Update

Wow, it is crazy how fast time flies by! Jesse and I have just finished a round of classes and have already started the next round. We did not get a break in between. :( It's been awhile since the last post and I don't remember when it was that we had our weekend adventure with our dogs. We wanted to spend time with them on a Saturday, but we wanted to get out of the house. We decided to go to a dog park over in Round Rock. The pups had a blast and we had fun too. They were running around smelling all sorts of things. They wouldn't even slow down for a sip of water. The best part was when we got home. It was so cute. I was preparing dinner and I looked over on the couch and Jesse, Molly, and Rowdy were out! They were just absolutely pooped!

Here's Rowdy just prancing around. He is always camera ready!


Molly has grown so much and has become so beautiful. She has a beautiful coat and it looks great in the wind!

Here's Dad and the kids! ;) so cute!

We also had our address painted at the end of our driveway. We were both very excited about this. This is what it looks like now!

GO EXPRESS!!!!

The Round Rock Express are on a winning streak!!!!! They have won the last 5 games! This now puts them in 1st place for the PCL American South Division!!! This is very exciting since they had such a shaky start. Yes, they won their season opener, but it was quickly downhill from there. I'm so glad to see them going out there and kicking butt!!! They have a great team this year and I know that they will be able to keep it up! Let's go boys!

Pictured above is Yordany Ramirez. He is an outfielder for the Express. Right now, he has one of the best batting averages in AAA with a .366!! AMAZING!!!!

One year later, and yummy still!

One year later, and it's time to pull the cake topper out of the freezer. Unwrapping the cake was the hardest part. I don't remember who wrapped it up. It had to be my mom or grandmother. Either way, it was really hard to get all the wax paper and ceran wrap. Once we got it opened we were able to try it. We were both a little nervous and worried about how it would taste. Luckily though, it was pretty good! The cake part was a little dry, but what can you expect after being frozen for a year? The best part was the frosting! It was so good!


Here's the cake in ceran wrap. The frosting was falling off of the cake because of the ceran wrap.
Here we are feeding each other!
It got a little messy! haha
Whoops!

Yeah, so we're kind of obsessed...

So0o0o Jesse and I have pretty much become obsessed with the Express. We have started to go to a game almost every night if we don't have anything else going on. We have suckered a few people into going to the games, and we have also ran into friends at the game! We also went to a Question and Answer session with 4 of the express players and then watched Sandlot at the Alamo Drafthouse. It was with pitchers Jeremy Johnson, Ryan McKeller, Tyler Lumsden, and catcher Lou Santangelo. We actually learned a lot of neat things about them. For example, Ryan McKeller graduated from Pflugerville! Here are a few pictures.

Here's Mark Saccomanno up to bat!
Me and Jesse!
Joyce and I. And that's Jesse's boss, Steve, to the right! lol
Here are the boys, left to right: Tyler Lumsden, Ryan McKeller, Lou Santangelo, Jeremy Johnson

Round Rock Express

Sorry that we have not written in a while. We have been busy with school work and express games! For Christmas I bought Jesse the Fireworks package for our local affiliate team to the Houston Astros, Round Rock Express. The Fireworks package is for every Friday night game and a few games here and there. We have found ourselves at the games at least once a week when they are in town. It's great fun and we love it! We sit right behind the visitors dugout so we have a great view and a ton of opportunities to catch foul balls. This is the view that we have from our seats. Pretty awesome! We love it!

Utah, Day 4

Day 4 was the day we flew home! I was really sad to be leaving. I loved the mountains so much and just couldn't get enough! So0o0o... I was taking pictures on the way to the airport and while on the plane. Jesse thought it was silly, but was nice enough to let me continue with my 'mountain with snow' obsession. Geez how I love that man! One thing that we were looking forward to when getting home was natural heat from the sun! haha... needless to say, when we got out of the airport in Austin I had to pull my jacket out. :( Either way, it's nice to be home!

Utah, Day 3

Sunday was day 3! Part of the reason we went to SLC was to attend General Conference. We had a great time and it's always nice to have reassurance in everything that we do for the Lord.


That evening we went to Temple Square to take pictures while the sun sets. The flowers were in full bloom and everything was gorgeous! It was beautiful! Here are pictures from that.
