Long Time No Post

Hello! Anyone still there? I don't blame you if you've abandoned this neglected little blog! I've been a big, fat, loser and haven't posted here for weeks and weeks! But I'm back and have LOTS to fill you in on!

Here's some of what's been going on these past 6 weeks: (In no particular order...)

-We Moved Into A New House with My Folks! YIKES!
-Eric's Mom Had Brain Surgery at UCLA Medical Center! Please Pray for Her!
-I Have a Big, Bulging Belly!
-Eric Enrolled in Nursing School!
-Erin (Eric's Sister) Had a Baby!
-We Got a Membership to the Zoo!
-We Still Have No Car!
-My Little Business is Crazy Busy!
-Eric's Doing LOTS of House Projects!
-We Now Live With FOUR Dogs!
-And finally, I am Sick of Being Pregnant!

I'll have lots of photos and updates coming soon... so thanks to you stragglers who have actually stuck around during my laziness.

Seriously...

I cannot stand the cuteness. Look at this kid!
Here she is playing with her birthday loot.

Happy Birthday Anna Grace!

Anna Grace, you are truly sunshine in our lives each day and we love you more than words could possibly express. It seems like only yesterday you were born and brought such joy to our hearts. It's been a blessing to watch you grow and learn and dance! Happy Birthday Baby!

Then... July 1, 2007

Now... 2 years old!

Asher David Tharaldson

I am just totally in love right now...

Definitely a Boy!

I had my big ultrasound today, and everything is looking good! My due date is October 14th... so I just have to make it through a hot summer! Soon Eric will be back home with us, and all will be right with my world!

Rags to Riches

Don't all dogs sleep like this?

5 Years ago Scarlet was wandering the streets of LA. We found her at the pound, and paid $37.50 for her. Now she sleeps wrapped in a Chenille blanket. Hmmm....

Fun Find!

In celebration of the approaching transition from crib to bed, I am planning to redo Anna's room in big girl fashion! We currently have a fabulous white bunk bed, and I was thrilled to find this quilt set at JCPenny online. Not only was it on sale (approx 40% off), but I also found a discount code that gave me another $30 off at checkout! ( Code is MAYSURV9 = 15% off even on sale items)



I LOVE this bedding and think it was a steal!

1/2 Way There!

Well, I'm 20 weeks preggo today and already counting the days! This pregnancy hasn't been easy so far, but the closer we get to October, the more excited I become. I adore my baby girl, and am soooo excited to bring this little guy home! I feel like he's already a part of things... so I'm happy to have reached the half way point! (And we are 95% sure we've settled on the name...)

GET $15 OFF at Sour Apple Studio

In celebration of the opening of Sour Apple Studio, I am thrilled to offer a $15 discount code to be used on the purchase of any custom blog design package, premade boutique template or custom web design package! Just enter this code at checkout:

APPLE15

Code valid from May 26- May 31, 2009.

Vegas Baby!

Just FYI- hotels on the strip in Vegas are really cheap right now (probably due to the 100 degree temps)! Eric and I are going next month when he gets home from Panama. I haven't been since high school, but I can't wait to show Eric the Coca-Cola Museum! You pay $2 for a small cup and then you can take coke right from the coke fountains and they have an international soda machine (at least that's what I remember).

Gambling? Nah. Coke Museum? Absolutely. Man, I sound dorky right now.

I also wanted to mention that I booked through expedia and used the code 10MAY to receive $10 off each night's stay... which made the already good deal just awesome. You have to use the code by May 31, but I am just so excited with myself for finding the code, and wanted to pass on the fun.

Sour Apple Studio!

For the past year I have thoroughly enjoyed creating custom blog designs for my wonderful clients! I have felt the urge, for quite some time now, to expand my little design business to offer custom website/e-commerce boutique designs, premade website templates, as well as custom blog designs.

I decided to change the name from LindseyJoy Design to Sour Apple Studio in order to start this newly expanded design business with a fresh, fun name. (Go ahead Chad... make fun) But I love my new name and think I'll keep it!

So while I wait for www.lindseyjoydesign.com to begin forwarding you to my new site, go ahead and just jump on over there and check it out!
