Starbucks treats

While waiting for Kevin to get off work, Joy and I snuck over to starbucks to enjoy some delicious snacks. We both got kids hot cocoas (don't judge,  they are delicous! Never too old for a small chocolately pick-me-up!) and we shared a slice of banana bread.

Merry Christmas

Sorry we have been M.I.A. Things have been pretty crazy around here! We promise to be better at updating, so keep your eye out for blog and vlog updates ;)

After Joy's Dr.'s appointment on Friday we went out to dinner at our favorite italian place "Gallianos Cucina". YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM! It was great to catch up and spend some time together

They had a big beautiful Christmas tree there so we decided to take a few pics...

Hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season!
Just remember that Jesus is the reason for the season!

Love,
Whitney & Joy

It's been too long!

It's been such a busy summer that we haven't had a chance to update our blog. So sorry!

Joy and I went out to dinner last friday to our favorite local spot, Azteca! We had a long week and decided to rewarded ourselves with yummy drinks and noms. We started off with beverages, pomegranate mojito for me and banana margarita for Joy (she ALWAYS orders that. I think it's strange, but she LOVES it. Who knows...).

We sipped on those and dove into a basket full of chips while we waited for our meals.

We had a great friday night and weekend and I hope everyone else did too!

Joys Birthday bash!

So sorry that this blog is late, the Krahner/Dobson/and soon to be Hart house has been busy busy busy!

I wanted to share photos with you from Joys birthday party and her surprise gift :)

My mom, sister-in-law Stephanie, and I had the fun idea of surprising Joy with a room makeover! It was much needed. First of all, none of her bedroom furniture matched. I know what you're thinking: Oh but the eclectic look is so nice and fun!.... No, not in this case. Next, her bed was too tall for her and far too small. She mentioned her back was hurting her and we knew that a new bed would do the trick. Lastly, she had no place to store all of her little things. If you know Joy, you know how she likes to collect many things. Papers, movies, popsicle sticks...you name it. She needed something with cubby's and shelves where she could keep these things, but they could also be out of sight.

We ventured off the Ikea (the promised land) and got to work! Stephanie has a natural ability to turn any room into a master piece! We were so thankful to have her there to help us do something special for Joy.

When Joy's actual birthday arrived, we started off the day by going to breakfast at the Buttered Biscuit in Sumner. (If you haven't been, please go. It's so delicious!) After that, Justin "kidnapped Joy" so we could get to work on her room.

After working on the room for a few hours, we went over the the Davis' to help set up for her party. We had a great turn out and everyone seemed to have a really good time, especially Joy!

Here's some pics of the party:

The party was so much fun! Joy was so happy that everyone took time out of their busy weekend to celebrate the big 4-0! A very special thank you for everyone that made this such a memorable day for her :) We love you all so much!

Joy spent the night at her sister's, which gave us plenty of time to finish up her gift. When Joy got home the next day there was a note for her at the front door...

and another note sitting on her NEW bed :) ...

Special thanks to:
Stephanie - For being a design goddess ;)
Mom - for coming up with the great idea and being so flexible the entire weekend.
Justin - For "kidnapping" Joy and making it her "best birthday ever".
Kevin - For toughing through your sickness and helping me set up the room like the trooper you are...Love you lots!
Auntie KK - For being the hostess with the mostest and letting all of us celebrate at your beautiful home.

Happy Birthday Joy!

Saturday May 14th was the lovely and talented Joy Krahner's 40th birthday! Over the hill? You betcha!

We had a "fiesta" themed birthday bash with overflowing margaritas, yummy taco bar, and good family/friends :)

Happy birthday girl!
We love you!

Interview starring Kristin Diettert

Kristin came to visit us from Spokane a little over a month ago and she had lots of questions to ask Joy. (Her and Joy go way back!) We took lots of different takes that night, as usual the more videos we did, the more random it became. This was the last one of the night... hope you enjoy ;)
