Fathers Day in Salmon

It has become a fun tradition the last few years, meeting Mom and Dad up in Salmon Idaho for a Father's Day car show. This year I made him purple cupcakes (to match his car). My preggo belly is also showing, which this would be the first picture I've put up of my belly.

Here's Dad getting ready for his class. You can see Chris in the back. He's wearing a matching shirt. Purple was the color of the weekend of course.

I rode with dad through the judging. I just got to sit in the car. Dad is out talking to the judges. He had to educate one on what a "duster" was. Not like I knew, but it was fun to hear Dad show up the judges. He won BEST MOPAR. I didn't have my camera, but mom had hers. I should try to get a picture from her.

Happy Early Father's Day! Slash Late Christmas

For memorial day weekend Chris and I met Steven and Jill up in the mountains. They brought the dirt bikes (and we brought the party!). Every year since I've known Chris, I've gotten him dirtbike gear for father's day. He's almost to where he has everything he could possibly need (minus the dirt bike). But he was wearing "hamby-down" jersey and pants. So this year he wanted to get some nice stuff. Which we did! And he even matches his sweet helmet he got last year for Father's day.

Happy Mango Mother's Day

Happy Mango Mother's Day started out great! Well first I went to the gym, any day that starts at the gym goes better. But then I got this awesome plant from "gramzy and grandad" who coined the phrase "Happy Mango Mother's Day" in their card. "Mango" comes from the fruit of the week the baby is. This week the baby is about the size of a mango. It was very sweet.

Chris then took me to one of my favorite places, the Nursery! Huge greenhouses filled with beautiful flowers. It takes me a long time to figure out which flowers to get. First we walk all the greenhouses without grabbing anything. Then we walk through them again, grabbing ones I think I want. Then we go back to one or two of them to get ones I decided I couldn't live without.... and repeat that last step a couple times.

I planted my new flowers in my beautiful pots. I also got a lot of dirt on my face, that my husband did not point our before taking this picture...

Not very many people have a cattle branding iron with their last initial on it. We do. And it rocks.

Apparently my color this year is "peachy-pink". We got some pretty blue-violet flowers to offset some of the pink. But other than that, all the flowers I chose were "peachy-pink".
