Weekend Recap: Flowers, Protestors and Battle Wounds

A breathtaking view driving from Los Alamos to White Rock.

Flowers! I didn't even know I had pink ones until these buds began to open last week. (Anyone know what they are? Mom? Dad? I want to plant them again and these seeds were in a "wildflower" packet.)

Anti-nuke protesters.

Jackpot! Roxy with THREE tennis balls at her disposal.

Battle wound from a mountain bike ride.

My cuddling puppies. :)

Happy Friday!

I love Fridays. Especially when they're followed by lazy Saturdays... Mine isn't this week.

But that's OK. I'm helping with a community-wide event at work and I'll put a post up about it in a few days.

I am ready to sleep in someday soon (maybe next weekend). This has been a super long week.

Andrew and Melissa: Wedding Details

Here are pictures of the decorations from the wedding on Saturday. The florist that Melissa and her mom chose was amazing! Just beautiful arrangements with a garden party feel.

Sleepy ring bearer.

My dress has pockets!

Becca took all of these photos because she has a real skill for capturing the detail shots and making them look very artistic. (She also likes to take self-portraits that are kinda goofy.)

Weekend Recap: Bikes, Puppies and Flowers. Oh my!

Several random musings from the weekend :)

Sunday morning, Russ did his first bike race.  It was a 54 mile course with more than 4,000 feet of climbing at 7,500 feet.... I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

With all the triathlons Russ has done over the last five years, he has become a pretty proficient rider and it's exciting for me to watch him compete. :) 

Next up: a triathlon on our wedding anniversary (... I think I must love him), the Los Alamos Triathlon in August and the Oklahoma City Redman in September.

This is the rose bush that came with the house and in the last week it has exploded with blooms! I know at some point in time we'll need to trim it back, but right now I'm loving the riot of color.

Here's the other rose bush, it looks dead except for a handful of yellow roses and a bird's nest. Not sure what to do to help this one.

I grew this flower from a seed; it's the only one that's bloomed so far and I was so excited when I first saw it! Now if the rest of them would bloom, that'd be awesome!!!!

Isn't he cute cuddling with my sandals?
