Sunday's Sweet Reminder | Father's Day

I remember following him around everywhere, sitting on the floor in the mornings drinking hot chocolate while he sat next to me drinking black coffee, and sharing the same love for the outdoors; especially for trout fishing. My dad and I have ALWAYS been close.Even though there were times growing up when I thought he was just doing things to be mean, he was just protecting me.He will always be my hero. The man who has set such a good example of how a friend, father, and husband should be. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with such an amazing Dad. Thank you for always fixing my truck (EVEN ON FATHER'S DAY!!), for supporting me through every decision I have had to make, goals that I have set for myself, and for all of the advice that you give. (Weather I like it or not, it always seems to be the right stuff!) I love you Dad! Hope you have a really great day!! Love, Rosebud :)

On this Sunday, celebrate your Dad's!! Another one of Sunday's Sweet Reminders :) Have a fun Father's Day!!!


Here are some Dadisms that I would like to share:

- Life's tough; getta helmet!
- Here's the smallest violin, playing the saddest song, just for you.
- Try this! it'll put hair on your chest!!
- Ain'tcha ever heard coffee'll stunt yer growth??
- If I think so, I sweat so, and when I sweat so, I stink so, so I don't think so.

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. 
--Ephesians 6:4
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
--Psalm 103:13
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.
--Malachi 4:6  
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates. 
--Deuteronomy 6:6-9 

Thanks soooooo much for fixing Betsy!!!!!! You're the GREATEST!!!! :)

Kerista | 2012 CSU Chico Grad

Kerista is one of my dear friends. We met during our first year of college at MJC and have been friends ever since. She graduated from Modesto JC and moved up to Chico to go to the big kid school! (heehee) Every time that I talk to her she explains her many adventures and tells of all the fun shes having at this CSU. For a semester in 2011, Kerista was a part of the study abroad program and attended Kansas State University. I love this girl so much! She has such a sparkling personality that you want to be around. There is NEVER a dull moment. Congratulations Kerista!!!! I'm so incredibly happy for you :) Enjoy a few of my favorites from this session!!

MOO | They're Here!!!

Sooooooo I have been redesigning my branding and am in the process of creating new business cards, but I didn't know who to use for printing. I saw an ad on facebook for this card company called MOO and they were offering a free set of 50 facebook cards.They use your basic information for the card, you can add info or remove info, and the use your profile picture and up to 50 of your cover photos. (which is a lot of cover photos I may add...i don't think that I even had 20!! :) Today I got my order from MOO!!! These cards are super nice feeling and double sided!!...what do ya think??

Dog Washing

Yesterday after work, it was soooo HOT!! Last weekend Roper and I went to a friends house in Oakdale and spent the afternoon lounging in the sun and catching up on the latest happenings. My friend is currently re-landscaping their backyard; getting the pool resurfaced, new concrete patio, new grass, new flowers, A GARDEN!! I'm jealous :) So Roper got to hangout with Missy and Zena; which was the highlight of his day let me tell ya! He was running around, chasing lizards with Zena, trying to wrestle with Missy, and frolicking through weeds and the arena! He was having a blast!! With all this running around and mischief making, he was red with the concrete stain...........so, since the sun was out and it was so nice yesterday, I gave Mr. Roper a bath :)  Much to my surprise, he stood there on the concrete slab as I washed the red away. After he was dried off we played for a while and he modeled a little bit :)

Each of these images are very different. I had fun playing with the light and whatnot :)

I caught this shot when we went and visited the kittens.
