Weekly Round-Up: Aug 19-25

1. We had to "suit up" to visit our step-mom, Kim, in the hospital. She gave us quite a scare this week but seems to be doing much better now. She was released from the hospital today but still has some healing to do. 
We just ask that everyone continues to keep her in your thoughts & hope for a quick recovery!

2. Hank has had the luxury of being put in a pen, rather than a crate during the day. 
We finally bought him a crate because even with bricks around the pen, he moved that thing around everywhere. 
He hates his new crate. HATES. 
I swear that Satan himself has come out of his butt every single day in that thing. 
When I told him to get in his crate, he looked at me & then crammed himself in Comet's crate instead. 
He can't fit in there without sitting & curling up. He can't even walk into the thing. It's more like an army crawl but there was no way he was getting in his crate to be alone all day. 
Needless to say, it was so precious that I didn't bother arguing. 
He loves his tiny brother so much.

3. I've still been working on cleaning/organizing/throwing away the house.
This was my Sunday afternoon project: 
aka do something with the old bedroom/awkward room/dog room/music room/bicycle? room.
I was going to get rid of that table, filing cabinet AND mirror but look at me being all "reuse & recycle"...or whatever.
I took the big drawer out of the filing cabinet & removed the rolling track.
Now it's the perfect size to hide my big caboodle & hair products.
The table was my Grandma Audrie's. It's in pretty rough shape & used to have a V-shaped shelf right in the middle that just made it awkward. I took off the shelf & already have plans to reuse those.
I will eventually be sanding & painting it as well.
& yes, I did hang a mirror in between our double windows.
Lets face it. Natural light is the BEST to get ready in front of.

4. Ryan had his first band practice for a cover band that our buddy Matt is putting together.
I'll be honest & say that I'm excited because I could listen to Tommie sing all day & because well... it pays.



All I really care about right now is getting to New Mexico in November.
Vacation is calling to us so strong right now & we're focusing on saving every penny until then.
I can't wait to feel that cold mountain air in my hair & lungs.

Weekly Round-Up: June 10-16

1 & 2. We took Hank to the canal to walk & he was so excellent. He made us so proud.
We also ran into a lady with a dog who walked away as soon as we said the words "pit bull".
3. Got to see David Ramirez at the Blue Door again. Perfect as always. That man is pure talent.
4. Porch night with some of our favorite people & Jeremy even got to come!

5. Father's Day breakfast with my wonderful step-dad, Preston, at Cracker Barrel.
6. Broke out the grill for the first time this year for some kabobs!
7. Finally getting around to watch Game of Thrones & ohmygosh.
8. Ryan & his dad, Warren, after lunch yesterday for Father's Day!
9. Warren started teaching Ryan how to ride a motorcycle on his Harley. It was so cute & exciting!

Weekly Round-Up: Mar 29-Apr 4

This week has been one thing after another.
Have we even sat down this week?
I'm not sure.

I'm trying something new to keep this alive.
Weekly Instagram Round-Up from mine & Ryan's phone too!
1. Ollie is a singer. 2. Max & Ryan playing piano. 3. Hungover breakfast made by my husband. 
4. Black Canyon show which caused #3. 5. My boys. 6. Max loves crayons. 
7. Chain wallets are back in our household. 8. Is that an adult dog? 9. We were grumpy. 
10. My hair is long 11. All Max wanted was his Uncle Ryan's love. 12. Hank, QUIT GROWING!

What I didn't get in picture form:
Easter came & we enjoyed our afternoon at Ryan's parents.
I love our meals & time spent there.
There are few places where I'm just as comfortable as I would be in my own home
& their house is one of those places.
It's probably because they've always made me feel like 
I'm just as much their child as the ones they raised
& there's not a better feeling than that.

Take a Listen: Black Canyon

I know I've talked about them before but if you haven't already,
you should check out
& not just because he's my cousin.
His CD release show was Saturday night @ VZD's
& he did a fantastic job.
His talent never ceases to amaze me.
As Ryan says, outlaw country lives through him.
You can also check them out on Facebook if that's your thing.
Now go spend $10 & buy his new album.
