Trash the Dress session 1

TRASH the DRESS

Logan's wonderful cousin Rachel was our photographer for our wedding.

She is a photographer in Hawaii and was so sweet to come out for the weekend and take AMAZING pictures of our special day!

She seriously did such an amazing job that it was WAY to hard to pick only a couple pictures. Every single one of the 1100 pictures we got captures a special moment!

I'm going to do a couple different post to make them not so long.

The first one is the Trash the Dress session in Tempe!

We had such a fun time in Tempe taking our pictures. We did some with the bridge, some on top of the railroad tracks-which turned out awesome! As well as some with some rustic metal and such.

1st House

OUR NEW HOME!!!!

Logan and I got our FIRST new home 1 week before we got married.

We are completely TRILLED & EXCITED to be

first home buyers.

Most of you have probably heard the long dreadful, stressful & aggravating story of trying to get this home.

For those of you who haven't i'll tell ya a very short version of just SOME of the problems.

We went through Chase being I work their and get a discount- Chase Mortgage guy screwed up our loan process and got us declined... he tried to help us fix his mistake and it was taking far to long and getting close to our deadline. We thought we had lost the house by this time... (sidenote: we went through 2 realtors- we looked at 50+ homes- we placed offers on 15+ homes- we got accepted on 4 ho

mes and by the end... we wanted THIS HOME ONLY- it felt like home) We switched to a mortg guy that our Realtor referred us- we had 5 days to close and we fought some battles and we came out on top. We were so excited the day we signed the paperwork and knew the house was REALLY ours!

We love our home and its so cute WITHOUT furniture & decorations. You just wait until the pictures of our home decorated and put together come :)

In the end we got a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath & 2

car garage home.

We have a great starter home & a great starter backyard for Logan to build our mini paradise.

We got a Smokin' price & a home in great condition (we didn't see many of those while searching)

Another great feature is... its located on Higley & Baseline. Just 2 miles from my parents home. It makes things SO much easier living so close to them :)

MOM'S B-DAY!!

My mom's b-day Saturday the 12th!

2 days after Logan's B-day we got to celebrate my moms :)

We went to lunch at Texas Roadhouse on Saturday and had a great time.

I don't have many pictures from this due to Braxton playing with my camera the second I brought it out.. No hope once he has it. He managed to get a couple pictures himself tho haha.

My mom on the Saddle. As most of you probably know when its your B-day they make you get on the saddle while they sing to you. My mom didn't want to do it at first but than surprisingly she saddled up haha. Shes a trooper!!

isnt his hat adorable on him? Ha even backwards!

The next 3 are ALL taken by Braxton.

Yes, we can snap some good ones every once in awhile eh?!?! haha

Happy B-day Mom. You are an amazing mom and I hope you have an amazing year.

You do so much for everyone and I hope you got to Relax and enjoy the day on your b-day!

Love you!!

Logan's 27th Birthday!!

Thursday the 10th was Logan's birthday. He got completely spoiled this year by everyone and we were able to do lots of fun activity's for his b-day.Wed night, the night before, we went bowling with his family and a few close friends.Thurs his actual B-day he got spoiled with BREAKFAST & LUNCH made by me (which he LOVES, favorite thing is when I cook, no joke.) He got WAY to many presents, I overdid it once again this year. haha OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE for his B-day night dinner, mmm!

Than Saturday -Sunday we had a group of friends camp-out at the lake. We had a BLAST! We left about 3ish on Saturday afternoon, had a CRAZY drive to butcher Jones..I was nervous for my life a couple of those climbs to get back in their, set up camp, went tubbing (our friends just got a new boat, we are LOVING it haha) Grilled yummy dinners, camp fire, weather was amazing, Ranger Golf Cart rides, B-day cake singing, Basking in the sun and enjoying the tan, Jet Ski's (We were surprised by this and they were a BLAST to ride all day Sunday.)

We had such a fun week last week we didn't want it to end! :)

I love my B-day Boy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUN! Hope you had an amazing B-day filled with spoiledness haha.

Mia

Our poor baby.

When we first got back from our honeymoon Mia saw a cat and took off running. (Logan called when she came out of the pile of metal, branchs and garbage at his parents house she would be hurt) sure enough she came out limping and blood everywhere. We let her go for a week and we thought it was getting better... She started licking it raw and so we decided to take her in. GOOD THING WE DID,her foot was really infected & her toe was basically barely hanging on. So, they put her under and attached her toe and ripped her toenail out because it was barely their from her licking.

When I got home from work Mia was SOOO drugged. It was so sad to see her little cast on and her cone and she just had a blank look in her eyes.

She got up and followed me back into our room when I went to change. She just stood their swaying back and forth and than a couple of her legs could collapse and she would pick herself back up and do it all over again. It was so Funny but yet sad at the same time because she was SO drugged from her surgery.

The next 7 days of her wearing a cone is going to be sad and ROUGH for Mia! haha
