Ketchum...

Darek, Caylee, Doris(Darek's Grandma), Joyce(Darek's Mom) and I all went up to the Ketchum/Bellevue/Hailey(where Darek has been working for the last 7 months) area for a week to Doris's condo. We had a great time. Darek got up and went to work each day, and us girls went site seeing in Sun Valley, junkin, and shopping. I love the area. Most of the nights were cold and we were consumed by the heat of the hot tub and I'm sure we are all fried inside due to the hours we spent soaking the chlorine up!!! It was great, and I highly recommend spending a week up there if you can! Below are some pictures of our visit: Enjoy:


This is KK riding the wild hog statue at the farmer's market/art market they had going on!!!

We met up with Joyce's couson Delmer, that resides in right outside Hailey, with his wife Charlene, and their 13 year old daughter Lisa. We had a wonderful time visiting and Caylee had an even better time with Lisa in the hot tub! Two peas in a pod, they were unseperable.

We met up with Darek on day during his lunch break and Caylee automatically was attracted to this dinosaur right outside Subway, she actually wanted her picture taken!

Just a little update, blah blah blah, ramblings of Tiff....

Darek, Caylee and I have been super busy this summer just having a blast!!! Its official, we are both unemployed(laid off :)) and loving it. We spend our days together, waking up around ten, remodeling, boating, going out and so one.... Caylee even told one of our friends that "he should get fired, cause its so much fun!!!" Speaking of Caylee, shes so cute, and getting so big, she starts school on the 31, but long story short(read on for the long version), we are moving again, so which school is now undecided!!! She hates having someone other then herself take her picture so getting her to pose was hard, that stinker....


So here's one of her self portraits, I found it on my camera one day while I was going through deleting pics... I couldn't help but post it!!!



And another....

That's our little KK....

Explanation: She loves the kiss pose and peace, but to explain why she is cross eyed... she has Dwayne Syndrome (AKA no muscle on the left part of her left eye causing her right eye to over compensate for the lack of movement from her left). She now thinks its funny, and crosses her eyes all the time to show off, but the doc says let her do it, its only making any muscles she does have strong!

Like every summer, we've been out on the boat often, we love the summer heat. This year our outing mostly consist of lucky peak, with awesome friends and family.

One weekend we took out Flo and her kids Casey and Van, and Ashley, Casey's friend, they loved the tubes!!! Good times, good friends what else could you ask for!!!! Here's them in action!!!

Here's one of Florie and I, we had a blast!!!

Some other exciting news.... Caylee lost her first tooth, boy was she excited. Here's a pic of her showing in loose, 2 days later it was gone!!!

We have also had the privileged to visit Darek's Half brothers family. Jackson and Caylee are the same age, and Oakley is 2.5. This was the first time I met the little guy, and boy is he a cutie, they both are!

Recently due to the wonderful weather, Darek has convinced me to take up fishing, although my lack of catching anything is causing some frustration, but hey, it is relaxin. Here's a picture of Caylee and a fish she reeled in, she was so excited!!!

Now on to a frustrating part of my life, moving.... we've moved more then 5 times in the last 5 years, and we have found a place we love and live in, a landlord we love, but neighbors we can't stand!!! We have two small dog, and yes, one is a barker (cut us some slack she is a min pin and min pins are yappy). So our neighbors all have 3+ dogs and yes all of them bark. But for some reason, when we go out of town and someone dog watches for us, our neighbors, or one in particular feels the need to call animal control and this time she wrote us an actual misdemeanor citation for my dog being a bother barking at her. Never once has she called when we are home! These old women come over and leave cheap ass dog food in my yard because they think my dogs are too skinny (hello look up a picture of a health dog, and you wont find one as fat as hers), this pisses me off cause the crap gives my dogs the Hershey squirts that i have to clean up after. So after investigating some what, I've come to find out that my dogs aren't outrageous barks, and they only bark when the neighbors hold convenient meeting in front of my house!!! HELLO does anyone see something wrong with this picture? So now we have to go to court and fight this so its not on our record, and guess what, the neighbor has to go to court also, ha ha ha she never saw that coming! She thought we would get a fine, come to find out the judge decides that, and she's (the neighbor) mad!!!! All i have to say is "you get what you give"!!!!

Another aspect of my life that's causing some stress is my former employer!!!! I got a call on Thursday, stating that they want me back temporarily. IF i say no... i could lose my unemployment, if i say yes... more money then before!!! but less time for my family and myself!!! And this job totally stresses me out!!! We'll see how it all pans out... everything happens for a reason, right?

For the most part to sum my life up... "God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy"...
