The Hardy Party

Brandon has made a request that I try to bring our blog back to life so once again I will try. . .no promises but I will do my best! Spring is here and we are loving being outside all the time! I can't keep my kids in the house!

Also I should announce that I jumped on the Etsy bandwagon. . .a few years late I know :). . .listing some felt flower bows I like to make. I listed 2 tonight and will list more tomorrow. . .look up hillyhardy!

Hope all has been well in the bloggin world, I look forward to catching up and trying to open up my blog to a little more than just my family. . .hopefully a few fun house projects and crafting things will find there way here as well.

I think the best way to mark my return to blogging is to post about our latest trip. Last weekend we snuck over to the coast to visit one of our favorite places, Santa Cruz. SC holds lots of memories for the Hardy Party including our engagement and honeymoon. We love to take our kids there. Highlights from the trip include Manresa state beach, the famous Santa Cruz beach Boardwalk, driving down Highway 1, the amazing produce stands (from which we consumed abundant amounts of apricots, toffee peanuts, cherries, peaches, roasted almonds, and a bag of fresh garlic pistachios which were sooooo good I wish had some right now!) the monterey bay aquarium, and dennis the menace park. Here are a few of my favorite pics from the weekend.

After my years sabbatical just checking to see if the blogging world is still alive and well! I have decided that I will rejoin in a quest to document the happenings of the Hardy Party once again!

Alright so I'm really behind on our blog (pregnancy will do that to a woman) but I just loaded all 700 pictures from our camera so I will try and start where I left off.
