Dexter Update

Dexter is approaching 8 months of being alive on Feb. 15th. I figured he deserved a little update post.
At 8 months Dexter...

- is HUGE.
- is just as big of a cuddler as he always has been...this is one of the things Me& E love most about him.
- continues to think that my bed is his bed.
- enjoys nightly belly massages from his father.
- has a new favorite spot that he loves to lay...on top of the dirty clothes hamper.
- has a new hobby - climbing from the bed, across to the hamper, to on top of my dresser...and standing there.
- has acquired quite the manly bark. I heard it for the FIRST time yesterday. I was starting to think it was never gonna happen.
- is still easily entertained by his toys.
- is improving his behavior when going on walks and refraining from jumping on people.
- loves ice. he gets this from his mama.
- watches the mouse move across the screen while I'm on my computer.
- absolutely loves nothing more than going to hang out with his friends at Camp Bow Wow. He wants nothing to do with us once he realizes were pulling up to camp. Kids these days.
- is great at riding in the car (no more mis-haps like the one mentioned here).
- sleeps all through the night. No more funny business waking up during the wee hours of the night. phew.

...and he is just as sweet as ever. <3

Everyone's a LOBO!

Me & E went to the UNM vs. BYU basketball game this weekend with Jonah and Jed. It was sold out and EVERYONE was trying to get tickets. It was such a good game! I'll be honest I thought we were gonna get murdered out there. I was just hoping that we didn't lose by more than ten. I have a lot of faith in my team don't I? Well it turned out we stayed pretty even with them the whole game. We were down by thirteen at one point and we both thought they were doomed...until out of no where within the last three minutes of the game we pulled away with a ten point lead. I was yelling and chanting and jumping the entire game. My throat was hating me the whole next day.

We had such a good time. I always love getting to rub it in Jonah's face when the lobos beat the cougars. It's the best. :)

Sleep Ova

Auntie Hoolia spent the night with me and Dexter last night. Dexter loves his auntie because she plays with him like his friends back at Camp Bow Wow. They played together for awhile, I popped us some popcorn, and then the three of us cozied up on my bed and watched Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

- wouldn't have wanted to spend my friday night any other way. :)

A Few Fab Finds

So as I said in an earlier post, here are some pics of a few fab things that I found while thrifting this weekend...


1. A Pendleton plaid wool shirt. It looks, feels, and smells brand spankin new! It was a little pricey for the thrift store, but it was love at first site and I splurged and decided to spend a whole 8 BUCKS on it!...funny when you're thrifting how anything over three dollars is ''pricey''. ha!

2. Next up, just a plain black tee shirt that I bought to match the Zuni sunface ring I got for Christmas. It's nothin too fabulous but it was only 99 cents, so I went with it. I think its kinda cute :)

3. The coziest Ralph Lauren sweater. I love the collar and the pattern and the colors. For only three bucks people! It's soooo soft and warm. Perfect to throw over a tee and some jeans.

4. And last but not least comes my favorite purchase of the day. For five bucks, I am the proud owner of a sweet navy blue vintage dress. I love the buttons in the front and the long sleeves. I think it's adorable.

I'd say it was a pretty successful thrifting day. Happy with all of my purchases...now if only I can get the smokey smell out of my dress I'll be all set. :)

Sweet Treat

Julia and I are starting to work out again...and THIS TIME were stickin to it! We've both been eating a lot better, I quit drinking Dr. Pepper (tragic), and we started going on 2 mile runs. Yay for us!

Tonight, after much debate on whether or not we should give in to our cravings...we decided to treat ourselves to gelato at ECCO in Nob Hill.

And let's face it, it didn't take much convincing.

of course mine is the biggest serving

And boy was it worth it. YUM! It was the perfect little treat to fulfill our cravings.
We'll just have to run it off tomorrow :)

Sizzlin

Today I invited Jeremy and Julia over for a fajita dinner. I was nervous because last time I made fajitas they were...umm..hmm....interesting (like most of the dishes I attempt to make)...but this time...they came out sooooo tasty. Everyone loved them (or so they said). 

I really think I'm starting to get a hang of this whole cookin business.

Love&Hate

My parents were in town this weekend.
They took me grocery shopping & treated Me&E to Saggios today.
I love when they come to town  & hate when they leave.

I had such a good day hanging out with my parents. It's days like this that make me wish they lived here.
