JULY 2009

July is yet another month of go, go, go! More softball, camping, playing! Justin played with Jeff in a softball tourney in Mount Pleasant and did awesome!!! They took second place!





BEAR LAKE BABY!!!
Justin and I at Bear Lake! Justin came for the first year and dealt with all the sun we get at the lake all day (he has such fair skin he's not necissarily the biggest fan of sun-tanning :) ) but was a good sport and loved being there! Lots of tube rides, wave-runners, skiing, wake-boarding!

Every evening after a long day in the sun we shower, eat, and start off a night of games! It gets kinda crazy with all of us...not competitive at all!
Chillin at the beach!!


Justin, mom, Debbie, and Ben had a blast playing golf toss down at the beach! They played game after game with each one neck and neck!

Justin's first time wakeboarding EVER!!! He is such a natural athlete he can do anything! He got up the first time wakeboarding and did great!

Getting psyched for the his first time!



Spanish Fork Rodeo!!


How bout it....we had a child without even getting pregnant!!!! In July of 2009 Justin and I decided to get a puppy!!!! We found a family selling some puppies outside of Albertson's and once we walked up to the box and saw the darling puppies we were goners! We loved each one, but found Bugsie in the corner of the box and fell in love! She was darling!! She was the runt of the group and probably half the size of the others! Definitely the one we wanted!

Bugsie slept all the time as a puppy!!! ALL the time! It was so sweet!
Justin says she takes after her mom (aka me) and sleeps like a zombie!! In the craziest positions!
She takes nap with mom and dad!!

One of the most precious pictures! They REALLY were both asleep!!! It was the cutest thing!!


Up the canyon for Lyss'a birthday July 30th! It was one of the first weeks we had Bugsie and everyone just loved her!


Justin, Bugsie and I on a hot date :) We went to dinner then to a drive in movie in the back of the truck! Bugsie loves cuddling just as much as I do!


Bugsie just cuddles up to anyone and anything---apparently even the teddy bear!

When we first got Bugs she was 1.4lbs! She was so so tiny she fit right inside a cute little dog-carrying bag which we took her everywhere in!! Haha even the movies! It looked like a purse so we took her to the store, the movies, and even church once! (I'll explain that one was because we were traveling from St George to home and stopped for church on the way in Cedar; because it was a million degrees outside we couldn't leave her in the car so we HAD to take her in!! haha it felt like we were criminals because we were trying to hide her! The funny thing is I don't think ANYONE saw or knew or noticed it was a dog in that "purse")


Mom and Dad helped Justin and I learn to make blackberry and blackberry/raspberry jam this year! It tastes soooo good and hopefully we will remember how to make more next year!!
mmmm...the jam is so so so good! Ta-da!


Me and Cosmo! Cosmo was one of our Christmas presents when I was 10 years old! He was one of our favorites!! He was such a good dog! We loved him! He was so old and had so many health problems my parents decided it was time to let him go. He was too sick to be left alive. This was the last time and last picture of us together! We miss him!

JUNE 2009

June as well as the rest of the summer keeps us as busy as ever! We have had so many fun times and seems like we're always going going going! Here as some of the fun things we did to fill up our summer days!


Nat asked Justin and I to babysit one day!It was so fun to play with Rease and Rhen! They were so cute and so much fun.



Rease LOVES seeing our chicken and goats! She says everytime she comes over, "Chickens....goats? Feed chickens!!!" She loves feeding our animals out in the barn. It's so funny because how she says "chickens" is more like "chee-kins". She's such a good lil helper!

Helping Uncle Justin feed the goats!

THUMBS UP DUDE!!!
Rease and I watched The Little Mermaid. It was so cute...it was actually my FAVORITE movie when I was a little girl so it brought back alot of memories watching it with Rease.


In June Justin and I went up the canyon with our friends Kurt and Shae for a few days to go camping, 4wheeling, shooting! It was a blast!

Justin got these hammock-swings for his birthday and I LOVE them! They are so relaxing and comfy! Shae and I just sun-bathed all day watching the boys play a million rounds of horseshoes!

Justin and Kurt playing one of their million rounds of horseshoes! I think it's an addiction problem they both have!!!

Mmmm...breakfast of champions! Breakfast tortilla's that Justin made from home and wrapped in tinfoil to heat on the fire! Truly genious...they were delicious!

Here's our home away from home! The Mansion Tent! This thing is HUGE! We fit a blow-up queen sized mattress, 2 massive duffle-bags, a few lounge chairs and a fold up table to eat on!

We had alot of gear we took, which didn't make packing or unloading much fun, but the trip sure was fun! Two 4wheelers, coolers of food (prob over did it on the food, which we always do), a few duffle bags, chairs, games, table, man...it felt like we took the whole house!

The back of our truck for...um....4 days, maybe.

June for us Losee's also means softball, softball, and more softball! We Love playing coed together and have been asked by alot of teams to play since they get 2 of us! This tourney was one of the many Delta Softball Tournaments! Tradition!

Steph's homerun hit!!! Haha ok...maybe not, but sure trying!

Gettin' ready for the pitch..

Justin's homerun hit!! Ok...or maybe out to right field for a double since he almost always hits it to the right side for a double if not a triple!

This tourney was especially fun because we both got to play middle infield! Justin at short and me at second!!! It was awesome! We were able to be right next to eachother and turn all the double plays we wanted!
Justin's game face. Gettin' ready for the big game!



Rease turned 2 this year so we all went over to Beutlers to celebrate it and party!!
