worth a thousand words...

Let's Play Catch Up!

Hello everyone! thanks for being so patient with me!! i've been terrible at updating my blog lately!! sorry! i'm just going to post a bunch of pics to let you all know what the warren fam has been up to!


The 2009 Race for the Cure, this was the first time my mom and i have ever done this and i can definately say it will become a tradition! we had so much fun! such a wonderful experience!!!






Gracy graduated from her Pre-School. This was so fun, and they had their own little cap and gowns! We are so proud of gracy, she is so smart!




Thomas and I had a yard sale last month and tried to sell my mom's old ski outfits. thomas decided to try one on and it was sooooo hilarious! the pictures say it all....





For the 4th of July this year, we went to a neighborhood bike parade in the morning... this was gracy's first time decorating her bike, she had so much fun! later on we had a bbq at my parent's house and stuck around the neighborhood for some fireworks. gracy had a lot of fun and the sparklers were her favorite! even marley got in on the festivities!













We also went on a fishing trip with the newsome fam the weekend before the 24th. this is our new tradition... we had so much fun! lisa has some more pictures of this trip that i'll have to put on later, but here are some... ps: i was the ONLY one that didn't catch a fish!!!! grrrrr!!!!!!












so that's what we warren's have been up to this summer!!! hope you enjoyed!

long time, no post!

hi lovely readers of my blog!!! i promise i'll update next week! just wanted you to know we're still alive!

marley and me.

yesterday was our dog, marley's 1st birthday!! i can't believe it! kids grow up so fast don't they? :) we found marley on a site called nextdaypet.com, and KNEW we had to have him! he is a west highland terrier/shitzu mix and has just about the cutest face ever! the thing i love about dogs is that they are always your constant companion, no matter what. they are loving and nonjudgemental. they are fun and energetic but also just like to cuddle. marley is probably the most disobedient dog ever, but we love him soooo much! i can't imagine not having him in my life, he's brought so much happiness to our lives. happy birthday marley bear! we love you!

sorry the pics are out of order!! :)

surgerys and all that fun stuff

i just wanted to post a quick note telling my dad that i appreciate him. my dad is an extremely hard worker, always has been. he is a heating and air conditioning contractor and is extremely good at what he does. he often goes unthanked for the things that he does and i just wanted to let him know that i appreciate everything he's done. he has helped us immensely on our duplex with different things that needed to be done. dad had to have surgery today to fix his shoulder. he's been having major problems with it... torn ligaments and bone spurs. my mom just called to tell me that he's out of surgery and that it was a success. PHEW! i always get so worried about that kind of stuff. so anyway, just felt like letting you all know how much i love and appreciate my good ole' dad.
