Ready, Set, Climb!

Erik & I are always trying to do something "different" for date ideas and memories. We like to keep it spicy and alive for us. Marriage can sometimes get into a rut, but we try to keep it alive and kicking!

We both have Life List we would like to accomplish someday! Of course, I love to be adventurous and feel a little close to the edge of life. What a better way to do that is to practice rock climbing on "wall rocks." So, we could be prepared for "real rocks" later in life. Something about the adrenaline rush you get when you get to the top of the rock walls!

We both started our love affair for rock climbing! I have been rock climbing most of my life, but Erik was thrown into this last year. We decided to go back to Stonemoves, but this time we would throw in a little twist!

Meet Brad & Stefanie!

They are such an awesome couple to hang out with! We do almost everything with  them. We are truly blessed to have each of them in our lives! We love you guys!

Here we are  getting set up! Look's like Mr. Erik is ready to rock climb!

I must say rock climbing is all about how you need to "trust" your partner! Stefanie and I did a  great job at being their  for each other! Erik & Brad challenged each other with the advanced walls.
Now, you are probably thinking why didn't the couples get paired off as partners. Well, last year I "dropped" Erik twice from 15-20 feet. So, we are still working on our trust with rock climbing. Rock climbing is a lot like marriage. If you don't have trust in your partner then your relationship won't succeed.

To gain each others trust we started with the easier rock wall then   we conquered the advanced walls. Of course, I took pictures of all the action!

Yes! We all did extremely well rock climbing those walls! Perhaps, later down the road we will conquer the "real thing."

Words could not express how much fun we really had with Brad & Stefanie! Our stomach muscles were so sore because of all the laughing & memories we made that day!

What's next on our agenda? Who knows! Maybe Scuba diving with sharks, traveling to Bora Bora, or it may be a surprise! Tune in ...for the details

Yep, It's official...He's staying!

Hi Everyone!
It's Cooper again! I am still trying to wrap my paws around this whole "new dog" in the house. I still don't understand why we have to keep him! Anyways, I was going back and forth if I could be okay with Bentley being apart of our little family, and I hear noises coming from the kitchen. Mom is screaming with joy and dad is smiling proudly. I think to myself: Are we giving Bentley a bon voyage party or something? No, it was worse than I thought.




Our names (Cooper & Bentley)were on the wall hanging above our food place mats. Now, he is staying for good. Oh, what will I do? I guess I will have to find a way to get along with him.

He is kind of growing on me. We have our "play time" and then he plays in his playpen.

Do you see this? It's his playpen! Goo ma had the idea to put him in there to have his alone time.
THANK YOU GOO MA for the genius idea!



I like him a lot when he sleeps


If anyone is curious how the parents did the letters for us, check it out here...

1)Buy supplies
2)Convince Daddy to put it on wall
3)Measure to see if BOTH of our names can fit
4)Spray Paint wood letters(Hobby Lobby)
5)Let Dry
6)Glue with Adhesive
7)Press hard on each letter
8)Grab Paw foam stamp and place in paint
9)Place on wall
10) Viola! You are done!

Did anyone ask me....

Hi everyone!
It has been 4 weeks since the four legged fluff ball has been in our house. I am beginning to think he isn't leaving anytime soon. I thought he was suppose to be a fun new toy, but the little fur ball moves and follows me everywhere I go. If I am doing my business (he is there) if I am eating(he is there) and if I am having alone time with mom and dad(he is there)! Yep, I am starting to think that he is somehow apart of our little family.

I've been thinking lately since I have nothing else to do during the day. What will this blog be called since he is now apart of our lives? Will it still be you, me, and Cooper makes 3? Well, I will have to have a "come to Jesus" meeting with mom and dad. I need to explain to them how I feel if he is supposedly staying he can't be on the blog. I have fans on this thing! Thank you everyone who still loves and appreciates only me. It's only fair,right?

Another thing...What is a brother? Mom and dad has been calling me BIG brother lately. What is up with that? If I had thumbs I would "google" what is a brother? Bentley is what they call the fluff monster. Bentley! Ha! What kind of name is that? He is so small and tiny I step on him all the time. He is small enough to be my new toy. He needs to wear a bell around his neck, so we won't hurt him.

Of course, I am getting use to him. He is cute, but not cuter than me! He has some what of a personality, but I have a lot to teach him if he is going to be with us for awhile.

Of course, mom took 99 million pictures of us "bonding",but I will only show you one.


Now, let's do a comparison! Who is cuter?
Me...


Him...


Ok,I am just checking to know my #1 fans still think I am adorable!
