July

July, July, July.... I would rather wish this month didn't exist this year. Overall.. it was bleh.  

BUT...

Over 4th of July weekend there was a fire ban so no fireworks allowed! LAME!! So we went up to Hatcher's Pass for a few hours. 

These ruins... the feeling in this area is so eerie. 

 HAHA!

Yay for selfie sticks

 Hershey was sure cute this month. Just kidding, she is always cute... mostly spazzy, but cuter when she sleeps. ;)

My mom and sister went on vacation during Raspberry season and told me to pick them some for jam. I sent this photo saying, "sucks to suck!" hahah I'm so nice.. 

 My cousin took some family photos of us and they turned out better then great!! This is one of my favorites of my siblings and I.

 Bear Paw weekend rodeo!

 Such a happy dog!

 A friend I made in Virginia has family in Alaska, and before I met her they planned on a trip up here and voila! Here she is in Alaska!! I miss her!

June

Oh June. You were quite the roller coaster! But you definitely had some highlights!

My dad took us out for a 4-wheel ride around Eklutna Lake! I haven't been to the very backside in years. Dallan has never been so it was fun to experience that with him. 

 Fam Bam

 Gorgeous mountain views. 

 I just love sneaking up on sleeping pups! So cute!

 We celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary! And hey, a glimpse at our new place!

 Told you, I'm obsessed! And do you like my work outfit?

 We took my little sister to the shooting range with us to test out our new hand gun! Dallan wanted to take his rifle too. 

 Seriously!!!?! I can't handle her.

 My brother had to get emergency eye surgery after he got it cut during a basketball game. Ouchie!

 Dallan and I hiked half way up Baldy.

 Hello new apartment! 

 It's been outrageously hot for Alaska and our place doesn't have AC. So frozen meat helped cool me down! 

 For Father's day we took him out to eat and played some tennis. 

 My best friend finally got engaged and asked me to be her bridesmaid!!! Can it be July 2016 yet?! I can't wait!

May Recap

Here I am, trying to remember what I did this summer besides work... Here is what happened in May!

Yeah so remember my one hike a week goal ...HA! Yeah that's funny... It didn't happen because, well, life. But how pretty is my little town?!

 Went on a hike for my brother's birthday. Big 22 woohoo!

My cute mom.

 Just missing my youngest brother in this cute sibling photo!

 Trying out this selfie stick stuff.. 

 My best friend graduated college and is now a first grade teacher!!! I'm so proud of her! 

 OBSESSED WITH MY DOGS! 

 Auntie and little cousin. I love this photo!

 Bri likes the selfie stick too! HAHA! 

 A moose decided to hang out with me while I stained a deck, or I went to the other side of the house... 

 Some customers have the weirdest things in their houses... like this cut out of Johnny Depp! The crew had too much fun with this guy.

 My very good looking video assistant! 

 Mama and baby moose!

 Little sister's dance recital! She looks thrilled...

 D and I's FIRST COUCH!!!! We had yet to own a couch almost 3 years into marriage until now! YAY!
