serious catch up...

I can't believe how much has happened since our last post. I definitely won't be able to fit it all into one post but I need to start playing catch up. First of all, Hank and I drove 24 hours back to Utah. Poor kid was bored out of his mind. We played the dumbest games ever, but we were desperate for something to keep us awake on the road. The biggest highlight of the trip...I finally got to meet my handsome nephew, Felix.

Is that not the most beautiful little man everrr!
Grandpa Clay got visit for a day too.

The Beautiful Gulley Family

It was so fun to see everyone while we were home. Especially, little Felix.

Then.... I got to see my dog again! It has been the longest 3 months without that little guy! It was fun because I got there on his 1st birthday. He was soooo excited to see me. It made me feel way good because Colt kept telling me he had forgotten me. I jumped for like 20 minutes straight and wouldnt leave my side. He's a momma's boy. ;)I'm so happy that I finally have him home with me. He loves San Antonio, but that's another post.

He loved his hoof and fresh beef bone!


Another fun highlight, we got to be home for Maddi and Coleman's birthday's as well. Here is Coleman after we woke him up on his birthday. Sleepy little man.

We had to wake up little Keslee too. Just love here.

Cole opening his present, he loved it. :)

Keslee thinks Colt is so funny!!

After visiting Heber, we made our way to St. George, Utah for Uncle Bummer's annual golf tournament. Since we were'nt sure if we were going to make it, Colt didnt golf so we went to the red rocks and to a trail and went hiking for the day. Tuf loved it!!
Dad and Tuf. Love these boys.

tuf was kindof a scary cat... like always. He would jump down the cracks so colt and car had to carry him. Tuf is really the worst name for him!

Handsome Guys!

After St. George, Carson and I took Colton to Las Vegas to catch his flight back to San Antonio the next day. Sadly, I don't have any pictures but we had fun walking the strip. Well kindof, once you do it a few times it just gets old, crowded and tiring. We were all more excited to go back to the hotel, hot tub, and sleep!
The next day, Colt flew home and Carson and I started our 24 drive back to SA. Tuf was so exhausted, he slept in his food bowl. He cracks me up!

My wingman was super tired too...

Overall, we had an amazing trip! I better cut this never-ending post off but just wanted to document. We were so greatful for Colt's time off to finally go home and see everyone!!

Hank came to visit!!

Colt has a few days off for Easter this year so we decided we would go to home to Utah for a couple days. We have also have been trying to get Tuf down here. Apparently, because of boxers respiratory systems, they are no longer allowed to fly on airlines so we decided that I would have to drive home and get him. So this is our plan...

We flew Hank to San Antonio so I wouldnt have to make the 24 hour drive alone.
Hank hung out with us for a week.
Over the next two days, Hank I will drive to Utah. Then Hank will go home.
Next Tuesday Colton will fly into Salt Lake.
Then Colt and I will hang out for a few days and go to Uncle Bummers yearly golf tourny in St. George.
Then Colt will fly back to San Antonio for work the day after Easter and his little brother, Carson, and I will drive back to SA with Tuf.
Then Carson will get to hang out with us for a few days.

It's quite the plan but we are having fun and can't wait to have our dog down here!


Here a few pics from Hanks visit. {mom these are mostly for you, hope you like them!}

Hank, Colt and I with Sylvester.

Colt and Hank at Six Flags

Hank and I playing Jurassic Park

funfun.

Loved having no lines!

Scooby Doo!

Scooby Ride broke down half way through... and Hank is a dork.

Hank's Churro!

Hank at the Alamo!!

Hank a tree from the 1800's.

Hank finally got to eat at Dick's Last Resort. I have avoided this place since I got to San Antonio and Hank wanted to go so bad. So, I sucked it up and went with him. It was definitely another experience...

Inappropriate hat they made Hank.

San Antonio Zoo.

nice smile bra.

Elephants! Hank, what are you doing with your hands??

Laying out by the pool!

pool day!

Hank was trying to get the maximum amount of rays without getting wet.

not use to 85 degrees in March.

eating a ridiculous amount of my "pretty" {that is super sarcastic} casserole.

teaching Hank how to play speed.

Overall, I think has had a great trip. I'm sure I will have a blog post overload in the next couple weeks with everything going on! It's crazy and we're loving it!

When rain comes to stay, the Bangerters will play.

You know the expression "rain on my parade"? In our world, rain starts it. If we have nice weather, Colt will work seven days a week. But if it rains hard enough, especially lightening and thundering, the boys have to call it a day. These are my favorites cuz I get to spend time with my hubs :) Just wanted to post a couple pics from tonight.

Love him. :)

Nothing too exciting is happening in San Antonio right now. I wish I had more to blog to you all back home. I am super excited because I get my hair done tomorrow. It hasn't been done in two and a half months as you can probably see in the pics above. So that's fun.
It's hard traveling because we dont really know for sure how long we will be in each spot so we can't really sign housing contracts or gym memberships. I am not a good runner at all but I really miss the classes i went to everyday, so I ordered INSANITY. I was going to do P90X because I have tried it in the past and I know it does a good job of kicking your butt, but I needed more cardio. INSANITY is by the same company but a 60 day cardio challenge. It gets here tomorrow and I can't wait to start it!! I needed new workout shoes and I had read alot of people who do Insanity use Vibram Five Fingers. I always thought they were the ugliest things... but I tried them on and fell in love! I had to have a pair. So....

I don't think I'll be going to the grocery store or out of lunch in them anytime soon but for working out... they are awesome!! I wore them aroud the house the first night I got them and felt like a ninja all night. Colton got sick of me running from room to room and making ninja jokes... but I totally got a kick out of them.

Well, hopefully I'll have more interesting things to write next post.
We miss you all back home!! X's and O's!

Colton Neil

WARNING!!! SUPER SAPPY LOVE POST AHEAD!!!
I just have to post about my handsome hubby. Seriously, I am so unbelievably grateful for this man. Colt has worked 12-13 hours straight the past 11 days and still isn't sure when he will get his next day off. He does it with such a good attitude and really loves what he does. I am so blessed to have a husband so willing to work so hard to provide for our future family.

I'm pretty sure I might have done this in the past but I just want to write down a few of my favorite things about him

I love when Colt comes home from work, he gets so excited and hugs me like he has been gone for a year... everyday.

I love that Colt spoils me way more than he should.

I love that he lets me pretend I am married to Dierks Bentley and he settles for being my number two man {even though he is totally number one.. even to Dierks}

I love that he compliments me and you can tell that he means it.

I love how excited he is to have kids.

I love his singing voice and the way he makes up songs about everything he does.

I kinda love his mad driving skills even though a gasp and grab the dashboard all the time.

I love that he loves our families and how important they are to him.

I love the way he tickles his right arm in his sleep every night without fail.

I love our code words and inside jokes.

I love that he is sincerely nice to everyone he meets, the waiters, movie ticket guy, grocer...

I love {and am secretly jealous} of how animals love him. It's weird how even the meanest animals soften up to him.

I love the way he treats our dog like our kid. {makes me feel okay about me doing it ;)}

I love the way he talks to his brother and does his best to be an example to him.

I love his prayers.

I love that he lets me what all my girlie shows that I TiVo and I love his bachelor obsession.

I love when plays with my hair

I love that he thanks me for little things I do around the house whether it's organizing, laundry, cooking, vacuuming, new candle... he notices and makes it 100 times more worth it.

I love that he is truly my best friend.

I love the way he makes me feel like the most important, special girl ever.

I love that I can trust him.

Most of all I love that I get to spend eternity with him.

Thanks for being the best husband ever Colt. I love with everything I have and more.

Just had to share this with you guys. We could not stop laughing when we read it. I hope it brightens your day. xoxo.

Dierks Bentley!!!

For Valentines Day Colt got me "Star Experience" tickets for the Rodeo Finals and front row to Dierks Bentley. Basically last night was amazing!!

Yep, I'm in love. With my husband of course. ;)

Red!

Branching out. Colt told me I looked like a 7th grade girl who colored in her hair when I tried pink yesterday...

Maybe he will like red more. ;)
