August

August has just FLOWN by! Such an eventful and fun month, soo much to catch up on.
Starting with Eric and I going to the 311 & Sublime Concert!

We decided at that concert that we are getting old...haha. Although there was a mix of young and old at the concert it was completely packed and crazy. So we were relieved when we were able to kick back in our seats away from the open lawn area and far from the mosh pit. We cant stand being soo crowded haha So we relaxed and kicked back and enjoyed the view from a far.
August was full of small home improvements and projects. One of my favorite thus far was cleaning the carpets! The carpet needed a good thorough cleaning..
As you can see Eric is much enjoying it! Love him
It may have been last month, I cant remember..But a very exciting moment for us recently was when we we were at Home Depot one of the workers educated us on how we could remove hard water stains from our glasses. Some of you have seen the horrible, corroded stains we get on our dishes but for those who havent prepared to be shocked by the picture below...

As you can see there are 3 glasses. The two on the left appear to be frosted glasses...no,no...haha that is hard water! The Home Depot worker referred us to this product called Lemishine. You first pour it into your dishwasher and run it empty then the next add Lemishine and regular detergent and your left with...the amazing difference on the right! We were soo shocked! So needless to say washing dishes has been a treat for the time being :)

Other things that happened over the month of August...
A trip to the lake up American Fork Canyon with my parents, Kate, Joe, Brett, Duke, Belle and Mylo.









Doesn't Eric look happy in that last one?! haha

~The Weekend~

Well Eric and I were excited to share our first weekend at home as a married couple! haha I know what your thinking..but I am not counting last weekend because I was soo sick and could hardly move! So it doesnt count haha
No I am so grateful for Eric for taking care of me. Getting sick is just part of the up's and down's :)
So back to the weekend, we had a ton of fun! Saturday we did a lot of cleaning and shopping. With the gift cards we got from family and friends we were able to buy our first toaster, yey! Among other items. I reallllly enjoyed the shopping part haha.... Eric is soo patient :)
Saturday night we had a little get together and watched UFC 133! Evans vs Ortiz

Unfortunately the guy we were rooting for lost :( But we ate lots of pizza and good food!
I made this dessert...

Sopapilla Cheesecake..Sooo yummmy! And easy to make! I got the recipe from myyellowumbrella.blogspot.com. It was a hit!

I am excited to announce that we finished our first home project! Well I shouldnt say we...LOL Eric and my Dad installed a doggy door! I just sat there and took pictures and watched shark week re-runs haha But I gave them much positive encouragement! Here is a picture of Eric hard at work

Hes such a cutie!
This will be one step closer to having Duke stay with us permanentely. Our next goal is to clean the carpets this weekend. I know your asking..why would you clean the carpets before? Lets just say Duke feels the need to mark his territory after smelling the other male dogs scents around the house :( We miss you squint and Buster!
So hopefully we can get the carpet detail done and Duke can move in!
Also...I am hoping this next weekend to bake this..!
mmmmmmmmmmm...cant wait!
