A Year of Blessings: Our First Blog

This whole blog thing is a new thing for me and might take some time getting used to. I figured it would be a good way to let all of our family and friends know what was going on in our lives.

We truly have been blessed this last year. We have accomplished a lot.

Carl and I both graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho last April. Carl got his degree in Agricultural Business and I got mine in University Studies. I looked like an elephant, nine months pregnant. My family came from Lewiston and Arizona, and of course, Carl's family was there.

Shortly after graduation we greeted our first little arrival, Riley Chester McNabb. He was born on May 10, 2006 and came in at 6 lbs 15 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. He's been a joy since he arrived. He is the happiest, sweetest little guy in the world.

About five months ago we moved from Inkom, where we had been renting an apartment to Pocatello where we bought a cute little house. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a big back yard for Riley to run around.

This picture is after we pulled out a bunch of

ugly bushes in front of our house.

About one month ago we got a new puppy, Bella. She is a Border Collie and is a little ball of energy. She is already showing a dominant Border Collie trait...herding. She herds Riley all over the lawn. She's definately a working dog.
