4 years! Time flies...

August 9, 2008

Well it's true. This extremely cute boy and myself have been married for 4 years! Holy cow - it's crazy to think that it has been that long, but also that it has not been that long?! Confusing I know. The last four years have been so awesome - I have the perfect hubby for me! Love you so much Kyle! xoxo

Quick Trip

Kyle and I made a quick road trip to Idaho because we bought a new car and needed to have both of us to drive. One for the car we have and then one to drive the new car back. However, on the way there my two co-pilots were a little tired to say the least...this limited me to my jam sessions, which made for a long drive to Idaho.Thanks Kyle. Thanks Kruz. So much for an entertaining drive.

While we were there we got to sneek up to McCall for a few days and relax some. It was so nice to get to be with my family and enjoy one of my most favorite places and where I have so many wonderful memories. I love it in McCall.

My mom got a paddleboard. It was lots of fun to take out on the lake. Kruz even enjoyed it.

You cannot go to McCall and not hit up Ice Cream Alley. I don't know why but the ice cream tastes soooo good there and they are not stingy with their servings either! ;)

This little gem, Sawyer, of course had the attention of all of us all the time. She is so much fun. I just love her to pieces.

I love getting together with my sweet sisters, even if it is a quick trip! Love you guys!

Sawyer did not lack in not getting enough attention from any of us at all. She had us all captivated. All the time. How does she do it? Well, she for one has stole the hearts of many. We'll never be the same. :0)

Lately...

We had visitors....Carli and Kristen came and stayed with us for the weekend to get out of "happy valley" and to come and enjoy the sun for a minute. Of course Car's stay is never long enough...it was much nicer when she was here permanently!

I have been working on this puzzle....let's just say its not that easy ;)

Kruz has been thoroughly enjoying the evenings outside with Kyle and I...he is always great company and always on the look out ya know...for any intruders, especially those police officers in back.

SOOOOO excited to watch the Olympics...I love to watch them. It's always so much fun to follow all of the different sports, athletes, and of course the medal count for TEAM USA!!

Tutu for Sawyer

Sawyer is rockin the lil tutu that I made for her! She of course looks fabulous ;) I just love her to pieces and can hardly believe she is nearly 5 months old!!! Holy cow!
Sawyer you be looking "tutulicious" and Auntie Ky loves you bunches and bunches!!!
Seriously she is the happiest baby - always smiling or giggling at her mama!! She already has hailey's personality to a T!!! Haha love it!!

Happy 4th!!!

Perfect day with my boys. Beautiful day outside. Day off from work.

Handkerchief Curtains!

So I will be honest from the get-go, I am like a little old lady at heart and love old, vintage things. I love to roam in antique stores and secondhand stores for hours and just "look" and "touch" and enjoy the story that these items can not tell.

Onto one of my wild projects, since I can't sew myself...I recruited a handy woman :) Natalie was my "mentor" in completing this project....she was of course fabulous! THANK YOU AGAIN NAT!!

Me "trying" to sew

Yep! That is right I did it! I sewed all of them except one square, in which I was "taught" how to sew it on by Natalie. I LOVE LOVE how they turned out! Seriously. I LOVE them! This is just one side though. I did two panels. All the handkerchief squares are unique in their own style and color.

Now on to hang them and hope that my husband likes them....

weekend getaway to ID

I got to make a quick trip to ID and I am so glad I did because it was SOOO much fun even though it was literally for like only 30 hours that I was there...sooo worth it though! I flew into Boise really late Friday night and went and stayed at my parents' place in Boise with my Mom and Sisters and Sawyer! Miss Field was up there visiting with my sisters and I am so glad she was still there when I got there so I could see her and catch up with her for a bit too! It had been way too long since I had seen her! It was so much fun to just hang with just us girls - I miss my family lots, wish we lived closer....anyways, that next Saturday morning, our cousin Whitney was getting married and I am glad it worked out where we got to be there to go to the wedding and get to see lots of family!

Whitney and Brad - Congrats! (it was totally windy and started to rain when we got there...however it was so pretty still) Whit looked so beautiful!

LOVE LOVE my sisters!!

Fun after the wedding with some family - Sawyer got lots of love from everyone! She and Palmer got some play time in too after their naps ;) I got lots of love from sweet little Leighton - I just love her to pieces! Parker loved holding Sawyer - he is getting in lots of practice for when he will be an uncle here super soon! :0) Soy of course gets lots of love from our Ginners too!

After we left the wedding/reception Hailey and I quickly swung over to one of my girlfriends house - Sharis! We got to catch up for a bit and play with lil Miss Bentley! She was so stinkin hilarious and wanted to love on Sawyer literally every second! Love you guys! :)

That is one thing Sawyer does not lack of....lots of love from us! We love you Sawyer!! xoxo

Later Saturday we headed back to GF and got to see Ty and then we got to see Pete and Andrea and the kiddos too!

This view in the mornings never do get old....I am so lucky to have grown up where I did. Such a beautiful place - so many wonderful memories!

It was also the first time being back home since Papa had passed away. This time being there wasn't the same without him around. I miss him so much and think of him so often. Of course, we stopped in to have a chat with him, Riley, and Shelby before we got on the long trip ahead of us...that was one thing Papa loved was going for nice rides. Miss you and love you all - thank you for holding such a special place in my heart. I will love you forever.

I rode with Hailey, Sawyer, and Pumpkin on the first stretch to Provo, since Carli had driven up seperately and wasn't go the rest of the way to STG or Cali. Lets just say we did not just go from Point A to point B. :) LOTS OF FUN! Thank you for the fun little trip familia!! LOVE YOU ALL!
