My sweet Fred

"A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself."
— Josh Billings

On Tuesday our sweet puppy passed away. I know he is technically not a puppy, but that was the reason he got the name. So even when he was an old puppy dog, he would still feel young at heart. And I believe he did.

Freddy, you will be missed and my heart breaks when I think about being at home and you not there. Thank you for being such a love and being a part of our family. I hope you are running and howling like you use to. xoxo

Im trying out my green thumb

Lets see if I have the Lindsay family gene and know how to garden. I have never started a garden completely from scratch...not so sure how happy I am with how the front is turning out but I will post more pictures when it actually starts to grow.

I did have a very helpful supervisor
All of you who garden, any suggestions? What grows well in utah? What flowers all summer long? I need help people!!!!

Thanksgiving Point

We had a fabulous family girls day at Thanksgiving points tulip festival. It was so fun being all together, it feels like its been months. Holly made a yummy picnic that we ate first, then strolled through the beautiful gardens.

Lucas was a great sport for being the only boy. But such a handsome one
Meg and Me...I just love that she is finally looking pregnant, I can only hope I am as lucky as her when the time comes

Lola loved the fish, she has grown up so much and has the cutest spunky personality...but watch out, she gives some dirty looks!

So happy Lola and Kara made it. Just a great day with some beautiful women I am lucky enough to be related to

We couldn't have asked for a better day. The sun was out and the tulips were gorgeous. Just wish grandma had been feeling better, she would've loved it

Finally looking prego

I finally got some pictures of my sister-in-law with her cute baby belly. She is 8 months almost and looks so tiny. Now if only we knew what gender the little duck is, I'd be even more excited. Kidding Meg...sorta

a little preview

I was busy painting all weekend, something I have NEVER done before. I even had to paint the ceiling. Well here is a preview of what I did. I was a complete slob but was well prepared, thanks to pep talks from Erik and Dad. Remember when I asked for everyones opinion on paint samples? Well I didn't take anyones advice (bust still love you all!). I am very happy with how it all turned out and can not wait to have it all cleaned up with furniture in it.
