Summer Vacation




We just got back from a week long trip through AZ. Last Friday, we headed to Phoenix to visit the family and go to the lake with the Pickards (you can check out our good Party Night times here). We hung out in the pool with Mom and Dad on Sunday and left that afternoon for wonderful Pinetop. Pinetop is definitely one of our favorite places to be. We enjoyed five whole days of gorgeous weather and relaxing... it was glorious.

We stayed with Ryan's grandmother at her house in the White Mountains. It's rainy there every day so during Cooper's afternoon nap, we just sat out on the porch and watched it rain. It depends what kind of vacationer one is, but for us, this was the greatest. We got massages and facials, we played in the spa, we went hiking in Greer, I read three books. We cannot thank Ryan's grandma enough for having us all week. She and Cooper got to play together and spend quality GG/great grandson time. It is such a joy to spend time with her.

I could say more, but you know what they say about pictures!

We Love You, Beach!



We spent our 4th of July weekend in California with a few friends. We stayed at a friends' house a few miles from the beach and got to spend all day Friday there!! Cooper was hilarious. At first he wouldn't get anywhere near the seaweed, going so far as to lift his knees off the sand and crab crawl around it. That only lasted for a few minutes, then he decided to start putting it on his head. Ryan and I got to hone our skills playing beach volleyball while Cooper frolicked about on the sand.

We really enjoy Encinitas and definitely did not want to be driving back to the 100 degree Las Vegas weather on Sunday.

Fast Friends...

We've had Charlie now for a few months and Tatum is still unsure of the purpose of another dog. She mostly stays away from the kitchen where Charlie is most of the time (and also where her food and litter box reside, but that's a story for another day). After much deliberation and thoughtful consideration... I decided it would be best to just put Tatum in the same spot as Charlie and let Charlie sniff and lick away. He is a horribly lovable dog and never goes after Tatum. I think he would prefer it most if she just cuddled up next to him while he napped... but instead, we get a lot of hissing and long, drawn out meows that make it sound like she is dying inside. I decided it would be best to document the beginnings of a beautiful friendship.



I mean, she doesn't look THAT mad. For the first time tonight, she approached the kitchen entrance and sniffed around. But Charlie got excited and sniffed louder; it's a half sneeze, half sniff. She ran away. They'll get over it.
