New furniture!

Well it only took 2 weeks to get our furniture after we bought it, but it finally came! The next day everyone came over to test it out. We love all of it!! It's a microfiber sectional and a marble top table.



I look a bit scary, but it was a cute one of miss Haylee.

In the middle of trying out the couch, Grace decided that she didn't want to wear anything but her diaper. She then found the blanket and cuddled up underneath it.

Miss Keisha and little Sophie testing out the keyboard. That's the first place Keisha always goes when she comes over. She's a pretty musical girl.

Haylee with her 'pretties'.

Here's my mom, sister-in-law Ashley, and Mandy (with her baby girl #3!)

My Dad and Kyle just chillin'.

I guess Haylee didn't want to be held at the moment. Grace was up for a big cheese though!

And here's some views without anyone.


Isn't it so pretty?! We are still having a time with some of our pictures and boxes we have yet to unpack. We don't have as much room to put out some of our little display things, so that's what those boxes are still doing there. I keep forgetting that we have a table, and still just go and sit at the bar to eat. It'll take a while to get used to our new luxuries!

New Address!

Yep. We have moved to another apartment! Dustin, Sophie, Phoebe and I are no longer in building 9. We have moved on up to building 11! So tell your address book to change our digits! We made some upgrades along with more space- we now have internet in our home!! I know, I know. We are not as young and hip as we seem to be. We will even get a home phone pretty soon...cuz we kind of had to. We even went out and bought a new couch and dining table (because we didn't have room for one in our other place, just eatin at the bar). Pictures of those will come when they get delivered. :) We are super excited, so come and see our new home sometime! Our walls have not been decorated yet though. I need some help deciding what goes where and what to get rid of.

We will most likely be in this apartment until we are able to get a house and/or when we find out where Dustin will be working after graduation (which is this December!! woohoo!!). Give him a pat on the back- he's working really hard.

So clever

Dustin thought he was pretty clever for thinking of this. What does this make you think of?


Yep. Hot Dog and Bun. Funny one Dustin. Because she's a weenie dog.

And just so you'll get a glimpse of how Phoebe sleeps. She likes to get halfway under the kitchen counter and contort her body. She's a weird one.

Fun in the rain

It had been really rainy, and the dogs were getting cabin fever, so we decided that since they were due for their weekly bath we would take them out to the parking lot next to our apartments and let them run around inthe puddles and rain. I forgot my camera though! But here is an after picture. Sophie doesn't look like she's wet, but she actually is. They LOVED running in the puddles!



......and so did Dustin. He liked the puddles too.

...and here comes the suds. We found that bathing them in the sink was a little hard since they both are big now. We can contain them a little better this way!

Easter Egg Hunt

Mandy came home from Australia with little Grace and Haylee for a visit, so I was able to go to an Easter Egg hunt with them! They are such sweet girls. I just love them to pieces!

This is Marilyn Harline, the girl's grandma. Haylee absolutley couldn't get enough of the slide. Super cute.

Haylee finding a few eggs...

Grace loved walking around swinging her little basket.....Mandy and I called it a trash bucket because hers was tin and everyone else's was woven. She would pick up each egg one by one, open it, eat the candy inside, then throw the egg back down.

Phoebe found herself!

Okay, you'll have to go to the bottom of the page and pause the music to listen to this. Well Phoebe finally found herself in the mirror. Dustin was holding her on his chest when she realized there was another dog in the view across from her. She is the most stubborn, and definitely the funnier dog of the two. Sophie never cared for the dog in the mirror- I think she already was too good to believe it was another dog.

My surprise...

I came home from work one day to find this in the driveway...

I follow it into the back yard...


It is leading me into the kitchen...



and I find a very nicely set table....

with Dustin putting the finishing touches on a nice dinner.

He made us fettuccini alfredo, stuffed olives, cucumbers, garlic bread, and a salad with mandarin oranges, feta cheese, tomatoes , and spinach. Of course we had to have the sparkling grape juice! And for dessert he even baked a strawberry swirl cheesecake. It was soooo delicious! I asked him the reason ,and all he said was ' I haven't cooked you a nice dinner in a while'. That's it. No real reason. isn't he so sweet? We were actually house sitting here at my parents house, so we liked the fact of having a dining room table to eat at instead of a bar area with stools. Dustin even rented a movie so we could just relax for the evening. No, it was not a romantic chick flick. It was Eagle Eye. Pretty good action movie, but I fell asleep about half into it! I was so tired from the day! I sure love my Dustin and how he takes care of me. :)

Sunset & Bunkbeds

First off, isn't this view just awesome? I love watching sunsets. This is our view from our apartment balcony.. too bad we'll be facing the opposite way starting in May... at least we won't get the absurd afternoon Texas heat.

Okay, the other night I was looking around wondering where Sophie was, and I see a little nose peeking out from under her bed. Dustin had just taken Sophie and Phoebe out for their evening bathroom break, and it was actually pretty cold outside, so I guess Sophie came back in and crawled under her bed! She has never done that before! Aren't her ears hilarious all backwards? They look like bat ears- all inside-out-like.

Aahhhh, so good.

....and of course Phoebe wants to be as close to Sophie as possible. It was a funny scene to watch Phoebe keep walking over the top of Sophie trying to get comfy. I don't think she even noticed. It's kinda like a bunkbed I guess.
