BIrthday weekend with family

My birthday weekend in NC was amazing! I ate way too much food, yummy ice cream cake (my all time favorite), and most important Holly had a blast. Marian (GAGA) and Lana (great grandmommy) came down and let me tell you, Holly LOVESSS them! It truly is a blessing to have such an amazing family. I just can't say it enough. The photos can explain most of the greatness :)

Sleepy Holly and her GAGA

Breezy and Lorie..one spoiled dog already

Where's Gaga???

Headed to the park. Windy and cold. All of us aren't blessed to live in Hawaii! ;) 

Swinging after Lorie's 6-8 mile walk. :) It was Windy! LOve this photo.

The famous naked Candice Ann!

The men and animals relaxing. See the dog? I can't believe fat cat didn't kill the dog.

Brandon saying " I swear to god if this goes on facebook" well, this isn't facebook, right?

First time bowling

They had $1 dollar bowling today on base! Totally awesome! "We" decided to take Holly today! I really wanted to go. Brandon and I have not been bowling since we started dating (8 years ago). He has always used some great excuse on why he hates bowling. Well, Holly and I both beat him today. No wonder he hates it so much :) HAHA!  We had so much fun though! He now says he will go more with us!

I must get a strike!

Determined to get her fingers smashed. She could not wait patiently on her ball to return.

Oh, Oh ...wait and SCORe! then she jumped around saying " yay, yay , YAY!" once hitting the pins.

The people beside us said" i wish i got that excited about bowling"

say cheese!

                                                              Daddy, your so silly!

Valentine's day!

Valentine's day! Holly had a AWESOME valentine's day thanks to her amazing family :) She pretty much got anything a girl could dream of, chocolate, rose, stuff animals, money, cards, stickers,clothes and lots of loving! I was going to  say by far the best valentines day ever but It is only her second one but it was still the best one!

                                                           First valentine! She was so thrilled!

Of course, she thought the dog needed to dress up too!

Her cute shirt!

                                                   
                Valentine's day card with a surprise! She said "MONEY...OOOOO!!"
                     I asked if she wanted a tricycle with it and she said "YEAHH!!"

                                                               
                                                    Chocolate..who could resist!

She sings and dances with the elephant..its pretty funny and cute!

Totally in love!

The duck said "kiss me" I read it and she followed instructions.

Resting from all the excitement

                                                       Making daddy a valentine.

Flower from Daddy...later demolish by the puppy!

Smells good!

newest member of the family....

We got a brindle boxer...named ??? We can't decide. We are  thinking about layla, maggie, twix, lexie, addie, miley?? Any suggestions? We just can't seem to find a name that "FITS". She is the sweetest dog ever! She is so cute and loving. Holly and her are already becoming best buds. After moon, how could anyone resist a boxer?? Yes, she is a full blooded akc registered boxer. Someone said she looked like a pit..whatever :) We ended up having a FULL bed last night. Brandon,me,Holly, the dog and ginger! WHEW! I guess the dog and Holly woke up around the same time last night and both talked their way into the bed. Yup, we are suckers! Anyways, we will love her just as much as ginger and she will now be included in our family pictures from now on.

:)

This is the picture I feel in love with and decided I had to have her.

I took pictures of her parents when I picked her up, gives us an idea of how big she will be...she looks just like her mom.
