Ohana Stand Up Paddle

So excited for Albuquerque Lifestyle magazine. Behind the scenes for the cover shoot- boards were supposed to be on the water, drone flying overhead to take the ultimate shot of the boards, the LAUNCH lit up with the Sandia mountains as the backdrop. But NM rains had a different agenda, so this group improvised. With @vivacwinery pouring wine while it poured rain. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of your magical day for the release of your magazine and launch. Check out #albuquerquelifestyle magazine. And my @halagearsup providing some rad backdrop. #hala #launchday @newmexico @nm_outside

Los Angeles… we had a great time in LA! Traveled with our mountain bikes, rode along the beach for miles, had fresh wonderful food. We stayed in the most beautiful casita with a salt water pool. Watched the Dodgers lose and then kick ass against the Astros. We missed our Zia, but we knew she was being loved and spoiled w/boyfriend Frankie. Spent my birthday turning 46, watching my team! I couldn’t have asked for a better time. #losangeles #losangelesfood #fresh #oceanride #mlb #dodgers #dodgerfans #bleedblue #birthday ##blessed #cantwaittillnexttime

It’s the Zia & Frankie show. 🐾#itsadogslife

New Mexico Park Rangers keeping us safe over the Fourth of July weekend. Captured this gorgeous shot as the sun was setting. They were loading the boat back up on the trailer. Our Park Rangers hard at work.

In our own shop, out from the garage and this gorgeous piece was the first born from our new space. ☀️🔆

The NM ZIA symbol; The four cardinal directions (north, south, east, west)
The four seasons of the year (spring, summer, fall, winter)
The four periods of the day (morning, noon, evening, night)
And the four steps of life (childhood, youth, adulthood, old age)

The circle in the middle of the rays ties the rays together to represent love and life.

I also like to think new beginnings. Metal is beautiful and it’s amazing what can be created and crafted.

Law Enforcement Torch Run- my soul sister and work partner survived the 12 miles- in the dead heat of the afternoon. It was an honor to cycle along other bikers and runners, and alongside my Fire and Police family. I love the people I work with. Great pride, huge hearts all for a special cause to kick off the Special Olympics. Seeing the men/women carry the flag and torch to pass it on. As Officer B. Sanchez said, not special they are EXCEPTIONAL! #lawenforcementorchrun #specialolympics #policefamily #firefighterfamily #greatday

When Zia ♥️grew wings.
She doesn’t even remember the life she had. All she knows is her life now, she can soar.
Then one day she woke up, decided she was a bucking bronco and ready to rodeo. 🐎

Her lake day yesterday with boyfriend Frankie. #zia #ziastrong #sherescuedme #germanshepherd #germanshepherdsofinstagram #nomorecrueltytoanimals #newlife #rodeodog #germanshepherdturnedbronco #lakelife #lakedaze

When your girl Raquel starts making a very loud click, click in the dash, this sexy guy says; “that sounds like your blend door actuator.” 🤔 I wasn’t sure I heard him correctly. So I look it up, sure as s**t, it’s a thing or part. So he straight up replaced it today. I now have regulated hot and cold air again. ♥️🤩he’s a winner! And a keeper. @gillaspiefam4 @metaldogironworks_llc #mymechanic #ford #fordsvt #raptor #gen1raptor

The nice thing about being owner, you can put yourself in timeout. Worked hard labor all day with @metaldogironworks_llc 400feet plus fence job today. It looks gorgeous. Ben has done a fantastic job with his crew. Right now, it’s @skabrewing #mexicanlager and hot tub and true crime. #tiredasamother #beer30 #metaldogironworks #wroughtironfence #welding

Just act natural, they don’t see me.

New Ford Raptor driver in the making. She thinks she’s cute, (she is) ♥️
Always wants to be in the driver seat. #actingnatural #fordtrucks #fordraptorsvt #svt #letsdothis #sendingit #ziastrong

So, after months of research I kept coming back to @1upusa for a bike rack. I’m particular with what I accessorize Raquel with. (Raquel is my sexy Raptor) 🔥. I ordered the 2” Super Duty in black. And it DEFINITELY does not disappoint. It’s heavy duty, built for adventures, incredibly easy to install and holds our bikes with ease and stability. I am 100% in love with my choice, highly recommend this bike rack if you are in the market. #1upadventure #madeintheusa #mountainbikelife #scottmountainbike #landofenchantment #raptor #girlswhoride #girlswhodrivetrucks #bosquetrail

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted lake picks and paddle boarding. It’s here my soul feels free, my heart is open and I feel alive. These were taken a couple Saturday’s ago. The water is still very cold, but the air and sun ☀️ feel so warm on the skin. My family day at the lake, with our new addition Zia, who has moved onto to being FREE! She has healed perfectly, and now can run wild like the bucking horse 🐎 she is. ♥️(not exaggerating) haha. I am so looking forward to having classes on the lake again, seeing beautiful faces and filling our lungs with the desert ☀️. We live in a state that has perfect weather and beautiful skies. Let’s enjoy this!! #nmdesert #sunshine #feelinggood #nmlakes #vibinghigh #halaradito @halagearsup @beautifulnewmexico. #optoutdoors #ziastrong #ziaishername #sup #suppup #germanshepherd #sherescuedme

Eating is never solo anymore. She sneaks in under my arm and waits.... Chronicles of Zia dog. ♥️🤣#dogsofinstagram #germanshepherdsofinstagram #mydogiscutest #ziastrong #zia #eating #shessneaky

After careful consideration, praying and the internal struggle if this was acceptable. Ben and I decided to ask for any help towards Zia’s care and rehabilitation.
We knew she needed repairing from the day we adopted her, but never knew to what degree or expenses.
Every amount donated will go to her bills and future care, and anything over I will donate to a dog charity. I promise you that.
Even a share of her Go Fund Me is everything.

Thank you for being so supportive and helping us through this time. We love her and will continue to provide her the comfort, love and safety she deserves.

It was a very cold evening for an install. This stunning home under construction, with the most amazing views of our Sandia Mountain was the site tonight. Generator supplied power and heat 💨☃️🌬🔥follow Metal Dog Iron Works on IG. We finally have the page up, website in progress, merchandise coming soon. Thank you all for your support. #metaldogironworks #wroughtirongate #custommade #welder #weldlife #coldweather

What a fun weekend!!!! (Sort of) “death stairs” they called it, Pat Hurley Park we ran 3 rounds of stairs. My workout crew did the 3 rounds, I did 2.2 rounds. 😰😬
Mountain biked the Bosque to a place called Bike In Coffee. Where these picks were taken. What a wonderful gem to ride up to. Biked from Alameda to I40 for our stop at this sweet cool spot with cool jazz playing. Grabbed my chili from Rosales Chili stand, soaked in a hot 🥵 bath when I got home. I can move a little better now. Haha #bikelife #bikeincoffeeabq #getmiving #optoutside #stayhealthy @nm_outside @newmexicohealthyliving

First time seeing our logo on print and it looks AMAZING! Most importantly helping my talented man for a meeting that could turn Metal Dog around. So incredibly proud of him @metaldogironworks #metaldogironworks #futureisbright #workhardstayhumble

Say WHAT!! Stoked beyond words to see our logo for Metal Dog Iron Works.
Back story, losing Kimber so suddenly was heartbreaking for us. We wanted to honor her in a way that we knew would be fun and creative. She was fun, amazing and always my adventure buddy.
@flylanddesigns_brian_allen was on my IG page as I had been following his page as I loved what I saw. I reached out and inquired about a logo for our business. And 💥 bam! Amazing, words can’t describe how happy we are.

Metal Dog Iron Works is a family business, started from the ground up. We value family and friends and wanted something special yet unique. Brian nailed the design for the business and we are officially presenting it. If you are in the market for an Illustrator/Graphic Designer I whole heartily recommend Flyland Designs. Check out his page, you won’t stop scrolling (I promise)

Metal Dog Iron Works here for your custom metal needs. We specialize in wrought iron security gates, windows, fencing etc. residential or commercial give Metal Dog a call.

Thank you Brian @flylanddesigns_brian_allen for your amazing talent and making the process so easy to follow. We LOVE our logo. #metaldog #metaldogiron #family #familybusiness #ironman #welder #weldersofinstagram #ournewlogo #graphicdesign #flylanddesigns

Rode from Flying Star at Corrales & Alameda to Tingley Beach along the river. Much more enjoyable, but still feel like dying after 20+ miles. But the pizza, beer and our Zia made me feel so much better. #bosque #bosqueriding #mybodyhurts

Dis my new ride. Fox shocks to match Raquel 🤩#foxshocks #mountainbike #mountainlife #mountainbiking #godhelpme

Zia found love. She laid eyes on this handsome young buck @madman_atlas and never stopped 👀looking. Then found his lap and she was happy. 💓#nationaldogday #ziastrong is still recovering from her hip surgery, slow and steady and we hope she makes a full recovery. So happy to have finally met Ben’s older son Max. Zia was mesmerized 😍 @gillaspiefam4

What a nice surprise to be treated from a local company @huemanrpo supporting other local businesses @joespastahouse All of the staff received gift cards to Joe’s Pasta House. Best legit Italian food. I love seeing business support each other, and our staff were vert grateful for the thanks they received. #supoortlocalbusiness #911dispatcher

Zia ♥️ also known as ZeZe or Zee. She had a minor set back after her surgery, but all looks good now. Hopefully her recovery will continue to be positive. Her hair is growing in and her stitches get removed tomorrow. She’s a ball of energy, walking and hopping along these days. #ziastrong #germanshepherd #germanshepherds #mydogisfunny

Best 45th birthday. This man of mine made me a homemade birthday card that weighs as much as I do (jk) 😊he welded, cut steel and etched in my card. Best ever. He also cooked these tomahawk steaks to perfection, added some wine and I’m a happy girl and blessed truly. #45yearsaroundthesun #blessedlife #birthdayspoiled
