Mother's Day <3

I know it's a little early, but I'm really looking forward to Mother's Day this year. :)

Especially since I get to celebrate with my sister as she is making her way into the next phase of her life bringing a new niece or nephew into the world :D Anyway, I just wanted to share the quilts I made for my Mom and Kelly for Mother's Day. :D (I'm probably a little too excited...but the hand stitching took a little while so I'm very glad that thy are done! :P)

This one is for my Mom. It sort of looks bigger than it is. 5' by 4'. :)

The little one is for the new baby :D I know it looks a little 'boyish' but I promise there is some pink on there! :P
















This is another one I'm ALMOST done with...it's sort of in pieces right now...but it will be finished soon. Another baby blanket, just a little bigger. :)
(and a little more girly...)

Moving Day!!

Well, May is here! Which means the showers are gone, the flowers are here, and moving day has arrived...



We would like to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers as Harold begins basic training on May 7th and I move back to Boise for the summer. :( Hopefully it goes by quickly for both of us!


Hobbs :]

Today Harold and I took a stroll in old town Pocatello. A really beautiful day for a walk! :) Anyway, after wandering around aimlessly for a little while, we made our way down Garfield Street where we soon met our newest little family member: Hobbs (he once was lost, but now he is found!)

Hobbs is our new orange kitty with just as much A.D.D. as Harley. (A match made in heaven! :D)
Hopefully Hobbs will be able to keep up with his big sister! :P

Harley's Beginning


Way back when Harley was Hank... :P















Once upon a time, Harold and I went to Wal-Mart. We went in for paper plates and left with Harley...and puppy chow...and a collar...and a bunch of chew toys... :)

Harold asked for the boy...the biggest, fattest, little chunk snuggling at the very bottom of the box...smothered by all of "his" 8 sisters. 1 boy & 8 girls...supposedly. We chose Hank for the puppies name. It took almost and entire month for us to realize that our little boy dog was really a girl dog with a gigantic belly button...talk about embarrassing! :P

At first we argued a little over whether it was a boy or a girl. So we chose to call her Tank until we decided (because from the time she was tiny she LOVED tackling anything...or at least attempting to)

When I finally convinced Harold that "he" was a "she",
we finally chose Harley as her name. :)



Ok, so here are some MORE wedding photos. :)
I'm sure most of the posts we will have on here will be wedding related.



Me & Tag



He's definitely a ladies man! :P

Thanks Kim!!

Just a few more photos to add! :)






















The table was leaning just a little... & ...I got him first, just so you know. ;)


:P See!!



The Gentlemen. :)

There are a bunch more...so I'll be posting a few more later on. Sorta taking some time to sift through the dozens of photos from family and friends and picking our favorites to post. :) If you have some to add, please e-mail them to me or Harold!
Thanks!! :)

Our Wedding!!





Harold and I were married on April 4, 2009 at my parents' home in Nampa. Perfect weather and amazing company made it an incredible evening!! Here are a few photos I have snagged from a few of the albums made by guests. Our actual photos will be up hopefully by the end of April. :) Enjoy!


My sunny Bridesmaids :) Thank you ladies!!
You made my wedding 8 times more beautiful!!

Bridesmaids & Jr. Bridesmaids
I am so blessed by each of you!!
(Aren't they gorgeous!?)

All of my Leading Ladies. :)

The Handsome Men...& Me. :)

My Handsome Hubby

The Entourage :D

Like I said, we have plenty more photos to share...just not quite yet. :) They will be here soon!!

Harley :)




Of course our new blog just wouldn't be complete without Harley... :) She is our 6 month old Corgi, full of energy, curiousity, and lots and lots of trouble. She has turned out to be a great addition to our new little family. She is our baby, and after a little vacation in Boise, my parents have adopted her as their little grandpuppy. :) Definitely spoiled...
Harley likes to sleep in small places...This time she fell asleep with her head squished underneath Harold's office chair. :P
We were folding laundry...and Harley wouldn't leave it alone!
So she got shelved until we were finished.



This video captures Harley's true feelings towards her sweater...

I could go on and on, and I'm sure Harley will appear plenty of times in the future...But for now, at least you've been introduced. :)

A New Beginning! :)


Well, neither Harold or I have ever really tried out this blogging thing, but seeing as we will soon be very far away from all of our friends and family, we decided that this might be a good way to keep in touch! We promise to keep this updated as often as possible!
