Our 5th Dog

Mmmhmmm, we got ANOTHER dog. We now have 5. A Bichon Frise mix, two Siberian Huskies, a pug, and now Wilson, Lexy's 8 week old Yorkshire Terrier. He is one of the cutest dogs I have EVER seen, and I don't usually like small dogs. He is such a joy. He has been here two days and already he is fitting in like one of the family. He loves Alexa so much. You see, he was her 16th birthday present. He is her baby now. Haha! She loves him so freaking much! They are so cute together!

So anyways, I just wanted to introduce you to Wilson and share some cute pics of him.

Oh, and wanna know where Alexa came up with the name? Ever heard of a little show called House? We love you Dr. James Wilson, Boy Wonder Oncologist!

I'M A BLOGGING SLACKER

Yes friends, I know I have been slacking in the blogging department. Life has been hectic lately. Not really anything in particular, just lots of little things. I do have some cute pictures to post of Lyla and whatnot, but alas, I am too lazy to do that at the moment.

Instead, how about a quick update? Yes? Okay. :)

• Lyla is now cutting 7 teeth! Two top ones have already popped in.
• She is also starting to take steps in between the furniture! She is getting so brave, and I suspect she will be walking soon.
• I still haven't taken my GED yet, but I will be soon. I have to go down and register on one day, and then take the test on another, which would be fine if I didn't live a freaking HOUR away from the school!
• I have another photo shoot this weekend! I am so excited!
• My hair is getting hecka long, and I can't decide if I want to cut it again, or let it grow out some more. Any thoughts?
• My sister is FINALLY done with volleyball!!
• Its been so cold here! Yes, Arizona can be cold. It was 55° here for the HIGH! But, by Sunday its supposed to be back to 85! Will you just make up your mind already weather!?!
• We got our dog a shock collar. Muhahahaha!

Okie doke, there you have it. Some random updates. I apologize that my life if uber borning at the moment. I hope you can all bare with me until something interesting happens! Haha! So, how have ya'll been?

HOMECOMING 2009

Homecoming was so amazing! I am so so so glad I decided to go! This year, the dance was right after the football game. I was kinda upset by that at first, but it really turned out wonderful.

First, Alexa, Mom, Dad, Lyla, and I headed out to Garett's house to get pictures of the lovely couple. We hung there for a while, and I snapped away. :) The looked so adorable together!

Next, Lexy and I headed to the school. I had the amazing honor to sing with my former choir. I felt so happy that they let me sing even though I don't go to the school anymore. We sang the national anthem, and our school's Alma mater. It was wonderful. :)

Then we KICKED THE CRAP OUT OF PARKER HIGH! We beat them 63-16!!! I see our school winning state in the very near future. Lyla did wonderful, and had an awesome time watching the game. Every time we scored, she would raise her hands up in the air and scream! Haha! It was so stinking cute! Alexa was also named Homecoming Duchess at halftime. :) I was so proud of her! The Sophomore class picked her as their class royalty! And she thinks she isn't popular. Haha!

Finally Alexa and I headed over to the dance. This years theme was Black Tie Affair, so my dress was perfect!! I had a blast at the dance! I did feel a bit awkward sometimes though. I mostly followed Garett and Alexa around all night! Haha! I am a horrible socializer believe it or not. But it was fun anyways.

After the dance, Lexy, Garett, and I headed over to Denny's at midnight to grab some food. :) We ran into some friends who were at the dance, and said hey to them for a bit. Once our meal concluded, I drove Mr. Garett home, and Lex and I hit the sack about 10 mins once we walked into our house. It was an awesome night. :)

As always, here are some pictures, there might be an overload, so bare with me. :)

SLACKING

I have been really slacking on the blogging lately. I just haven't really had anything to post about. LOL! Nothing much has been going on. I had that interview, but I already told you about all that. I have been studying for my GED like crazy, but nothing too exciting there. Lyla is doing awesome, but nothing much has changed with her either. She still isn't walking yet :( Though, she is popping through some new teeth! I guess that's new! Yay! She only has two, but now like three are coming in at the same time! :D

Anyways, I do want to share the picture I got from Alexa's volleyball game in Sedona. They got creamed, BIG TIME, but it was still fun. Garett {Lexy's BF} went with us, and it was a lot of fun. Not to mention it was so beautiful up there. I haven't been to Sedona since I was a wee little one. LOL! So anywho, sorry for neglecting the blog, hopefully something interesting with happen soon. Haha!

PEACE | LOVE | VOLLEYBALL

That's Lexy's life statement these days. :) My sister is an AMAZING volleyball player. She has only been playing for two years. Last year, her freshman year, was her first year ever on a team. She made the Freshman team and rocked it! This year, as a Sophomore, she made Junior Varsity. :) She is awesome!

She is a middle hitter, and let me tell you, her hits HURT! BIG TIME! I know she's gonna make varsity next year, and possibly captain her Senior year. :) That would be really sweet. Anywho, I have never put any pictures up of Alexa play v-ball, so here are some from her game last Tuesday. They didn't win, but Lexy had some sweet hits that scored many of the points. :) You rock sissy!


{Sorry the pics aren't that great. But you get the picture. ;) Haha!}

SISTA SISTA

"I neva knew how much I missed ya..."

Yesterday, I actually got to hang with my awesome sissy. We used to hang all the time, but it is volleyball season. That means Lexy is going to school, going to practice, eating, then off to bed. Not to mention she was a boyfriend now. ;)

So it was really nice to get to spend a little time with her yesterday. We went up to watch out niece's volleyball game, then we did some shopping, then home for church. It was a lovely day hanging out with my lovely sister. Love you Lexy!!

WHICH ONE, WHICH ONE

I finally got my Homecoming dress! We went on Friday after we all had some of Lyla's B-day cake. :) We went up to Prescott, so they didn't have the dress that I tried on last weekend, but I did find a ton of adorable dresses! :D But which one did I choose? Hmmm?? {Lexy is with me trying on dresses, but I had to white out the one she actually picked so Garett doesn't see :P}

Did I go with this one??? How 'bout this one??
Hmmm...maybe this one?
Is yellow what I went with??
What about this little number??Well, all those were super beautiful, but I went with the classy 50's style dress! I love this dress sooo much! I feel like a million bucks in it! You can't really tell, but it has three little roses in the top corner. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever owned, and I cannot wait to wear it to the dance. Now, if only I had a date....
