Our new arrivals...and a new FIRST!

I hope nobody got too excited...we don't have any kind of a BIG announcement to make, but looky what arrived at our house last week...

So may high tech buttons...

We got the best deal on these! They were normally $750 each, but were on sale for $900 for the set. We didn't really need a washer and dryer, so we were doing the usual debating back and forth, but then we noticed that there was a $100 rebate to our local power company, we thought...what the heck? So they ended up around $400 each - I thought it was a steal! They are so quiet and a lot more gentle on our clothes...not to mention "energy efficient".

Also this last week Ronnie and I had our first taste of...

DEER! Ronnie (the crazy boy) actually stood out in the snow and barbequed these deer tenderloins for us (I think they are technically called venison tenderloins, but it's not as easy to say), and I must admit that they were really not that bad! I was expecting much worst, but I think that I will actually be able to stomach it...yeah for me! I just have to try and not think about that poor little guy hanging in my garage...:(

November in a nutshell


The last couple of years Ronnie has really been into hunting and gets excited every year when the season comes around...he never has a lot of time to squeeze it in, and up until this year has never actually shot anything, so I would tease him and say that he wasn't a "hunter" he was more of an "armed hiker" Well, I can't say that anymore! He finally got his first deer! He shot it right through the lungs with his bow and arrow (that's got to be hard, I can't even pull the dang thing back!)
Here a picture of him with...wait...were'd he go???????????

and here's the poor little guy...it was dark when he shot it, so he had to go back the next morning for it. He originally thought it was a doe, but when they found it the next day, it was a little buck! He's a little thing, but when you're nearing the last days of hunting season and you still haven't shot anything, you start to be a little less picky...he'll be just fine for our little family.

Ok, I'll be the first to admit that I have never read the Twilight books - I know! I'll get around to it someday, but I'm not going to be a party pooper when all of the girls decide to go and see it...I mean, who wouldn't want to stand in line outside for an hour in the FREAKIN' freezing Idaho weather?

I actually really enjoyed it, I just love these girlies...they are so fun to hang with!



Thanks Ashley, Stacy, Ingrid, & Angie for an awesome time!

Let's see, what am I missing...oh yes...some yummy grubbin'!

Most people would think that I'm not a big Thanksgiving person - I don't really like Turkey or Pumpkin Pie...I know, a little crazy! But I really do love Thanksgiving, I love the family time, playing games, catching up, reflecting on all of the things that are really important. Each Thanksgiving I'm reminded a little more of how much my Heavenly Father has blessed me in this life, I am so thankful for every little thing that I've been given and hope that I will never take anything for granted. Here is my awesome family...I am thankful for every single one of them - Love you guys!

Little Gwenie just melts my heart! Ronnie and I always say "I love you more" to each other, so a little while ago I told Gwen that I love her "more" and now every time I say it she tell me "I love you...more" she thinks it's really funny. What a dolly!

Here's a picture of little Phoebe, she's growing up so fast, and actually kinda likes me a little now!

After we ate lunch at my parent's in Soda Springs, we drove back to Idaho Falls to spend some time with Ronnie's family...it looks like someone had a long day...sweet Amarrah was just pooped!

I hope everyone had an AWESOME November!
