...First time for everything...

We have learned that Boomer has taken a liking to Sprinklers.  This was his first ever interaction with one at my in-law's house. We often take him on walks to the nearby Charter School and let him off his leash for a bit so he can run around.  Well,  sometimes when we get there, the Sprinklers are on.  These Sprinklers are much more powerful that the one in this video, but does that scare our dog?! I think not! He's a wuss when it comes to loud or abrupt sounds, but his naivity could be mistaken for fearlessness more often than not.
Whenever he sees a sprinkler, I know his inner monologue must be saying "Yeah!!!! Sprinklers! Today just got good!" It's a good thing he's easily bathed and groomed.

It took him awhile to figure out the concept of fetch.  I'd throw something, and he'd either lose track of where it went, or just look at me like "What, and...?"  We're happy he's finally got it figured out.

Puppies and Graduation...

We have been wanting to have a little puppy ever since we got married. However, we lived in a small basement apartment for our first three years of being our own "family unit," and could not have pets. Besides that, Pac always says "I'd rather feed us first before anything else." Smart and sound. When we moved into the new house, we finished school and decided we would look for a puppy. We decided on getting a boxer. Pac has always wanted a bulldog, but with my allergies, it wasn't as much of an option. So we got Boomer! He's so full of energy and loves people.

Here are a couple pictures from Graduation. We were able to graduate at the same time, which was so awesome!

So, we made a blog!!!

So this is us! Pac and I have been married for 3 and a half years this month. We got married in 2007 and time has definitely flown by. I decided this was a nice alternative to keep family and friends informed about us rather than just posting pictures on Facebook. lol! We have a lot of family members that live out of state, and since they keep blogs that I looooove to read, it sounded fun.

The above picture is from when Pac and I went to Brian Regan last year. He is so great.

We just bought a new house last year (as in December 2010), and were officially moved in December 2. It's crazy to think we've been living here for 7 months already. It's a constant chore decorating, but that's a whole other story! I like to think I can decorate, and I do my best, but sometimes, good ol' Pac just has a better spatial eye that I could ever hope to have.

Paxton is a DIE HARD Notre Dame Fan. This is a picture of him last Fall on the Notre Dame campus when he and a co-worker were able to go to the Utah v. Notre Dame football game while on a work trip. I was student teaching at the time, otherwise, you'd see Kara in the negative space to the left of him. :)
