New Happenings

Sorry I've been MIA for quite some time. . . . a lot has been going on these past couple months!  Just since March we have:
  • become an Aunt and Uncle to a beautiful baby girl, Kenzlee. SO fun!
  • said goodbye to my childhood doggy Tansy who I miss so so much :(
  • said hello to an adorable new puppy that my parents bought named Libby.  Love her so much!
  • started my final stretch of schooling....YES!
  • been to many competitions for my Jazz Club girls...who rocked their dances this year! SO proud of them. I love my job.
  • said goodbye to my sisters boyfriend who will be serving in Africa for 2 years...we'll miss him!
  • starting a new job (not me, matt) and being excited about not answering hundreds of phone calls a day.
  • hikes, drives in the mountains, air shows--waiting on rodeo, camping, and boating season to begin! I love summer time! 
Obviously, I've been to occupied with life to blog. ;) But I'm back and have a few updates. 

(And sorry for random mix of phone pics and instagram pics.  Not the best quality!) 


This sad little face was Tansy just right before we put her down.  She was fighting cancer and was so so sick. It was so hard to watch her suffer in pain so we knew that this was the right thing to do.  I always new this day would be hard but I didn't expect it to be this hard.  Dogs really do become members of the family and we all had such a special place for her in our heart.  I believe that there is a doggy heaven so I'm sure we'll get to see her again.  Until then, love and miss you pup! 

Everyone meet the newest member of the Folsom family.  Libby is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel...royalty for sure!  This is her when she is like 9 weeks old but now she is 3 months and has changed so much!  Grows like a baby and is spoiled by all of us that's for sure!  We use to talk about what would happen after Tansy was gone and if we were going to get another dog or not and my parents always said that we wouldn't.  Well, my dad saw her and couldn't resist!  Who could?! She is so stinking cute and the sweetest dog.  We also didn't think that after losing a dog we would get another one so quickly and actually it has really helped with the loss of Tansy.  Coming home to an empty house was so weird and we all missed having a dog to cuddle with and follow you around.  We're not comparing, but we love her so much!  Puppy stage is fun but a lot of work.  (I'm speaking for my parents.)  The whole potty training thing isn't easy... bless her heart.  She's learning. . . . . . kind of.  When she stops peeing in the house and biting with her razor sharp puppy teeth she'll be perfect. :) 
             
I love her face!


Josh (Matt's older brother) and Kelli had their cute baby girl Kenzlee on May 7th.  She is so spoiled being the first grandchild and we all love her so much!  This makes me so excited for motherhood.  I could hold her all day!  I love being an aunt!

  
Matt loves holding his niece! And yes it was Matt's idea to put his sunglasses on her.
             


Last weekend me and Matt hiked up to Elephant Rock in Mueller Park Canyon.  I hadn't hiked up there since I was like 8 so it was fun.  It was so nice to get out in the fresh air for a change of scenery.  I love spendin time with my man!

This weekend we also headed up to Hill Air Force Base to watch the air show.  It was a lot of fun!  We are defiantly going to go again next year.  It was so cool!  If you haven't ever watch an air show you're totally missin out.  CRAZY stunts... so cool! 

I don't know if I've ever mentioned how much I love my job. . . . but I love it, a lot.  I love little kids, I love dance, and I love teaching.  This competition season my teams did GREAT!  I'm so proud of them!  In a few weekends I'll be headed to St. George with my teams for a dance convention at the Tuacahn Theater.  I'm so excited! I'll be sure to make a post about it later.

Last night my cute sister said goodbye to her best friend for 2 years.  He'll be serving in Angola, Africa.  We love them together and wish him (and her) the best of luck!  Matt and Keaton get along so well so we'll miss our double dates we use to have but we'll see him in 2 years! 


Can't wait to see what the rest of summer has in store!
