The past two weeks of moving

Don't you hate it when you want to take a picture and your camera is dead?! That has been the story of my life recently. So even though our life has taken some drastic changes I have no pictures to remember them. Sad hugh....but yes our life has drastically changed. The past two weeks have been crammed with packing boxes, cleaning, and repairing our old house. It took us two weeks to pack and 3 days to move from our the place that we called home. It all happened so quickly that none of it seemed to sink in. The realization hit me Saturday. I just left my friends, (my amazing friends), my home of 3 years, and my first baby, Sadie. It all seems so strange right now. I feel like I have a lump in my throat that hasn't quiet been released. And honestly and very surprisingly I miss my dog. We have talked about selling her for a while now. It just so happened that the people moving into our house are huge animal lovers and loved Sadie. So not only did I leave my empty house behind, I left my dog in it. I don't miss having to take care of her, I miss how sweet she was with Sage, how Sage would chase her around and giggle like crazy, and I miss how she honestly seemed to love being apart of our family. I just hope that her new family will take good care of her. I am trying to remember that dogs don't think like us. They don't have emotions like us. I am sure that she is fine...
As for the update on our new home, there isn't one. We are anxiously awaiting to hear back from our agents. Hopefully we will get into a house soon. In the mean time we are enjoying living with Scott's parents. They are so great. They love Sage to pieces and spoil her rotten! I am trying to help out as much as I can while I am living with them with cleaning and cooking. I am just trying not to be a burden at all. I will keep you updated on our housing situation. In the mean time we will be with the in laws!

Puppy Birthday Party!




Our good friends Matt and Amy had their son, Wesley's birthday party on friday. It was so much fun and so cute! Amy set up a grooming station where the kids put on puppy ears and a dog collar with their name on it. It was so adorable. It was great to see them and to celebrate Wesley's 1st birthday! Thanks you guys!

Fun Summer Days




I love summer! I can't believe that summer is coming to an end! We have had a great summer. Scott and Sage have started going on 4 wheeler rides in the evening. Sage loves it!! She just sits there with her eye's wide open taking it all in. The other day we had so much fun at the pool. Sage has so much fun running around in the water and siting in her floaty. I also could not resist taking a picture of her the other day with all of her curls on the top of her head. She is such a beauty.

Fun, family, and 10 days of camping


We spent last 10 days in the beautiful Colorado Mountains! We had a wonderful time at my mom's family reunion near Durango the first weekend. We camped on my uncle's property along with two of my brothers. It was so great to see the fam and catch up on their lives. We pulled out of there on Sunday morning and headed for a camping spot near Telluride. It was so beautiful!!!! I love the mountains, and I especially love these mountains! We camped with my four brother's and their families. I loved being with them and having our kids around each other. Sage had a blast!! It rained a lot so we didn't get to do a lot of 4 wheeling, hiking, or fishing. But is was great to be with good company. We also celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary! It was so much fun! We were very thankful that the weather let up just enough for us to enjoy it. It was quite the experience because we had to bring everyone up on 4 wheelers to our spot!! We then had my dad's family reunion at a lodge near there that was so much fun!!! It was a long 10 days but we did it! We are glad to be back home!!

Happy 4th of July!

For the Fourth of July this year we had such a fun day! We went out to lunch with Scott's parents at Good wood. Then the girls went to the mall and the boys went to Cabala's. (The girls did not want to spend all day at Cabala's!) Later that night we met up with our good friends Kevin and Allison for dinner and fireworks! We had so much fun. Sage was mesmerized by the lights. The only time she got upset was when they got too loud. Otherwise we cuddled on the blanket together. I couldn't help but think that this was what makes being a mommy so worth it! I love when she will lay and cuddle with me! It was a great day!
