Papa's 80th pictures

We celebrated Papas birthday party back in July, but wanted to share pictures that I got from Aunt Staci. Just looking back on what I've shared on the blog so far, I am so happy I started it. It's great to know I can always look back, and my pictures will forever be here!

National Dog Day!

We woke up Sunday morning finding out it was National Dog Day, so of course Naaman was like 'Okay today is about Ryder', so we were up and off to take him on a little hike!









After hiking Lou's came over for a bit and played with Ryder Boy...



After Lou-Lou left both boys were tuckered out! All in all, Ryder had a wonderful day!

Jennifer & Cody gettin' hitched


One of my best friends in the whole entire world got married August 18th to one of the sweetest, kindest, and most perfect guy! I am so happy for her, and can't belive she is a wife!

I was lucky enough to meet Mama (Jennifer) and her sister Stefanie (Stefy) in the dorms at OSU and formed this amazing friendship. We lived together two different times in college and have stayed in contact since.

I got to spend alot of time with the girls over the wedding weekend, and so glad I was able to. I headed to Hermiston Wednesday morning to meet Stefy, Mama and Lacy to get our nails done! But before our appointment Stefy and I drove to my Papa & Grandma's old house in Echo...I haven't been there in Y.E.A.R.S and was surprised that I didn't have any trouble getting there. It hadn't really changed a bit and brought back so many emotions and memories when I first saw it. Christmas's with Grandma, he celebrating out birthdays, Papa giving us haircuts, running as fast as we could down the scary, 'hunted' hallway (okay not really hunted, but when you were that young, and it was that dark that meant of course it was haunted!), playing pool and pin ball , sleeping in Papa's & Grandma's waterbed, and just spening time with her. It was great driving by and having all those memories rush back.

                               

We had two more stops before our nails: Starbucks and Les Schwabs! We got some great drinks to kick off our day, and then we dropped of the truck and horse trailer off at Les Schwab's to get the tires checked before we were off to Enterprise! 



After a relaxing pedicure and manicure we were off to Enterprise; Stefy & I in my dads car and Mama & Lacy haulin' the horses. We weren't even driving for 30 minutes, and BAM...

Yep, a lovely flat tire! After we had just been so responsible and had all the tires check before we headed out! So after calling muliptle Les Schwabs one of them f.i.n.a.l.l.y said they would come help us out! We were stranded with 3 horses and 4 dogs, we pretty much looked like a traveling circus! But after a little photo shoot, we got back on the road, and were ready to go bust out some wedding stuff!
                             


I am so bummed that I didn't get pictures the day of, but once those pics are up I'll post them. Mama looked so amazing in her dress, I am pretty sure she hated everything about it, but she only has to do it once! So here are some pictures from the weekend.....








It was a wonderful weekend and I am so blessed that I was apart of it!
