playing dress up

Chris and I decided not to spend money on dog halloween costumes. But that didn't stop me from taking Scout to Petsmart to take pictures of him in one. :) He loves it, can't you tell?

green paws

Scout helped me mow the grass last night! His paws are green to prove it. I shouldn't have waited a day to take a picture of them, but they were glowing green last night!!

SYTYCD tour

Chris and I went to the So You Think You Can Dance tour last week. He got me watching the show and it was cool to see it live. The dancers did the dialogue also, so some of it was VERY rehearsed and a little cheesy. But overall I enjoyed it.

Here are a few pictures of the show. The stage was so bright it was hard to get good pictures, but I tried! There's also three shorts videos that have better lighting.

Here's the intro.

The well-known "Prom" dance by Lauren and Kent.

reminiscing

I was looking through pictures tonight and thought I'd post a few from this time last year. I love looking through pictures that I haven't seen in a while.

Well, I'm sad that summer is really OVER. I know it has been for a few weeks, but it's time for me to accept it.

I so enjoyed spending the summer with Chris. It was his first summer in the states in 6 years! He taught a class the first summer session and a long summer session. But even with those, I got to see him a lot and have him home more than during school. Here is our calendar during July. You can compare in a minute to September.

Since school has started again...Chris is taking 9 hours of grad courses. He is TA'ing 9 hours (i think that's right) of undergrad courses. He is the editor of the Maroon Weekly. When fall softball starts he'll be the PA announcer for those games. And the list goes on. I am very proud of him how he juggles everything. On top of all that, he is a wonderful husband and is always there for me when I need him.

The past few weeks have been NUTS. School starting and getting the paper running again have been enough to keep Chris busy. I've been working 50+ hrs/wk the past few week also. I haven't picked up any overtime this week and it's the first week in a few that I haven't felt like I'm always at work. I know as we get into the swing of things the semester will smooth out and fly by. I know we are so very blessed to both have great jobs and each other. :)

Here is a glimpse at our September calendar...

puppies

Becca is my youngest sister. She recently moved to College Station, leaving my parents living without any children in the house.

When my parents came in for the weekend, we took a little visit to the puppy store. It was love at first sight, really.

So, meet Bentley. He is a 3 month old Morkie (maltese-yorkie).

You may wonder why there are two small fluff balls playing with Scout in the pictures.

Well, my sister, Katy, was also in for the weekend. It was love at first sight for her also. Katy has always had such a sweet heart for animals. They got Bentley's brother and named him Tanner. He is spunky and just stinkin' cute.
