Our early Memorial Day celebration

So out here in Missouri the boys are required to work everyday except for Sundays and that is not excluding holidays so us wives put together a Memorial Day bbq a day early (on Sunday). It was a very successful bbq I would say. We had plenty of food, treats, and sports tools (as Adam Webb would say). Although we had a large space to play in, it wasn't big enough and far enough from the pond for the boys. One of the girls might of jinxed what was bound to happen with the football but if jinxed or not it happened. The football ended up in the pond. These ponds are well sized and the only way to get to it was by a brave soul that would kick his little flippers and stroke those arms to the center of the pond where many ducks and one swan had resided for the duration of the life of this pond.


Now at this time in the bbq I was sitting at the table above and talking with other bbqers. I happened to look down towards the pond and what cought my eye was my husband in the walls of the pond, trying to hide from me behind two boys ripping his shirts off. I'm sure all of you that know him would not be shocked by the things he does but after almost a year of marriage to him I still am taken back by the things he does. I mean I am getting better and better at understanding the way he thinks and what excites him but I guess what I am saying is life is one adventure after another. It's great! I just giggle at the things that I have experienced with him.



Anyway back to the story, it was obviously my husband to go get that football. He tip-toed in at first but he dove in the second he could. He kicked his feet and his arms went one stroke after another but he wasn't heading towards the ball, he first had to chase after the baby ducks...(again his mind works in different ways, not in a bad way but just different). hopefully you can see the rest of what hapened... if I can get the video to upload:) it's worth it to watch!

Ok so here is the video! It's great! I apologize before hand about my obnoxious yelling but maybe you'll understand.

2 hours and still nothin...HELP!

So it's the second day that we've had this blog and I am already frustrated with it! I would like to make it presentable and at least somewhat cute but first, our internet is hecka slow and second, I've been trying to figure out for 2 hours how to upload a template from another source! Not that I am really doing anything else right now but I think that is a little too long to be spending on a stupid template.

Can anyone tell me how to change my template to something a little bit more upbeat then these boring ones they provide? I know I've seen different backgrounds on everyone elses blogs so why am I not competent enough to figure this out?! Thanks to those that are willing to help....

Our Summer Adventures Begin

The drive to St. Louis, Missouri is a story in it self but we won't go into detail. Just came out of it with HUGE holes in our wallet, pocket and more. We've been in St. Louis for almost 3 weeks now and we've seen maybe 3 days of warm sunshine. The other days it's been some of the most rain and wind we have ever seen. It is very green here and the hills just keep on rolling. It's everything you hear about this place. In this three week time Dave has been pretty successful for a first year salesman. Last Wednesday he was called by a few guys from corporate because he had FOUR SALES IN ONE DAY which is unheard of by a first year! I myself get to sit in a dark office that the only light given is from the light of the day and since there hasn't been many sunny days it's been pretty dark and gloomy. We're workin on that though. I also get to catch up on my scrapbooking (Dave doesn't get the whole scrapbook thing) and reading(ha) while Dave is gone. We haven't been able to do too much due to the adjusting to the work hours. But we have been able to party at Buffalo Wild Wings on 40 cent wing night on Tuesdays, watch Dave lose a dollar in less than 5 seconds on a slot machine, and fix Dave's road bike because he will be racing against the toughest of the tough on September 6 from Logan, Utah to Jackson Hole (GO DAVE!). All in all our experiences have been great so far!
