Hardy Family Pictures

Its been a long while since I've posted anything on here! 

So I thought I'd share our Hardy family pictures.

Weekend Update x2

The weekend of the the 9th I traveled to Utah to meet all the Designer Blogs girls! Friday afternoon Lara and I hit the road. It was so great to see her, catch up on life and reminisce about the good ol' days! That night we arrived at Erin's house and had some fun girl time. Saturday, Amy and her super duper cute baby, Addi joined us for a day of bid-NASS!

Lauren, Lara, Erin and Amy

We worked all day on new design skills and technique, talked about the future for Designer Blogs, ate yummy food and just had fun getting to know each other in person! I love these girls and I'm so glad to have finally met them. Big things are coming to DB, so keep an eye on the bloggity blog.
Saturday night we stayed with Lara's sister in law, Lindsay, who I lived next door to at college in Reno! It was awesome to see her again and meet her beautiful family. Thanks for a great weekend girls, I can't wait to get together again!!

This weekend was full of fun too! We spent Saturday morning out at Meadow Valley wash with Brian and Jill and Josh Jensen (missed you Wendy). We roasted hot dogs and the kids played and played. I did take the camera, but for some reason I never got it out of the truck.. hmmm... I guess we'll just have to go out again!

Saturday afternoon my mom, sister Heather and I threw a baby shower for my sister Ashley. Ashley got soooooo spoiled with lots of great stuff for her little man.

Jess I added this picture just for you!! Love ya. ;)

Some of Ashley's friends playing a game.

Me at 25 weeks -- Ashley at 35 weeks!

After the party my brother Justin and Dad were just coming home from deer hunting and we snapped this silly pic.

Quick kid update:
Estefan is doing well in school and loving boy scouts.
Allie is continuing to learn her ABC's at preschool, then has music and dance class.
Mark loves to play in the dirt and help Papa Stan on the tractor.
Baby is growing and moving like crazy.

And that's all for now.. October is flying right on by! I'm ready to bust out the Christmas movies and sweaters. How about you?!

{Lauren Loves} Autumn Excitment

I bought the kids these Halloween pajamas back in September and ever since then they asked everyday,

"When is it Halloween Mom?" or "Is it Halloween today?"

Soooooo I made this Halloween countdown!

I was inspired by this super cute blog!

I got the magnet board from Roberts craft store and I made the pieces using Megan Turnidge's kit, Cooky Spooky.

Hurry and go buy it!! You only get the Cooky Spooky Treats add on FREE til 10/09!!

Now the kids now exactly how many days til Halloween!!

Maybe another reason they are excited for Halloween is because we picked our pumpkins!
Don't you just love our cute little pumpkin family?!
I can't wait to carve crazy faces in them!

I hope the pumpkins last long enough to carve though...
this little devil keeps pushing them off the porch.
Don't let his smile fool you! He's a little mischief maker!

I always get excited for Halloween when the pomegranates start ripening. That's one of the sure signs I know its fall. We'll be making lots jam and salads with these babies!!

This year we have another reason to be excited for fall...
getting ready for Ashley and Jayson wedding!

Dustin and I went up to Cedar Mountain yesterday and took their engagement pictures. It was lots of fun but it was freezing!! This is the first one I've edited but I'm sure we'll post more on Dustin's photography blog soon!

What are you excited for this fall?
