Mmmm....peas! I knew it would happen one day…I would no longer be the sole source of food for our baby. It was bittersweet as I mashed up avocado into the creamiest concoction possible. We made it 6 months and now it was time to introduce solids. The day of his 6 month appointment his pediatrician gave us some guidelines on what we could / shouldn’t feed him. Off to the grocery I went to buy some fresh veggies. I figured it was also time to buy a high chair since we are moving down this road. (We won’t mention the cute little plastic fish bibs I also picked up while I was there.) We chose to feed Paisley avocado’s first since they are already relatively mushy and packed full of goodness. After smashing it up, I mixed it with a little milk and was ready to go. Dumplin looked so little sitting in his big new high chair. It was almost as if he knew something exciting was about to happen as he anxiously watched us with his big blue eyes. Scott and I sat down with our dinner...

Happy Graduation!! (With Poppa and Momma) After I graduated college in December of 2006, I had every intention of heading back west.  After all, I only left Wyoming to get my degree and spend a couple years with my family.  So there I was with my diploma in hand and my eyes fell upon a job opening in the corporate world.  The only hang up, that job opening was right here in my little hometown, not nestled out west in the mountains.  "What the heck," I thought, I'll apply for the job and if I get it, I'll gain a few years of experience then I'll head back west.  After all...the mountains will always be there.  So happy together! Happy Wedding Day! Fast forward 5 years later...I have a house, a husband and a baby.  Happy "Birth" Day!!! My family! Here I was 5 years later, living the role of corporate employee, wife and mother.  I was wearing a lot of hats and it was taking a toll.  I returned to work from my maternity leave...

Hello Kitty Whiskers Perhaps this is coincidence, perhaps it is something more... Scott has owned this house for roughly 5 years.  During the time we had the occasional cat visit and spend time in our yard hunting mice and moles.  Scott never let me feed the cat despite my numerous attempts.  We're pretty sure the cat belonged to our neighbor but that didn't stop me from naming him (Sawdust) or pretending that in some strange way he was our cat.  When Paisley was born in August and we became a family of 3, Sawdust stopped coming over to visit.  In the middle of the night, we would hear a cat meowing, and figured Sawdust just decided to visit us at night.  Since I was up every few hours, I would hear the cat(s) everytime I would get up to feed Paisley.  They would be outside our bedroom window, outside Paisley's window, and on our front porch.  Then suddenly we started seeing a HUGE black cat (Blackie), an orange and...
