Happy Early Birthday to me!


So we all dream of those moments, ones that you always see in movies where people get amazing surprises. Where they have absolutely no idea what was going on. Well today one of those moments happened to me. It's kind of a long story, but I'll give the short version. Carl and I have been toying with the idea of a new car. It never really went anywhere because I was being stubborn about what I would like to have. So we went to breakfast this morning and then to the farmers market in town. We were pulling on to our road and I could see that there was someone in our driveway, but I didn't know who until we got a little closer and I saw the GMC logo on the front of the car and that is was pearly white. I could have died. I couldn't believe it.... it was my dream car and it was in our driveway. So we pulled up to the house and Carl started singing Happy Birthday to me. I couldn't believe it. I was paralyzed in my seat. I was afraid that I was dreaming and any moment I was going to wake up and the car would disappear. As I open the garage door I see that my lovely pearly white mom car is still there. I'm so excited, I just can't handle it. So anyways I'm a very lucky girl, and boy did Carl surprise me. I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to beat this in surprising him.

Pool Party

Bonners Ferry sure is the place to be if you want a girl. In total there are 6 girls all about 2 1/2 months apart from each other all in our ward, Crazy. It's safe to say that Tory has great friends and cousins to grow up with. We were invited for a play date with Hailey(top left) and the Hartman Girls, Hana and Hallie. We're missing cousins Molly and Makenna on this particular day. It was so cute to see all the girls in this little swimming pool. They had so much fun splashing each other. I'm so grateful for days like this and great friend to spend time together with.

Girls weekend


So back in July, the weekend of the 25th to be exact we had the opportunity to go stay at the cabin with Chrysta. For anyone who knows me, they'll know that the cabin to me is a little bit of heaven. I have so many great memories that were made there, I just love being there. It was so wonderful to just have some girl time with Chrysta. It was also Tory's first time in the lake too. She was a little hesitant at first but, she sure warmed up to being in the water. These are a few pictures from the weekend.
