Graduation!

My little sister graduated this Saturday. It was an awesome morning, I even got sun burnt, we are all so proud of her! The party was in the evening. We had everything set up outside, it was gorgeous and perfect... and then it started hailing and pouring rain. We got most of the decor inside in time, but the table linens were drenched. My dad and husband had to drain them in 5 gallon buckets and then put them in the dryer. We stalled my sister for a while and set up inside. It wasn't what we wanted, but she was so happy anyway :) so I guess it all turned out ok.

The table decor

Her artwork displayed

Posters of her Theater work

The welcome table, the take out box was her card box (because she loves all things japanese) and we displayed all her awards. Oh and there were fortune cookies!

Her awesome, fun cake. It was delicious by the way!

The guest of honor!

We are so proud of her. She already has so much talent. She is going to the Art Program at Northern Colorado University this fall :) I know she will do great.

Time to have some summer fun!

We picked up our new go cart this weekend. A steal at only $250. The only part it needs is a front shock, as you can see the left front tire is bowed in, making it incredibly hard to steer. We still took it for a spin anyway, and dad enjoyed it as well! We look forward to getting the part and then having a blast at the track by our house all summer!

And yes, we fit that huge thing in Jeffs little tiny toyota, and actually made it home!

More summer fun stories to come soon! We are getting ready to set up our above ground pool. When it was put into storage 2 years ago it wasn't stored correctly, and so it's going to take some elbow grease to get clean and set up. Plus Jeffs brother lost the clips so we have to get creative and use bolts to put it all together! AH

Tattoos!

Jeff and I are tattoo addicts, I have 6 now and he has 10. It's like we can't stop getting them, and we found a really great artist that custom draws everything exactly how we picture it in our heads.

This is Jeffs newest tattoo, it's a Zombie robot on his arm

The artist touched these up because they were fading pretty badly.

My footprints/pawprints to obviously represent my love for animals :)

Star on neck

Marilyn Manson emblem on shoulder

Heart with keyhole (jeff has the key on his wrist)

Koi on hip (my favorite of my tattoos)

My newest, sparrow in gorgeous clouds on my calf

Anniversary Trip to Mexico

I am going to try and get caught up on the blog, it's probably going to take weeks. Jeff and I celebrated our one year anniversary Sunday May 16th. To celebrate we took a trip to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We stayed at the Grand Sunset Princess, All Inclusive Resort. It was incredible! We had fun on the beach, rode a Jet Ski and fell off in the middle of the Ocean, went to Xcaret and swam in the underwater river, held Macaws, went to downtown Playa and spent way to much money, drank a ton at Senor Frogs, drank way too much at the resort, went to the club, did the macarena, had the worst hangover of all time, and overall loved it!

International travel is different, but I'm so glad we got to experience it! It also made us appreciate the USA sooooo much! Things are so different here and I am grateful for it.

The new house!

We moved into our new home about a month ago (yes, it took me that long to post this)!
We are loving it! It has so much extra room and a huge yard for our dogs. It's pretty modern, and there are only a couple things we want to do to it (updates on those projects to come soon). It's in a much better neighborhood than we've ever been in, and I'm only 5 minutes from work!
