Weddings Bring Us Together

Basically I have another sibling that I haven't mentioned. Her name is Anna and my family decided we would claim her as our own about six-ish years ago. Another fact you may not know is that she is getting married in September. We are all pretty excited about this because we all actually like Parker (fiancé). With help from our friend Whitney we had a small, fun shower for Anna and Parker.

Before getting cleaned up. They're cute.

As always with anything the Calhouns' are involved in, we needed some entertainment. I'll let you guess who sent dad's truck into the woods 20 minutes before the shower started...

When these guys are involved, usually so is shooting.

Skeet shooting to wish the happy couple the best? It was fun either way.

And that concludes the pictures. I can't wait to stand by this girl in a few more months while she marries the man she's always waited for. Parker is a lucky guy.

Thanks for reading, friends.

Let The Summer Begin (almost)

We decided we needed to get out of the valley for a few days {with summer quickly approaching and tempts reaching the 90's}, so we packed up and went to Payson for the weekend. I highly recommend going to see the Natural Bridge, pictures do not do it justice. And I'm pretty dang impressed with Andy for hiking all day with this baby pack. It is seriously not as easy as it looks. I've got to start training... Raja clearly had the time of her life. {per usual} We are so excited that little man is big enough to ride in the baby pack! And I'm excited Andy is able to haul the baby pack. Raja is just excited about dirt and water {mud}. Happy Monday, everyone. Thanks for reading :)

Arizona Lessons in 3 Years

As of August, we have been official Arizonians for 3 years! Seems kind of crazy that it's been that long. We have all learned a lot about the west. So, in celebration of our 3 year Arizonniversary here are a few things Arizona has taught us... about survival. 1. Get up early. From about May-September if we want to run, hike, ride the horses, swim at the pool, really anything outdoors we are up the the flipping crack of dawn because any other time of the day is miserable. When it isn't the heat of the summer, the evenings are pretty decent. And when people say, "oh it's a dry heat out there though, so that's probably not so bad", I literally laugh out loud. Before we moved here people had told us the dry heat isn't so bad {you know who you are}. So we stupidly went out to the barn to clean stalls in 120 degrees. I thought the hot breeze was going to melt my eye balls. And then we were both sick with chills the rest of the day. Now, under 105 degrees,...

A desert summer.

We moved into a new house this week!!! My family came out to help us move and of course we had to make some time for play. We made the tough treck to Fossil Creek! It was worth it. I jumped off the little one. It was scary. I don't think I'll do it again. On the last day we went to Apache Lake. I forgot my camera so we don't have many documents of this trip, but it was very relaxing. We are so thankful for their help. And for play time. And for our new house!!
