You Want Me To Move?

Jasper always gives me these sad faces when i ask him to move.....he can REALLY lay on the guilt trip! This time, as usual it worked and so i crawled in on the other side of the bed.  Jasper is always soooo excited to sleep with me when his master is gone! He loves Ed but he also REALLY loves to sleep with me when Ed is gone!!!  He eventually moved the middle of the bed laying all the way across so i had to sleep at somewhat of a diagonal too.  Bella happily slept on Ed's pillow. 

Still In Denial He Plays High School Football

It still doesn't seem possible that the little guy is in high school AND playing high school football!!!!!! Still not quite ready to really believe that!!!

Rodeo Time, Again

It's already rodeo time again! I've noticed everything is just on repeat here....same thing year after year....Last year we FROZE at the rodeo this year we sweated non stop! But still a fun Friday and Saturday evening.

Friday night we had dinner at Peggy Sues before heading to the rodeo. Ty, Ryan, and Taylor are at an away game so we went with Daniel and Jennifer.

There was a beautiful sunset as we headed over to the stables!

The horses were as gorgeous as ever and did a great job!

It was a full moon and Ty was happy to have Taylor there!

Blood Moon 2015

Yep, this is exactly how the sky looked at our house all night long!!!

The Flag Was Being Lowered

I had zipped inside to grab something while Ed and Ty were heading to the car. When I opened the door this is what I saw....it will be odd to not be doing this at random times when we happen to be in the in between of coming and going during flag ups and flag downs. Will definitely miss this when our base housing days are no longer a part of our life.

Click Quickly!

Just about impossible to get pictures of this guy! Just wanted to get a quick memory of him leaving for an away game. Instead he accused me of non stop taking pictures of him. I reminded him it was Friday and that was the first picture I had taken of him ALL week!!! He said, Ohhhhhh.

Ryan Can Fall Asleep Fast!

Ryan crawled into my bed while I was washing my face. That kid can crash fast! He was sound asleep and purring when I kicked him out the bed!

Bella was all comfy too!

Brownie Batter OREO'S

Sept 15

Been searching for these limited edition Oreos for several months now! I've literally searched every grocery store in every town we happen to be in and even my friends have searched for me! I was sooooo excited when I found these today at the Comissarry!!! AND, they were delicious!!!!

I Ate ALL The Brownies

I made a giant pan if yummy brownies last night. I told the boys of the house they couldn't have any until the next day because they wouldn't be cooled down before bedtime. Tonight at dinner I told them that I ate all the brownies today, that I just couldn't resist and kept cutting pieces off throughout the day until they were all gone. They were sad, Ty especially....Ryan went searching for them. I told them I was just kidding and had made them into Cookie Dough Brownies and they were in the fridge. Yummy dessert tonight!!!!

Ease On Up

I was sitting down for a minute and Jasper just very slowly eased himself up on the couch....he acted like he didn't think I would notice!

You Don't Have The Skills Ryan Said

This is COMPLETELY Ryan and I when we are watching our shows! I showed it to him tonight and he 100% agreed!

Ready For Fall TV!!!

We are excited!!! This week starts all the new seasons for some of our favorite shows and there are actually a few new shows that look pretty good!

But tonight we are watching Gotham!

Bringing The Horses In

Sunday evening....time to bring the horses in! Ole Yeller and Ford are back so when Ed opened the gate for them to head to the stables they started off on track but Ford was leading the pack and he just went all over the place! It is always a beautiful site when they are running together and the sound is amazing! Their manes blow in the wind, dust comes up under their hoofs and their faces just take on a completely different look when they are running free! Even Ryan said, "Wow Mom....that is just really beautiful!" After a few attempts of Ed and Ty on the gator unsuccesfully bringing them in the horses ran back into the pasture and the boys brought the first batch in. Nice they are old enough to help and can do this and than Ed and Ty had the rest run in free.

Ty bringing in Norman, the biggest of the horses

Ty leading in John and Ryan bringing in Reno.

Ryan had to circle Reno a few times....i guess he wasn't ready to go to his room yet!

Taking off their stuff and locking them in....

Ford, Ole Yeller, and Rookie came in running wild and free! Rookie and Ole Yeller went right into their stalls but Ford just kinda threw a tiny fit and than went to his room. These horses melt my heart with their sweet, crazy personalities!

Ford Is Back!

Yes, I am sooooo beyond happy that Ford is back from the trainers! Reno has been my main buddy for the last few months, but now I've got Ford again!!!

Sunday Morning Feeding

It's a beautiful Sunday morning!!! Feeding the horses and than off to church! We'll come back in the afternoon and round 'em up and put them in their stalls so they are all ready for their work week!

Sweet Reno....he's been my buddy since Ford was gone and sadly i think all those chunks out of his face are from Ford! I went in and said hello to Reno and Ford came over and nudged him right out of the way and was biting on him the first day i was at the stables that Ford came back....i think someone might be a tad jealous!!! Hahahahahahahaha! But i feel for Reno....

He always gets annoyed with how slow i am coming out of the pastures! He finds it ridiculous that i have to say goodbye to each horse individually and kiss them each goodbye!!!

We've Missed Each Other

I've missed Ford....I'm pretty sure he missed me, or atleast that is what I am going to tell myself! I think we have a bond even though The Dude On A Horse says it's all in my head! But Ford is the one who loves taking pictures with me, he doesn't even flinch when I put my arms around his neck and we can stand forehead to forehead for long periods of time and lots of other stuff I won't bother with....but needless to say I am just soooo happy to my very favorite of my furry friends back at the stables!

Taking pictures like he's only been gone a day....

We just close our eyes and lean against each other.....Ford always wins because I don't have a tail to swish flies away and my legs get tired! 

He's a total sweetie...❤️

Everyone Is Jaspers Pillow

If you lay down on the floor, Jasper just automatically thinks you are there just for him, his own personal pillow! We have accepted this.

Gear Testing

I just never know what i am going to find going on when i come home! Today it was Ed testing out different gear to see what he was going to take with him next week. Bella was testing out with him. Jasper was VERY upset he wasn't allowed to test out this piece of gear!!!

Ed decided on the tent....now to just find a cot! We've seemed to have lost those when arriving to this duty station. Jasper was still upset about not being allowed in his masters sleeping quarters!!!

Saturday Fun

It is Saturday! Everyone is in and Ed and I are heading home. I think Rookie doesn't want us to leave!!! He just had a great ride with Ed, but I guess he wants us to stick around a lil longer! I told him we'd be back tomorrow!

Rookie watching us leave.

The rest staying close by until we are gone.

His phone never stops!

My favorite place to be any day of the week!

Rolling In The Dirt

I love watching them roll, it is hilarious! Ole Yeller dropped down first today. He rolled and rolled and got all dirty.  He seemed quite happy with himself when he got up. Ford decided to plop down too while Ole Yeller was rolling. Ford looked adorable just sitting their all relaxed while Ole Yeller was rolling and rubbing his head and neck on the ground.

Next it was Fords turn to roll and boy did he roll! He made sure to get that mane of his that i had just combed all out completely covered in dirt, grass, and hay! What a mess!!! But he was a happy mess!!!  When he was all stretched out just laying in the sun I was wondering if he would let me lay down next to him and use his tummy as a pillow...but than he sat up again so i just took a few pictures and was just about to go sit down next to him when Ole Yeller decides to come over...the plan of sitting down with ford went south FAST!!!! The following post will tell why!

Best Dessert EVER!!!

At the Dodger game tonight, this is what i chose from the dessert cart. Chocolate Mocha cake. It is my new all time favorite cake! I might go on a recipe hunt or just wait until i see it again on a menu somewhere....but i now have a new favorite cake!!!

Dodger Game Tonight

Its Dodger Night!!! Ty and Ryan have away games tonight so it is just Ed and I tonight with Wendy, Rick and gang. Its always beautiful coming back into civilization and i just LOVE palm trees! Definitely my happy tree!!!  It was Frank Sinatra night so the music was obviously Frank Sinatra. Ed twirled me a couple times during one of the songs while we were walking around before the game. Later up in the suite he was singing Frank Sinatra to cute little Noelle. It was a fun night! 

I told Ed we should get one of these 'K' balls for our forever home!

Walking up to the stadium from our car....

Ed was very happy to get down to the field level. This is his love...i will try to not be jealous...

Having fun before the game walking around.....

Sooooo much yummy food! Crackers, cheese, fruits, veggies, fajitas, crab cakes, Dodger Dogs, and pulled pork sandwiches!

Chips and dip, drinks....it was just endless food! I made myself a perfect Dodger Dog! The grody shrimp on my plate were for Ed. Desert was a mocha chocolate cake that was the best cake i have EVER had! 

The suite was really nice! The boys would have loved the pool table! Ed and T were texting back and forth. T loves the Dodgers so Ed was having fun sending him pictures.

Little Noelle loves her Uncle Eddie and was by far the cutest Dodgers fan at the game!

Now these are perfect chairs for watching the game from!!!

It was Frank Sinatra night tonight and we even had some of his original chairs in our suite,

We saw this while we were walking around. We sent the picture to Jorden. Josh was like his favorite baseball player way back when he still lived at home!

Noelle had fun watching the game with her Uncle Eddie

We got a quick picture of Nolan. He was nonstop having fun with his friends.
