A Girls Best Friend

On July 25th was Shawn's Birthday! For his birthday he got a new coffee table to go with his new furniture:) He insisted on no cake but rather brownies, and we had steaks for dinner!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAWN!!

Since it was his birthday and all I decided to list 10 reasons why Shawn is my BEST FRIEND!

1. He loves to play with the littles and they love him! (I think Katelyn might even have a crush on him!)



2. He has a great sense of humor, and is always doing things just to make me laugh.

3. He always has my back. Even if I start talking big he steps up for me.

4. He makes goofy faces in all the pictures I take because he hates pictures. Yet he still does it for me.





5. He always knows just what to say to make my bad days better.

6. He is very handy around the house and when it comes to car repairs. (I think he is most attractive when he is being handy and fixing things!)



7. He has a SEXY CAR!! (That is afterall the only reason I agreed to go on a first date with him.)

8. When ever he sees or talks to Mom he always makes sure to start it off with, "Hey Baby"

9. He SPOILS me!




10. He is older and wiser than me.. HE IS ALMOST 30!! AN OLD MAN!! (He loves it when I remind him!)

The Real Reason..

I must confess.. The reason I moved to Boise has nothing to do with Shawn, new beginnings, or even cause I liked Boise.. The real reason is...



About a year ago Shawn ran the idea past me about moving to Boise with him if he ever got his job back. I thought long and hard and decided I couldn't ever ever live that far from my family. I don't like change. He tried to talk me into it over and over again.. I was firm in my NO.. That was until he promised me a NICE pair of sunglasses.. I CAVED.

I have never been able to have an expensive pair of sunglasses. Not because i couldn't afford them because I did waste a lot when I was younger (ask my mom).. I could not get them simply because of the littles. Expensive nice things and kids do not mix.. My dilemma was solved when the little filthy careless fingers would be hours away, and the glasses would be free to me!:)

Though these sunglasses cannot fully make up for the time I am missing with my family and the comfort of knowing my mom is only a 30 min drive away, I do look pretty dang good in them.. THANKS SHAWN!

Being far from my family i decided to start blogging again... As most of you know i recently moved to BOISE!! i love it here! There is always something going on downtown and the social life is amazing.. well so i have heard i haven't really made any friends yet.. Therefore i have plenty of time to blog:)

My favorite thing so far about my move is... THE HOUSE BEING CLEAN!! my last place i lived the roommates were not so clean to say the least, i was always cleaning up after them.. And let me tell you it got real old real quick! I still do most of the cleaning but Shawn is not a messy person so i am just fine with that. Everyone has been asking for pics of our new place so that is just what i am gonna do!!














I finally got to my strawberries before the squirrels did this time! i was so excited and it was delicious!! We just got the furniture (the love seat is still on its way!) Shawn is so proud of his furniture.. he is definitely a dork about it!

There will be NO PUPPY LOVE from us...

Puppies are supposed to be fun and cute and just fun.. RIGHT?

Our roommates surprised us with a puppy one day!! PERFECT!! It for sure was the best thing they could do for our "miss communication" Apparently if you ask one of us... That means we both say yes.. But we do give them credit they half assed the communication process this time.. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks?!?

Dogs inside are not our favorite things ever. But you know what we could have lived with it... IF it was 1. potty trained... 2. quiet... 3. didn't bother us... We surely didn't think that was too much to ask about... OF course we were so wrong!!

Their idea of taking the dog out to go is... YES! Simply putting him out on our balcony to go... Any one else vote this is NASTY... Now we can no longer walk out barefoot to just get fresh air.. No more relaxing outside or Kelsey's favorite eating breakfast while watching the sunrise and prepping her mind for another hard day at school. Even walking barefoot inside is taking a risk...

After coming home from work and school we like to come home put our feet up relax and maybe even nap. The puppy has put a halt on that. When the roomies leave to go to work they leave the puppy in their bathtub. It cries for hours.. That is all you can hear even over our tv.. And even worse they leave their music up loud in there which only adds to the problem.. It in no way helps the situation. If you call us during their work hours you will be able to hear the pleasent sound loud and clear through the phone! Now isn't that exciting!!

I want to feel cool and finally write something on this while Dawni cooks dinner right now!! I love food! I really have no idea how to do anything on this so hi everyone!! Just can't wait for finals to be over!! I need a job so if anyone has any ideas just let me know!! Thanks!! Kelsey a.k.a the cool one!

Family Fun

For years we have been deemed a job.. a good one at that too... WE are the FAMILY EASTER BUNNY!! Every year we have a family Easter egg hunt.. Well it technically has no Easter eggs.. and well there is no hunt either.. just lots and lots of.. CANDY!

It is our favorite time of the year! Hunter begged to help us this year.. BUT NO! it is just our job! haha.. Its our job to throw the candy all over the lawn.. This year we did cut back on the candy so it didn't cover the lawn as much as it usually does... But there still was A LOT!



The lawn was still covered pretty good.. The cousins love this time and even the "Grown ups" turn into kids cause they can't resist the candy. They join in and pick up their favorites too!

Most of the cousins had a pretty good selection of candy.. But Ryan and Katelyn with the help of Jordan and Kelsey got the most.. Their bags were so full they could hardly carry them themselves.


Afterward we all sat around talked and had fun as a FAMILY! We all teased and joked around.. It was just a fun afternoon with the ones we love for Grandpa's Birthday!!

Its the end of they world as they know it....

We have had it!! ROOMMATES ARE RIDICULOUS!! Ok some are fine.. Well not ours.. They crossed the line this time.. FOR REALS!!

Last night there were giggles and laughs coming from the kitchen from our dear old roomies... Thinking nothing of it... Kelsey wakes up this morning to... Dun DUN DUN... all of our food, pots, pans, dishes, cups, cookbooks, EVERYTHING moved.. scrunched into a few cupboards.. We are nice girls.. you ask us "Hey we maybe need some more room.. Will you please make some more room." Hey you know what you scratch our backs.. We go above and beyond, scratch and even TICKLE yours..

If you know us you surely know you don't mess with us.. Of course we were angry we also only get one shelf of the fridge.. My milk might give theirs some COOTIES!! AHHH!! anything but that! Kelsey's Pop tarts were MIA and so she had all the right to be a little angry searching for them.. and those girls had the nerve to text her and say you cant be mad we pay rent too...

OH goodness gracious!! its the COOTIE FOOD!! ahhh

You know we wouldn't have cared about moving our stuff really.. But where they purposely did it behind our backs and were laughing about it.. THAT is when we get a little upset...One of them used to have her one plate, bowl and cups on one shelf.. and we USED to have a few cans of food and jello packets... oh no no no that was too much for her to have on one shelf (even though they all fit very well).. Now it is a plate, bowl, and cups all on their own shelves.. Do you think items could be claustrophobic???!! OH MY THAT HAS GOT TO BE IT!!....

THIS FOLKS IS A ONCE AND A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY!!!!

THE CLAUSTROPHOBIC PLATE.... DUN DUN DUN

They even went to the measures of now labeling their cupboards.. Can you say WOW!! The funny thing is they are stabbing themselves in the back and they will soon know it.. if they are gonna label everything and be that way.. hey we will top it.. This is our new motto: "IF you stab us in the backs.. WE WILL cut your eyes out!" haha Not really that bad but they did it to them selves...

Conveniently all the dish towels, silverware, measuring utensils, soap, and all that kind of stuff.. Well guess who that all belongs to... DAWNI AND KELSEY! WOW isn't that cool.. We decided that if they want to play this childish game.. oh boy we will play! Our things are now going into a labeled drawer labeled:

ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH MENTALITY ABOVE THAT OF A FIVE YEAR OLD!

HINTS for our B-DAY

As many of you know our birthdays are coming up.. Today we ventured to the mall and found exactly what we wanted for our BIRTHDAYS!! Brace your selves.. We all know you will want them too...

YAY!! PERFECT PINK PANTS!! Dawni found them and wanted them so badly and Kelsey practically walked away crying because she did not get the lime green ones!! So HINT HINT if you are wondering..

p.s. THIS IS A WARNING... PANTS LIKE THESE REALLY WILL NOT BE APPRECIATED!!
