So I just realized I need to start posting more often. I have been a little distracted and feel like I actually have time to post again.. So where to begin..
Well, please meet our Daughter Kambryn Nikel..




Kambryn was born on December 12, 2010. She was 7 pound & 19 inches long.. She is just the most wonderful baby girl ever.

Updates....

So this is what has been going on with us!!

You could say... It's pretty big news..





There were MANY more test.. Never can be too sure :)






Frankie and I are thrilled! We are so excited to have a new member on the way. Baby Iriart is due December 19th!

Happy Holidays...

We had a wonderful Turkey day! We usually split our day with both families and WOW do we eat a lot. It's so nice to see family that we don't get to see that often.. We really enjoy it..

Also, Frankie and I had a wonderful Christmas this year. We also split that day up and by about 8pm, we are beat! We are so thankful to have our amazing families. They have been so great to us.

For new years we played cards with Frankie's family and rang in the new year in our sweats and playing cards.. It was really relaxing and fun! Nothing beats a fun night with our family...

He likes to stay clean, okay?

Imagine, you have waited all day to take a long and much deserved hot shower.. You turn the shower on and let the water run so that it will be just perfect when your ready to get in.
The anticipation is building as you just cant wait to clean off and enjoy the hot water pouring down your face.... Awww.. I can feel it now...
Just as you open the curtain and the steam hits your face you look down to see.............



Ziggy has beat you to it..... Hahahaha.....
I guess he needed a shower too... LOL....

It’s becoming a tradition that we attend the Harvest Ball for Halloween. Our group loves to dress up and yes it’s for a VERY good cause. The children’s justice center hosts the event and local businesses sponsor tables. It’s so much fun!

This year our group decided to be a “blast from the past”! The 80’s were back! I dressed as Cyndi Lauper and most everyone else in the group were either Rockers or Groupies! Needless to say, we had a blast!!

A trip away...

So.. For my bday (yes clear back in April) Frankie's parents got me tickets to DEF LEPPARD! You can imagine how many times I jumped up and down opening that gift! Well, to top it off, Frankie had gotten me tickets to see Nickelback the night after DEF LEPPARD! I was stoked.. Sadly, I had to wait until almost the end of August to fully enjoy my gift, but non the less, we had an awesome time! I sadly, didn’t get any pics at the Poison and Def Lep concert. The mean lady made me take my camera back to the car! And.. Sure enough as soon as we get in there, everyone and their DOG has a camera! Figures.. So, I wasn’t going to let that happen for NICKELBACK!.. Yes, I did the obvious and smuggled it in! Well so did everyone near me so I didn’t feel so criminal like! Haha.. We had great seats and saw 4 awesome bands.. Saving Abel opened, then Papa Roach, Hinder followed and for the grand finale… NICKELBACK! I have wanted to go see them in concert for years now. I will definitely say they put on one hell of a show! I will definitely go every time they come to town! Here are some of the pics I took of that night… LOVED IT!

One Year...

Today marks the one year anniversary of the tragic death of our good friend, Steve!
It was a year ago today that God took you from us. Although he has his reasons, I still don't know what they were.
You are thought of every time we all get together for a BBQ or especially when we all go camping together. Each trip, your name is brought up and we all think of how special you always will be to us.
I keep Steve's "In Loving Memory" card on the top shelf of my desk at work. I know all of us at Tram still talk about all the great memories we shared with you!
Thank you Steve for always being such an amazing friend. You will always hold a special place in the hearts of everyone you knew...
Rest In Peace Steve...

Gage's Mountain Birthday Party!!

Gage had a blast at his birthday party! This year he wanted everyone to come up on the mountain and camp! What Gage wants, Gage got!!
We all really enjoyed the beautiful weather and fun 4-wheeler ride.
We could tell all the kids had a great time!

The new addition... Birthday Bliss...

We have had such a fun and busy summer! We have enjoyed every chance we have gotten out and played!

Well, Frankie and I took a camping trip with all of our friends. We had a great time with all of them! Although, some of our friends had some new toys that sparked Frankie’s interest..

Needless to say his birthday just happened to be approaching VERY quickly….

I knew he would absolutely love this new toy! And to be honest I was a bit excited to try it out myself..

So…

Happy Birthday Frankie…

View from the top

We recently took a day to head up on the mountain with some of Frankie’s family. We took a nice 4 wheeler ride and went for a little hike. The mountain is very relaxing and has such a great view. The kids enjoy chasing an occasional lizard and trying to skip rocks on the pond.

One Year Ago Today...

We adopted Ziggy!

Zig has grown into a MUCH bigger dog than we ever anticipated. But, we love him more and more each day! He is such a loving dog and is SLOWLY learning to stop ruining the backyard. Zig has come along way in this last year. He came from the pound, where he had already had two owners before we adopted him. He was only 12 weeks old! He learned how to dig holes in the new sod and chew up brand new flip flops.

Mainly, he learned how to win over our hearts and become an indoor dog instead of the outdoor dog he originally was SUPPOSED to be. He now knows where his bed is (on the floor next to me) and if you ever can't find him, odds are that he is sitting in the bath tub!
He still has issues getting out of his pen in the backyard and we get the phone call from the neighbors that Ziggy is out in the gutter playing!
He never seems to venture too far, but wow he loves to sit in the gutter and wait for us to pull in the driveway! We love ya Zig.. Thanks for making our family so happy!!

Iriart Family Zoo

Well, We added a new addition to the Iriart Family Zoo! His name is Tiki.
Yes I know what you are thinking, "why do they keep adding animals"? Well, the only thing I can say is that I just love em.. Okay! haha..
Maybe next will be rabbits, fish and a couple birds.. That might not go over so well with Frankie!

4th of July with the Rockies!

So, we had such a great time in Denver. Uncle Kent took the whole family to a couple of the Rockies games over the 4^th of July weekend. We had a blast! Three nights were just not enough..

It was so fun for the whole family to take a trip and make so many fun memories. We love Denver anyway, but this trip was extremely special. Not only did we get to spend quality time with our family, but the Rockies played Frankie’s favorite team, the Diamondbacks. It was so fun to see them play again.

Here are some of the pictures of our wonderful trip!!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy TWO year anniversary to Frankie and I! I can't believe it has been two years since we said "I Do"!
I will never forget the morning of our wedding. I had stayed at my parents the night before and was sitting in the living room sipping my cup of coffee. I heard my phone go off and looked down to read the message I had. It read, "I can"t wait to marry you. I love you and will see you soon"... It was perfect. So, here we are two years later! Thank you for being who you are and holding my hand during any bad day I have.
I love you!
