8 Things you probably don't know about me.....

Thanks to Robin, I have been tagged ;-). I am not near as exciting as she is, but thanks to her I now have "Friends are Friends Forever" stuck in my head, actually I think it was more like "Foreva", if I remember correctly! ;-) Ok, so here it goes.....

1. I will spend hours on the internet reading sites about dogs.

2. I hate the way babies look in bibs, to the point I would rather clean spit-up clothes than put a bib on her. (this drives Tom crazy, by the way)

3. I love the mountains, would move there in a heartbeat, but have no desire to ski!

4. I love Oreos and milk so much I have actually eaten myself sick on them. Recently. ;-)

5. My own husband never reads my blog! (maybe he will now, haha)

6. Um, um, let me look at Robin's again and see if it sparks any thoughts.......

7. I won rabbit showmanship 2 years in a row in 4-H in high school (if that wasn't bad enough, the prize was a massive gold and silver belt buckle that I actually wore...often -- and I still like it, although I don't wear it).

8. I don't like artificially flavored peach, or grape. I love cherry flavoring!

Ok, I made it to 8! Well, OK I fudged on 6, but I am completely blank, and you want this to be over too I am sure!

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Dreaming of a White.........Thanksgiving?



The above photo is of our backyard at 7:30am Thanksgiving morning! The below photo is of our backyard at about 3:30 pm!!! We got about 6-8 inches of snow! It literally snowed all day, and it has snowed a little today, amazing! I think the last time I saw snow like this at my home was when I was about 6! Wow! The girls were amazed and loved playing in it! They also love having the dogs in the house! Ahh! ;-)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ok, the only problem with having a blog is that it means you think your life is exciting enough to post something new every so often. Well, mine isn't. I could go on and on about cooking, cleaning, laundry, diapers and the dog digging up the water pipe. But, I am not even that interested in all that, let alone my friends and family! ;-)

Anyways, we will be here at home for Thanksgiving this year. I am going to be attempting to cook the meal! I am excited to get to try with no pressure. Maybe someday we can host! The girls are excited and say they are going to help!

Tom's busy season should slow down soon (or at least that is what the rumor is...), so maybe we will make it to Christmas! That was our short-term goal, just survive until Christmas!

Congrats to Dad on his Big Buck this week! 9 points with 3 kickers/ringers (if you don't know what that means -- essentially 12 points to those of us who don't hunt :). All that sitting up in a tree paid off big! ;-)

Have a great Thanksgiving!!!!!

Thanks for the good times!!!!!!

Ok, I am tired today.
After a fun-filled week of visiting family and going to "The Big City" I'm tired. But, we had a great time! Christmas shopping is well under way, I have had my fix of Starbucks and real restaurants (and Mom's French toast). By the way, if you want the best French toast in the world, go to my Mom's house -- I am totally biased, but if you have it, you'll know, it is the best ever made! It's worth driving 8+ hours in a car with 3 kids 4 and under to get! ;-)

AND we saw trees! Ahhh.... It's nice every once in a while to see trees and hills!

Thanks B for letting us hang in your adorable apartment! And, for the movies we pilfered. ;-) It was great -- the girls loved the "Belle" movie I think we might rent that tonight! Uncle Scott & Aunt B are the coolest thing since sliced bread!

So, I am off to unpack, drink more coffee and be as quiet as possible so everyone will keep sleeping until I am ready to face today!!!!!
