February Fun

Feb. 1-7!!!

This week flew by, and our weekend was absolutely excellent!

This was a while ago, I was driving somewhere in Orem and saw this! I couldn't believe there's really a Graff Circle! lol We need to live there. 

On Saturday morning Miss Emma had her opening social for the Miss PG pageant. It's going to go by so fast because we only have like 5 weeks to prepare! I was impressed by the program and all that the director and committee does to prepare the contestants. They took their contestant pictures and also drew for numbers. She got drawn first so she could choose any number and she took my classic "last" spot. She's number 13, and as you can see from this picture, gorgeous!

This is my #sharetherealmovement for the week. I got the kids new toys, and they loved them so much that they destroyed all 4 playing with them all night. One of them was a beanie baby, and the others were stuffed animals. Needless to say, we had stuffing and tiny beans all over the carpet everywhere. 

But on the bright side, at least I know they liked them!

This is Josie sleeping creepily with her eyes open. Sometimes she looks dead when she sleeps. 

This week I tried a hair doo that I saw on pinterest where you do your hair in 4 low braids and then cross them over the middle and pin them for a low up-do. It turned out pretty cute, although I can definitely make it better next time now that I know what I"m doing. Lol they kindof ended up looking lop-sided.

Holy cow this weather tho! I was so excited that I was driving with the windows down! And this weekend we actually had the AC on in the car! Yeesssssssssss

This is my 2 month-aversary of graduating and working!

This was our Saturday date night. The Utah Grizzlies hockey team did a "pooch on the pond" theme for the game on saturday. So people could bring dogs! It was so fun seeing all the other dogs. Jakey and Josie behaved themselves perfectly (I was so proud) and it was so fun to watch the game. It's such a fast-paced sport and it was so different/fun.

 It was so cool to see the other dogs around us at the game. Some had a hard time with it and others just acted like it was no big deal. They gave all the dogs Maverik bandanas too. 

Dallin is looking into starting at uvu in the summer again and finally finish his school. It's hard to make it work with his demanding job and schedule, but he wants to get going on it and I'm going to help as much as possible. I'm proud of him for constantly trying to improve himself and never giving up. He's inspiring to me because I never had a full time job in school, and even though he does and his time is very limited he's determined to get his degree. 

Saturday was such a nice day! It was almost in the 70's and sunny! So, we went on a walk, then we laid outside on the trampoline and talked, and then we went with Kevin and Britnee to the Tanner dog park by Parley's canyon. It was so so so fun!

It's so big that you walk for a long time on trails and there's rivers that the dogs can play in, and it's fully fenced so the dogs just run around and play with each other. We could tell they were both so happy. They stayed by us and didn't bark and behaved around the other dogs. 

It was cute seeing them interact with the other dogs. And I love the dog owner community. All the people are so nice and friendly to each other, and all the dogs always get along and we all have so much fun. I've noticed that the more you try to stifle dogs, the more they freak out, but when you just let them go be themselves and do whatever they want, they react a lot more responsibly than you'd think. They're more behaved when they have a little freedom. I wish more people gave dogs the trust they deserve so they don't have to be stifled and controlled all the time. 

This was the first time that Josie has been able to exercise a ton because before her surgery her knee always hurt, and then after she was still recovering. We let her run around as much as she wanted, and after our walk and then the dog park, she was so so tired. I had to carry her out because she was dying. hahaha she's such a princess.

Yes, I still have my waver from back in the day when they were popular! Hahaha I totally used it this week and it actually didn't end up looking that bad!

Today's sunday, and we slept in, went to breakfast, and the grocery store. Other than that we've been laying around recuperating from the busy day we had yesterday. Tonight we're having dinner with the fam and saying goodbye to ryan and shayle before they drive out to Arkansas tomorrow.
Next week is Valentines Day and I'm excited! (Only down-side is I have to work during the day, but  I'll be done by the afternoon and then we'll celebrate at night.)

This week I'm going to try a few new things with workouts, but other than that it'll be the same old same! 

Hope you're all doing great!
