Longing...

I've been missing these lately...shelves, and shoes.

Shelves because they looked so cool, and shoes because 95% of my shoes are in the storage unit. Sadness.

So just enjoy the view of them with me.......ahhhhhhhh

The North Pole

On Monday for Family Home Evening, Grandmother got us all tickets to the North Pole. The North Pole in Coeur d' Alene that is. Daddy had to work but Harley and I got all bundled up and rode with the Daines down to the resort where we met up with the rest of the fam.

Here we are waiting for the boat, we sang Christmas songs and froze to death with each other...

There were lots of pretty lights and it was so much fun to watch out the window...

I attempted to take a picture of Harley and I together but to no avail. The following pictures are all of the attempts....

Finally Auntie Candy came to my rescue and took one for me...the fact that she smiled was a miracle, she NEVER smiles for the camera!

Harley enjoyed her first candy cane...

Harley also got to hear her name read off of the nice list by Santa while we were at the north pole...even though uncle tim claims she is on the naughty list ;)
All in all it was a great night, and we had tons of fun...thanks Grandmother!!!

Fall

I realized on the last day of our Thanksgiving visit to Poulsbo that I took NO pictures! What a crazy person! We had a great time there and enjoyed the time with our family. Thanksgiving dinner was fantastic of course, who would expect anything less from those Shavers! Also in catch up, Harley is rapidly becoming a toddler, AT 8 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!! This isn't working for me. She has teeth, is crawling, and is pulling herself up on things, and I am sure will be walking soon. We love her and are so excited for this new stage of growing up for our little girly! This picture is of her being such a big girl sitting in the cart at the store.

And this is my tribute to it being fall and so chilly outside that I just want to curl up in a blanket :)

Happy Holidays!

Wordless Wednesday

I spy

I know I already blogged today, but I just wanted to play a little game of I Spy.....

Can anyone spot something that seems a little out of place?

Thats right something brown, and terdish, kind of like poop......

Thats right you guessed it a big fat poop. Cooper was having some tub tub time and I came in to get him out and to clean up the toys and discovered that there was something other than toys in there with him. How horrifying for us, but luckily Albert saved the day and cleaned it all up. What a great husband, and uncle :)

Love you Coop :)

Trick or Treat!!!

This year was Harley's first halloween, and it was very low-key which was perfect. We made mac and cheese, visited Paul Mitchell the School, went to Grandmothers, and then home to play scene it with the "adults". Thank you Auntie Candy for the Mermaid costume!!! All in all it was a fun day, and Harley loved being with her cousins and holding her own pumpkin full of treats :)

Happy Halloween (late)!!!

Air Baby

Thanks to Auntie Cassie, Harley got to be a baby acrobat on Auntie Katie's air matress.......she had lots of fun, here are some pictures for you to enjoy :) Thanks for the pictures Auntie Candy!

Wordless Wednesday

A Great Example

Last night my brother-in-law Naki passed away. It happened suddenly and quickly, and it was a huge shock. He was a great example of selfless love and of being a strong and faithful priesthood holder. There is so much more that could be said about what a wonderful father, husband, and man that he was, but at the moment I don't have enough words. We will miss you.

Mmm mmm good

Baby food

Harley's mouth, face, hair, hands, clothes, bumbo, Mommy, and Daddy.

She can not get it in quickly enough, and it is very comical to watch. She very much enjoys feeding herself, and the last few pictures are the result of her feeding herself a teething cookie :)

This is "The Face" and she makes it ALL the time lately it is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!

Ok here is a video of her making "The Face" its hilarious!

Kisses and Hugs, The Shavers

Nails

Here's a shout out to my nails, Oh how I miss you :(

We will meet again one day :)

Anyone?

This is what I feel like doing today, so that I don't have to deal with my runny sneezy nose. I have a feeling that I may end up doing exactly that if I sit down anywhere for an extended period of time......

......that being said........there is a baby up for grabs today. On sale now, FREE!!!! Any takers???? ANYONE???? Oh well. Lucky for me she is such a good baby I probably can take a nap today :)

I just had to put this picture on here as a shout out to our Shaver side....WE MISS YOU!!!!

Love, The Idaho Shavers

Heart-wrenching

We have been blessed the past few days with a sicky little baby. Her eyes and nose have been constantly leaking, and she is pitiful to look at. All day yesterday we just wanted to cry everytime we looked at her, and I thought I would show you what we were subjected to...

Isn't it just heart wrenching?


It makes Daddy really sad too... see...
