A special outing...

Jeter had a very special outing on Saturday. He was a guest at Katrina and Jeff's new place for the day. Brandon and I made our way out to Orange County to search for a new place to live and then we had plans to go to Huntington Beach to celebrate my beautiful friend Brittany's birthday. It would have been a long time to leave Jeter at home by himself so Katrina happily volunteered to watch him for us (he's still only 11 weeks old). He was a good little boy for her! She sent me pictures throughout the night to let me know how he was doing. He was being very helpful when Ewan was taking a bath and kept Katrina company when she was on the computer; he was so generous to fall asleep on the part of the keyboard that she didn't need to use. He had a great time Katrina! Thank You!

(He also met some very special friends, Tom and Samantha, who live in the same complex as Katrina)

Can't get much better...

The time change was in our favor, the weather was perfect, the fire was started, friends and family were gathered, what a great way to celebrate Spring! We had a big Argentine BBQ on Sunday and we could not have asked for a better day! In honor of our first BBQ of the year, I made a request for our friends Lissy, Ernie, and baby Vincent to come down and grub; they happily obliged. They brought with them some delicious queso fresco and some amazing choco flan. What a treat! We love our friends! Thanks dad for cooking such an

amazing meal!

Great Friends

I made some changes to our blog and started a list of things we are doing in the future. The first thing on our list was bowling with Lindsay and Ian. We were so looking forward to a fun evening until we arrived at the bowling alley and they told us that there was some kind of leak and they weren't opening any lanes. Instead of wasting the night, we decided to improvise. We got some yummy drinks at the Yardhouse and our great friends shared their wealth of free movie tickets and treated us to a movie. We finally got to see Alice in Wonderland! It was superb night filled with so much laughter!

We love you two and baby!

Oldies but goodies

It is a running joke that when Jeff and Katrina move, Jeff is constantly trying to give stuff away because Katrina likes to keep everything, I'm assuming for sentimental values but I'm not sure. Katrina, what's the reason?! ;) Anyways, Jeff tried to give us bookshelves, clothes, a golf bag, furniture, and his tv (Katrina said a big "no" to the tv giveaway). We ran away with a computer screen, a neon sign, and this perfectly framed picture!

This was the day we went to the KZLA bash with them, Corey, Alex, and Katrina's friend Mary and her boyfriend. Saying that we had a blast that day would be an understatement. Never have we had so much fun at a concert. We were all cowboys and cowgirls for the day.
Great memories!

If you look closely at the top picture of Jeff and Katrina, you will see that Jeff's hat is signed by *SheDaisy!

Shout out to my nephew

I have this picture as my Facebook profile picture and I absolutely love it! His smile brings me such joy! I treasure the moments that I get to spend with my sweet little nephew.

This is a shout out to you, Ewan! I love you bunches!

Rise and Shine!

This is my new wake up call! A little puppy sitting right on top of me just waiting for me to open my eyes so we can play. I used to wake up to a very annoying alarm clock on my phone but now I have Jeter licking my face. This little puppy makes us so happy!

Puppy Love

Introducing... JETER!
(Yes, after Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees)

Jeter is an 8 week old Yorkie-Poodle who is full of love for his new mommy and daddy! We have been awaiting his arrival for about 6 weeks now and this weekend we were finally able to bring him home. He was quiet the first night, but the second day he became his spunky self and made himself right at home. He loves being cuddled and just wants to play ALL day! He is already so spoiled and we love him very much!

More snow pictures

Here are some more pictures from our fun day at the snow!

Day of love

I haven't updated in awhile because, like my previous post states, we haven't been doing much; just staying in. Yesterday was Valentine's Day and we were debating going to the beach or the snow. I love California because you can actually have a choice! We decided snow and had a wonderful time! We went with 2 out of 3 sets of Lohman's (Katrina, Jeff, Ewan & Mark & Peggy) and Tarisa.

The day consisted of:

...Getting half bundled up because it was a warm day...

...Hiking through the snow to find a prime sledding spot...

...Ewan eating snow...

...Brandon being a mountain man...

...Encouraging Peggy to have some sledding fun...

...Congratulating Peggy on some great sledding moves...
...Brave sisters sledding down the hill linked together...

...Having a super strategic snowball fight...

...Moving to the next prime spot...

...Setting up camp...

...Everyone taking a ride with Ewan in the sled...

...Brandon flying down the mountain...

...Brandon getting major air...

...Brandon almost breaking his back...

...Yet another snowball fight with some hard hitters...

...Cleaning up camp...

...Hiking back through the snow...

...Hugs and kisses goodbye...

...A long drive home...

Puppy Update

We talked to our breeder yesterday and she informed us that we could bring home our little puppy next weekend if he is at a big enough weight! She said he is so cute and everybody just loves him. She also told us that many people have inquired about him as they come by to look at her other puppies but he is all ours! We can't wait to have our little puppy to play with everyday.

Nothing much to say...

I keep trying to think of something to write about, or write about what's going on in our lives but there is nothing. Its hard to find something to say when you are laying low and staying in. We have spent almost every night, the past week, at home. We are trying to catch up on tivoed shows and just be with each other. We are officially hooked on 24 and always look for a movie to watch every evening. I will catch you up when we return to the real world soon!

A new addition

We finally got a dog! We have been searching for a dog for a long time and I am so excited we finally found one. Unfortunately, he is at the breeder still because he is too little to take home. He is only 3 weeks old, but we have been visiting him and spending time with him.

He is such a sweet little puppy and we cannot wait to take him home.

Brandon is beyond is excited,

he came home the other day with a little doggie bed.

This little puppy is going to have a loving home with us.

Brandon loves me

This is a picture of me and Brandon on the plane ride home back to California. We look like a hot mess! We were so tired and ready to get back to our own bed. We were at the airport waiting to depart and I mentioned to Brandon that I love traveling with him because I always feel safe and I told him how much I love him for taking care of me. He says back to me, in the sweetest way possible, sorry sweetie but I don't like traveling with you. You are cranky and you get motion sickness all the time. I started laughing so hard because it is so true! But he went on to say that he still loves me!
I'm a lucky girl.

New Years Day

This was, by far, my favorite day of our whole trip. Of course we all woke up late because of the night before but once we got moving we had a lovely day. It seemed everyone was checking out of their hotels or staying inside because the streets were nice and quiet (by New York standards anyway). We started off downtown at Wall Street admiring all the beautiful architecture and enjoying the gorgeous weather; this was the one day it didn't snow. We saw the exquisite Trinity church and admired the statue of liberty. The best part of the whole day was spending time in Central Park. The four of us then walked to one of Rob's favorite dive bars to watch football, eat good food, and relax. Later on that evening, we made our way up to Rob's apartment to watch a movie and say our goodbyes. At about midnight, Brandon and I hopped in a cab and headed back to our hotel. The next morning we packed up our stuff and left the greatest city in the world and headed back to sunny California.
