Ruby can Jump

The other night Hubby and I were getting into the car to go to the gym and we heard a lot noise coming from the side yard. Ruby evidently thought we were going somewhere special without her because she decided to jump the fence. It is a pretty tall fence, probably 7 foot. 

I don't think she will be jumping the fence again anytime soon. 

Poor Ruby got all scratched up. It looks a lot worse in person. Her little tummy was all swollen and scraped up. She was pretty sore for a couple days but now she is running around like nothing ever happened. 

Random Tidbits.

1. From work to home, I have to go through 15 stoplights and 3 stop signs. I wish I lived closer.
   
2. We have discovered that our dog Ruby is a professional soccer player. Maybe I'll post a video soon.
   
3. I have big plans to redecorate and paint our guest bathroom. I wonder how long it will actually take me to follow through.
   
4. I'm starting an online photo editing class on Monday and I'm super excited! From this super cool lady http://nancyvnjourney.blogspot.com/
   
5. I do not like boiled eggs.
   
6. I have a slight obsession with painting my nails/buying nail polish. At least the little five year old  neighboor girl appreciates it..."You alway's have the most beautiful nails!"
   
7. I secretly want to paint my car camo. Okay maybe that isn't a secret and maybe I've already asked hubby's friends to help. 
   
8. When my socks have holes I just switch feet so my big toe doesn't go through the hole. The hole is then by my pinky toe.
   
9. My house is decorated in antlers and Asian things. Who needs a theme....
   
10. I got my first laptop for Christmas in 2006. I used it all through college. Everyday. Then passed it on to a close family friend after I graduated. It is still going strong. 7 years now! I'm proud of that laptop. 

And I can't leave you without a picture! 

Wordless "Pony" Wednesday

Happy Birthday Trevor!

Hubby turned a quarter century old! 

I think that means our insurance is suppose to go down now right? 

My family flew down the help us celebrate and we had an awesome busy weekend! 

First we did a family dinner at our favorite little Mexican restaurant. 

We also tried out a new laser tag place. It was a blast and I can't wait to go back! 

We played for about two hours and it was intense! It was in a warehouse and there were two teams. We would play different games like capture the box and elimination games.  

Yes I felt like an alien with those flashing sensors on my head 

Preparing for battle. 

Family Shot!

Getting Serious....

Then we also had people over to our house for a bbq.

 We went all out on celebrating my amazing husband birthday and he deserved it. 

He works so hard all the time and I am so proud of him. 

I love you Trevor! 

Horseback Riding

Trevor took me horseback riding last weekend. 

I've been asking him for a long time and he finally took me! 

We just rode around in a field but it was my first on a horse when it was running and it was exciting and scary! Hoping to get some more practice in soon! 

Riding into the sunset with my hubby :)

Baked Southwest Egg Roll Recipe

For Superbowl Sunday I tried out a new recipe I found on pinterest here.

I was a little nervous because I'm not the greatest at cooking, but they were actually super easy to make and very yummy!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups frozen corn, thawed
• 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 
• 1 (10 oz.) package frozen chopped spinach
• I used Cilantro instead of spinach 
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
• 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles, drained
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 24 total)

DIRECTIONS

• In a large bowl, combine everything but the egg roll wrappers. Mix well to blend. Lay an egg roll wrapper out on a work surface so that one of the corners is pointing toward you and place ¼ cup of the filling in the center. Fold the tip closest to you up over the filling, roll a bit, then take the points pointing outward and fold them in toward the center. Continue rolling into an egg roll shape until a small part of the remaining point is still free. Dip a finger in water or beaten egg and lightly brush on the edges of the free corner. Finish rolling and press to seal closed. Repeat with the remaining 
  wrappers and filling.
  
  
  Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the sealed egg rolls on the baking sheet seam side down and spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly brown, turning halfway through baking. Serve warm with salsa.

Friday

This is how I feel pretty much every day. Not that I'm stressed out every day, I just love being comfy and skinny jeans are never comfy.  

TGIF!

10 Random Things to share with you today.... 

1. I miss the rain. A lot. I guess that means once an Oregonian always an Oregonian. Or something along those lines.
   
2. I have never changed a diaper. True story.
   
3. I could eat beans and potatoes for every meal. Mashed Potatoes are my favorite.
   
4. I dislike Valentines day. Lucky Trevor.
   
5. I sometimes wish I was born in the 1800's so I could be a pioneer.
   
6. My dream job is to be a stay at home mom.
   
7. My dog often runs into things such as couches, walls, and people because she is always looking behind.
   
8. Last weekend I had a 4 year old tell me my toilet paper was backward. I was really confused at first, and then realized the roll wasn't rolling in the RIGHT direction for her preference hahaha!
