Fun, Games, and a Blessing too!

Ollo!!!! (Anyone?),

We have been gloriously busy and loving it. Yes I am behind on blogging but isn't that always the case?

Here is Timmy accepting a donation from NIC to the Special Olympics at the halftime of an NIC bball game...

We were so blessed to be able to have all of Albert's family come for Covelli's baby blessing. We had such a blast and are sad that it had to be such a short trip. Here are some pictures of their time here...

I finally finished the quilt that I started making Harley right after she was born, it only took me a year and a half! In my defense I had to acquire and borrow some of the equipment I needed so that is the excuse I will use as to why it took so long! Here is little snapshot of it, it is actually quite large!

We were lucky enough to be invited to a birthday party at skate plaza a few weeks ago, so Harley got to go skating for the first time! She had such a blast and so did we, she was quite coordinated, I can't say the same for myself!

Lastly a few recent pictures of our little munchkins. We are just having so much fun with them. Harley is getting so big and will be two in april which I just can't believe. Covelli is just a happy boy and such a tank!

Love ya later! The Shavers

Motivation

My motivation for blogging has been lacking as of late. The good news is that I seem to have mustered up some for this catch up blog. It will involve as far back as Covelli's birth and up to now, so brace yourself it might take awhile.

First I have a few pictures from bubba's first few days....

(Spending some time with Auntie Ginny)

(...and with Auntie Candy and GMA Davis)

(Meeting his big sister)

(Kisses)

(Working some business angles with Gma, whilst taking a nap...He's a multi-tasker)

(Bubba walking...he's really advanced haha)

Now on to the Christmas festivities!! We had so much fun this year and were so blessed to be around so much family! There were cruises to the North Pole, fun treats and food, and of course Christmas Jammies!

And I thought I would throw in a few pictures from a few days ago since Covelli has already changed so much!

(After his first haircut...thanks Auntie Candy)

(and here is the crazy pants of the family...I have no idea where she gets it)

Merry late Christmas and Happy late New Year!!!!

Love the Shavers

Sneak Peek

I know that I am really behind on keeping things updated here on this blog but this time I have an excuse, I can't find my camera cord so I can't put any pictures on my computer! So here is a little preview to hold you over until I can get some real juicy stuff on here ;)

These pictures are courtesy of a sweet gentleman at the NIC games who takes pictures of the team, he emails these to mom after every game.

Love the Shavers!

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...

(Harley and Daddy Carving our Pumpkin)

(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...

(Cheesecake treats)

(Harley chillin' with uncle Steve watching 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 :)

(Harley and Daddy enjoying the Chili)

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 :)
