Aww...look at my little panda bear.
I got these jammies on major clearance and I heart them.
They make me smile.

This is a totally random mushy love stuff post, but the other night as I was trying to fall asleep I started thinking about all my memories of when Ryan and I were dating.
Our relationship kind of melded together and didn't really have an official start date. Although, I count July 4th, 2005 as that's the first day I met him, and I knew I liked  him right then and there.
While I was trying to fall asleep, I was thinking about our first kiss. I remembered It was on my couch in my roman gardens apt. in the middle of the day,and that we had been dating almost 2 weeks and I was starting to think he didn't like me, but for the life of me I couldn't remember what Ryan said to me before he kissed me. I had a mini freak out about it. I mean we've been together 5 years and I can't remember all the details about our first kiss, what's wrong with me?!? What am I going to tell me children? I fell asleep worrying about it.
Ryan helped me sort out the memory last night, and here's what he said,
" So are you going to kiss me?"
and I quickly retorted," You first." and then he kissed me!
Romantic huh? Lol. It was....until about .2 seconds later when my roommate Erin came flying in the door. She turned bright red and ran into her room. (She knew it was our first kiss and felt terrible for interrupting) She then ran back out the front door as quickly as she had come in. Ryan and I busted up laughing in embarrassment. Sigh, good times.
Now if I ever forget, I can come back to this blog post and remind myself.

XOXO,
Holly & Co.

I'm finally starting to feel a little better.

My dear friend Annalee and her adorable daughter Lilly came over to play on Wed.
Lilly made me laugh so hard, every time I tried to take her picture, this was the face I got. 


I won a spot in this class:
I've been slow at scrapping lately and I have tons of pictures so I'm hoping this class will help a little bit.

I've been absent this week. I apologize.
I even have things to blog about, but I've been busy and now I'm sick, and the only thing I want to do when I get home, is lay on the couch or go to bed.

I will be back soon. I promise...with pictures to boot!

XOXO,
Holly & Co.

We've visited a few of these type places before, but I think we've found our favorite. We discovered it while on a dessert run the other night with the Stauffer family.


Tonight our concoctions were as follows:
Peach Mango Tart yogurt + fresh mango + fresh strawberries + granola = Ryan

Red Velvet Cake yogurt + Vanilla yogurt + fresh strawberries + Cap'n Crunch = Holly

Vanilla + Reese's Pieces + chocolate sprinkles = Zoe


Yes, I did let Zoe pick out her own. I was surprised she didn't pick more toppings. I think she was just so excited to get her very own bowl....small bowl...but still all hers.





You can see how happy she is here.
Ryan loves having his picture taken, especially while he's eating.
{Yes, that is a Perry the Platypus t-shirt}

Here's to welcoming the weekend.

XOXO,
Holly & Co.

simply so I have a reason to buy this scrapbooking paper...

Last night, we all gathered at the Humbert's house anxiously awaiting for Brok, Ryan's brother to open his mission call.
Brok has been called to the Mexico Hermosillo mission, he reports to the MTC, in the late fall. We're so proud of Brok and not so secretly happy that we'll have a few more months with him here.




After the family gathering, Grandma Julie, graciously kept Zoe overnight so Ryan and I could go out on a date. We headed to Folsom to go to Fat's Asian Bistro.

Our appetizer was amazing. We were less impressed with our entrees. I got Sesame Chicken, which was good, but dry and Ryan got Thai Basil chicken and lo mein, it smelled like hot dogs and it tasted like hot dogs. He liked it, and thinks I'm crazy when I say it tasted and smelled like hot dogs, but each to his own I guess. Maybe we'll try it again and go for something different, but I was not impressed. Although the decor and service were great. Side note: make sure you go in the right bathroom, Ryan made that mistake. :)

I actually got some scrapbooking done today. That's the first time in a couple weeks I've actually scrapbooked. It seems like I've been working on lots of other craft projects and I've been getting behind in my scrapbooking.

Oh! I almost forgot, in the middle of our dinner date, my sister Jenni called, she is going to be having a little girl at the end of November. Yeah! More babies! More bows to make!

Ok well enough rambling for now...I've gotta put the little one to bed and finish making pizza..mmm...

Hope you're all having a great weekend. I promise pictures with the next post :)

XOXO,
Holly & Co.

I bought some red plastic hamburger baskets from the $1 bin at target the other day. I don't know what I have in store for them yet, but they were too cute to pass up. Any Ideas or links to share?
