Loving it!

I don't have much to report so thats why the blog has been neglected...But I can say that we are definitely enjoying the view from our windows! (See Below)...

and that we are super excited for thanksgiving in poulsbo and then christmas soon to follow! Yay for the holidays!

Worn Out

We have been having so much fun the last few weeks with the start of NIC Basketball. Harley loves to go to any sporting event so its great that we stay so busy. Harley is absolutely in love with the Cardinal at NIC, not just the mascot but any picture of the cardinal that she can find she has to point it out and at the game last night the Cardinal came and sat by her which she had been trying to get it to do all evening long. She loved it! Last week was a really busy one for us, we had basketball late one evening, grocery store trips, a football game and then a volleyball game that went right through naptime. The result is what you will witness in the video at the end.

'Til next time, The Shavers.

Halloween

We had a really fun and laid back Halloween this year. We first got together with the fam and carved pumpkins...

(More Harley and Daddy...)

After we got done carving our pumpkins we had a little relaxing time and ate these yummy Halloween cheesecakes that I made for everyone and watched some funny ones...

Then on Friday we made our delicious Pineapple Chili and made our way to the ward Chili cookoff and Trunk or Treat. Harley was a witch this year thanks to Auntie Kami for letting us borrow the costume! We had such a great time and actually placed third for our chili and won a prize :)

And lastly we went to Grandma and Grandpa's on Halloween for some delicious pizza and some trick or treating. We had such a fun time and were so proud of what a big girl Harley is turning into.

We made the mistake of trying to take our family picture at the end of the extravaganza and she did NOT want to wear her hat anymore so she was a bit sad. But overall we really had a great holiday and are excited for Thanksgiving to come!

Love the Shavers :)

Crazy

I don't really have a reason for posting this picture, other than being told I don't post enough. Don't mind our camping hair and attire, but I feel this picture adaquately shows just how crazy our miss Harley really is. I don't have any idea where she gets it......

Like Daddy

Because Albert is doing school online, he is constantly sitting at the table reading a book or typing on his computer. The past few days when Harley is in her room playing this is what I find her doing. Sitting at her "desk" being just like daddy, its so cute and she will do it for a long time. She loves doing things just like we do and is such a goof, we love her so much!

Love you Harley!

This ain't my first ro-day-o (sound it out people)

We had so much fun at the fair this year. We spent alot of time with Grandmother, and went to the motocross and the rodeo. The rodeo is something I look forward to all year long and it never fails me. Harley enjoyed it alot this year and so that made it alot of fun as well. I was able to get my ever faithful italian sausage and of course it was amazing.

Harley loved petting the horses...

We got her cowboy hat at the fair and now she wears it at home, what a goof...

Can't wait for the fair again next year!

Love the Shaver's!

Too old? I think not!

It may be almost October but posts from the end of August surely are not too old. Regardless, here they are. We didn't get to spend much time on the boat this year because our schedules didn't mesh very well but we did manage to get in one beautiful day right at the end of August and thank goodness too because it was one of the last good boat days. Harley helped her Daddy drive around for a bit and then we parked and blew up the big floatie thing and just lounged it was great! It really wore us out (see picture Harley conked in car)....

We also spent alot of time with Grandma Davis at Shock games this year and we had so much fun!! Harley especially loved being there and still to this day sings we will we will shock you with her shock flag. We got to be at the arena cup and we won which was great! They threw out tons and tons of confetti at the end and we went down on the field for Tim to get some signatures on his Arena Cup football, and Harley loved it down there!

And lastly we have changed our little munchkins name to Covelli...just for an update!
Love the Shavers

Cars, Weddings, Babies

Our family has had alot going on lately...so I'm just going to try to combine everything in one post because I'm lazy!

We traded in the motorcycle and got this wonder, we love it and it fits our family perfectly right now and should for the next couple of years. And of course I love it because it is bright yellow.

We also moved back to Post Falls from Spokane. We moved into one of the sides of Cassie and Steven's duplex which we are totally loving. I love not having to drive 30 minutes each way every day. I don't have any pics but I will try to post some eventually (don't get your hopes up).

At the beginning of August my sister in law Sundaelee got married and so we traveled over to Seattle for that and had such a great time. It was so wonderful to be able to go into the temple with our family and also to get to spend some time with everyone from over that way.

While we were over there our neice Amelia took Harley's parachute dress pictures which turned out so freakin cute (at least I love them)! So here are a few and I had so much trouble picking which ones to put on here...

Lastly I went to the doctor this week and we found out that we are going to be bringing home a little brother for Harley around December 20th. We are very excited and a little scared because I have no boy stuff! Thank you to Cassie and Candy tho for lending me some baby boy clothes though! His name will be Ezekiel Davis Shaver nickname Zeke.

So there's our update!

Behind

I know I am really behind in blogging, but I feel like I am really behind in a lot of things in my life as well. This last month we had to stay in a hotel due to some repairs that had to be done in our apartment. Hence me being behind in everything, cleaning, cooking (haven't cooked in a month), blogging, quilting, and many many more things. But I guess it's never too late to try to catch up right?

Other than me feeling behind, our little family is just chuggin along. Harley is getting so big, and just growing up so fast. Lately she loves puffy cheetos, dancing, being outside, and doing whatever the adults are doing. We have so much fun with her and are really excited to see what kind of personality this new baby will have.

These first pictures are of us at PF Changs, because of the damage in our apartment our insurance paid for us to stay in the hotel and paid for a certain amount of food so we took advantage of this and went to my favorite place! It was so delicious and Harley loved it too :)

Here is a video of Harley and Gma helping us move into our temporary home...






Loving bathtime as always...






One of Harley's new things to do is brush her hair. She will do it with anything she finds, including her toothbrush. She also uses the little silver circle thing in the bathtub as a mirror which is hilarious. So here is a video of her brushing her hair, and just a cute one (we think its cute) of her after bathtime.




Sorry that last video was so jumpy, hope it didn't make you sick!




Hopefully I will be back to post more soon, and I won't be so delinquent!

Great Grandma Betty

At our family reunion this past August, Alberts Grandmother (on his Mother's side) gave us a pair of shoes from Italy for Harley. They didn't fit her until about a week ago, and I just love them! I had to put some pictures up here so that Grandma can see that she wears them now!

Thank you Great Grandma Betty! We Love Them!

The Sick Day

Today Harley and I are home sick from church.

...

We are fully equipped to cope well with....

...

A blanket (Daddy's of course), a cup of milk, teddy, and horsey...

...

of course Little Einsteins, the cure all.......

...

and incredibly, a smile....she is much more brave than I.

I of course will not be gracing you with a picture of myself, I look like death, or at least thats how I feel.

Well, its off to put the coughing, sneezing, snotting, teething, and of course smiling little monster in her bed.

Then this grumpy pregnant lady will collapse into the bed....I'll let you know when I come back to life.....maybe

Could I be anymore delinquent?

Wow it has really been too long since I have posted something new. There has been alot going on in our lives lately, let me give you a brief update:

~Some of Albert's fam came to visit for a little while, which was so great

~Albert lost his full time job, however he just started a new one this week thank goodness!

~We went for a weekend to Poulsbo which was super fun

~I have started watching the Javier kids full time

So I guess it wasn't as much as I thought, but it feels like alot.

Here are some pictures of a fun day at the park and a few of Harley opening some birthday presents from her Shaver fam...

We are just having so much fun with Harley. She is so active and crazy all of the time, and thinks that she is so hilarious. She loves watching Little Einsteins, and Auntie Abby and Maile girls, she LOVES the toy that you gave her with the hammer. I am sure she is just going to be the greatest big sister to the little baby that will be here in December :)

Thats all for now, and hopefully I will start being more consistant again!
