Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Happy Birthday Katie Mae-Yesterday!!!!

ok, so tonight i was getting all the stuff ready to make the sweat and sour sauce to can and i was cutting the onions and peppers and put the stuff down the drain. well needless to say i plugged the pipe. i was trying to fix the problem before i had to tell brent what i had done. i got the pipes undone with a bucket underneath and the water just pored out. aagghh!!!!! i filled up 2 bowls and there was still stuff coming out the pipe so i had to plug it and go get a bucket from the garage meanwhile i am yelling for brent who comes down in a panic. i fixed it myself but there was water and crap everywhere. anyways just thought that would give you a good laugh!!!

Strawberry Pie-YUM YUM

Well it is definitely that time of year for fresh berry pie and I could not resist. Thankfully my family doesn't mind either. Also I think I am finally getting photoshop!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!!

We went out to the Pancheri's for Father's Day. It is always fun because they have a farm and my kids love it.

Luke gets caught with a granola bar!!

I think luke was hungry!!! He got this by himself out of the pantry!!

Ryan turns 7!!!!

Well, Ryan is the big 7. Happy Birthday buddy!!! At what point does the mom get to cry? Ryan actually shares a b-day with my brother Brogan. It is so much fun to have he and his wife close. We had a popcorn/movie/ pj party with Ry's friends and went out to eat at Red Robin. Then today we went and rode horses with my Brogan and Ashley. 

I now remember what i loved the most about growing up!!!

 My horse, who never back talked and most of the time did what I said!

Well school is back in and i am not sure how i feel about it. i love having ry home even though we get on each others nerves. i miss having him around and sleeping in.

Happy New Year!!!!

Well I have to say I am definitely excited to get movin' on to 2009. Christmas was great. We spent time with Brent's Family in Cascade and then spent time with my family as well. Everyone from both sides was here so it was a blast. According to Ryan it was his best Christmas ever!!!!!! I even stayed close to my budget. New Years was great too. Brent and I stayed up till 3am playing rock band. I do not know how soon that will happen again. We were both tired but it was fun.
