Just for fun!!

Not much has been happening around here so here are some pictures we have taken for fun. Oh on Saturday though Tessa and her dad went fishing. They left at noon and were gone most of the day. When they came home they had 4 good sized fish. When I asked Tessa if she had fun catching the fish she told me that she didn't catch any. So I asked Russ about catching the fish and he told me it pays to have a cute daughter. See he had been fishing all day and caught nothing and right before we was about to give up and come home an older couple come up in their boat and start talking to Tessa and a little girl Mary that had become fast friends. The older guy said they were cute and asked the parents if they would like some fish because they had a ton. Who needs boys to go fishing with when they are just given to your girls. :) When it came to gutting them Tessa wanted to help but thought it was really gross. We all enjoyed eating them though!!

Happy 30th Russ!!!

We just had a nice day together. We went out shooting and exploring some of the country. You could never tell by the cake that my mom is a professional and that she didn't pass it on to me.

First Day!!

Today was Tessa's first day of Preschool. She did a wonderful job even though she told me she missed me and almost cried. I did cry when I was on my way home and I sat around like a lost puppy. Hopefully I will find myself this week and get things done during that time. She told me she got a bee sting but we have yet to find it. She can't wait to go back tomorrow.

Catch up!

We went and spent a week in Wyoming and had a great time. I got the urge to make more bows and showed by best friend Mandy how to do it and we went wild. I wish I was younger & a I could have stayed up later making them. When we pulled up to grandma's house this is what we found.

So the girls spent as much time as the weather and schedules would allow. Here is Lexi playing with grandpa. He loves to spoil his girls. He has so many of them.

I have to admit the reason that I have not been posting is that I am trying so hard to finish Breaking Dawn. I just finished The Host yesterday. I have also been trying to keep up with housework so it has been a little busy. We just got back from Kanab this weekend and went there for Western Legends. I am kicking myself that I did not take my camera to the concert but I had my phone so as soon as I figure out how to get those off I will post pictures of Russ & Ian Tyson. It was really fun.

Country Living!

These are some of the benefits of country living. Besides smells that you just can't figure out where they came from in the house and since it has been raining there is nothing more refreshing than a deep breath of rain air that smell like wet manure. We have had a skunk smell at our house for a few weeks now and silly me just thought that some lived near by. Well on Saturday I was cleaning out around the house and in the window well I found dead skunk. Russ scooped it out with a shovel and being the man that he is had to share the sight and smell with me. SO being who I am I just had to get a picture to blog it and share it all with you. I wish you could have smelled it. Oh and if you look at the picture close, yes that is 2 skunks close together. I am happy to say that Febreeze took care of the smell that lingered. ALso last week while my mom was visiting we had another visitor in the house. A centipede. Now the picture does not do him justice. He is at least 3-4 inches long and fell off the counter next to the freezer which I was digging in at the time. My mom can still run really fast when I let out a blood curdling scream like I did. With joint effort (mostly Mom) we got the sucker caught and I let him whiff the alcohol off my cotton ball. Then last night before bed I found another one on the wall by the girls room. Needless to say we should see the bug man in the next few days to hopefully give us a break and a nights rest. Thanks MOM!!

THis is me trying my hand at being crafty. This was my first time working with fondant and it was quite the test. Then I thought that if everyone else was making hair bows I could do it to and now I am hooked.
