We thought it couldnt get worse

Having a 75# dog in bed is something we are not particularily fond of, but deal with.

But when mr. deflated basketball came to bed too we had to draw the line.

Nice try ez

i've been emotional lately--i know.
sorry to anyone who has talked to me as of recently.
friday was my last day in boulder.
i had a great time working with rob.
it was really hard to leave.

as of today i'm with exempla on their lutheran campus.
i'm still doing ortho
i still don't know what to do with my life,
but,
this is a good option in the meantime!
my commute has lessened from 45(+) min to 10.
right now we're in orientation and it makes you want to jab your eyes with a dull pencil but i'm hoping that it gets better than this. .....
otherwise i may be begging for my old job back.

When you give a mouse a cookie

Or when you give ez a ball....

Ez loves to play soccer, but usually punctures the ball, so we thought there would be no way he could puncture a basketball. Wrong. 20 seconds into the game the game was over.

weekend

Ahhhhh....the weekend was a blur--
my favorite!!!

This past friday was most likely my last friday off for a long while, so my parents and i hiked quandry peak. i'ts a tough climb (capturing 3300 ft of elevation gain in only 2.5 miles) and they did great!

saturday my parents did my honey do chores, which had been on my nagging list for sometime! go mom and dad! it was great. they: cleaned out my refrigerator (which was rather embarrassing) and my kitchen, fixed my bathroom sink, put in a medicine cabinet (my stuff has a home now!) and fixed our swamp cooler-----all before noon!

sunday--
liz and i tackled mount elbert, the tallest mtn in co. we had a killer pace going up. i couldn't help but gather satisfaction every time we passed a group of dudes. (naturally competitive i suppose?)
like always, it was beautiful up there. a lot of snow has melted, even just since hiking massive 2 weeks ago. below--mt massive as seen from going up elbert

liz is much better with my slow ancient camera than dallas and i combined. she got a sweet air shot---so cool. thanks liz!
sunday night--- volunteer at church preschool and in bed at 8:30.
exhausting weekends rock.

Hi!

Today my parents and I hiked quandry peak! They did fantastic!

Who would have thought?

Ezra likes eating dill pickels.

What a weird dog

ice cream

this is a subject close to my family's heart.
in the holste household, bunny tracks ice cream is a subject
not to be taken lightly.
we fight over it.
we plan each scoop from the box to strategically
get all the goodies for ourselves.

usually dallas isn't around so ez and i get our own box.
it's a perfect match up.
i get the goodies.
ez gets the vanilla ice cream surrounding.
nothing could be better.....

SATURDAY
andi: (eating out of the box and "maybe?" dropping
ez a few here and there)
dallas: are you just digging out the good stuff
and leaving just ice cream behind?
andi: no (i really wasn't. it was level across the top)

SUNDAY AFTERNOON
dallas: is there any ice cream left?
(like ez and i could eat the whole thing)
andi: yes
dallas: (eating) wow! this is good stuff!
WOW! look at this!
andi: are you just digging out the good stuff?

apparently the double standard rule applies in our house

SUNDAY NIGHT
andi: (going to get ice cream)
did you eat all the chocolate out?
dallas: it was really good! it was the glory hole

ugh. men.
what am i left with?
just plain vanilla
this is the last time we tell dallas where the ice cream is

Hi!

From the top of mt massive!

Only my boss

in case you can't tell--- it says: "stop talking"
