The DP

This morning we took a visit to what we call the DP. It stands for Dog Park but we can't say that in our house now because our dogs get psycho excited when they hear those words. My brother-in-law met us up with their dog Herbie. It is worth the trip for us because our dogs LOVE it. They get all of their energy out and we love that.

Minnie and those ears <3

Me and Evie watching from outside

Love my lil beagle boy

Two stinky doggie butts

Roi is so beagle-tastic in this pic... I love it!

Herbie decided it was pick on Minnie day 

Hopefully they will be calm the whole rest of the weekend!

The many bathing suits of Everly

Our girl is really going to be one little fashionista! She has been going to swim class since 4 weeks old and is always the most fashionable girl at the pool! Here are her different looks which actually does not even include all of the bathing suits this little girl owns!

Blue One Shoulder: Gap

Pink one piece: Target

Yellow Bikini: Old Navy

Also, I am not a crazy bathing suit buyer! Two of these were bought by my sisters!

AZ Strong Beer Festival

This post is late...sorry! A few weeks ago we went to the AZ Strong Beer Festival and it was awesome. We went to the festival with 3 of my brother in laws and one sister in law and we also ran in to my husband's Uncle and his wife which was awesome to see them! To say that the beer was strong would be an understatement. It was a really cool festival and I can't wait to go again next year...although I will do a few things differently. For example, I will eat during the festival. I thought I was okay because I ate before, but no, that beer is strong and I should have ate during as well! Also, next year I will buy VIP tickets so we can get in early and not have to wait in line to get in. We had sooo much fun...here are some pics of the craziness that occurred that day...

When Mark gets a real tattoo this is where it will be!

Mark wants to grow a mustache like this guy!

This guy's shirt was funny

Us with Justin's Uncle and his wife!

Also, there were more pictures I could not include because there were quite a few middle fingers and some articles of clothing missing (not mine!) It was fun though...see you next year AZ Strong Beer Festival!

Kitty Love Friday

Trying to get ready to go in the morning can be very difficult when your cat is always in the way! I swear everywhere I turn he is meowing at me to feed him. This morning he was laying in my closet, on my toms. I literally have to pick him up and move him to get him out of there! So lazy!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my mother's 50th Birthday so I wanted to add a special post to say Happy Birthday! My mom is a supermom and super grandma! This weekend we took her to get her nails done and then we went out to dinner to celebrate. Here are a few pics from our dinner...

Kitty Love Friday

So as I have said before on here, Oscar often joins me in the morning when I pump. Well the other morning he actually had the nerve to try and drink my milk and I snapped a picture of him before shooing him away.

I don't know why this guy thinks he can get away with anything! In other news, this week Everly rolled over from her back to her belly for the first time. I was so excited and proud when I saw her do it. We also have a fairly busy weekend coming up and for me it is a 3-day weekend! Tomorrow we are going to go for a hike in the morning and try to bring the dogs so we will see how that goes. Then in the afternoon we are going to the Arizona Strong Beer Festival which is the beginning of Arizona Beer Week! On Sunday we are having breakfast with Justin's Aunt and Uncle who are in town from Utah and I am super excited for the family to get together and see Everly. She has changed so much in the past week! Then Sunday afternoon I have a soccer game so I am going to be one exhausted lady Sunday night...but atleast I get Monday to recover!

Happy Friday!

Last Night's Dinner

Our Valentine's Dinner at True Food Kitchen was delicious. We both got to try some things we never had before and our entree's were still pretty healthy. We sat on the covered patio which was heated and very nice and shared a bottle of red wine. It was a lot of fun! Here is what we had...


We shared a gluten free chicken sausage pizza with fennel



I had sea bass with peruvian purple potatoes and brussel sprouts with Umami

 

Justin had Salmon with quinoa and beets and a lemon salad

 For dessert we were supposed to have a trio of desserts which included a sorbet, some banana thing and then this flourless chocolate cake. I don't mess around and so we just had them give us a trio of chocolate cakes instead..haha. It was rich but I am a chocolate lover so it was yummy!



Happy Valentine's Day

Everly just wanted to stop in and say Happy Valentine's Day (and happy 100th B-day Arizona and one of Ev's babysitters Ashley!). Justin and I will be going out for a tasty dinner tonight while Grandma watches Ev. Hope you have a love filled day!

Arizona Best Fest

Tomorrow is Arizona's birthday and this year is very special because it is the Centennial as AZ was established as a state in 1912. There have been events going on all year all over the state to celebrate it and this past weekend was the big AZ Best Fest in downtown Phoenix. It was a FREE festival to celebrate the centennial and it was awesome! Everly and I went with my sister Kim, her husband, Doug, and little Cameron as well as my sister Krystyn and her fiance, Tony. We all packed into one car (it was tight) and headed down to the festival around noon on Saturday. It could not have been a more perfect day out. First of all, I must start with the fact that you won't see Justin in any photos because he had to work :( and you will only see this one of Everly because she slept the ENTIRE time.

She didn't wake up until we were leaving and was super cute on the ride home!

The festival had a ton of different activities. We started off in the sports section which had a lot of history about all of AZ sports. It was really cool.

ASU is very proud over their Nebraska victory in 1996!



The Rohr Family with the AZ Cardinals mascot Big Red!



There were also lots of different vendors sponsoring the event with different activities. One sponsor was Extra gum which also sponsors some soccer team and so they had a little shooting area. Both of these two played college soccer but none of us made it in!

Kim shooting

Doug shooting

Another sponsor was Shamrock Farms. They had a few different activities. One was milking a cow as much as you could in 30 seconds and Tony took this pretty seriously. It was pretty funny.



"I'm from Nebraska" Haha!

 

They also gave away little stickers and tattoos and FREE chocolate milk and you got to spin the wheel for a prize! We won a free ticket to the Shamrock Farms Tour, which I never knew existed and looks pretty cool! 



Krystyn putting on her milk mustache!



Me with my milk mustache that just looks like a bandaid..haha!



Cam and his crown :)

  We moved on to the carnival games next which was a lot of fun. Cam caught some fish and won a monkey!



Yay! I won! p.s. check out Kim's cow tattoo!



Almost!



Tony shooting





At this point we got pretty hungry! They had lots of food vendors and I was most excited about the food trucks! I ate from the Super Farm Food truck and it was delicious.

Yummy pulled pork and spicy cole slaw!

 

Krystyn with her corn!

  

Tony and his fry bread!

  

Really...does it get any cuter!

 

Jets flying over during our lunch

 



Yay Arizona!

Next we moved on to my favorite part...the beer garden! We got to sample a bunch of tasty beers and the favorite of the day was probably the Ponderosa IPA from the Prescott Brewing Company!

The beer made Cam sleepy :)

After the beer tasting we tried our luck once more at this very difficult game where you toss a ball into a bucket. I know it doesn't sound hard but the angle made it difficult...it just kept bouncing out! We were not really successful but Doug still won a Hulk for Cameron!

We ended the day with the boys sharing an icee (how cute) and the girls sharing some fry bread with cinnamon and sugar! Yummy!

 Check out this hilarious couple full of USA pride that we saw on the way out and then these adorable pictures of Everly in the car on the way home :)

We had so much fun and kept saying how much we wished they would have this festival every year!
