Dave Matthews and the Horse Races

Once again, Adam and I had a busy but really fun weekend. Adam was out of town all week, so we really hadn't planned much. Friday on his way back, his friend Joe called him and had 2 extra tickets to see Dave Matthews. We had nothing to do and both like him, so we went. We took a cooler with drinks and relaxed in the parking lot for awhile and then went in for the concert! It was such a nice night out and so much fun!!! He played a lot of good songs and it was a really good time!

Saturday we were tired (we didn't get home from the concert until way past our usual bedtime) so we slept in and went out to lunch and lounged by the pool. A nice and relaxing day! That night we went out for Mexican at our favorite restaurante Casa de Pico! After that we went home to watch shows!

Saturday night Robbie called to see if we wanted to go to the horse races in Del Mar with him and his girlfriend, Kirsten (I'm not sure how she spells her name!), so we were planning on going there and to brunch with Joe before hand. It was a really fun day. We ate brunch at this place called the Tractor Room that sort of has the feel of a speakeasy (dark black curtains and all old fashioned looking). We sat outside and had a delicious brunch and drinks from their menu of about a million types of bloody mary's and mimosas! After that we went to the races. It was fun-Adam won about $50 on one race which isn't bad unless you already had spent a ton of money for the day, like us! Oh well, it was entertaining!

Now back to work after a fun, fun weekend! Next weekend-Lake Tahoe!!!

Diggy's New Do

Diggy got a haircut and we decided to be a little more playful/adventurous! Check out his hawk!

My favorite

Mohawk and Crooked Teeth-BEAUTIFUL combination

Relaxing!

Diggy Vs. Adam

Today I like Diggy more than Adam. It's a sad but true fact. Adam was a typical stupid man and Diggy is the angel that he always is. It's true, Dog is a (wo)man's best friend. He's always here with me and always makes me smile and always needs me!!!!! Who needs a husband when you've got the best dog in the world???? Really? (JK, JK)

I love you Diggy! You make me so happy! I'm happy we get 3 days of bonding time, just mama and angey :)

First Visit to Katie's New House

Adam, Diggy, and I went to Tucson (actually Sahuarita) this past weekend to hang out with Katie and her family! We left Friday right after work and got there in a little less than 6 hours. To my delight, Katie let the kids stay up and wait for us so we could see them and they could meet Diggy! Matt's brother Tim and his sister Sarah and their girlfriend/boyfriend Leah and and Dean came just for Friday night too, so we all just hung out around their house and had drinks and talked. Their new house is really nice and has tons of room so all of us could sleep there without a problem.

Saturday morning, Adam got up early with the rest of the guys to help Matt put in a concrete patio, which sadly, I think they all enjoyed! Katie and I took the kids and Diggy to the dog park and let Diggy play. I think Tate had more fun than Diggy even did. Then, Katie and I took Lexie and her new friend, Marissa, to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 movie. It was cute and a fun afternoon.

I looked at Diggy and he had one of Ellie's doll's pacifiers in his mouth; it was so cute so Katie took a picture!

Saturday night, we went up to the pool and sat in the hot tub, then hung around their house some more and Matt grilled a nice dinner!

Yesterday we went to the pool until it was time to leave! The weekend went really fast, but it was tons of fun! Katie and her family plan on coming to visit San Diego in September and I can't wait!!!

Kristen's Wedding Weekend

Oh wow, it's been awhile because I was home for 6 days and have been trying to catch up at home and work ever since! I had a great time being home and saw pretty much everyone I could, so it was a good trip and sad to come back (except to see Diggy).We were supposed to get in Thursday afternoon, but if course our flights were delayed so we didn't arrive at my house until about 10 PM. The next day was super busy and fun with all of the wedding festivities beginning! We had a bridesmaid luncheon and then nail appointments closeby. It was fun to chat and relax before the big day! Kate (Kristen's sister in law) and Jodi (Kirk's sister who was in our grade) just had babies and had them there (Maeve and Lola), they were so cute!

After nails, Adam picked me up and we went over to Jay and Steph's house to see Addi and so I could meet Samantha! Lucky for us, Robin decided to come into town too, so we got to see Nolan, Mara, and Reese too! It was such a short visit, but so fun to see all the kids and meet Sammi!

After we met with the Ralph side of the fam, we had to rush home to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. The dinner was at the Embassy Suites; the food was good, the company was good, and everything was really nice!

The next day was the big day of the wedding! We went over to the Parker house early to get hair done, get ready, eat, etc. It was a really fun relaxing morning. Then the bus picked us up to take us to see the reception hall before everyone else and finally to the church! The ceremony was short and sweet and Kristen looked beautiful! After that we got on the party bus to go to the reception!

All Dressed!

Married!
At the reception, it was really really fun. I saw tons of people who I hadn't seen in at least a year! I got to hang out with my fam, friends, and husband! It was a great wedding and everyone had a great time!

Me and Kris

After the wedding festivities, Adam went home and I did a lot of hanging out in Morton. I went to Kristie's a lot to hang out with Cal and Sylvie, went to my fave restaurants (La Fiesta and Avantis), went to my Aunt Julie's for my cousin Nate's 11th bday party, had Duvy and Darah over for some chatting, went out to lunch with my mom, etc. I was sad to go home, but ready to get back to my dog and my husband! Next weekend-Arizona to see the Roleys!
