7/12/08

We were driving down the road today and happened to see a peacock, and luckily I had my camera! So we pull over to take a picture, and there are like 4 of them! I have never been able to get this close to one before. They are so beautiful!

It is so smoky here! All the wildfires in california are sending their smoke this way...
Normally looking out this window, we see mountains... see any? They aren't that far away at all! Crazy!

Well, our friends Seth and Heather (see last post) were still here today, and they have a nice new jeep. They found some jeep trails around our area, and really wanted to try one out, so this morning we took the doors and roof off and drove up to Tahoe!
It wasn't a very difficult trail, and there were some gorgeous views!


Rodeo: 6/21/08

On Saturday night, our friends Seth and Heather came out to visit, and we went to the Reno Rodeo! It was pretty fun. Josh and I had never been to a rodeo before, but we enjoyed it.
Here are a bunch of pictures! I thought I got some pretty good ones, what do you think? =)

This little boy was waaaaaaay tooo adorable! (makes us want one even more!)

My garden is growing! yay! I wanted to share some pictures!
Here is my garden (Hey, we live in a rental!)


My tomatoes are growing! I have 2 so far! mmm... I can't wait until they are ripe!


And Bell Peppers... (red, green and yellow!)


and zucchini! Yum!!!


And some random flowers. Well, I have 4 pots of flowers, a wildflower mix, delphiniums, nasturtiums, and Alyssum. I love flowers, and can't wait until they all bloom! I have one pot that has way too many planted in it. Haha... i used the wildflower mix, and they all sprouted, then I have one pot that has one sprout. weird.

Today we went up to my parents property and help them put the walls up for the second story of their garage. (live a living area above the garage.)
Here are a couple pictures of us holding the wall up while my dad Nailed it down (or would it be up? hmm...)
(Sorry for the blurriness... camera phones suck)

Well, My camera broke. My small one at least. I don't carry around my large digital camera because it is too bulky.
So yeah... today I am posting a picture of some earrings I made. =)

I know, I know, it has been a whole week.... but I was out of town for half of it! Anyways, today is the Hubby and I's first anniversary, so we went to TGIFriday's for Dinner. It was Yummy.
I had a grape martini... tasted like vodka and grape koolaid. really good.

(really bad quality = camera phone.... sorry!)
and the Fried green beans are definitely something I recommend. Even my veggie hating hubby likes them. so yummy.
