It's Been A Long Time

I know it has been AGES since our last post. I am very sorry for those of you who keep checking but find nothing new here...I will try to be better in the upcoming months about posting on a regular basis.

I went to Florida in March to visit Dad and Connie. Andy and Laurie (my uncle and aunt) were also there visiting and we had a lot of fun. My Aunt Laurie's FAVORITE part of the trip was a visit to the Daytona 500 track. (hahaha, just kidding! She was very curious about the mall next door however!)
 

Dad and Connie walking on the beach. We walked to the pier almost every night for drinks and entertainment.

Andy and I rode this machine that shook you around like you were riding on a roller coaster. 

I was covering my ears. Whenever I don't like something I cover my ears...no idea why and my brother LOVES to give me crap about it! 

What a winner! 

The whole gang on Connie's birthday!

It was so good seeing Dad and Connie and I hope Keats can go with next time!

I've also been cooking more! I found this braided spaghetti bread recipe on Pinterest and had to try it. 

(Sorry the pictures aren't rotated)

 

It turned out to be so good (and easy)!

Scott, Kendra and Kingzton came to Colorado for Easter so we FINALLY got to meet Kingz -- five months after he was born!

Keaton and I drove around in the mountains last weekend (Earth day) and enjoyed the scenery. 

 

 

 

 

 

  

We saw some rams right next to the road. There were tons of people stopped and taking pictures and they didn't seem to mind. As I was leaving, two of them started to ram each other. THAT was scary!

Other than that, we haven't been up to much. Oh, except we are trying to buy a house. ;)  That's probably the main reason we haven't been blogging. Every second we're on the computer, we're looking at new places in Longmont or emailing lenders and blah blah blah. We actually had a contract in on one house but the seller wouldn't agree to fix something major, so she backed out of the contract and we are on the hunt once again.

A couple of weeks ago (Easter weekend) Nixon was doing this crazy/scary hyperventilating thing that sounded like reverse sneezing (common in dogs with small snouts). He had done it a couple times before but it only lasted a couple seconds and he would go back to rough-housing with Bagheera. Well, when I left for work he was doing it off and on every 10-15 minutes and when Keaton came home at noon, he was STILL doing it. Keats ended up taking him into the vet and long story short, he had a 6 1/2 inch blade of grass stuck above his soft palate and behind his sinuses. It cost $600 to have it removed. Sooo...don't let your dogs eat grass.

We'll talk to y'all later. :)
