Just Do it Thursday!

The days in the Life of Ashley and Ryan.

We are awesome people. We live by just doing, and that could be bad in some ways but so far it has brought us many blessings, for instance. This girl- The one in the middle with her tongue out...That's our baby girl Jessie. We got her in Logan. She is a full bread Boxer. Her color- Reverse brindle. That is right, reverse. If you ever see a Brindle boxer it is black with brown stripes, not very cute if you ask me but whatever floats your boat. We bought Jessie when she was one year old. We got her for free...yeah that's right for FREE! Best part? There is nothing wrong with her! She is perfect! She is the most fun breed of a dog you can get! I recommend if you have an active family or are a young outgoing couple to get a Boxer, they can be on the spendy side but sometimes cheaper than other dogs. They are the most active dogs I have ever owned and wont let you sit for a minute! My favorite thing about Jessie is she will run as fast as she can jump in the air and spin! Now if you don't understand what I mean when I say "active". Let me write you a picture. My husband stands just under 6 ft tall, she stands at about 2-3ft tall-on all fours- when she jumps she is above my husbands head! That's right! This dog has skill! She chases dragon flies and I've witnessed a few being caught in mid air. She rarely holds still and she love to play with her front paws...or flip around and hit you with her back ones. Guess that's why they call them BOXERS? Jessie is very calm around children though, she'll run with them but knows she is not allowed to Jump on them so she tries to jump over them...which never works because the kid is always too scared to hold still. I wouldn't trade my baby girl for anything!

Next "just do it" moment, Meet Nitro-
Nitro is named after Dodge Nitro. shocker right? Nitro is 7 weeks old TODAY! yep he is cute, right? He came into our lives just a few days ago when we saw and Add on ksl.com for him. He wasn't as cheap as Jessie was but he is also a pure bread boxer. He is also Reverse brindle color too! AND he has blue eyes! We fell in love with Nitro the second we saw him. He was shy when we got out to see the puppies, He hid behind a chair and after a few minutes of coaxing he came out and I got to hold him and pet him. After a few minutes of cuddling I had decided that I wanted him in our family. Ryan and I had to take off to buy him a small kennel really quick and so I set him on the ground. We talked to the lady for a few minutes and I noticed Nitro was sitting on my foot, as we walked away Nitro followed as if to say, "hey don't forget me!" Nitro came home with us that day and has never left my side since! Seriously, if you see me driving he is probably sitting on my lap! I take him everywhere. He is my baby. Jessie loves him...okay not so much as she would if he was older because she just walks right over him and he likes to bite...but she will learn to love him as he gets older. Best part is- Ryan is crazy for this dog, which isn't really a shocker, but it's so cute to see them play together. Ryan loves this dog because he has learned to fetch and brings the ball back, which Jessie refuses to do- she chases the ball jumps over it and runs back.

Now, Tomorrow our "Just do it" moment is Yellowstone. Now if you've been keeping up with us you know that Yellowstone is where we went on our honeymoon and stayed in this cabin --------->
and we've been back once since. This will be our second time going back since our honeymoon! All in just over a year! We will be staying in a cabin Just like this one and this time we are going with my family, Michael, Tyff, Mom, Dad, Nick, Bay, Grannyma-she's flying in from Texas just to come with! I have never been so excited for anything, except maybe being married to the man of my dreams! and Best part? We get to take Nitro! Jessie has to stay home because she's too big and doesn't fit in the car but as soon as we get a truck you bet she will be with us everywhere we go to!

I love our "Just do it" moments. It adds excitement to this boring life we live of work work work. Stay tuned and I'll post more "Just do it" moments as they come :D
