Summer is Here

    It's a little more challenging finding the time to blog with two kids! Especially when one of them doesn't like to take daytime naps. So not only am I finding it hard to get to sit down to type out a blog update, I'm also finding it hard to come up with the brain power to write something! 

A Rainy Day At The Park

      We probably picked the worst day in the past two months to go to the park. It was rainy, chilly, super muddy, and rainy. But despite all that we bundled up, dawned our rain gear, and headed to the park.

He's Here ; The 9 Months

   It's crazy everything that can happen in just nine months. The time is takes for a little human to grow and be born inside of you seems like forever and also no time at all. Some days time just crawls by, and then one day (or middle of the night) you wake up and wonder where time has gone. It seems like just yesterday you were looking at that positive pregnancy test, having a minor anxiety attack, wondering how you're possibly going to be able to wait 9 more months to meet your baby!

Park Trails

 Yesterday our little family hit the park trails and enjoyed a beautiful day outside. Fresh air, green grass, running water, cool temperatures, bluebonnets by the millions.... a little slice of heaven!

Bluebonnets Are Here!

  I got Ashlyn and the dogs to sit in the bluebonnets the other day. The pictures turned out great. I think I had  to take a couple hundred to get these few. But hey, it's worth it. :)

Pictures of Cuteness

  You know you can't resist! I have such adorable human and furry children. I love them all. Especially when they pose for photos.

A Walk A Day

  Everyday Ashlyn and I take a walk.... usually it's just around the block, but sometimes we pack up the stroller with some snacks, leash up Roque and head out for a long walk around the neighborhood.

In Other News

     Because I have an instagram account for my boy Roque, I now have a TON of photos of him... Which is great because I really haven't taken many photos of my animals recently. Either I'm too busy taking photos of Ashlyn or I'm too busy cleaning the house. One or the other usually makes up the majority of my time on a daily basis.

Georgia, Weddings, Horses, and more!

A lot has been going on since I last posted on here! For example, hubby and I just got home from Augusta, Georgia where hubby was a groomsman in a friend's wedding.

  Yup, I'm one of THOSE pet parents. I made an Instagram account for my boy! Quick! Go follow him!

Some Updates

   I know, I've been a bad blogger. That's okay though. My mission in life has been to simplify my day to day. To take a step back and examine what my life really consists of. What's important, what's not. To prioritize.

Rainy Days

   I love rain. love rain. I probably love rain so much because I live in Texas and rain is such a scarce thing here. We can go months at a time without a drop, with temperatures way above 100 degrees some days. So when we have rain, we enjoy it!

Beautiful Weather

  It's been absolutely beautiful here in Austin, Texas for the last few days. Mostly because of the amazing glorious rain, and secondly because of the much cooler weather. This morning I had to wear a sweater outside!! Of course, 70 degrees is practically winter to us Texans.

Vegas x Roque Litter Update

  Well! I sent out an email to my puppy buyers and got back a few updates! I'm really excited to get to see these darling little fluff balls that I raised grow up to be such lovely dogs and family members.

Canine Pneumonia ...... ? Part III

    I KNOW you all have been just DYING for an update on Roque. Well, here it is... For all his adoring fans and those that have been there for me through this rough patch.

Canine Pneumonia ......? Part II

  That weekend was one of the longest of my life while I anxiously awaited the arrival of the test results, and watched my pup suffer the effects of whatever was attacking his immune system. Monday took forever to arrive. And even then the results weren't available until nearly 5pm!

Canine Pneumonia ..... ? Part I

   It was Friday morning the 18th around 10am when I noticed something was terribly wrong with my 2 year old Australian Shepherd, Roque. I didn't even need to take his temperature, or check his gums, or listen to his lungs to know something was very very wrong. It was all in his eyes.

Temporary Heaven & Blog Milestones

   After a couple weeks of packing we have finally moved to our new temporary home.. Though temporary, it is a welcome change from the three plus years of apartment life. We've only been here for less than a week, and I'm so excited about the future time here!

Last Weekend - Part IIII

   Sunday Afternoon - was the day of the AAAS March Meetup! (Austin Area Australian Shepherds). Hosted at the beloved Action Pack Dog Center's pool, in Round Rock, TX. Also, the evening brought a special fundraiser event for the The Joyful Horse Project in Lakeway, TX.

Last Weekend - Part III

  Sunday Morning - So after a late night out partying with friends, Hubby and I slept in lllaaatttteeee the next morning... Until 10am! Whoop! Yes, I really am excited about a ten am morning. I haven't slept past 8am in a year and a half. I LOVE sleeping in.
