Holy Cow!! And that is just in our immediate family! October must be the best month to have a birthday!!

Fatman's Loop!

I'm so excited, I found a new trail to go hiking on! My friend Sarah and I went hiking on it on Thursday and I took Kyle and his friend with me today. It's called Fatman's loop! I know crazy name but it's awesome!! Half of it's uphill and stepping up over rocks and boulders and the second half is downhill (still rocky but not exhausting!) Here are some pictures......

Clints Wells

Bryan and I just got back from spending a weekend camping in Clints Wells. My dad was drawn to go hunting for cow elk there and invited us. My 2 uncles and my sister and her family came up as well. It was tons of fun. My dad brought his sand rail so Tiff and I went driving down the trails and of course we almost ran into a few trees but it was a blast! We sat around the campfire and just relaxed! My Dad is still up there and hasn't gotten anything yet but I'm sure he will soon!

Shrinking!!!

I am so excited! I've been using this site myfitnesspal.com to try and "watch" what I've been eating. This site is a FREE calorie counter and exercise log. So I put in what I was eating (ex: taco bell, Wendy's, ice cream) and holy cow was I eating a lot!!!!! So I put in my weight, height, goal weight and when I wanted to accomplish it. It told me the calories I could eat and how much I should exercise. I've been doing this since about June and I have lost about 17 lbs so far!!! It feels great! Bryan and I go on a walk almost every night and we both feel so much better! It's amazing what a little exercise can do! My jeans don't fit anymore and I fit into a size small exercise shorts...... I have NEVER fit into a small, my butt and thighs have always been to big, I've always required at least a large. For anyone that is looking for an easy way to watch what they are eating I would highly recommend this website!!!!

3 years....

Bryan and I met 3 years ago today! I still can't believe that a blind date over at my sister's house actually worked!! But I'm am very grateful to my sister for matching us up and picking out a wonderful man for me to spend the rest of my life with! He is so loving and caring..... I couldn't have asked for more!

Visitors!!

My sister, brother-in-law, 2 nieces and nephew came up for two days to hang out! We went to the lava rocks, walked around downtown and had great bbq, watched the Cardinals football training, went to the lake and went on a nice walk! We had a blast and can't wait for them to come back up!!

A day in the life.....

......... of Trapper! I know she's just our dog but she cracks us up sometimes!! She loves going to the lake and playing fetch!
We have to keep her on her leash otherwise she would be in the water for hours and we would never leave!

This picture was just crazy! There were people grilling outside and she apparently wanted to get a "good" look! I really think she thinks she's a chihuahua!! She just ran and jumped on our desk! Good thing she's not 70 pounds or anything!!
