My Rings!

Here are some pictures of my engagement ring and my wedding ring. To explain them a bit Joes mom wanted to pass down a ring to us and she thought it would be specail for him to propose with her ring and we get a separat ring for our wedding ring. Both are very special to me and I know I am really lucky I now have two very beautiful rings to wear for the rest of my life.

OH Charlie!

This is my new puppie Charlie! He is a Beagle and the cutest thing ever!!!!!!


Charlie and Trever are getting along great its so cute to watch them.

Hurricane IkE!!!!

So as you probably all know we had the winds from Hurricane Ike come through our area. I lost power and water for about 3 days and there is a lot of clean up involved. I can only imagine what Texas looks like right now. But the biggest thing that happened in the back yard at Joes house there is a tree that uprooted and fell over. I dont have pictures of it but it landed on the neighboors garage and crunched the front part of it This was incredible I should have stood next to it so you should see how big it is. It almost comes to the top of my head.
You can't really see it but the roots on the sides are totally snapped!
This is about the middle of the tree where it smashed the fence.

I'm Engaged!

This is as close as I could get to the ring
Just another picture of the ring
This is one of the many beautiful views of the lake we went to

Joe and I took this right before we left Lake Hope where we got engaged.

Girls Weekend Away

Day at the Pool

This was a big deal for Brooke to go down the big slide
Cody is so freakin cute
Joe can still do a one and a half and the kids love to see it
So we had some of the spray suncreen and it backfired on her. Good thing it didnt get in her eyesJoe just relaxing enjoying the water
They had to bring a football and throw it around
This is Joes mom she sat by the kiddy pool most of the time and hinted all day on how she wants another grandchild.
I know this is in here twice just didnt know how to take it out sorry
Brooklyn is getting pretty good at her backflip!

School

Here is a glimps of my school let me explain a little bit. This last week we did trigger points in your face and head. This inculded putting our fingers in eachothers mouths, using a q-tip to get a point up under the eye socket, and sticking our fingers up our noses to hit trigger points that open our nasal passages. Now you can all get a glimps of some of the girls I go to school with!

This is Brittney she is so cute I just love her.
Sabrina and I
This is one of our teachers showing us the finger up your nose
Believe it or not she got her finger up there more it was crazy
We started getting a little camera happy at this point.

Boating

Joe and I had a wonderful day out on the boat with one of his coworkers and his wife this last weekend. We got on the water at noon and didnt get out until 10 pm. He has a grill and even a potty on his boat so we could have stayed out there for days!

I was suprised that boat could pull both of us on a tube and that the tube didnt pop!
Joe loved driving the boat
In the event of a crash this would be Joes life vest
The men grilling our lunch it was so good.
Joe (who is my Joes coworker) and I had to go for one more swim

This guy had a good time he was doing backflips off the tube and while we where headed back in he just jumped off the back of the boat and suprised us all!

Sorry I couldnt figure out how to turn this picture so here you go with the sunset on its side

Happy Birthday Brooklyn!!!

We just had a big birthday bash for Brooklyn who just turned 10! Joe and I bought Cody and Brooklyn a trampoline for thier birthdays this year and it has been a big hit with both young and old. We had a ton of food and everyone had such a good time.

This is her birthday cake can you believe this thing it was so big!
The trampoline was a huge hit at the party and suprisingly no one got hurt. An adult fell off trying to step off but that was about it.

This was adorable the little kids turned our cellar door into a slide and didnt want to get off it.
She only had ten candles but it took some time to blow them out
Brook is so proud she can do a backflip this is her in action! This is Joes sister in law Laura she had a good time on the tramp too as you can see. She is also the one who fell off it was pretty funny.

Special Olympics

We volunteer at the Special Olympics for school and what we did was just go and give the athletes and coaches massages for a few hours it was so much fun to see them.


This is Andrew it was his birthday and he is showing us he can massage too it was so adorable.

This was the line waiting for a massage!
One of my good friends Jeni she is a great gal who helps me in class all the time
His name was Andy too so he just HAD to get a picture with me. He pretty much hung out by me for the next half hour just because we had the same name. I totally loved him
