Engagement pictures...

so I took a few pictures for Amanda and Erick's engagement announcements and this is what we got! These are just a few of my favorites... they were such a good and easy couple to photograph. Can't wait for the big day... love ya guys.

what a cute couple...

Well today is my birthday and I turned 26!!! holy s***! I'm getting old fast... I remember when I turned 19 that felt like not that long ago. Time just seems to be flying, I seriously thought I was turning 25.

I had to work today... that sucked... oh well!! Daniel took me out to lunch @chilli's. I haven't been there for a long time. It was goood!!! I had some yummy shrimp fajitas... ummm! My mouth is watering right now! hahaha!!

Ethan and Grant were there too... those guys crack me up, the stuff they say!


I also got a free dessert there... that was pretty cool! I love strawberry cheesecake. Doesn't that look delicious?

After work we had a little BBQ at the house nothing big, we just grilled up a nice piece of salmon fillet that Ethan brought back from Alaska... that was tasty!

Thanks Ethan you rock!

I had a pretty nice b-day for the most part. I still just can't believe that I'm now 26. I'm starting to feel old. I'm almost the big 30... it makes me feel old especially when I see my friends or relatives with 2, 3, kids! wow!!! Is something wrong with us, we're just not ready! Maybe in a couple more years, we keep saying that, but time just flies by!

SO YOu Think you can RiDE!

This is Grant bike, I think he's selling it and TC thinks he might buy it!

He thinks he's soo cool!! I personally think that our bike is better and he should buy more of a muscle bike instead of a punk kid bullet bike! It's a sweet bike, but TC needs a new image.. LOL!

oUR NEW SUMMER chill out place!!

so we got rid of the hot tub and now have this awesome place to hang out! We went to Walmart and splurged on this umbrella, well not really, it was on sale! It feels so good to just be able to chill in the back patio on a hot summer day like this. Like I've said before we totally love our backyard, it's so inviting!

I'm now waiting for the patio furniture to go on sale some more and we will have the perfect little hang out place! Daniel loved the idea of the tiki torches... I wish we bought maybe 3 more.

The trampoline got brought in closer to the house, I think I like that better.

UFC fights are kick***!!!

Last night we went over to Jeremy and Starla's for a little BBQ and some UFC fighting... we had such a good time! The boys were being wild like they always are when they get together. Starla made the yummiest corn bread salad... and she very willingly gave me her recipe! Thanks girl!

Cristina's twin Nicole was also there... she's a sweetheart just like her sister. I got to know Brenna and Cameron a little bit better, they're pretty cool! Matt's crazy ass was there too. Javier and Nichole came over as well... and you can't forget Brad and Trevor. We stayed up soo late, but we had a lot of fun hanging out!

GOTTA LOVE THE 4TH!

We stayed home for the fourth, cleaned house and got rid of the hot tub. Now we have more patio space in the back and we love it! Aaron, Christina and Nicole (Christina's twin) came over and we ended up having a little BBQ nothing big, it was fun!! Later that night Daniel and I rode the V-Maxx down to the river to watch the fireworks! I love riding the motorcycle on warm summer nights!!! I love it!!!

We met up with Aaron again, Jeremy and his wife were there and I met Brad's wife. I did not know that he had 3 kids and one on the way! WOW!! The fireworks were kinda lame this year... I don't know, this year just hasn't been the same. I do love the fourth of July, I think maybe next year we should buy a ton of fireworks and just stay home! YOu should of seen Daniel, Jeremy, Aaron and Brad all playing with the fireworks that Jeremy had... seriously they were like little kids...so excited and full of joy. Daniel burned his hand but he kept at it...BOys they're CRaZy!!!
