Ross the Boss Goes for a Swim

Yesterday Steve, Roscoe and I packed a picnic and headed to the lake. It was a beautiful day-- very hot and perfect for a cool dip. Roscoe loved the ride to the lake...he was in doggie heaven with his head out the window and in the breeze the whole time. It was Roscoe's first time going swimming and he jumped right in! He didn't so much love the rocky shore or the waves that kept bumping up against the rocks but he loved being in the water. Here's a few snapshots I got of him enjoying his first swim!

Hangin at Girl's Camp!

This week is Girl's Camp and even though I'm not in Young Women's anymore, I've still been able to go up and spend time during the day with the girls at camp. It has been so much fun and I love getting to hang out with Diane & Cindy too! (my past counselors) This year camp is in Glendale and it is beautiful! Lots of trees and a lake with a trail to walk around. The theme for camp this year is "Survivor 2009" and every ward has a tribe name and cheer. Our ward is the Fede Tribe (Fede is "faith" in Italian) Yesterday when I went up to camp, I took Roscoe with me and man did he have a blast! He loved seeing all the girls and getting pampered with all the attention they gave him. Tonight Steve and I are going up to watch their skits and also for dinner. I love our Young Women! Can't wait to see you today girlies!!

We finished!!!!

Last Saturday Steve and I finished the fence in our backyard that we've spent MANY hours working on!!!! It was so exciting to see something that we had made ourselves and to be proud of it!! Roscoe likes it too--now he can go outside more since I don't have to watch him when he's out there! We are loving our backyard and feel like we can use it even more now with the fence up!! YAY!!!!! Thanks for all your hard work honey--we make a good team!!

Ridiculously Cute!!

It's been awhile since I've posted pictures of our not-so-little puppy Roscoe! This week I got a few good ones and wanted to share. Steve and I also had fun one day playing dress-up with him. He is now almost 7 months old. We love having this lil guy around!!

Hi Ho Hi Ho..It's off to work we go!!

Ever since we moved into our home in August 2007, Steve and I have been wanting to put up a fence in our backyard. Getting Roscoe made that idea a little more of a necessity--so we decided to take it on ourselves!!! Neither Steve or I has ever put up a fence before so we are learning together. We have learned that it is a LOT of work, takes a lot of time and precision...but the good thing is that it has become our project and since we have spent so many hours working on it together it has given us a chance to spend that much more time with each other! I am lucky to have a husband who is smart and hardworking and was willing to take this on. Last Saturday we completely one side of the fence!! We were so excited to see the fruits of our labors. Just 2 more sides to go!!! We can do it baby!!
