Ok... so big news... we are buying a house. I included a few picture of the outside, the view of from the backyard. I we have to do a few things inside when we get some mula but for now we love it! We are just waiting on the millions of things that have to be done before we can actually say it is ours and all ours..(well you know what I mean)....Its pretty stinkin cute...Its in a quiet neighborhood and we think its pretty neat!

I think I might have PEED!!!!!!

Wow!!! Eric saw this on his hike. He was on his way home in the truck and ran it over by accident! THIS IS SO YUCKY!! It give me the CHILLS!!! It is like three feet long!!!

One Year and a lot has happened!

Well On July 25th Eric and I celebrated our one year anniversary! We spent the day with our friends Paul and Sarah and Montezuma's Castle and also went to dinner in Sedona at a yummy cowboy restaurant! We had some super great caramel apples that I wish I had a picture of!!! Anyway...back to so much has happened in the last year! We moved to a new apartment in Yuma and started our school year last year! In September we traveled to NY to Tonya and Marks wedding and in October we welcomed Evan into the family our little nephew!Then November came and we welcomed our newest edition KALI!!! Christmas was spent at my parents in Colorado then the NEW YEAR came and boy were we in for some surprises that we didn't expect! The economy went to the pooper and the day after my birthday the school we were working for decided to tell me that they would not be offering me a contract for the next year. Which also happened to be the day before we were to leave for Florida for Spring Break! So we started lookin for jobs and decided that we would pack up and drive to NY for the summer to hang with the fam! HOW fun! So in the mean time I took 11 days off school every Friday and some other days to sit by the pool and interview for an online teaching job. Which I got and let me tell you what a pain that can be! We then applied for at least 20 jobs together to hopefully get out of YUMA!!!!! We got ONE CALL!!!! So we set up for an interview in CAMP VERDE AZ on our way to NY. Boy were we relying on this to fall through. Eric interviewed for 1.5 hours then they wanted to talk to me about volleyball... so anywho long story short we both got jobs here and couldn't believe it!!!!!!!! We didn't have to go back to Yuma to live.. and the school in Yuma called me to see if I could come back!!! WHAT IDIOTS!!!! So ok.. we came back from NY drove to Yuma and pack a uhaul in 118 degree hot sun weather and got heat stroke I swear.. and we started working and WE LOVE IT!!!! So that has been our crazy year!

One Fish, Two Fish, Three Fish.....

We spent the weekend at Eric's parentsl akehouse in Freedom, NY. We had so much fun in between the rain. I think the highlight was when we had to come in with the giant fish Eric caught(20inches) we had to bring it in because it didn't fit on the stringer. So we decided to head back out! SO GLAD we did because I caught a biggy! But before we did we all got back in the boat and pushed off.. well Erics shirt got caught on the post and fell in the lake! I didn't want to laugh because I didn't want to get yelled at for laughing but then Tonya and I were stranded without a paddle because of course when I asked if we needed one Eric's response was "NO"! Well, I don't know how to use a motor and got us stranded until Tonya thought of using a life jacket to get us back to shore! CLASSIC!!! We had fun. I only managed to tangle up my line in a tree three times!!!! That is good I thought! Then on Saturday I caught an 18 in fish! So great! here you go! The one that Eric is holding with the Camo on is actually MY fish! I don't touch them.. just catch them!

Some of my favorites.

WOW!!!

THIS IS NOT A BABY GREMLIN!!!

This is perhaps the GROSSEST yet most interesting thing I have seen in well forever. I have never ever seen a baby bat! Erics mom found it while she was gardening next to the chimney. Apparently it got kicked out of the home for bats! It was still alive when we found it! Eric looks excited doesn't he! I suggest not touching them.. it was grossly new baby slimy! I couldn't get a good enough look at it so I too some pictures to look at later! How fun huh!

Who doesn't love the Falls!

This place is amazing.. It is unbelievable the amount of water that goes over these in one minute.. let alone a day. I love it! It is so pretty here. We just drove up to Goat Island for a looksy. We did the maid of the mist last year! Freakin AWESOME!!!! Any who... love it!

WORST MOVIE OF THE YEAR AWARD!

I was seriously disappointed in this movie. Mainly because the whole movie followed the book pretty well until you got to the end. Then they totally threw you for a loop and by doing this they really pissed off every viewer possible that ever read the book. Now I can see if you didn't read the book you wouldn't know the difference. So imagine for a moment.....sitting in a theatre for TWO HOURS crying.. sniffing.. hearing others do the same.. then at the end BAAAAMMMM!! totally different than the book! That is not right and it pisses me off! I am a huge book fan and when the movie comes out I think they should follow the book. Yes, not every single thing.. but for goodness sake...the ending should follow it! IM SO ANNOYED I spent 17.50 on a crap movie that only made me angry! Sorry I had to VENT!

Im pretty sure I have THEEEEEE CUUUUUTEESSSTTT kitties in the world! I know most of you blog about your children and the fun you have with them....well I sometimes find myself saying how much I love these little fur balls! I can't imagine what I will be like when I have a human child!!! and not a Kat Child! Anyway... we are in the midst of of packing up the apartment.. and I am training for a new online teaching job the I just got a couple weeks ago... so I have been spending a lot of time in this spare computer room as a I call it packing stuff up listening to some music and then also doing some required training for my new class... so of course the girls must be near. Kali for example.. if she does not know where you are she feels the need to MEOW.. very loudly until she hears your voice NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY! Maggie needs to be touching Eric if he is in bed and going to sleep.. so is Maggie but she will not settle in until she is touching him and her paw is on his chest! Any who.. these pics are to show you how much they need to be by me and how much they LOVE the printer! if it goes off they are instantly waiting to see the end product.. as you see here they both tuckered out and got tired of waiting! Kalie was too tired to even MOVE! So there you have it! My cute KATS!

Now to see Cody, Kim and the Girls!

So right after we found out that Matt and Christy where coming to San Diego I found out that Cody, Kim and the girls were coming! They were goin on a surprise trip to Disneyland and SeaWorld! SO of course... I HAD TO GO! SO Eric and I took the day off and went to Sea World with the girls! I was so happy to see them. I miss them so so much! We sat in the splash zone at the Shamu show and lucky us we didn't get too wet! We had the perfect seats. We sat right next to the platform where they came up and did their tricks. I saw Shamu so close it was so great! We touched the starfish, Stingrays and saw the sesame street and gang in 3-D. I took Ash on a little water roller coaster.. I don't know if she was too happy with me.. infact at one point she yelled " I HATE YOU FOR TAKING ME ON THIS RIDE!" but she forgot it soon after and tried to convince Eric to sit in the front row! We saw some sharks oh it was just a great day! I love them so much! Thanks guys for such a wonderful time!

A little trip to San Diego to see Matt and Christy!

SO about three weeks ago we took a trip to San Diego because Matt and Christy were coming! Well... We got a hotel close to the gaslamp and enjoyed San Diego with my Bro! It was so nice! I hate being to far away but at least San Diego is close and they love it there. We spent Saturday night walking around the Village Seaport and the bay then went to the gaslamp for dinner! It was some Pizza Place that was so so good but I can't remember the name! Sunday we went to the peir again and then caught the ferry to Coronado. We walked around looked at the Hotel Del and walked on the beach a little. I always find something new I love about San Diego when I go there! Thanks Matt and Christy! We had FUN! Here are some pictures of us baby Evan(Eric's sisters baby) and the Hotel Del oh and San Diego from Coronado!

VACATION!

What is it about vacation that makes you want to move to the vacation spot so badly? I have been wondering about this question ever since we got back from Florida. We went to see Eric's Grandparents who live in the Villages in Florida. It ROCKS! like we are talking take your golf cart everywhere! Golfing..swimming... which you must be over 30 to attend the adult pool in these retirement places..or old women call and tattle tale on you as if you were doing cannon balls off the side of the pool and splashing off the old people when you were really just lying in a lounge chair getting some sun! Still bitter but I will get over it! Now.. on to our exciting vacation.. we went to Daytona beach, Busch Gardens(Awesome!!!!!!) Manatee Springs where we went snorkling and that was cool... I didn't get the chance to see a alligator and I was so excited to see on in the WILD...we went to the gulf coast a little redneck town called Cedar Keys. So fun. I will post pics... All very cool.. 1st Manatee Springs where I didn't see the alligator but saw snapping turtles.. and fish! next Cedar Keys... and some other random shots....hope you enjoy!wait reverse that .. cedar first then manatee... they call it manatee springs because in the winter time the manatees come there to mate!
