Tula Louise

Tula is still our BIG bundle of (loud, barking, messy, smelly, loving, crazy, cute, sweet) joy. She keeps us on our toes and lets us know when she is not happy. She is very vocal and likes to tell Brandon exactly what she thinks.

She loves to play with other dogs when she goes to the kennel, but is still working on doggie communication, and needs to have time-outs, just like at home. It's a good thing she does so well there as it has been her home away from home this summer with all of our weddings and trips.

She is really a good dog, or at least we think she wants to become a good dog :) We love her and wouldn't change her for anything!

She loves the Packers and thinks Aaron Rodgers is her boyfriend. One day Brandon said something bad about him and she went nuts!
She helps rake the leaves...

Here is a cute one, just relaxin...

She likes to climb into the bath tub when I'm getting ready...

How pathetic :).................... We call this porn puppy when she does it

ELLEN IS ENGAGED!

I almost forgot, my other best friend in the world got engaged last February and is getting married next July. I'm so honored to be a part of this wedding and can't wait to celebrate! Congrats Ellen and Dan!

Krissy's Bachelorette!

In May, one of my best friends of all time, Krissy, had her bachelorette party. Her Mom and sister's did an awesome job, and it was waaaay to much fun.

Mackey, her now husband, also had his bachelor party. Of course boys don't take pictures... or picture taking is illegal at strip clubs, I can't remember ;)

Here are a few from the girls party....

Both of us Lytle's had a good showing at the parties. I nearly drank all of the jaeger in the bar and my dear husband fell asleep (or did he pass out?) at the 'club'.

Crohn's Walk & Mike n Jules Anniversary 2010

In May, over my parents 30th wedding anniversary weekend, we had almost everyone from both sides of the family come up to support the Crohn's Walk. It was a gorgeous weekend and the walk was very successful, we raised almost $3,000 as a team!

We all went out to dinner at Oceanaire to celebrate my mom and dad's anniversary. 30 years is amazing and so are they! They are the best example, along with Kevin and Diane, of how love, a marriage, and a family should be.

The whole group....

Dono-man having fun on our playground in the backyard.....

The couple of honor... LOVE YOU GUYS!

Finally A New Post, and in Our New House!

I haven't been very good about updating this thing and we have been very busy for the past 6 months so here it goes...

We moved into our new house at the end of April/Eary May this year and are so happy with it!

We had some good quality pool time, did a few house projects, tried to get used to house and yard work, realized how much work and money goes into houses, and had a lot of fun!

Here are some before and afters...

We plan to do more throughout the house, and have some more decorating to do EVERYWHERE, but are happy with where we are now. The next project is to clear the crap out of the garage so we can fit 2 cars in there for the winter :)
