Diller Wedding

I think the pictures speak for themselves,

the wedding turned out BEAUTIFUL!

Congrats Mr. & Mrs.

It's Here.....!!

We finally got our 5th Wheel! I am so STOKED

to go camping it's sickening!

Camping in the wilderness is rough....

A New Addition

No folks, I am not pregnant...

We got a new puppy!

Just what we needed right, another dog!

His name is RUGER and he is about 13 weeks.

As far as we know, he is straight black lab.

Someone dumped this sweetie off at NOP park,

all but straved to death and way thirsty (he was 10 weeks)

and I couldn't resist but to bring him home.

Lucky for us, he is beyond smart and lovey for being

dumped off to fend for himself. And even better news,

Diesel LOVES him, except when he gets in the way of

"Scott and son" time - Diesel ain't havin' that :]

Here he is.....

Wedding Season

Please come to an end.....

We have had sooo many of our friends get married this summer, it's been crazy! One every other week since June. The final wedding of the season ends (I think) with my BFF Hilairy getting married on the beach of Bear Lake, Aug. 22. I don't know how many of you know this, but I am a party planning fool! Ha. I was lucky enough to be the 'Wedding Planner' for this beauty and cannot wait to see the final results. It was a quick 3 months to plan and get everything done, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm doing centerpieces for the tables, as well as program/fans for each chair. (We are hoping the weather is 90 like any typical Aug. would be)

This is a front view of the fan

Next weekend will be spent in Bear Lake getting all the last minute things together, when It's all set up I will for sure take photos so you can see my work. Lets cross our fingers it turns out as good as I see it in my mind, and that the weather is warm too :]

My Happy List

I saw this on Stacy's blog and thought we all need a little

reminder of what makes up happy,

so I'm going to make my own.

(Thanks Stac!)

1.

Childrens Hymns. There isn't anything that calms

my soul like Primary songs.

2.

Me & Scott time. Working 2 jobs, school starting,

and him leaving town next week makes me

cherish 'our' time to be together.

3.

Diesel snoring. Random, yes, but I can't help

but giggle a little when I wake up in the

middle of the night to that

LOUD rumble.

4.

Tanner & Talon. My heart swells everytime

I get a phone call or a card and a big

"I love you" from them.

5.

Memories/Photos of my Grandma. My time with

her was short in my eyes, but I have

great memories and pictures of her for always.

6.

Fresh shaved legs on clean sheets hung outside.

The way they slide right to the coldest

part of the bed on a hot summer night!

You ladies know what I'm talking about :]

7.

Girls Nights. It's so refreshing to go and spend

an evening with them and laugh for hours

about nothing in particular.

8.

Autumn. (Since today has that feel)

The smell of dried leaves and the abudance of

colors on the hills surrounding our sleepy town,

that cool, crisp breeze. Aww, come fall, please!

9.

A New Cookbook. I love cracking open

a fresh new cookbook and looking for recipes

that are totally different or have a new spin

on an old favorite.

10.

Love Notes From Scott. Stuffed in my purse

or under the windshield wiper when I'm at work/school.

Knowing he takes the extra effort to let me know he

loves me and is thinking about me.

So there is my list of 10 things that make me happy. I could have

gone on and on, but I hit on the most important. I

challange you to make your own happy list.

Like I said, in a world as busy as the one we live in,

we all need a small reminder of what keeps us going

on a daily basis.

My Nephews & Ross Park

There isn't anything more I love than spending time with my sweet little nephews and summer

to them isn't summer at all if 'their Mawen' (said in the sweetest 3 yr old voice) isn't taking them to Ross Park. Working 2 jobs has totally killed our fun time, but I was lucky enough to get a day off in the middle of the week and took these 2 to the pool. We had a blast playing in the water, with the toys and kids, and drinking slushies all day. My friend Courney, and my Mom came with us and we just soaked up the sun while the boys played.

This is a little about each of the boys:

*The 'baby'-Talon is almost 3 and is a TERROR. He is fearless. He has the cutest, tough guy personality, and very rarely can you get a love outta this kid. But when you do, watch out, he'll snuggle you to death. He was the littlest baby and you would never know that by how big he is now. He has the most Indian in him for sure (both of my boys are part Souix); dark skin, dark eyes and (curly) hair.

*Tanner will be 7 in Oct. and my heart breaks everytime I think of him going into the first grade. Wasn't it yesterday I was rocking him to sleep in his nursery? He is the complete opposite from the little guy. Tanner is so so so sensitive and loves to give you loves. He has the best giggle in the entire world, and eyelashes that will put any girl to shame. I'm so glad he thinks girls ('except my mom, you Maren, Grammy Honey.....") are yucky. Because the second he realizes they're not, I will be at his door beating them off with sticks.

This is me, Courtney, and Tanner, just hanging out at the kiddie pool soaking our feet. :]

Talon, after he went down the slide, yelling, 'did ew see dat Mawen?!'

Here's the 3 of us, getting ready to head back home.

As we packed our stuff up and got ready to go home, Talon grabs my leg and says 'Mawen, shanks for taking me and big browver to da poow' (Translation: Maren, thanks for taking me and Tanner to the pool) Melt your heart out! He had his arms up and gave me a little pat on the back (his hugs) and a kissy. After I dropped them off and was getting ready to leave, Tanner says to me, "Maren, I know you got two yobs (jobs) but when do you think we can do that again?" I told him I had two days off next week, and he says "If I'm good and my Mom says so, can you take us again?" Of course Tan Man... So I think we'll be going again next week!
