Mother's Day


I'm going to follow the lead of my sister Kate and send some love to my Mommy. This woman is INCREDIBLE! To think of all she has dealt with, especially in the last year and she's still pressing forward-is awesome. She is our sounding board, creative counsel, listening ear, and is not afraid to still tell us what to do. I don't know what any of us would do without her! I do not have many pictures of just her because she is always the one behind the camera. I do know that we would have ugly homes, no prom dresses, and would forever be searching for the recipe for such and such. So here's to you mom, the woman who started it all...Happy Mother's Day! I am so glad I got to spend most of it with you (even if you were in a body cast), I love you!

On another note...I had a TERRIFIC Mother's Day! It included a suprise trip to the spa, flowers, Cole rolling over for the first time, pancakes and a card. I know, I know, I can't even keep up with Brian!

Cole's First Time in the Ocean


Here's some video of Cole's first taste of his parent's second true love. You can tell be the scream at the end-he wasn't impressed!

Vacation Pics

Go JAZZ!


One team. One dream!

We have to give a shout out to our boys! As dedicated Jazz fans who watch every game possible, (those of you who remember watching in the hospital, during labor, would agree); we need to give some cyber-love to the guys that can get our hearts pumping and Grandma Tweet praying. I am sure that after tonight's loss she is mad as ever at Jerry Sloan (she has harsh feelings against him, but I am sure she is working on it). All women out there will admit that Kyle Korver is one of the most beautiful people on the earth today! This includes Tweet who I have personally witnessed standing in front of the television trying to take a picture of him with his shirt off in the locker room!

To all of them-Boozer, Deron, Okur, and even Andre...good luck and please continue to give us an excuse to yell at the television for a few more weeks!

We're Back!



I must admit...I have never had such harsh feelings for Utah. After spending some time in Florida with near perfect weather, we returned to the snow-it's May for crying out loud! I am realistic and know that it's going to snow in April but perhaps this year being stuck in my little old house that is FREEZING at times, all day long, makes me a little grumpier when I realize that warm weather is not going to come any time soon (to stay anyway....it might make an appearance). Those of you who know me are well aware that I could have summer 360 days of the year (let it snow during Christmas)!

We had fun in Florida. Brian got to see a lot of old friends and we spent a lot of time with family. Swimming, Disney World, Kennedy Space Center, southern Bar-B-Q, it was all good. Cole tolerated both days of traveling MUCH better than I thought he would. Now we're just trying to get him re-adjusted to Utah time.

Dad Turns 50!

So it's a big year all around for the Harman's. With the sale of the farm, building on the river, kids scattered throughout four states, etc. etc....things have been and will continue to be busy! My parents have been looking for a gathering place in St George for a while since it is half-way point for the Arizona crew and the Utah bunch has easy access also. We have made St. George our get away since I was eight years old and it was time to get kicked out of grandma and grandpa's and get our own place. They came across something when they weren't even looking, in the midst of cleaning out my Grandma Millie's home to get ready for the open house. It is perfect! We can all fit and there are enough bathrooms for everyone! We even have our own pool that we can't get kicked out of by the Mesa's condo association :)

Well my Dad turned 50 on Sunday and as a group we have decided he is the HARDEST person to shop for (except maybe Brian-what do you get for someone that doesn't have a preference or opinion!). If Dad wants something, he will just get it. You can only give the man so many sleeves of golf balls a year! So we decided the best present we could give him would be to be together. I love my dad and think he is one of the greatest people ever! The closing on the house was Friday so we decided to head down and suprise him. He and Mom stayed at the new house while we all trickled in late on Friday and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Harman. Saturday morning we all met early for breakfast and Mom brought Dad with her cunning ways and perfect timing. He was truly suprised! We had a great time at breakfast and spending the rest of the day at the new house. He got a real present and cupcakes on Sunday but the only thing missing was my sister Katie (and Benny). In the words of my niece Alexa, "This is fun...can we do it again?"

Fun Weekend
