Date Night

If you know us well.... you know we NEVER leave miss Jonnie Belle. Well, this past weekend we were forced to.. and it ended up being a nice little date night! JD's agent wanted to take us to a fancy restaurant where rambunctious tiny tots probably wouldn't be.... so we dropped Jonnie off to play with our friend Molly for a couple hours.

It was nice to just be with JD for a little while... even though we missed Jonnie! I knew she was in good hands so it made it a lot easier:) Molly better watch out or we might make this a monthly routine;)

mary's visit

my aunt mary graced us with her presence this past week and we had lots of fun! we shopped til i about dropped... visited the white sand beaches in naples... took the tikki beach barge tour through miami... and ate WAY too much yummy food at the knife restaurant. (an argentinian restaurant like rodizio grill:) my favorite part of her stay was our late night chats.. one of them til 4 in the morning... i love talking and catching up! it was sad to see her leave sunday. we love you mur!







now we are just getting back into the swing of things. getting all our tax stuff together so we can get those done in the next week or so. it's ridiculous how much information you have to scrounge up! for the nfl, they make you file in every single state you play a game in... LAME!

our apartment complex just got a personal trainer and he's doing some classes each morning. i decided i would give it a try to mix things up a bit and this morning i was the only one that showed up for the power circuit class. he kicked my butt and then some. i am still feeling the pain and can hardly hold jonnie cause my arms are so dead. sheesh. just what i need tho!

we are leaving in a couple weeks for a short trip to oklahoma to check out the vet school and surrounding area. we're excited to see where we'll probably be spending 4 years after football is through. hopefully i blog before then.... but with my past record.. i might not. life is good. family is great. valentine's was lovely. we miss you all!

we're back in action

I know it's been forever since I posted last... and things have been crazy so i felt like there was too much to blog about so i just wasn't gonna do it. then things just started piling on so that didn't solve anything! where have we been you might ask?

Utah then Montana then Utah again.... now back in Florida!

We spent a little over 3 weeks back west and loved every minute of it. JD made his first saddle with his dad while we were up in Montana and decided that he definitely wants to get all his own tools so he can build saddles in the offseason / during any downtime throughout vet school / for a forever hobby:) he sure is quite the little handy man.

It was fun being back with family and I know Jonnie loves every bit of the attention she gets from everyone. She's quite the little entertainer these days! Wait.. who am I kidding? She has been from day one.

She has been up and at em walking since 8 1/2 months and we can't hold her down for a second anymore. This girl has gotta be on the go at all times and believe me.. you will hear about it if she's not! She's got a little hot personality to go right along with that red hair! We are currently in the process (now that we are home in one place for a bit) of trying to get her on a better sleep schedule... and it has been quite the treat:) She's actually been doing pretty well so hopefully it keeps going!

She loves the outdoors, so the other day JD and I took her to the park and she wanted to stay there forever. I think she would love an open field with her ball just as much though. She has the cutest obsession with balls already. Any kind. She just walks around holding them at all times. Thus, we have one in the car, the diaper bag, and all over the house. Perfect. Good thing our place is so tiny... it's turned into Jonnie's own little play pen.
She didn't exactly love the swing... especially when she was doin it superman style.


JD's schedule is really nice during the off-season. From the beginning of Feb-mid March, he just works out 3 days a week in the mornings. The other two days he's shadowing a vet for about 10 hours a week so he can continue working towards the vet stuff. He's doing 6 credits through weber while we are out here and shadowing counts for 4 of them. WOO! We also just found out the other day that JD's year deferment from Oklahoma State got extended for another year:) So he still has a spot there for the 2011 class if he decides football just isn't his thing.

All in all.. we are loving just spending lots of time together and can't wait for family to get out here soon (Aunt Mary is on the plane as I type this.... YAY!!) Hope all is well with everyone!

Oh ps... we just took this from our apartment balcony a couple weeks ago and I just found it on the camera.. love it!
