And finally a few pictures from our trip to flaming gorge. It's become the Drover's family tradition to spend a week every summer enjoying camping, relaxing, eating, and boating together. This year defiantly didn't disappoint- we soaked up every moment we could just enjoying being together. Because come next year this little camping trip is bond to get a whole lot more interesting with a little one in tow.   

These two make me so excited to have this little girl join our family- mr. dog loves baby mac and baby mac loves mr. dog. They spent lots of time playing in the water together- my favorite moment was when she gently leaned over and gave him a kiss on his nose. And then he gave her the littlest softest kiss on her cheek!   

 

Last weekend we headed up to an old cattle ranch to spend time with the drover's family. For me it was a dream- hello open land and old barns. We spent quality time with all six of our littles- we went on four wheeler adventures- we made some delicious smores- had an adult only easter egg hunt- mr. dog spent 90% of his time attempting to herd the turkeys- watched a beautiful sunset- and stared at the night sky with no city lights to obstruct the view- it was a much needed weekend. 

more photos coming...

I'm a mountain girl- born and raised. I love the trees, the dirt, the wide open places and the freedom. However there's something enchanting about the beach- almost bewitching. It's calm and beautiful but you can see the raw power behind every wave. Its amazing. I have found that the beach is absolute best place to read a book. I loved getting lost in the story with only the sound of the waves in the background- ahhh deep breath. Our few days spent on the beach in the luke warm water were just what we needed- slow and relaxing. 

home. 

It always feels great to leave on vacation but honestly nothing beats coming home. That first night back in your bed is pure heaven- and regaining that border collie foot warmer you've missed so much. We had such a fun week enjoying the beach and some serious family time. After we dig ourselves out from under a giant pile of laundry, a weeks worth of missed work, and the christmas decorations- i'll be back with more pictures to share! 

Have you ever played loaded question? It by far is my favorite game- and that means a lot coming from me as i am a non-game playing person. Anyways I don't think i have ever laughed so hard in my entire life as i did playing loaded question. A few weekends ago we spent a few days in the mountains with my co-workers and their spouses. I can honestly say i love all my co-workers and my boss- I consider each one of them a great friend. We had such a great weekend "bonding" and enjoying the beautiful wilderness. Plus i really loved that each one of them missed their pups just as much as we missed mr. dog. Case and point we aren't the only crazy ones with dogs who are treated like children!
