Harper was blessed by her daddy on January 2, 2011.
She looked gorgeous in her beautiful white dress.
All of the men in the blessing circle:
All of our family in attendance:
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it. It was such a special day!
Next time you’re wondering what to do on a cold winter morning…
blast a little michael buble and take your sweet little baby dancin’ in the kitchen.
And always end with a dip and a kiss. It makes mommies and babies very happy!
Harper and I went out for some fresh air and a walk a couple weeks ago and took a few pictures.

Bottom center: a dead cow…I’m always intrigued by dead cows and love to take pics of them for some strange reason.
Bottom right: My cowboy on his well stacked load.
Harper loves to carry on conversations with us these days. And we think it’s pretty darn adorable!
Over the last week we’ve been doing some sleep training. We thought it was time that she learned to fall asleep in her bed and not need to be rocked to sleep. It has gotten progressively better, but last night {tues. jan. 19} rocked!
We put her to bed at 9:30pm. She was wide awake when we put her down but there were no tears. {She’s been crying anywhere from 15 min to 1 hr until she’d fall asleep}. She woke up at about 5:30am to eat and went back down shortly after 6am. At 9:40am, I thought I heard her make a noise, so I went in to check on her. She was wide awake when I walked in and she greeted me with the BIGGEST smile.
Now, that is what I’m talking about. I love my baby girl!!
My friend Lindsey and her family came to visit us during the holidays and I begged her to take a few family pictures for us with her new camera. She did such an amazing job. Here are some of our favorites:
The Mussons
The Bedkes
{Would you believe me if I told you these pictures were taken in Ry’s parents backyard? LOVE it!}
Mommy & Harper:
Just Harper:
Thanks Linds! We love them…and you!!!
Here is a picture summary of our holidays.
{Sorry for the collage overload lately. It’s just such an easy way too show lots of pictures}
Harper’s First Christmas:
Ringing in the New Year with AMAZING food, fun games and all of our family:
My parents came to visit us in Idaho for the holidays…mostly though to meet their first grandchild, obviously! It was so fun having them around. As you can see, they spoiled Harper like crazy!
A BIG thanks to the Bedkes for letting the Mussons crash their holidays. It was great to be able to have both of our families together under one roof!
We miss you and love you, Grandpa and Grandma! Come back soon!
She even has a tail. I don’t think cows come much cuter than this!
{Thanks for the very appropriate outfit Jeff & Kapri!}
