A Great, Great Dane Day at the Park!

This is Caesars' pre-Great Dane Day at the Park massage! He needed to be on his 'A game" for the day!

Caesar meeting another bandaged friend! This Blue dane is 11 months old... 7 months older than Caesar and they were almost the same size.... Ohhhh boy!!

Caesar and Andrew participating in the Best Couch Sitter contest... Caesar isn't allowed on the furniture so he hopped on and hopped off before we could get a photo! Andrew for the big day wore his new tube socks to the event!! (Love you Dad Hogan!)

Caesars second Blue Dane friend could fit his entire neck in his mouth!! Caesar loved it... The bystanders were a little nervous... Puppy Love!

Great Dane Day at the park is now an annual activity for the Hogan's. We went last year when we were dating, and decided that we needed one. It was fun to come this year with a Dane. There were over seventy Great Danes at the park today, it looks like a bunch of Horses running around barking at each other!! They have competitions like "Best Couch Sitter, Biggest Nose, Cutest Puppy, Best Hot Dog Catcher, Oldest and Youngest Dane." We couldn't stay too long we had to get back to Saturday Chores. One of the 'Greatest' days of the year... No pun intended!

SUNDANCE

Here are some pictures of our little jaunt up to Stewart Falls in Sundance!

This is one of our favorite "little adventures" it's just fun a break from doing the usual.

We have taken this little stroll several times, but haven't been back since Andrew proposed at the waterfall. So it will always be special to us.

The view from here is incredible. And it was such a fun spring day. The weather was perfect, and it was so relaxing.

Our puppy dog LOVED it!!!

SO BIG!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

To my amazing sister Meghan!! Congratulations on graduating and turning 24 on the same day!! You're an amazing sister, and we just wanted to tell you how great we think you are!!!

Meghan and I pretty much grew up as twins. Only being born 16 months apart, we were pretty much inseperable!! So many memories we have together, a lot of them include those sponge curlers you see in Meghan's hair!! Meghan was much better about keeping them in! (yes I started my life out as a brunette!!)

Just a picture of the "little girls." This is what we were called, we always came in a set. My sister Kami said the other day that she just realized she always said our name as one. We are always MeghanLindsay. It's never Meg And Lindsay, just meghanlindsay. And I love it!!

This is Meghan and me at soccer camp. You can tell who was really there to actually play. Meghan is up for any adventure, and I love that about her. Whether it is signing up for soccer camp just to go to St. George and hang out!! Meghan has always been there to support me and I love her for that!

And last but not least you HAVE to throw in a picture of Disney World!! No better place to spend time with your sister than the Happiest Place on Earth!!! Boy do we love this place!!

We Had To Do It!!!

As much as we want to pretend like we are not those people who are obsessed with our dog, but if we had his percentiles from the doctor you bet we would be bragging about them. He for now (and for quite a while) is our only baby!

This is Caesar with his baby! Lindsay took him to the pet store and Caesar picked up this duck and hasn't put it down since. Wherever he goes the duck is right with him, he only sets him down for a second to sniff at something, then he picks him right back up to explore something else.

This is Caesar before we had his ears done!! Look how cute and floppy they are!! Love this dog!

Caesar and Andrew just surfing the internet!!

We woke up in the morning and found Caesar like this! He had picked the blanket off the floor and tucked himself in!! He was covering his face from the light... Yes we think he's fantastic!

My fifteen week old puppy!!!! Its amazing how fast they grow... sad at points because he gets growing pains and you can tell he is sore. He is now taller than our friends two year old lab!! He will be one big boy!

After the ear cropping!! Now people don't like to just walk in our gate. Especially at night, which we love! And this is Caesars first day of school photo! haha his first day of puppy preschool!! (we're still working on getting that one ear to straighten up)

Our Little Projects!!

Well this is where it all started! I can't get the before pictures of our table to load so here is the after shot! We started our married life in January, and we came home from our honeymoon to a mattress donated by my sister Kami! (Thanks again Kam!) In desperate need of some help Kami took me shopping and we came out with some treasures... Everything you see in this room we purchased for under $120!! We were so happy! We had to do a lot of sanding, repainting, glazing, and cleaning, but we LOVE how it turned out! It was Andrew's idea to paint the table red, and it turned out better than we thought! We then sanded a kitchen table, and that one is still in the works.

We decided to go a little daring and leave beige land!! We painted the bathroom a 'crisp' blue! We got the idea from a lady that I work for. It is the color of her bathroom, and it makes the room feel very fresh!! The worst part about painting has to be taping... just in my personal opinion!

This is the finished product... The bathroom is tiny, so it was very difficult to get a picture of the whole thing, but you basically get the idea...

Andrew is the hardest worker I know... He is always picking up side jobs to do after work. He has learned how to do so many new things in the last few months, he never ceases to amaze me. These are pictures of the fence where Drew replaced the post that had rotted and caused the fence to fall into the owners lawn!

Drew gives his all into EVERYTHING.... No job is just slapped together... You can tell that by the focus he displays in this photo!!

Y0u can tell how much help I am during most of these projects.... I usually am there to supervise an oversee all of the work that is being done.... And throw in very useful comments!!! haha

Everyday I am surprised by Drew's strength! When he wants something to move, it moves... Something to cut it cuts.... Something to break, it breaks... He's a HERO! As our nephews would say....(and a "real good guy!" according to my brother Michael's son Indy!) I sure like him!!

So not only does Drew have to work extremely hard after work, but he has to stand in stupid positions for photographs because I ask him too!! Secretly he LOVES it!!! Well that is pretty much what we do... We have also cut down trees, broken up concrete (well you know who actually did that one) dog sat, painted, put in disposals, moved washers and dryers- in and out, and in and out, and in and out one more time, torn out basements, put carpet in.... you name it!!

We are now onto a HUGE project but it will be a while before the before and after pictures are ready!!

What We Have Been Up To

We are just trying to play a little catch up on what has been going on and we thought we would kick it off with a Andrews birthday!!! He loved wearing his princess hat while he blew out candles on his cupcake birthday cake!!! What a good sport!! The grandkids loved it!

This is Andrew, Nick and little Lizzy playing with Andrews birthday present!! Our new puppy Caesar!! Andrew was showing Lizzy how to pet a puppy and he said sit down and Lizzy said, "Should I sit 'criss cross applesauce!?" We love this little girl!

Well we got a dog, and we are obsessed with him! Andrew got him for his Twenty-Fifth Birthday! He's a great dane and we got him two months ago at 25 lbs, and he is now 54 lbs! We love taking him to the dog park, home depot, my moms house and pretty much everywhere we go, he goes! He has a great personality and is so great with kids!

Well we got a blog! As much fun as we have describing to everyone on the phone what we are doing we thought we would help out those of you who are more "visual learners"! We hope you enjoy!
