Lily Dog

Ever since our first month of marriage, Danielle sneaks "puppy" on the weekly shopping list.  Isn't she a silly head? Well one day she sat me down and said, "We need a puppy."
She had obviously been thinking about it a lot because everything I had to say against getting a puppy she had a rebuttal.  The next day we were looking at puppies for sale.

There was a nice litter of 7 where the mommy was a Yorkie and the dad was a schnauzer and that's where we got our little Schnorkie, Lily!

Our little ball of fluff was about a pound when we got her

She sleeps in weird positions.  She generally is hyped up for about an hour, then instantly passes out (after peeing on our floor, of course)

I have always wanted a dog to give myself a dog-beard. 

Danielle and I have had a mix of emotions about our new addition.  It was about day 3 where we tried to sell her back to her litter because of her constant whining.  But now I think we're going to keep her!  She knows how to sit and can almost lay down.  She is pretty good at peeing either on her pee-pad or holding it until we go outside, but she loves to pee on our carpet in spite of us when she's mad.

Here she is being tolerant of her loving parents!  

Stay tuned for Halloween.  She already has a nice costume ready to go.

KirkZilla Update

Welcome to the first post of the official Kirks II (Matt and Katie reserved the name of Kirks I).  We have had quite a few adventures in the four months of marriage we've shared together.  First of all, Danielle found her spirit animal at the Krishna temple in Spanish Fork

That's a llama...not to be confused with Danielle who is making a pretty convincing impression.

Ashton found a new friend as well.

About the time that Danielle was added to the family, these two came along too.

We have been to quite a few concerts where we saw

• Cute is what we Aim For
• Mayday Parade
• Bayside
• Beebs and Her Moneymakers
• I Fight Dragons
• The Ready Set

And last but not least...

• 311

Danielle loves to talk about how much her husband's arm tingles when he listens to them (hehe). We're pretty much all concerted out.  But stay tuned because there are some more concerts on the way!

Ashton's work,Wavetronix, is pretty much the coolest job ever.  They provide tickets to wonderful events and reimburse us for any "bonding" activities that we partake in.  We'd like to thank our sponsors for the following fun events...

Atop the ferris wheel at Goo Lagoon

We bought a club at DI and got free coaching lessons from a professional golfer dude (with a stellar British accent).  He was off to the PGA tour after coaching us.

REAL Salt Lake Soccer game!

There's this place called Waffle Love that everyone loves to spend money at.  So Ashton copied there recipe and we eat them daily for very cheap! Yum Yums!

This blog posted consisted merely of the photographs that Ashton has taken on his phone.  This doesn't even start to cover the extensive exhilaration that we experienced in the first four months. 

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, ERIK!

I hope you just read that title in an epic voice. That's how I meant it to be read. This is Danielle by the way. I got the wonderful chance to read Ashton's epic blogging adventures awhile back, but never thought I'd have the thrilling opportunity to actually post on it myself. IT'S AN HONOR 

Here's some pictures of the life of Dashton...

This dude's name was Erik. It was quite the moment.

I've turned Ashton into a treehugger. PS I'm halfway a hippie

The jazzalicious game we attended. One of Ashton's many drawing wins!

Red Robbins..nommmmm

A rockin' time in Moab! (next time we'll bring the unicycles..after I become a pro like ya'll)

If Michael Phelps did diving instead of the butterfly in the Olympics, we'd be him but in the sky

Another rockin' time of ours

And last, but not least, YOUR THRIFT STORE
