July 2010

July, July...you went by too quickly!!!! I think I was wishing it away b/c I was so looking forward to our vacation in August. Sadly, July ending means that summer is coming to an end as well. :( Sadly as summer passes, I took less pictures. Here's what happened this month...

~July 1st, we got Miss Finley!!!!! Michelle and Devin went to NYC for their anniversary trip and we got to keep Finley for half their trip! It was so fun!!!!! She was so sweet and good and very easy!!!!! We played inside most of the time b/c it rained quite a bit. We got outside when we could though. She just loved Ruger!!!! Every night before bed and every morning, she would sit on the couch with me, put a blanket over her, and pat the couch next to her and say, "dog. pees? ("please")"....b/c she wanted Ruger to sit next to her. It was so cute. I think I taught her a bad "habit". She LOVED watching little TV shows on Nickalodeon and Disney. She hadn't really watched a lot of TV, but she was so cute....she go into a daze watching it and then just start laughing and dancing....and then back to the daze. It was pretty funny! We had so much fun and can't wait for her next visit!
~Our 4th of July was pretty uneventful. I drove Finley to her grandparents house. Then came home in the rain. And thats about it.
~This little guy hung around our house A LOT!!!! I think there was a "she" also. They had to have had a next somewhere.....but it was so fun to have roadrunners running around the house! ~We went to Tulsa and had dinner with Tia and Taylor. It was the first time we'd seen them since their wedding....and they were leaving for their belated honeymoon the next day. We had a really good time with them and catching up!
~We went to Tulsa for Ken to take a class. While he was in class, I hung out with friends. I met Cindy and her kids, Gavin and Ella, at Incredible Pizza with my nephew, Caleb. It was fun to see them, but not the ideal girl-time we had in our head. It was craziness!!!! The kids had a good time though. Next time, I think Cindy and I will plan something for just the two of us. :) ~I also was able to see my sweet friend (and college roommate), Rachel and her kids, Jake and Kate. We had a great time visiting. I just love her and miss her so very much! We went to The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino....I wasn't that impressed. I thought it would be nicer....like Vegas....but NO! It was fine...but wouldn't rush back. ~We got to see my mom's sister and her family....Steve, Julie, Hannah, Gracie and Hill. It was so good to see them and I was glad we were all in Tulsa at the same time.
~My cousin, Sarah, had her little baby!!!! So sweet!!!! His name is Houston!
~My friend Theresa had her 40th b-day and her husband threw her a surprise party!
~Arbonne Party for my neice, Raley, and all her friends. It was fun to play in the make-up and teach them about skin care. Caleb and Cannie were such a big help! Caleb even drew signs for me. The one below is for Arbonne's FC5 line! :) ~Ken and I went back to Tulsa for another class he was taking. This time I was able to see some friends that I haven't seen in forever!!!! We had dinner at Los Cabos and it was wonderful!!!! I'm so thankful that we were all able to get together again....and they were able to meet Ken for the first time. ~I also got to meet sweet Adrienne the next morning. She's adorable and I love seeing my friends as parents...its such a sweet blessing! ~My mom and I enjoyed a nice, relaxing day at the pool. We just laid out and talked and enjoyed the quietness.
~Mercedes Test Drive!!!!! This is such a fun Arbonne event!!!! At the 3rd promotion, consultants get a company car!!!! And it just happends that Arbonne's company car of choice is the mercedes!!!! :) We had a short meeting, test drove some cars/SUV's and then had a great dinner at Zio's!!!
~I started ZUMBA again....and my friend Tashia has been going with me!
~Kenny and I our 2-year "the day we met" anniversary!!!! :)
~We LOVED watching the Bachelorette!!!! We love Ali!!!!! And we LOVE that she picked Roberto!!!! I have to say that if she had picked Chris, we wouldn't have been disappointed either. We loved both of the her top two....which is a FIRST!
~Celebrated my friend Kari's birthday with sushi!
~Double date with Tracy and Gerald
~I finally got my closet all organized!!!!!
~Cookout with the McGuire's
~Project Runway started its new season!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!
~Celebrated our pastor's 25th year at church!!!! We love him and are so blessed to know him!
~This is what summer looks like from our deck:
~And this was about 30 minutes after the pictures above....a storm was moving in and it was COOL! ~Watching "Pretty Little Liars". I thought I would quit watching it, but I got sucked in. It was like a drug and I couldn't stop! Its pretty good....I like all the girls and the fashion, of course.
~"Rizzoli and Isles" premiered and I like it! I like most cop shows, so it wasn't a huge surprise....plus I really like the two actresses in it.
~LOVE "Covert Affairs" which also premiered this month. LOVE IT!
~I tried to watch Jillian's new show....and we did for a few weeks, but I haven't watched it in awhile and I don't feel like I'm missing anything....BUT, I'm still looking forward to the next season of "The Biggest Loser".
~And, I'll close with a picture of my sweet, baby Ruger! I just love him!!!! He's so fun and I love our little routine we have! :)
