Missing My Tis Tis

Erika... When is our next vacay?

I am so excited for Mexico with this little sister!!

Baby Dogs

I am not sure how it is humanly possible to love your puppies the way that I do. I love my puppies as if my life depended on it. They are such good dogs and give me their unconditional love everyday.

Dance

Erika found this picture of Cassie and I. I have vivid memories of this day. We were dancing at Red Butte Gardens, it was warm outside, the air was fragrant with smells of spring and I was with  my sisters. Love you ABCE

I love this weather

Sad Day

So I joined Google + a few weeks ago and noticed it was sharing a bunch of pictures that I had not posted and had no idea where they were coming from, so natrually I deleted the album. Well long story short I guess that album was all the pictures from my blog and now all the picutres from my blog are gone and can not be revovered. I am sad because now I can't go back and read my old posts with pictures. I am going to stay positive and just move forward.. but I still really sad.

My Garden

My Garden is in full swing. We had a few issues... but it is the first year so I am ok with that.

Cool Weeds in the yard

Cuties baby carrot ever!

Shout out to Cassie

Congratulations to my amazingly talented sister Cassie. You have spent the last three years working your butt off, many lost days from no sleep, stress, and loneliness but you made it. You are done and now have that silly little piece of paper that says you are an official graduate from one of the top private schools in the U.S.- Washington University with your Master Degree in Architecture. I remember being so jealous when we were little because you would draw really cool floor plans on graph paper. I could not make my floor plans as cool as yours. I never thought that you designing houses at the age of 7 would carry through to this stage in your life. You are talented, smart, kind and beautiful and I look forward to seeing what you do now moving forward in your life. You are destine to do great things.

Love you lots,

Dina

Bowser's First Run

We have kept Bowser on a leash for the last 4 months. This is the first time we have intentionally let him run. He almost didn't know what to do with himself!

Peonies

I have not been able to identify my favorite flower until now....I can say with certainty that Peonies are my FAVORITE flower.

Happiness

Dear Sorn from Dinsorn

You know the way to my heart.... 

Cleaning. I don't tell you enough, THANK YOU for cleaning. You do such a wonderful job when you clean and it is so nice for me not have to worry about it. I usually start with the idea of a "Team Work" clean day, but that usually doesn't happen and you end up cleaning on your own. Between school and work my time is limited and I usually don't want to spend it cleaning, so you must know how much I appreciated what you do. On this most recent cleaning excursion you cleaned my room, made the bed, dusted my dresser and vacuumed!!!

Again, Thank You and I love you!

Idea....Maybe if we got one of these I would clean more?
