To many parties soooo little time!

Some peace, love and joy! Mixed in with some crabbiness:) Dad got a hat from Sam and Mom got what looks like a snuggie but its not! (it s a bathrobe on backwards) The teens enjoyed singing carols for their gifts...NOT! And of course...TONS of great food.

My crazy love for FB...

IF you are my friend on Facebook you know my deep dark secret. I love it! Now you won't find me fertilizing my farm or giving gifts or playing any games(I don't like games) But I love to say what I am doing and for some dumb reason I love to see what you all are doing! I really try to be funny most of the time. I do not usually post if I have a cold and feel like poop. I am not a fan of giving the gory details...just enough to make you wonder:) NOW...don't you want to be my friend?

My year in Status....

I wish it included ALL of them:) I will make this into a scrapbook page. Thanks for the tip Jerrie. The first blogger I ever knew.

Mails here!

One of my favorite things is getting the mail this time of year. I cherish all the cards that come our way. Its fun to see the pictures and everyones ideas. I just love it!

All our doggie friends!

Eddie and Charlie wanted to send holiday wishes to their friends. So we helped them because actually neither of them have very good penmanship. Those are some handsome dogs!

Man cave makeover.

Well if you have been out here before you have heard of the man cave. I am not going to reveal their area even though we did a major clean down there. But I have collected allot of interesting props and they where all piled up in a corner. IDEA! Create a space from them. After all I have nothing better to do-HA! For your viewing pleasure here is the before...


And here is the after...



Well what do you think? What shall we call this area? Sorry about the crappy picture quality but I was to lazy to get my big camera out:)
Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Tree Farm Tradition

Most years Hana and Bill have gone to get the tree. This year Bill is working in Eastern WA so we needed to relieve him from that job. Im sure he is very sad about it! So Levi and Meagan, Hana and I OH! and Eddie and Charlie set out to find the perfect tree. It was cold and almost dark. We love the little self serve-u-cut place Kathi told us about. Nice tree at a good price! (it's on the Van Dyk Rd) Now to go home and make it pretty.
Thanks for stopping by!
