Another LV Trip!

We love to visit Las Vegas, even if it means traveling from one miserably hot city to another! Mom and Dad Tobler are always so hospitable and we love to enjoy good eats and treats when we're together! And nothing beats thrift store shopping and Mt. Charleston!


The free haircut was definitely a bonus



Mom Tobler did not want to leave the pool water. Nothing beats a pool on 100+ degree weather days! And I'm not quite sure what Clark is doing...



We LOVE Mt. Charleston. We can't visit Las Vegas without hike on Mt. Charleston.



See why we love it?



Clark striking his usual pose... but may be leaving nature a little surprise this time ;)



This will make our future Vegas trips that much more enjoyable! A bridge being built to bypass the Hoover Dam!

Blonde Ambition

Months and months ago I decided I wanted to donate my hair to Locks of Love and go blonde. I was blonde 4 years ago, and I loved it. It only lasted six months though since I was under financial constraints as a college student. So last night I made the big change.

The Before Picture (Please just take note of the length, not the fact that I just rolled out of bed)

The After Picture



Wait, who's that hottie? Definitely not me.

There will be no pictures of me with the "new do."

The cut is fine but I am extremely depressed about the color. I asked for BLONDE. Not dirty. It's way too streaky and you can hardly see the blonde. What do I do now???

This is the blonde I was going for, the blonde I surely did not end up with.



I think I deserve my very own personal carton of ice cream. That can always cheer me up.

Celebrate!

Happy Jelly-Filled Doughnut Day!


This website cracks me up. A different food holiday for each day of the year. Check your birthday holiday out! I wish mine was National Fudge Day or National Cheese Souffle Day but alas mine is National Indian Pudding Day.

My Little Cyclist

For the past year and a half I have forsaken my awesome road bike. After my collegiate running career ended, I bought a bike in order to do triathlons. After only a couple of triathlons I decided I couldn't hack the swimming portion of the race and decided to once again focus primarily on running. So my bike got the shaft for a loooooooong time, the tires went flat and it collected dust.

Now, however, Clark has decided that he wants to start cycling. We went out and bought some cleats and he transferred the clips that were on my cleats to his. He practiced clipping in and out while holding onto a wall. He didn't seem to get the hang of it at first which gave me high anxiety. He wanted to go out and try out the cleats at midnight--which I have no problem with--but I was fearful for his safety. I specifically told him to clip out BEFORE he stops; I didn't want to have an emergency room situation on my hands. So he went outside and he had a couple of practice rides up and down our street. The second time he forgot to clip out before he stopped and toppled over. I have a tendency to overreact but luckily very little harm was done. He practiced a few times and now I think it is safe to say he has the hang of it.







Happy riding Clark!

Unwelcome Visitor

**shudder**




Trust me, pictures don't do it justice. This was a monster. And I almost cried. The last time we had a spider this big in the house I did cry. Luckily I have a husband who is brave enough to spray Raid and shower cleaner on suckers like these.
