It's Been Awhile!

So it has been a crazy month but now that summer is in full swing  I will have a little more time to update.

First things first, I have a job interview on Monday June 14, 2010 at 9:30am for a BI Position at Rogers!!  FINGERS CROSSED!!

I am teaching summer school, I teach Monday and Tuesday's all day for 5 weeks.  It is only 10 days but I am sure I am going to be exhausted since I am working the elementary Autistic kiddos!  I am really excited!!

I recieved a Cricut for my birthday, so I have been making vinyl for the house ... this is what I have so far...

it is in the back bedroom and it looks so cute!! I can't wait to get everything else put together back there!!

Shawn and I went to Sandpoint for a car show and I got really sunburned, you can't tell so much in this picture but I think it is a great picture of us!

A friend from work's daughter was graduating from the 6th grade so I took some pictures for her, they turned out AWSOME

I have some more pictures, but I am too tired to post tonight ... more to come!!

Pug Gala 2010

Shawn and I left with pugs to toe and headed to Seattle to see what the Seattle Pug Rescue Pug Gala was all about.  It was a LONG trip - 8 hours to be exact, but totally work it.  We enjoyed time with about 700 other pugs and I think a great time was had by all.  We left on Friday May 7 around 11:30 and arrived at our house (YES A HOUSE- my parents house to be exact)  unpacked and then headed to Carnation Washington to have dinner with our friend Heather (our dog trainer) and some of her friends.  We had a great time meeting new people and enjoying a very different meal than we are used to.  After the gala on Saturday we went to Shoreline Washington and had dinner with my brother Darin and his g/f Ashley.  We had a nice chat and then went home and early to bed since we left early Sunday morning (8am to be exact) so we could be home to spend mothers day with family!!  Great Trip!

Another Week and of course MORE pictures

I worked a lot last week, we have been doing our testing YIPPEE so we have LONG class periods and plently of time to try and remind myself why I became a teacher.

The scentsy business has been going well and I am loving that I decided to try this venture.

Milton had a mishap last Friday (4-9-2010) he decided to throw up 7 times in a 15 minute period, me being a more confindent puppy owner was calm and didn't freak.  But by Saturday morning he wasn't eating or drinking and was just not his normal happy self.  A quick trip to the vet, a shot, and $100 later he was as good as new and is back to his old self.

Dexter has been limping AGAIN but when he is having a good time it doesn't seem to bother him, so we shall wait a little longer to have it checked out ... the limping has been going on on and off for several months but he never seems in pain so I am in no rush to shell out another $800 for his other knee to be fixed.

Shawn started 2nd semester at SCC and although he is busy seems to be enjoying it, he is able to not have to work right now which is nice for him.  Although the apartment complex that he was working at called him in yesterday so he has been picking up a few hours even though he doesn't really want to.

Nikki still hasn't had Carson, but is supposed to be induced tomorrow night so we should have a new baby boy on Monday sometime YAY

Now for the fun part ...

Dexter waiting patiently to eat his food ... such a nice boy

a pretty day in Spokane, Dexter LOVED the sun

Milton got a new hat, he looks pretty cute!

Milton and Razzle

For the past few months I have been talking to Milton's brother Razzle's mom ... they live in Oregon but come to Spokane often. We have been planning for them to come visit so that Milton and his brother can play together again! Well it FINALLY happened ... TWICE!! They are SO in love and remember eachother, you might think I am crazy but they really do. It has been the funnest experience to get to see these blood brothers play and I can't wait to do it again!

They are such happy boys!
