The Dukester

I just wanted to throw a couple of funny pics of Duke on here. The first one is on the way home from getting him neutered. He looked so pitiful. The second one Leah took when I got home from school on Monday. I was outside talking on my cell phone and Duke was just resting his head on the window just waiting and wondering why I wasn't coming inside to play. What a riot. 

Curb Appeal

Leah has been very busy and with my school year winding down I figured I would add my .02 to the this little family weB LOG we have going on here. One thing that I wanted put on here are the pics of our new flower garden. Leah and my mom, Billie, put in alot of time doing it and I think it turned out great! I just took my last final of my first year of dental school which feels great. I will be starting a job tomorrow at the dental school doing research about the effects of hypoxia (starving cells of oxygen) on osteoblasts (cells that help build our bones). Pretty exciting stuff I know. (Insert sarcasm icon here). Duke is almost 8 months old now and now weighs close to 60 pounds. He is still a big baby though. Nothing else too big in our lives. Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather we have had the past few days although it would be nice if the wind would calm down a little. Enjoy the pics!!!

The Official Twilight Teaser Trailer

For all of you who are Twilight fanatics, here is a link to watch the Twilight teaser. I can't wait for December! The anticipation is killing me!

Duke's girlfriend

We've been taking Duke to the dog park since it's been so nice outside. That's where he met his girlfriend, Hannah, a.k.a Hannah Montana. She's just two months older than Duke. They have almost the same markings so it is so hard to tell them apart. They love to play together every time we're at the park.

Here's a picture of them playing tug.

Hannah is the one wearing a blue and red collar and Duke has the red one.

A few days ago, we went to the dog park again and Hannah was there too! And she and her owner got Duke something.

Her owner got him a studded collar! I know... kind of cheesy. Duke and Hannah play nonstop when we're there at the dog park and I think it's just cute to see them with matching studded collars:)

Brett is 26!

It was Brett's birthday yesterday. To celebrate it, I threw him the best surprise birthday party I could ever throw!

Here are the invitations that I sent out.

I invited Brett's family and friends over for burgers and hot dogs in our backyard. 

Here's his birthday cake from Raspberries n Creme. It has a layer of milk chocolate cake, a layer of white cake with italian cream and strawberries in between, topped with whipped cream. It was soooo good!

It was so much fun planning it because I had to hide everything from him and act like as if I'm not planning anything big this year for his birthday. 

Special thanks to... our family and friends that came and celebrated with us. Topher and Carma who let me store my groceries over at their house. Billie who helped me all day. Lee, Jason, and Andy for taking Brett fishing. 

Brett had no idea what was coming last Saturday. It was priceless to see his smiling face as he enjoyed his party. Brett has been such a wonderful husband to me... I couldn't ask for more. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY again babe!

Many more FUN birthdays to come!

Here's a pic from the dinner and dance Brett and  I went to at his school. It was a fun night!

New Hobby

I love to give birthday and holiday cards away, but they can get pricey when I add up the $5 that I spend on each card. So I’ve decided that I’m going to make homemade cards from now on. I found some really cute scrapbook paper at Hobby Lobby and it's only a dollar for eight pieces! These are the first three cards that I made and I’m very proud of myself!
