the work got done and he got to go home.
July
So I think that we have kinda started a tradition on the 4th. Rusty and I have our friends over and this year. Rusty got an idea that he wanted to build a full size beer pong table. For those of you that don't know my husband loves the UCLA Bruins so once he was finished making the table he asked me to paint it for him in all its glory. It did turn out really nice. He was so excited about the endeavor that he took pictures throughout the process. We all hung out in the garage with Nick and his girlfriend, Mike, Reyes, and Rusty and I and played beer pong.
In mid July was the Jacobs Family Reunion in California. Rusty and I flew down on a Tuesday night and stayed until Sunday. We had a great time lounging by the pool, seeing Rusty's grandma Jo, eating and being merry. We did take advangtage of the weather in San Diego on Wednesday of that week. Old town and the marina were beautiful. Russ and Linda also through an open house for use on that Friday so that all of our friends and theirs could hang out. It was pretty fun. On Saturday of that week we went to the Reunion. It was at Doug and Judy's House and I tell you that house was amazing. The backyard had a beautifully designed pool and cambana. There was a lot of tequila being thrown around along with a lot people being thrown in the pool. If you had clothes on and not a suit that was your problem apparently.
August
Although it is only the first week of August a lot has happened. On July 31st my sister called me from Arizona to tell me she was in the States. I was thrilled to have my sister one flight closer to me. My parents and her both arrived the next morning in Boise to attend our cousin's wedding. The bride was beautiful and the groom handsome. We partied at the American Legion hall and I got the chance to see my Aunt Vicki and most of my cousins.
Note: I am still etching like fiend. Check out the flutes and the vase I gave Ross and Danielle

Reviving the Blog

Image
So it is time to revive this blog. I have not used it in several, and I mean several years. Solely do to life and the fact that I didn't think I had the time. Well no more. I think I need to have a venue to share with you all our current pictures and life. I don't really like to do it on Facebook all that much. So with that... it's alive! No better time then now right? It is the week of July 23rd, Rusty and I and our three energetic kids are having a great time with the Colburn clans in Newport Beach, CA. We arrived here, by plane yesterday and have already basked in the glow of the beach and the condos we are staying in. While the flight was quite early the kids did great, one might think they had fun. With good food and fellowship you can't really go wrong. We took the opportunity to celebrate Linda and Russ's 50th, yeah I said it, 50th Anniversary which will be in December. We dined at a fabulous restaurant Sellebello, thank you Heather for finding the l...

January

Image
I know that January is not over yet but I thought that I would get out some fun pictures we have of Russell. So he has been going to the Children's Center at Boise State University since August. I personally think he is thriving there as he is learning how to play with others and what it means to share. He always seems to be having a pretty good time when I go and pick him up. But, he is always happy to see me to which makes it even better. There are some pictures in this batch of him experimenting with food based paint (I think the chocolate was his favorite) and going to the library with his class. I also found some rather hilarious moments in the car with an Fred Meyer ad and when we took him to Sockey for lunch. We got him a meal from their kids menu which he tried to devour in minutes (Kid loves cheese, carbs, and meat) so the chicken quesadilla was a hit. He tried an onion and made a pretty funny face. He is such a ham. It's getting harder to take his picture because he ...

Catching Up

Image
For the first time in months I have a little time to catch up on my blog. I am proud to say that I at least had all of the pictures loaded I just need to get them in Russell's photo book. August , September , October , November , and December was very busy. At work I had new job duties and a new Unit to be a part of while Rusty attended school full time for the first time in a really long time. He did a great job. He diligently went to all of his classes and studied. He even successfully passed part two of Elmentary Spanish after being out of 101 for over 10 years. Russell has grown and grown. He gets a little belly and not a week later its gone and he has grown again. He turned 1 year old in December and Rusty and I couldn't believe how much he had changed. We went to Blackfoot for Christmas and got to spend some time with my mom and dad, and Faith. I wished we would have had some snow for Russell to play with at the time but, we just got it late this year.
