The Mccall Cabin With My Fam!

We like to take a snowmobiling trip between Christmas and New Years. Last year is was in Island Park and this year was McCall Idaho. Mom Dad, Dy, Les, Em, Kate, Kass, Jay, Cohl, Pj, Wy, Me and Nate all met in Boise and drove up.. the weather was awful on the way up but we all made it there safe and sound.. we had wakie talkies to talk back and forth so that was pretty fun. The cabin was awesome! We brought up our sled, Jason bought a new one, and Dyl and my parents and Kass and I all rented. We had so much fun we hung out, went sledding, watched some movie.. ate a ton and the food was fantastic! I miss my family so bad and love it whenever we get a chance to be together!!

CHRISTMAS 2008

Maggie and her Dad

Maggie and her Ladys

Nate and Issac

Christmas at our house was a blast! On Christmas Eve we had the Harward Fam over for a big feast, we had crab legs, steaks, yams, rolls, cookie salad, augratin potatoes, and who knows what else! it was a tradition that we had in the Pond family that I have pushed to the Harward family.. it makes it feel like Christmas to me and no one from the Harward famliy complains so I guess it will work for both! Nate and I woke up bright and early Christmas morning and opened presents, we had a great first Christmas! Some of our Christmas highlights were.. a new truck, a diamond band, new laptop for Nate to go to school.. Oh and Maggie got .. a new collar, and a ladybug blanket that she sleeps with every night! After we had our Christmas we went to the Harwards to open more presents and have breakfast.

Award Banquet.. Moms Going to Kill all of us!!

My Mom and Dad loves their horses.. sometimes more then their kids and that was the case at the NRHA awards banquet!!! ha ha jk mom... My mom did awesome this year showing her horse, so good in fact that at the year end awards she won a Saddle (which for those of you that don't know is pretty dang good!) Well we all wanted to surprise her and not tell her that we were coming so we got my dad in on it he got us the tickets (which I still haven't paid for.. sorry dad!!) and we drove up Ogden Canyon to the Timberlodge restaurant. Jason and Kassy rode with Nate and I and that was so funny we laughed the whole way up about Nate's memories about Ogden!! ha ha Anyway then Kolbi and Ryan met us up there. The thing is before the banquet I think my mom told me that she was getting an award at least 10 times.. "you know I have that thing on Saturday I am getting a saddle" I would just say oh ya that's cool I think Nate and I are going to a movie with Kass and Jay... But little did she know we were all going to be there! But it was pretty obvious when we got there. They were sitting on a table by themselves and Dad had saved all the chairs! But it was still a surprise! They started with a raffle, which by the way we didn't win, then went on to dinner then the awards.. We were laughing and by far the loudest table there! My mom was in the Rockstar Mode and was getting a little annoyed with us but what can you expect with all of us together! It was great though 3 hours later she got her saddle and loved every minute of it! My mom and Dad love the horses and it was great to see them succeed in what they love to do!! It was also fun to be with my sisters and their husbands we have so much fun together and laugh so hard our stomachs hurt!!! Little inside joke...Where is my buckle, who has my buckle, Jason give me back my buckle!! ha ha ha ha so funny!!

Hey Honey Did You Come and Get Suzie???

Well Saturday morning (Nov 1) Nate gets up and goes to the gym with his little brother. Pretty typical Saturday. My family was in town because my mom had an award banquet for her horse show. I get up start to get ready when Nate calls me from his little brothers phone and asks hey honey did you come and get Suzie (which is Nate's white cars name) I of course said NO way I hate that car.. Why I ask well she is gone!! ha ha YEP THAT'S RIGHT OUR CAR GOT STOLEN!!!!!! Who in the heck gets their car stolen.. that would be my husband!! He is so funny he didt get mad he just kinda laughed! We didn't care much about the car being gone but we did care about the stuff in it! The main thing Nate was upset about was the 500.00 Cash in his wallet and his tools! The list is long so I will give you an idea.....

• Wallet with 500.00 cash, and about 300.00 in gift cards
• Dewalt tool kit (800.00)
• Camera bag with camera, chargers, and extra lens.(700.00)
• Phone
• Ipod
• 150 Cd's
• Nate's favorite pants and shoes
• Sunglasses
• And most importantly Nate's Subway card with a free sandwich on it!! Damn them!! (quoting Nate!)

We did get the car back on Monday night. They found it in the Sizzler parking lot, window down cigarettes in it, burger king, sunglasses and a lipstick case. However the good news is they did fill it up with gas.. With our money!!! The car was in good condition other then it smelled like Butt and I refuse to drive it! That's just creepy! But Detective Harward is on the case and he is determined to find these little SH#*$!!(again quoting Nate!) Hopefully we can get some of our money back from the insurance but from what we hear they are not very easy to deal with!!! Keep your fingers crossed!!!

Family Photos.. Thanks Murphys!!

Nate Murphy is fantastic with a camera. So we decided to swap and they could take pictures of us and we would take pictures of them. However we are not as good as them with a camera.. Sorry but they all turned out really good. Thanks Murphs!

Tank wasnt too happy about family pictures!

Halloween/Maggie's Brithday Party

Since we got Maggie 2 years ago we plan a Birthday/ Halloween Party. Maggie's birthday is on Oct 22. So it is perfect for the Halloween party season.This year we spiced it up and had everyone dress up and sang Karoke. It was a blast we love having everyone together at our house! We had such a fun night with everyone and thank you all for coming.

Paragliding

The Brothers!


Mags the princess, There were sticker bushes
and she wouldnt walk so Howie had to pick her up!


Nate!

Running off then mountain! I couldnt do it!

Just getting ready to fly!

I dont know how I married a guy that loves to jump out of planes, paraglide, cliff jump and whatever else there is that is insane, because all of that stuff scares the crap out of me.. but hey its a good balance.. I just stay on the ground praying that he will land safe and sound! And so far so good. We live at the point of the mountain so every morning when you wake up you can see all the paragliding flying around. So that put an idea in Nates head that that is what he wants to do. So for his birthday I got him a gift certificate to go flying with an instructor. Well it didn't end there he wanted his brothers to come with him so for Trevors graduation gift we got him a gift cert and then they wanted to wait for Howie to be able to come so when he got home in Sept we got him a gift cert as well. Trevor and his mom pitch in as well as a welcome home gift. So the 3 brothers were finally together and ready for some fun. Well they got up there and found out they were on the wrong side of the mountain so after a bit of driving around and trying to get a hold of the instructor we were in the right place but the wrong time! The wind had calmed down so Nate and Trev got to go out for about 10 min but then they landed and the wind stopped! But dont worry they get to go again. And hopefully they will all get to go on a longer ride then 10 min!

Provo Canyon

The Harward Fam

They look fake... Their not!

She is a duck hunter!


We have decided that we need to have general conference more often. Its so nice to wake up and go to church in your sweats! We watched the first session and then DVRed the second session so that we could go up Provo Canyon and take some pictures. Maggie loves her adventures with her family and Nate loves to take her. She has been quite the explorer lately and one heck of a swimmer!! It was so fun to walk up to bridal veil falls and see all of the fall colors! We hiked around for a bit then headed home to finish conference and have Sunday dinner.. for the record I made my first Turkey dinner.. I will have to say it was pretty good!
