Halloween 2008















Halloween 2008 was a long time ago, but I do remember a few of the details! I remember that Brad got the brilliant idea of dressing up as a bunch of grapes for the Dressen/Harwood Halloween party held at Jill and Dan’s house. I remember that Logan didn’t think that his zebra costume was very cool and wanted to be a train conductor like Luke instead. Those two were OBSESSED with Thomas the Train that year. And I remember thinking how fun it was to live somewhere where I got to see my nieces and family get together for all holidays, even Halloween. Mom makes a pretty good hippie, don’t you think?!

A few Logan updates


Logan is the funniest human being that I have ever met. When he wakes up in the morning, his energy equates with someone who has woken up and downed 2 Rockstars. He wants to tackle with dad every morning. He loves, loves, loves being outside with his little friends. He is very much into his gymnastics class, dirt, cousins, popsicles, grandmas, and pre-school days. He pretends to enjoy watching cheesy musicals with me. He loves wearing clothes that are way too small and takes pride in his self-assembled outfits. Logan is psyched about his ability to be a walking flashlight after his pajamas are charged up at night. 
Today he woke up from his nap and found his way to the kitchen with his eyes half closed, whining. He came over to me in the kitchen, pulled his pants down, and started peeing right on my slippers. I swear the stream lasted for 30 seconds before I saw the finished yellow pond that he had just made on the tile. I started laughing, hard. He just turned around and went back to bed. I have no idea what that was all about. Tonight he made me lay down with him, so I pretended I was asleep as he had a choke-hold on me for a good 15 minutes. All of the sudden, he peers over to see me awake and cracks himself up at the idea that we are both still awake. Well, he is still awake, and that leaves 9 hours until pre-school starts. He is growing up too fast. Ask him- he will assure you that he is 5. I hope that I never forget how entertaining his toddler phase has been.

A night with the whole fam


















We are a LOUD group of people, but we sure know how to have one 'ell of a time. Ty and Rach adopted a dog named Bella from the Humane Society, gracing us with her presence at mom and dad's for the weekend. We are loving benadryl more than ever! Dad and Jesse braved a white-out snow storm to drive home from hunting in McCall tonight. Here are some pics of this fun and oh-so-blustry night at the Ferney house.

Here's to Montana....

I just got the pics this weekend from the memorable and cabin trip from this summer. I must admit that the course of events was a bit different than in years past! Val keeps the camera clicking, and might I say that a picture is worth a thousand words! One word, however would suffice.... STRESS! We will someday look back on this vacation and get many laughs. Check out the 2 slide shows at the bottom of the page Harker Fam!

Just a thought....

If anyone only knew how many blog entries I write that never make it past a saved draft. They all get looking like a lengthy soap box-like formative thesis and I resign to saving them in the garbage bin. So I am going to try to get one thought out there real quick, so here it goes!!! I am seeing too many people that I love feel overwhelmed with thinking that who they are right now is not enough. Life is hard! It is really difficult to deal with all of the pressures the buzzing all around. Life can be difficult for all of us, as it was intended to be. Please don't ever think that you are alone in any struggle of this daily life. Please let's try to stop comparing ourselves to any other breathing soul. If we do attempt to size ourselves up, we will be inevitably innacurate and never encouraged. It is really rough sometimes to block out all of the noise and garbage around us, but we can! We do it every day. Life is bringing as many joys as it is trials, so hang in there. We are all doing the best that we can. Just keep helping out all of the women around you because we all need help, sincere friendship, and encouragement. I love what Sr. Beck and President Uchtdorf from the LDS church have to say about the topic. These articles remind me of the hope and happiness in our purpose. Check out these articles:
