New Expressions Vinyl Winner

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

So I know the Expressions Vinyl Giveaway for a $25 gift certificate was at the beginning of the month and I said the winner only had 48 hrs to contact me, but I completely forgot to pick a new winner!

Forgive me?

Definitely think it is time to pick a new winner, especially since the winner has had 3 weeks to contact me.


So the NEW winner of the $25 gift certificate to Expressions Vinyl is:
Number 22!


Who is:

Congratulations Ginger!!

You have 48 hrs. to contact me to claim your prize!

WY Trip Recap

**This post is picture HEAVY!! **

As I've mentioned before, we headed out to WY last week for Travis' family reunion and the Basque Festival.
I shared a few photos of our trip on Monday but here is the full recap.

We drove up from CO on Thursday evening.

There was a family gathering that night and then we headed out to eat with Travis' parents and grandpa.

On Friday, we took a drive to the Michelena Family Ranch.

Along the way we saw:

Gorgeous views.

A few of these guys.

And a whole lotta of hay bails.

Here is the sign at the family ranch.

The center sign are the family branding symbols.

Once there, we crossed this big bridge built by Travis' Great-Grandfather.

It was cool but a little scary!

And before we headed out, we had to take a picture with the old jeep that was used by the sheep dogs back in the day.

While driving around we also saw many Antelopes.

There was another family event Friday evening and then Saturday we got up for the Basque Festival parade.

Welcome sign in downtown Buffalo.

Basque dancers opening the parade.

And then we saw lots of Sheep Wagons!
This one is an original sheep wagon on one side of the Michelena Family.

This is Travis' uncle's sheep wagon with his Grandpa Joe and Great Uncle driving it.

These were two beautiful wooden sheep wagons.

But can't forget the sheep wagons manned by women of a family.

After the parade, I wanted to take a picture with Travis by the river behind our hotel before we changed to head to the mountains.


Once changed, off to the mountains we went to see his family that was camping up there.
Travis and I took a hike once we got to the mountains to take in the scenery.

I admired many beautiful wild flowers.

Found the carving Travis did in one of the trees 5 years ago at the last Basque Festival he attended. It's aged a little.
He did this about 6 months before we got married and we used this picture on the cake table at our wedding.

We admired the mountains.

Walked along the creek taking many pictures along the way.

Admired more wide flowers.

And eventually got to this opening and climbed up the large pile of rocks in the distance.

And took in the fabulous views from the top.

We then hiked back to camp and hung out with family some more and celebrated one of his Uncle's 50th birthday.


It was a fun weekend meeting Travis's family, hearing stories about growing up in WY herding sheep, and taking in the Basque culture.

A Baby Shower for Mandipity!

My bloggy friend Mandy from Mandipity, is expecting her first baby, Abigail VERY soon!

So, Gina from Hiya Luv and Rachel from The Chatty Mommy teamed up to throw her a virtual baby shower and I am participating!

You can participate as well if you would like. Check out Gina's blog, Hiya Luv for all the details and to link up your post to the baby shower party.

I decided to find some adorable items on Etsy that would be perfect for baby Abigail.
Abigail's room is decorated with little deer so I thought I would find some cute deer items to match her room and then just a few other things I thought were too cute not to share.

First up, what's a baby shower without a diaper cake?
This is an adorable deer one from Skidly Bop.

Babies are messy when they eat so why not cover them up with this super cute bib from Babiease.

I just loved this Deer art by J. Austin Ryan and I thought Mandy would love it as well.

How about a cute burp cloth to try to keep the babies, and you, less messy as well?
This one from JP Pink Daisy will work just fine.

Love this monogram art, in an A of course, from Sugar Fresh.

This art is so precious by Sugar Fresh as well.

Could always do a fun wall decal as well. This one is too cute from Decor Designs.

This matches Abigail's room exactly. And what little girl doesn't like their name on the door?
This is from the shop Personalized by Diane.

This would be for when Abigail is just a little older but it was too cute to pass up. It is from the shop JeabMade.


Mandy, one of these items might be coming your way VERY soon so I hope you liked all them. :)
And best wishes for Abigail's arrival!
