King of the Hill!

Yes I know I post about Socrates a lot lately but since he will be "my baby" for the next couple of years I figured I should start now!

Do you see what I see?

Yep Socrates being King of the Hill and guarding the driveway!!

Socrates!

I know you can't tell but I love Ron's dog Socrates! (Which I guess is a good thing since I'm marrying Ron!)

So because I love him here is another super cute picture of him completely sleeping on the bean bag!

One more month!!!!

Do you guys know what today is?!?!?

It's 31 days or one month until I become Mrs. Ron Truex!!

I'm so excited that it's right around the corner and I know it will be here before we know it!!

My Bridal Shower!

My Jazzy baby!!

Finally after almost three weeks my baby was all fixed and ready to get picked up!

Didn't they do a good job?!?!

Hahahaha! I wish I got the Bat Mobile! This was in the lobby of the place that fixed my car and the lady told us that it's one of the official five cars built for the first four movies and was used in the second Batman with Michael Keaton as Batman and Catwomen and Penguin as villains!

This is my baby all fixed and ready to go! I swear if cars had a tail to wag she would have been wagging it!

Konner and the B-Ball!

Last week for mutual all the Deacons in the Stake got together to have a basketball tournament!

So here are pictures of the Duckster in action! Oh and he is wearing the number 5 jersey

Konner did great and loved it! He is hoping to get to play some more!

Just a ride!

The nice thing about having a dog that is almost like a horse is you get to go on wagon rides!

I sit on the cart with Alex and Kalia,

And Socrates (and sometimes Ron) pulls us!

"One does not simply walk into Mordor"

Ron and I have this joke about his dog Socrates. Every time we leave even more at night when we come back Socrates will sit in the middle of the driveway with this why did you leave me look!?! The first time he did it I thought of Lord of the Rings................

You know the part where Gandalf the Gray is fighting this fire, dragon, creature thing and he says in his booming voice "You Shall Not Pass!!" Well since Socrates is grey like in color this is what he reminded me of and so I had to quote the movie and Ron and I got a good laugh about it. And we joke about it almost every time he does this.

So Ron made this!

Hahahaha! I got this one crazy morning at work and it completely made my day! I love how good my love is with Photo shop!!

And here for your enjoyment is some more funny Lord of the Ring images!

We have the Lord of the Rings Monopoly and I'm pretty sure this is what the card actually looks like!

And of course I would love this one!

Say what?!?

I'm hoping this post made you all laugh!

Kalia's 2nd Birthday!

On December 31st Ms. Kalia turned 2 and we went to her house to celebrate!

Sorry my camera was almost dead so most of the pictures I have are of her opening gifts and some cake time!

Kalia was super cute!

With almost every gift she opened she wrapped her arms around it and said "I love it! I love it!"

First off sorry this was a cell phone picture so it's not the greatest but I completely love this picture! I know Ron tries not to show it but Kalia has him wrapped around her finger and I love it! He is so good with his niece and nephew and I love it! I know that in two or three years when we have kids that he will be amazing with them and I can't wait!

This is the cake that I made for her. I thought I had a better picture but all well. It's a Tinkerbell cake with Tinkerbell and all of her friends on it!

Singing happy birthday!

Blow out the candles!

Happy Birthday Ms. Kalia!

Is it done yet?!?

With the gift cards that Ron got for Christmas he went and got the dehydrator that he has wanted since we did our registry and was more than excited to go and try it!

Socrates was just as excited and sat on the kitchen floor while the meat was in the dehydrator waiting for his bite!

Sleeping!

Because today is Ron and mine 9 month anniversary I thought this would be the best post for today!

One overcast Sunday afternoon Ron feel asleep on a bean bag in the living room and I took this picture! He is so cute! Oh how I can't even begin to tell you all how much I love him!

I just love this!

This is the sign that I got for Christmas that I totally love and will display at the wedding!

Isn't this beautiful! I can't even tell you how much I love it!

Christmas 2011!

A little under a month late but here is Christmas 2011!!

Since this was three days after my accident and I spent the whole night before in the ER coughing up blood from swollen intestines Ron was my driver for the day!

First off we got up at 9 and went to have Christmas breakfast and watch Alex and Kalia open gifts at their house!

Be aware that I have a ton of pictures!!

First thing they were both super excited to show off the slippers that Santa gave them! Alex got Cars slippers!

Kalia got Disney Princess slippers!
Opening gifts with Princess Grandma Echo!


Shelia opening her gift from Ron!


Ron got Shelia this white cat that purs, moves, and meows. It's motion censored so it's a little creepy!

Kalia opening her Barbie bike from Uncle Ron!

Alex opening his drum set from Uncle Ron!

Ron putting together Kalia's bike with Alex's help.

Kalia got from her parents the Princess and the Frog music maker set!

I'm sure their parents are beyond happy to have so many music making toys!

They have their own two man band!

As soon as Shelia opened up the cat that Ron gave her the kids couldn't stop playing with it!

But in the end....

Shelia got to play with the car!

Later on Shelia and the kids came out to the house to open more gifts

Opening Aunt Kassi's gifts! (They would have had them earlier but I had to get them from my house since they were still in my car when I had my accident!)

Yeah Aunt Kassi got me ribbon! Hahahaha!

I got both of them this cute little pop up tents! Lion King for Alex and Barbie for Kalia!

They loved them and even found out that they don't have floors so they liked to put them on their heads and walked around with them on their heads!

Sorry I just realized that these pictures are not in order of how they happened but oh well! After breakfast and gifts with Shelia and the kids we came back to Echo's house and opened our gifts. Here is Ron and I!

And here are our gifts!

Echo opening gifts!

Ron opening gifts!

Me opening the gift that Echo gave me, it's pictures of Ron and I at the St. George and Manti Temples and then the cool ring picture he did of us!>

Opening my Aunt Barb's gift. She had my name in the exchange and she got us/me two cool things from our registry and a cupcake apron that's super cute!

Ron opening up the movie Dumbo!

Apparently Ron said something in this photo that I didn't agree with or something but I don't remember it!

And because I can another picture of Ron and I!

To end the day we went to my parent's house and they got the blankets that I made them!
Ron opening up his gift from my parents and my Aunt Marsha who had his name for Christmas!
When he saw that they were both gift cards to Bed, Bath, and Beyond he knew just want he was doing the next day and what he was getting!<br>
Me opening my gifts! I promise I was happy and thrilled to be there and to open all my gifts. But I was so swollen I looked at least six months pregnant and I was hurting so my face may not relect the happiness going on!
Stocking time!


I love this sign! It says If this isn't your castle then your not my Prince and it has a picture of the Mesa Temple on it!

Yay pink slippers!
Yay again for socks!

And lastly my squeal moment! Bones season 3!!

It was a fabulous Christmas filled with great gifts, good food, and all of the people I love!
