Love Life!

Today I woke really excited about life. I looked out the window and the sun was out and there was no rain. We could accually get out of the house and work on our yard today!!! Yeah!!! I jumped out of bed and said I want to make Hootnanny's for breakfast. We rarely have these(special occations only). Life really couldn't be much better right now. I love my hubby soo much, we love Tate soooo much and don't know how we went sooo many years without him. We have a beautiful house with great neighbors and friends. We are putting in our yard finally which we LOVE being outside and can't wait for cook outs in our pit and BBQ's on some lawn and a bigger patio (not our tiny little slab patio and our dirt). We have been so blessed to be around our families and friends who we love so very much. I know that this sounds really cheezy but it is so true. LIFE IS GREAT!

Memorial Weekend!

The Weekend started with a lot of landscaping in our yard. We had rented a bobcat to spread out our soil and it took us most of the day to get the yard all level. Aaron did leveling for both of our neighbors on both sides of us also. I painted
the picnic table red hot and did some other home projects. I tried to sweep and rake as much as possible to make me look busy!! Tate took a couple good naps and other wise watched. What a sweet little boy!

Sunday we went to the cemetary and decorated some graves. We enjoyed the company of Mom and Dad, Reid, Cristi and little Lydia. Lydia and Tate enjoyed playing with each other most of the day while the adults visited. Tate is soooo close to crawling. I would probably bet this week if not sooner. He also played on grandma's tramp for the first time and really enjoyed it!

Newest Project!

Michele this is the project that I made, it's great for the front door. I saw the picture of this in a JOANNE'S flier and I didn't want to pay their prices, so I went to Walmart and picked up the flowers and found a wood wreath and it turned out the same. (if not better- hee hee) Hope you and Lora enjoy this project. LOVE YA

Our New home!

To all of you out there that have been asking about my home and how I have decorated it- this is for you. We have lived in this home for just over a year and we are really enjoying it. I have been going crazy at Tai Pan Trading and now the new store in Logan, Hobby Lobby. I just can't go in a decorating store without coming out with something fun. I still would like to change up a few things- but it takes time and $$$$$.

Check out my Slide Show!

Holladay Family Practice

This is a slide show that I made for all the great friends at HFP. I miss you all so much and I hope that you are doing well. I worked at HFP a couple of years ago when we lived in SLC. These pictures are from when I worked there, and visited there. They threw me a baby shower and just as of a few weeks ago I went to visit them and I brought the Bee cake. My nickname was Bummble Bee there!!

Memories of good ol' "Holladay Family Practice"

MOMMY LOVES BABY TATE SO MUCH!

Silly times at the McClellan's house hold.

Tate loves to belly laugh.

Tate 8mo.

Hand- Foot- and Mouth

Well Tate has had yet another adventure in his short life. He got hand, foot and mouth a month or so ago. This was probably the hardest thing that I have ever gone through in all of my life. Aaron I think would think the same thing. Tate got really sick and fevered really bad. This was ten times harder than when he got RSV. We could probably handle the fever but he was in sooo much pain with blisters all over his body but mainly on his hands, feet and down the throat and in his mouth. He wouldn't eat or drink...he just cried for days. We felt so helpless and cried a lot ourselves. (In this picture he is feeling much better.)

Fun times with Cousin Merrick

Tate loves hanging out with his cousin Merrick McClellan. We all went on a bike ride down to Willow Park to the play ground. Tate loved swinging on the swings and loves the outdoors already.

Tyson and Tate

Tyson is Aaron's step brother. Tyson went to Florida last Sept. for the "Make a Wish Foundation" - the same time Tate was born. Tyson was able to meet with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his favorite-and sit on the front row of a game. He had a great time and has a lot of neat stuff to show for it. Tyson was diagnosed with cancer a couple of years ago and has faught this cancer to the best of his ability. He has proved the doctors wrong sooo many times. This time the cancer is winning and time is to tell. We look up to Tyson so much and want to tell him to keep fighting and 'never give up' (his sloggan). We LOVE you Tyson and we pray for you daily.

"Hottie Sawyer" from LOST!

Yes!!! You are right. This is Sawyer from the hit series LOST. Back in 2006 Aaron and I went with our great friends Ryan and Cheri to Oahu, Hawaii. While waiting in our rent-a-car waiting for the boys to find a good beach to boogie board on. Cheri my friend started to freak out and hit my knee, yelling "Holy cow, is that Sawyer?" I looked up and said "YES"...... and ripped open and the door of the car and ran around to meet our favorite actor Josh Holloway. By this time he was in his sports car. (you can see it in the back ground) I started waving at the windshield of his car. He cracked his tinted windows worrily. I said "are you Sawyer?" and he said in his twangy voice "yes I am!" I was like a little teenage girl -freaking out and asked if we could have a picture with him. He was very sweet and kind and said yes. He talked with us for a minute, he said that he loved Utah and had been there just the week before snow skiing in Park City. Because he was so kind to us, we love him and the show even more. [Thurs. night on ABC at 9:00pm] Thanks Sawyer for getting a picture with a couple of scary looking, no make up on, fans!!!
