Whistler

To celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary, Matt surprised me with a weekend get-a-way to Whistler! It was so much fun. We slept in, ate too much good food, and saw some incredible views of the mountains. We rode up to the very top peak and hiked around for a while. 1 year down, 74 to go!

Us at the Lodge almost near the top!

Our hotel.

View from our hotel room. They had the bunny hill set up for mountain bikes...so fun to watch!

On the way to the top!

At the very, very, very top!

The view...amazing!

Another amazing view.

The view of the village from the top. It looks so small!

Nap anyone?

So...it has now been exactly 4 weeks since we got little yosh-man. We can't believe how much our lives have changed. In those 4 weeks we've found our favorite activity to be nap time. And, I think Yoshi would agree. He's found a few favorite sleeping positions. See for yourself:

i'm really not a lazy blogger...

So I know what everyone is thinking...there she goes again, teasing us with 2 blogs, then nothing for weeks.  Well..I've been a little busy with this puppy.  But..good news is that he is eating less and less of his poop now and hasn't thrown up since the puke-fest a few weeks ago!  We are starting obedience school next week...we'll see how he does.

In other news we had a super fun 4th of July.  Of course we were so busy having fun I never took any pictures.  Oops.

Matt and I have our 1 year anniversary on Monday!!  To celebrate we are going to Whistler this weekend! It's hard to believe it's already been one year. I love him more and more every day and although living with a boy can be gross at times...it's amazing to get to live with your best friend.

poop and vomit...not a pretty sight.

So the past 3 days our puppy has found a new craving for none other than his poop.  It's rather disgusting.  He literally will poo then turn right around to start eatin' it up!  We talked to the vet yesterday and she assured us that it can be quite common for puppies and not to worry, but just clean it up before he has a chance to nibble on it.  It's been working...until today.  Matt came home from work this afternoon to find not one, but two piles of poo on the kitchen floor that had not only been slightly eaten, but also smeared across the floor.  While attempting to clean it up, the dog decided he had to vomit all over the one carpet in our house.  After all, no one likes to digest their poo.  With puppy in left hand and paper towels in right, Matt successfully cleaned up the mess without throwing up.  It was a big day in the Vance household.  Welcome to puppy life.

Our newest family member...Yoshi

Alright, so although it's incredibly embarrassing to finally post a blog 4 months later, I just had to show off our new little puppy.  Matt surprised me with an early birthday present and 3 days ago we brought our 6 week old, Yoshi, home!  He is now the love of our lives.  We love watching him explore, eat, sleep and run and feel like proud parents when he peeps and poos in the grass!  We are busy with 3 middle of the night potty breaks, puppy-proofing the home and finding any new toy he can chew on besides the furniture.  Meet Yoshi.

I gave in...

Alright, so for the last few months I've been reading so many blogs.  I finally decided to give in and just make one for us too! So...not really sure what I'll be posting, but I'm sure some of it will include pics of our new house, our somewhat interesting lives, and if Matt has anything to say, the latest sports scores and Seahawks updates.  Welcome to the Vance family.  Enjoy.
