New Pictures

Hi All!
Well school has started again and I am getting settled back into the daily grind. Feels a little more hectic this year which is strange since I know what I'm doing. Maybe that's the reason, I know what to be worried about. :-)
Hope all of you out in cyber land are having a great week, CAN YOU BELIEVE ITS SEPTEMBER!!I'm shocked that fall is here, not ready for it to snow yet!

Anyway below are some pictures from the last month, enjoy :-)

A Salute to Bill's 21st birthday....

In honor of Bill's 21st Birthday which took place yesterday, I'm posting the evidence ;-) Here are some pictures from his 2 1/2 hour drinking fest. Now in his defense he probably would have had A LOT more fun but he was just coming off a 12 hour shift and had to be at work at 7 am the next day.... so without further waiting.... Bill's 21st birthday in pictures....


His 2nd drink, a Trash Can the 1st one was a Long Island Ice Tea

Aw his lovely sister and his drinking coach looking on

Drink boys drink!

Summer so far....

I think I should start calling this blog "My life in pictures!" because let's face it its often a lot easier to post some pictures of an event than write about it. ;-) SO today features mostly pictures from the taping of My Big Redneck Wedding for CMT. No, I didn't get married but 2 of Dustin's friends did.... for CMT!! If you haven't seen the show, let me explain a little... basically rednecks from far and wide can apply to have their wedding taped for My Big Redneck wedding, the weddings range from on horseback, to demolition derby to ours which.... I guess.... had to do with the mud trucks- the bride and groom came in on jacked up Volkswagons, the bridesmaids and groomsmen were in red Dodges, the other trucks lined the wedding area...ya know the usual. ;-p It was a very interesting experience that took place on one of the first and hottest weekends of the summer and if you have ever been to the 7 mile ORV park in Spokane (yes the wedding was taped at the ORV park!) you know that the shade is VERY limited. We managed to find some for the first few hours of the day but the wedding was taped in the blazing hot sun. We're hoping that our time out there netted at least a few camera shots- Dustin ought to be on sporting his AWESOME tuxedo t-shirt and I'm sure the S-10 will make it to as it was one of the decorations for the ceremony. One of the many highlights of the day was when the rented Hummer(I think it was an H2 or H3???) got a flat tire which spinning donuts... they aren't supposed to do that but I guess going backwards and spinning on ruts isn't great for tires, of ANY vehicle. No worries though the tire was changed as the ceremony began a few feet away. ;-)

We also got to take Dustin's boat out for the 4th of July to the Columbia River- it was SO much fun! The weather was great and we camped with a very fun group of people. There is nothing like sleeping outside (or in the hull of a boat, soaking up the sunshine and playing games to recharge a person's batteries. :-) Can't wait to go again!

So on with the pictures....

Us still in the shade at 7 mile- don't you LOVE our wedding attire ;-p



My handsome man in his GREAT tuxedo t-shirt!



Getting the game plan figured out


Jeremiah's blazer parked on Dustin's S-10 tire- they were the decorations

The wedding begins... see the blue S-10- it might be famous soon ;-)


This is the picture of our group when the couple was filming the originally video to try and get CMT to accept them... all of those trucks where at the wedding- except Richard's white Toyota...



One of my many days with the 3 B's- Becca, Brooke and Bindi (Becca not pictured)

Dakota and the Killdeer (is that spelled right?)

Here are the two baby Killdeer (sp?) Dustin found the other night. They were SO tiny and cute. Dakota kept the parents at bay while we got a close look at them.

Dakot has decided that is in fact a WATER DOG! She doesn't even need coaxing anymore to go for a swim in the horse trough. Here she is showing her skills.

I missed the REALLY funny one of her trying to get in with her butt in the air but these are still pretty cute.

She was watching her Daddy find her rocks to play with.

For Bill...

My brother has accused me of not having a life... or maybe it was not doing anything in my life because I hadn't posted anything new on here. I was not so sure people actually look at this SO y'all write a comment and let me know you're out there.

I have a life Bill! HA HA! It's been a very fun spring. Dustin and I have made a couple trips to the Columbia River to play in the water with Dakota, we spent the weekend in Moyie Springs at the BIG Spring Muddin' event (thousands of people attend!), we (Dustin) helped Carlee and Richard rototill their backyard and went to Nascart Speedway to race go-carts (SO SO FUN!), celebrated my grandma's 75th birthday. The only bad part about Grandma's weekend was I caught the flu Saturday and didn't get to spend much time with my extended family that was visiting. :-( hmmm.... lots more I'm sure has been happening... I'll close with some pictures of the last month or so.

Friday night at Moyie!

Watching the trucks go through the pits at Moyie!

We were lauging HYSTERICALLY!

What a goofball but he's my goofball!

Spring Break

Hi All! Ok not going to write this one except to caption photos... had a GREAT Spring Break! WAY too short but lots of fun! :-)

SEATTLE!

Went to visit my college roommate, Amanda. We spent 2 days shopping and 1 day in Seattle.... shopping!! Basically we shopped, talked and ate! So fun!!

NEW Stuff!!!

SO there are several new happenings in my life besides Dustin... although he is a pretty wonderful aspect of my life! I feel like an adult BECAUSE I bought my first car! It's a '99 Pontiac Grand Am GT Coupe, Dustin calls it Grandma because if you put Grand Am together and switch the A and M around that's what you get. So I think it's her nick name. ;-) BUT she is awfully sporty AND has a sunroof!! Bill says I ruined it by putting a car seat in the back (no I don't have kids but I do have friends with kids who frequent my car).

I also signed a lease on a new apartment. I am truly blessed to have parents who let me live with them for a few months while I figured my life out a little but it is time for my own space again. SO I am moving into a 1 bedroom apartment! I looked at one that is identical to mine and they seem big but I'm sure they aren't as big as I think but then again I have been living in my old bedroom crammed with almost ALL of my stuff so ANYTHING seems huge. It's a traditional 70's apartment... orange countertops and all! I'll update you on it after the BIG move... had I not bought a new car this would mark the 10th move with the Toyota but instead its' the first with Grandma the wonder car... or Grandma the speed racer... hmm have to come up with something cute...

So Dustin is still wonderful as ever! He and Bill went with me when I bought my car and went through all the paperwork the guy had and made sure I was getting a good vehicle. He laughed at me the whole way home though because I kept squeeling from being so excited! We have been staying very busy and having lots of fun together. We took my brother to the 7 mile ORV park a couple weekends ago and now I heard rumor that he wants to build a big truck now... oh the boys in my life!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I am off next week for Seattle to visit my college roommate and enjoy a Spring Break trip! Yahoo! I will post pictures from the trip when I get back.

Anyway the pictures below are from this month.

At the ORV park

Dustin!

Bill!

Me sitting in the S-10 waiting for another round of water and mud!

WE weren't squished...

Dakota looks like she wasn't having much fun...

Maybe she was just tired...

SO HAPPY TOGETHER!!!!
