If You LIke Pina Coladas

OH MY HECK! I cannot get this song out of my head. I literally have been singing it for over a month. I only knew two lines "If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain," Da Da Da Da. Thats it. Thats all know. So I took it upon myself to learn these lyrics so now when I sing it, I will know more of the words. I know after you read this post you will start singing this song, and it will be stuck in your head for ever! GOOD LUCK GETTING IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD!

Heres the Lyrics for those who just can't get it out of their head.

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long

Like a worn-out recording of a favorite song

So while she lay there sleepin', I read the paper in Bed

And in the personal columns there was this letter read

If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain

If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain

If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape -Remember this part speeds up

Then i'm the love that you've looked for write to me and escape'

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kinda mean

But me and my old lady had fallen into the same old dull routine

So I wrote to the paper took out a personal ad

And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half bad

"Yes I like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain

I'm not much into health food, I am into Champagne

I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red

Tape

At a bar called O'Malleys where we'll plan our escape"

So I waited with high hopes and she walked in the place

I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face

It was my own lovely lady and she said "Oh its you?"

Then we laughed for a moment and I said "I never knew"

"That you liked Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain

And the feel of the ocean and the taste of the champagne

If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape

You're the lady I've looked for, come with me and escape

If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain

If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain

If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape

then i'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape

Yes, I like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain

I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne

I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon and cut through all this red

Tape

At a bar called o'malleys where we'll plan our escape

HA HA HA ITS TOTALLY STUCK IN YOUR HEAD

Dan Bakes

I promised Dan that I would blog about his apple pie, and let me just say it was actually pretty darn good. Dan did everything. I didn't help at all and he was so proud. I mean he did the dough the filling, and even did a pattern on top of the pie crust. He watched that pie bake like a hawk making sure it baked perfectly. It was pretty cute how excited he was about his apple pie. It made me love him all that much more to see how happy he was about it.

The final Product.

Ranger No, Ranger Go potty, Ranger not on the bed,

Ranger Ranger Ranger. What are we going to do with you.....

I swear he is a child!

Here is what Ranger has done to our lives since we have gotten him. First I must say I absolutely love him, and he is the most precious thing in the world, but man oh man I was not expecting it to be this much work! So many people warned us over and over again, but we had to get him.

The first few days we had him, he got sick and was throwing up everywhere. So I took him to our Vet and the Doctor looked him over, did some tests and came back in to talk to me. Here is what he says.....

"Lesli, I have a big concern about Ranger, His symptoms, and how quickly they came about is a major sign of Parvo. In other words a puppy killing disease. There is nothing you can do to help it, if your puppy has this he will DIE!"

Literally people this is what the Doctor told me. So I of course tell him to run the test. The nurse grabs Ranger and leaves the room.

I just break down and start crying. I am in the crammed little room not allowed to turn my cellphone on. It was very scary.

The Test results......NEGATIVE! holy crap I was so happy. The Doctor was so nice and comforted me, and told me it was ok to cry. It was a very touching moment. I now love my vet even more. so he gave us some medicine and Ranger hates it. ha ha its a joy giving it to him but

now Ranger is doing great and spoiled.

He poops and pees everywhere. Thank goodness for Resolve!

He wakes up every 2 hours in the night to go potty.

He whines when we put him in his kennel at night, whines for ever!

He is so adorable that I don't even care that I am falling asleep at my desk at work

He makes me laugh all the time.

He's definitely preparing us for kids

&

He's already a part of the family

Meet Texas Ranger

We did it! we bought our very first puppy! This has been an ongoing decision for quite some time now, and I never thought we would actually get one, but now we do. His name is Texas Ranger, but we just call him ranger. Ranger is a Yorkie/Maltese mix. See it worked out perfectly for us because I wanted a Yorkie, obviously to follow in my mom and sisters footsteps, and Dan wanted a Maltese. We ended up finding a breeder who had mixed dogs that were breaded from pure Yorke's, and pure Maltese making a MORKIE! He simply is the cutest thing in the world, and follows Dan and I around where ever we go. We really have no idea what we are doing but so far he seems to be doing really well.

He is so much fun!

He absolutely loves Dans shoulder. He slept there for like 4 hours. It was so cute

Cougars Vs. Bears

Tuesday night was a beautiful night for a baseball game. BYU vs. BAYLOR. Now to Baylor students it wasn't really a big thing, to them BYU is just another team, but for us who grew up proud to wear the blue, well it was a different story. We headed to the game to meet up with some of Dan's geology buddy's and their wives. It was great fun because some of us cheered for BYU and others cheered for Baylor. The stands were pretty empty, but I think everyone was pretty wrapped up in Baylor playing Texas Tec. in basketball! GO BAYLOR. I am excited for March Madness, I just hope Baylor can hold on to their spot.

anyways it was still fun to hear others in the stand cheer for BYU. It made me feel a little closer to Utah/Idaho. ha ha basically the same place right?

Our Teams, I wear the blue with Pride!

We had really good seats since not a lot of people were there.

The Boys before the game started. It was so fun to see BYU play! but I do still love Baylor

What the? Snow? in Texas?

I know I am new to Texas and everything, I mean we have only lived her for the past 7 months, but all my life I was taught that Texas was very warm, even in the winter! Well I was taught wrong. The weather here in Waco is just as crazy as in Rexburg. Sunday was absolutely beautiful. It was warm the sun was shining. It is now Tuesday and this is what we woke up to this morning......

Yep full on snow storm! It has snowed here before but just flurry's every once in while, nothing like this. I literally could have taken this picture in Idaho and no one would have noticed the difference. I was excited! I love the snow. What I think is funny, is that its this white fluffy beautiful snow, and Texans are freaking out. Schools are closed. Work was cancelled and they are driving super slow. THE ROADS ARE JUST WET. and there is hardly any snow on the ground. Its not even windy! Its great it makes me laugh. From what we have been told this is totally abnormal, it hasn't been like this for almost 20 years! I am glad we moved here when we did ha ha. Texas must have known that I was missing snow, and gave me my wish, But I am definitely ready for it to warm up, which I am sure it will tomorrow.

Anyways I just wanted to share a little of Texas life.

V-V-V-Valentines Day!

Valentines day, like all Valentines day was great! Dan and I especially love Valentines day because 3 years ago on Valentines day was our first date, first hand hold, and first kiss. Ya we didn't waste much time. 2010 was simple and fun. We had dinner Saturday night, nothing really fancy, well really not fancy at all we went to a pizza parlor, but its one of our favorite places here so it was really fun!

Then Sunday, we went to church, came home, and had a little romantic dinner at our own home. I decorated the table and made Dan a roast w/mashed potatoes dinner. Its One of Dans ultimate favorite meals. We had an enjoyable day.

Dan seriously is the best. Here is why.. He hands me my valentines gift. I unwrap it and.... let me tell you first that I have been wanting to go get some crayons and a coloring book for a while but just never did. so my Valentines gift was crayons and not just a regular coloring book, heavens no, thats to boring for Dan. He goes and MAKES ME A COLORING BOOK! He inverted some of our pictures together and made me my very own "LANCASTER" Coloring book! It seriously was one of the best gifts I have ever gotten.

My Ultimate sweet, Wicked Awesome, Coloring book and Crayons

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
