That Girl Is Whalin'.....

6 months. I am HUGE!!!! (already)



... I know - it's pretty gross!!!
This little guy is moving a TON. Recent cravings have included oranges (like they're going out of style), root beer, and french fries **maybe that's why I'm a blimp Ü

We're Having A.....

We don't have a scanner, so it's a picture of the ultra sound... which stinks!!! So in case you can't tell... which you probably can't.... it's a BABY BOY!!




5 Months

4 Months

I seem to be feeling a little better (finally!!!). I've dropped my medication down from 3xs a day (21xs a week) to only a couple of times a week. I felt some quickining movements ... I think :)
I've completely lost any definition that I had prior to pregnancy and my tummy is starting to get a little hard where baby/uterus is. Is that TMI??? :)
We find out gender next month! YAY! Any guesses?

5 Year Anniversary!!

We just recently celebrated our 5 year anniversary!! Can you believe it!?!? We decided to play everything low key [since I've been super sick] for our activities... but we had such a fun day!


We started off by going to tour St. Lukes for when the little baby comes. We know it's waaaay early, but we were worried that we wouldn't have time the next couple of months with our busy school schedules!


After the tour we decided to grab some yummy grub.... mmmmm! Bagel sandwiches for lunch!!



After lunch, we had a little nap! It was great! Being pregnant sure does make you sleepy!! For the afternoon, after our little nap, we ran a bunch of errands (which was actually pretty fun)... just to have the time together!!

Dinner at Cheesecake Factory



When we got home we popped some popcorn and played crazy games into the early, or late; I guess, hours of the morning. It was so fun!!! We really are the bestest of friends :)



Not that I look any different AT ALL!! But just for documentation purposes.... 3 months! YAY!

Some Say...

But We Say...
Whoot Whoot!!


**The best part about the bumper sticker is that we saw it the EXACT day that we found out we were pregnant... it gave us quite the laugh...luckily we had the camera in the car Ü

River Trip 2009

Our 3rd annual river trip. It was a BLAST!!!

Before loading the bus to get to the river


The first rapid!!!


Second rapid ... we were pros by now Ü


On the last segment of white water rapids, Shawn 'rode the bull' (rode on the front of the raft - - - for all of you rafting virgins Ü) .... it was a crazy wild rapid and he fell out - super scary (my heart literally sank into my stomach) - thanks for the save Porter Ü



I must say ... Shawn did hold his own VERY WELL through the tough water Ü



It was a really fun summer Saturday!!


***if you click on the pictures they will expand so you can see them better***

Shoshone Falls

Shawn and I planned a day trip to Shoshone Falls & through the wonderful technology of live chat on FB, we found out last minute that the Hansens were going too ... so we made a date out of it!! We had such a fun time. We LOVE the Hansens!! xoxoxox


On Our Way!!!



Picnic At The Park


The Beautiful Waterfall! There were amazing rainbows ALL over!!




Roxie and Jada - turned out to be not the greatest of friends Ü


A quick stop at the beautiful Twin Falls temple!



On our way home after a fun day road trip!

Lookin' Good....

Shawn and I both got new hair dos tonight...and they turned out fab!!
**Also, does a guy's new hair-do really ever look that different? I don't think so, so no pictures of Shawn. Ü

Thanks Amber. We heart you!!
btw, Shawn wanted me to personally thank you for the very stimulating conversation we all had tonight. We had a lot of fun with you! xoxo

Wedding Tag

My cute friend Suzi tagged me. I don't usually do these, but this one seemed like a fun walk down memory lane AND I couldn't resist since today it's been exactly four and a half years since we said 'i do'!!-can you believe that!?!?...so here goes!

When was your wedding? August 19, 2004



Where did you get married? Boise, Idaho temple




How long were you dating/engaged? A year and a half. I don't have our engagement pictures in a digital format... but this is us at the luncheon. Does anyone remember Shawn's sweet ride? I'm glad we were able to graduate from the white beast of a truck! And yes, Dyan: we still do have the bride and groom pins Ü



Were you a bridezilla? No... I was perfect Ü



What were the wedding colors? yellow, green, and white



How many brides maides did you have? 3

Where did you honeymoon? McCall

Where was your reception? It was the cutest little backyard reception ever; Boise, Idaho.



Is there anything that you would re-do if you could?: hmmmm...professional pictures would have been fun. It also would have been nice to have had a bridal photo session.

Did you save your caketop and eat it on your 1 year? Of course!

Speaking of cakes, what did yours look like? A hat. It looked like a hat. It was HIDEOUS and not very yummy AT ALL... but, it was free; a friend made it for us! And no, we did not smash it in each other's face because Shawn knew that would not be a happy start to our ever after!!







How long have you been married now? Four and a half years, can you believe it?!?



Did you get a lot of presents? Yes, we got a TON of presents... this is only about half! I think I actually remember returning 8 crockpots, even though we registered Ü







I tag Christy B., Savannah H., Megan N., Mitzi C., and Amber K.

THE BANG GANG Ü










*don't mind the rest of my hair looking frazzled ... we just spent the last few hours bathing a very dirty stray dog. I know, I know: I'm waaaaaaaaaaaay to nice to dogs - sigh.... Ü


so, what do you think of the new do?

Photo Tag

I've been photo tagged. I am supposed to take pictures of these few things just as they are, no cleaning, altering, or making adjustments to... so here goes...

1. Laundry Room - I wish we had an actual room for our washer and dryer, but our small little closet works for now Ü


2. Our closet - it's really small, so not much to look at!


3. Self-portrait - can I just say - ugggh!


4. Kitchen sink


5. Fridge - oh wow! I really, really need to clean this thing! Sorry for how gross it is! Ü



6. Favorite shoes - favorite because they're cute, but really uncomfortable!


7. Favorite room - I would have to say our bedroom ... I just love it!



8. Bathroom
First, guest bathroom; second our bathroom (a bit messy, sorry!!)




9. What your children are doing right now - In heaven patiently waiting to come down to earth!! (Shawn and I have been a bit slow on getting around to this Ü)



I tag: Savannah Hansen, Diana Palmer, Christy Beal, and Amber Keller

Winter Wonderland

Shawn had a job up in McCall today so Roxie and I joined him for a roadtrip. It was funnnnnn!!

The drive was so beautiful the whole way there. It was a slow drive because it was snowing so hard, but it sure made for a lot of neat scenes. (BTW: I'm not a photographer at all ... so these pictures aren't super great, but hopefully you'll see the beauty in them and feel thankful for all of Heavenly Father's creations ... & these were taken while we were driving, consequently a lot of the pictures are pretty blurry)




Roxie loved playing in the snow; on some parts on our walk the snow was so deep that it covered her entire little body with her head barley peaking out of the heap.



Our walk was coooooooooooooold! We were super glad that we brought our 'bundle-up' gear!




After our walk, we grabbed some yummy grub at 'my father's place' and headed for the long drive home. It was such a fun day!

At the restaurant

CHRISTMAS!

We hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas.... We sure did Ü

CAROLING

Last night mutual was combined, so Shawn and I got to hang out together!! The activity was to go caroling... not ordinary caroling, though. We were pulled on trailors attached to cars with hey bales in them to sit on. It was a FREEZING nineteen degress and when we hit those main roads @ 35 mph it was almost unbearable! It was so much fun, though. Unfortunately, we forgot to bring our camera with us on the trailors, but we got a quick picutre of us when we arrived back at the church. Our faces were so frozen, it was actually painful to smile. Awww memories.



Can you tell that Shawn was ready to go home? Ü

FINALS ARE OVER!!

Tonight we had a celebratory dinner because both of us had our last final today. YUMMY chicken and brocolli casserole with (of course) sparkling cider!! It feels so great to be done for the semester!! Don't mind the exhausted looks on our faces (we were both up all night studying last night!!) Ü



Also, I know that you all could care less to see pictures of our dog... but she is our practice baby... and we just adore here Ü Most of you know we like to keep it colder in our home, so everyday we wrap Roxie up in her blanket and she will lay like this for hours. literally. It is so awesome! Ü

Allyson's Graduation

Shawn's sister, Allyson, graduated from BYU-I this semester; with a Communications major. We were able to drive down to Rexburg this weekend and attend the ceremony. President Uchtdorf addressed the graduates. It was a great ceremony. We are so proud of you Allyson Ü WAY TO GO!! Ü

Waiting in line for the doors to open


Before the ceremony began

YAY Allyson!

A LITTLE HOLIDAY CHEER!!

Christmas Tree Stand

Scotty and Shawn decided to open up a Christmas tree stand to earn a little extra dinero for the holiday season. It went well and most importantly we had A LOT of fun doing it!!

Hard at work setting up



The Dynamic Duo Ü



Taking a break from unloading Christmas trees


The Result




The weather was absolutely wonderful and we got to enjoy beautiful cloud formations like this ALL day!! It was BLISS!!



After a very long COLD day of work there was still a lot left to do... findinig room for the leftover Christmas trees to sell later this week- but we still made that fun Ü





Also, thanks to my Mom for all of her help, a very important silent partner in all of this chaos... AND, thanks to Grandma for letting us invade your house with 100s of trees- THEE PERFECT location! We couldn't have done it without all of your help. Thanks!! Ü Ü

THANKSGIVING

This year we spent Thanksgiving day with Shawn's family and then drove down to UT to spend Friday and Saturday with the Buckley side. Unfortunately, we forgot the camera for Thanksgiving day, but we were able to get a few pictures of our time down in UT. We had so much fun with both families. We are so thankful for this beautiful time of year and the time that we are able to spend with friends and family.

I just thought this was a cute picture of Buddy cuddling with Davison... He is such a GREAT baby!! Davis was propped up on the couch and Buddy jumped up and decided to snuggle up close!!



Lastly, we are starting to get festive at our house!! We found the PERFECT Christmas tree and had a lot of fun putting all of our ornamnets on the tree.

Fall Family Photos!

Shawn's sister took a couple of informal family photos for us [THANKS ANNIE!!]. Here are some of the results...

REMEMBER WHEN...

Do you remember when?


Here are the rules.


1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember! If we're only blogging friends or if you're a blog hopper who happens upon my blog regularly...leave me a comment. There must be reason you keep stopping by! Say something! If you don't have a blog or don't know how to sign in, sign up for an account! You won't regret it!



2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog (if you have one) and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty fun to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll be sure to write one about you... either on your blog, in my comment box, or I will email you back!

Saw this on a friend's blog and thought it was cute!! We'll see how this goes, I hope we get at least a few comments so I don't feel completely lame Ü

Oh, and lately, I don't believe in posting without a picture, even if it is random...

DATE NIGHT

We needed a date night!! Between school and work we don't get enough of these 'quality time together' nights- so when Shawn got home from mutual tonight, we decided to Red Box it. We watched Get Smart. If you haven't seen it we highly recommend it... It is HILARIOUS!! Steve Carell is da shizzle. It was soooo fun and well deserved after the last few weeks we've had!!

Thanks for such a fun night Babe, I lOvE YoU!!

Quote Of The Night...

"If it's not as good as the Langstons, it's not worth my time to try." --Anonymous

Shout Out To My Hombre!

Shawn is so amazing! He is so kind, thoughtful, fun to be with, funny, loyal, hard working, generous, caring, trustworthy, ambitious, sentimental, worthy to hold the priesthood, adventurous, sweet, helpful, truly just a good person ... just to name a few!! I am so thankful for him!! When I am with Shawn I feel so happy. He truly brings out the best in me (although that's not hard to do, eh?!? Ü). He spoils me to the umpteenth degree. I can count on him through rain or shine. I don't know what I would do, or where I would be without him. He is my constant cheerleader, always by my side encouraging me to do better and be better. We belong together; like morning and the sunrise! Ü Here's to my best friend- what a blessing that I get to be with this stud for eternity!








As a comment to this post, please leave a memory that you have of Shawn -or- the reasons why you are glad he is your friend (or both Ü).

Per Your Request...

Funny Commercial

We came across this commercial that was aired in Israel, we thought that it was hilarious and wanted to share it with you. You will want to pause our music down at the bottom of the page before you play it. The words are subtitled at the bottom, hope you can read them... they are kinda small. This is worth it, it is sooo funny!

Cheers To 4 Years!

Today is our four year anniversary! Married life has been a completely blissful adventure...


On our very first anniversary, we began a tradition of having fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, corn, rolls, and sparkling cider for our anniversary dinner. We have carried on this tradition every year for our anniverary no matter where we have celebrated.... So to carry on with the tradition this year, we started off our anniversary with the traditional dinner... YUM!











I love you so much! Happy Anniversary Babe!!

Baptism

Our friend that has been coming to church with us; Beckie, got baptized today! It has been a long road with a lot of bumps along the way, but... after eight months her special day finally came! We are so proud of her and are anxious to help her along the path to make it to the temple someday. Yay Beckie!

The New Dos...

Shawn and I splurged for new hairstyles tonight (mine color, his cut). What do you think...you like?!? Thanks Amber...you rock!

Little Miss Addi

A Tearful Fairwell

We sent them off today...oh, sadness! Before they hit the road we had breakfast at Eddies and then cried in the parking lot. We will miss you so much. We love you guys! Until we meet again...

Uhhh... I think I need some new shoes!!

After church yesterday my shoes completely tore of the sole. They had a good run (7-8 years) and for .50 cents at DI not too shabby Ü

Happy Birthday Mom!

Saturday was my Mom's birthday. We had a lot of fun going to the movie "Get Smart"... LOVED it. It was sooo hilarious! We also went to dinner and then home for cake and ice cream.

She has had a legacy of 53 wonderful years, such a great example to me. What a wonderful Mom! We love you!

River Trip, Baby!!

This weekend we had the opportunity to float the Payette river with Matt and Savannah. We had such a blast! Will, our guide, was so funny and really great at getting us down the river safely. It was; oh, so fun!

Loading the bus before our river trip!!


A few shots of the crazy rapids...The pictures are a little small, for some reason, I can't get the computer to accept the "zoomed in" version; but, if you want to get a really good look at the pictures, just click on them and they enlarge quite a bit Ü

Just the 4 1/2 of us!!

I just thought this was a cute picture. Best friends!! We love you guys.



I just had the realization that our blog is mainly about you guys, okay time for some new posts!!

Happy 4TH of July!!

We had such a great holiday this year. We started off the day by making a huge breakfast. We definitely are not good cooks, but it was a lot of fun to make the memories...



Later in the day we were able to spend some time with both of our families. It was a lot of fun. We ended the night with a fun (although slightly illegal and slightly dangerous) firework show. Good times!!

Our Very First Garage Sale

We have finally collected enough stuff to have our first real garage sale. Wow, I guess we've been married for a long time...almost 4 years. YEAH!!

WAAAAY TOO SPOILED!

What is wrong with these pictures? Our puppy is treated like a queen, and she knows it!!

Tubby little puppy all wrapped in a blankey...

Okay, so I came upstairs this morning from making the bed, and found our little puppy like this. She always moves the pillows around on the couch to make a comfortable area for her to lay in, but wrapping herself up in a blanket is a totally new thing, I have NO idea how she did it. What a smart dog :)
Cute, huh?

My BIG Accomplishment For The Day

Okay... It might not be that big, but I have been feeling a little under the weather, so I thought it was a pretty big accomplishment. I cleaned out our fridge and freezer today. YEAH! I would like to think that I am pretty good at keeping the house cleaned, the car sometimes, but the fridge NEVER. Today; however, all of that changed. I threw away a bunch of food and gave the whole unit a good scrub. I think it looks beautiful...and it will definitely stay that way, at least until school starts again!


Yes, we do have a lot of muffins, and no, those aren't beers

Shout Out To A Wonderful Cousin

I LOVE Savannah [and Matt, of course!]. Not only is she an awesome cousin, but a super great friend. Matt and Savannah had the opportunity to come up to Boise this weekend. Thank you for coming! We had such a fun time together. What a dang fun couple to hang out with... too bad you don't live here in Boise so we could hang out all the time!!! You guys are awesome. We love ya'!

A Tribute To A Wonderful Husband

Hooray! The semester is officially over! In honor of Shawn working so dang hard this semester at school, I made him a "congratulations, you're done with finals" cake today to go along with the "school's out" party that I planned for him tonight.




I truly am so proud of Shawn and all that he does. He is such a hard worker and a kind and loving husband. He makes me laugh and makes me so happy. I admire Shawn in so many ways. He is wonderful! Way to go on finishing out this semester with a bang. You are awesome babe!

IT IS HOT!!

Today was the first day of 2008 that we turned on our air conditioner. We had a ceremony of sorts when we clicked the air on. It's the little things in life that make us excited :) Welcome to the McFarland home cold air- it's going to be a great summer as long as you are with us!!

What's For Dinner?

Since it is summer and school is over, I am pretty much home every day. During the school sememster it was cool to have sandwiches and cold cereal for dinner (every once in a while we would throw a mac'n'cheese in there)...but now that I have nothing to do during the day, I feel like I should cook decent meals for my hubby! Can you please give me some suggestions of yummy/easy recipes that I could try?!? Thanks!!

MOVIE RECCOMENDATION.....

This is thee best movie we have seen all year. We highly reccommend it. Go to Red Box and try it... the most you have to loose is a dollar!! BUT... guaranteed, you will not regret it- it is such a great movie. Let us know what you think of it by posting a comment. WATCH IT!!

FINALLY! Graduation Day Has Come...

For those of you who ever wondered if this day would actually ever arrive... we are here to tell you that it has- and it was a glorious day!!
Unfortunately, we only got pictures with a few people, but we are very thankful to all of those who took time out of their busy schedules to come and help celebrate!


Best study pal in the ENTIRE world- Sydney Ellis / soon to be Harris!Yeah!! I don't know what I would do without you girl!

Dear, sweet Grandma at graduation celebration

My best friend, the love of my life. Thanks for all of your encouragement and late nights studying with me. I couldn't have done this without you. I love you so much! You are my everything!

We think we need a backyard for our puppy!!

When we got done getting ready for church this morning, Roxie was sitting on our loveseat staring out the window and crying. We feel so bad for our puppy that we don't have a yard for her to run around in. She loves to be outside! Isn't it a cute picture?

A best friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway...

For church today, Keli and I dressed in the same skirt (different colors). It was so fun! What am I going to do without you when you go to Flordia?!?!?!? So...
"Because life is an ugly place not to have a best friend." Thank goodness for you in my life. Hugs and kisses to you; my friend, I love ya!!

I Know You Lookin'

Can't get enough of each other!!

Twins

One of our favorite bands is Blue October. Some day we are going to save up enough money to go to one of their concerts. Will we be in these shirts? You betcha!!

Too Cute!!

2 Generations of Sisters

Conference weekend we had the opportunity to spend time with Grandma, Roberta, Ordella, Dyan, and Mom. It was so fun!!

THE LANGSTONS...

The Langstons are WONDERFUL!! They are our best friends and when they move to Florida this summer we will be SOOO sad :( We love them so much and are so grateful for their friendship. Now, we will have to play spades over the phone! Remember the 'Irish phantom ghost'? SOOO many memories and definitely many more to come.
I'm sure Roxie will miss Jacob the most- or is it the other way around?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Shawn and Chelsey recently celebrated a birthday. Our birthdays are very close together...very fun!! For Shawn's birthday, we were able to go out to breakfast at Eddies Diner, where Chelsey waitresses (good food!) and for both of our birthdays, we were able to be surrounded by friends and family and have a FUN time :)

YEAH!!

If you haven't already heard the good news...Chelsey got accepted into graduate school at Idaho State University. Luckily, there is a campus here in Boise (DL-distance learning) so we will be able to stay here with our friends and family. It was very exciting when she got the letter of admissions. YEAH!!

Our Puppy...

For Those of you that don't know... we got a puppy in February of 2006. Her name is Roxie. She is a black lab / pitbull mix. She is SOOOO cute & we love her to death! She has been such a wonerful addition to our family.
