MeRrY ChRiStMaS!!

I thought my Christmas was GREAT because I got the camera I wanted...I was floored when we went up to Derick's parents house on Christmas Eve and received yet another gift!! I started crying because I hadn't expected anything like this...

This is my new saddle :) !!!! I'm so excited to go use it!! I've never had my own saddle, so this is a first for sure, and my momma-in-law had never had her own either, so......

She got one too! I wanted a light saddle (cause I'm a wuss and can't throw a saddle very high)...so mine is a barrel saddle, and hers is a pleasure saddle. They'll look so good on our babies!

Early Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap! So, Derick made me open my Christmas presents early tonight....LOOK WHAT I GOT!!!!! You can also see Derick's new toy in the background (chopper)...he's out in the garage with the neighbor right now trying to figure it out!

Happy Halloween

This is cooper's first Halloween with us, so he is officially our "pumpkin" now!!

Peanut Butter Carmel Corn

I got this recipe from a lady I work with. I made some today, and it may be a new favorite treat!! You gotta try it...it's yummy and it doesn't take that long!

Ingredients:
15 cups air-popped popcorn
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter (you can use creamy, or chunky...I like the chunky personally)

pop your popcorn and set aside in a large bowl. In a sauce pan combine sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter. Allow it to get hot enough to slightly boil, but be careful not to scorch it. Let it lightly boil until it almost has the consistency of caramel and remove from heat. Pour it over your popcorn, and mix well through the entire bowl. Serve while still slightly warm...or you can also put it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it again so it's soft. I haven't tried to make these into popcorn balls yet, but I think I might try it with my next batch :) ENJOY!

6 random facts about me (gee thanks amy!)

I got tagged by Amy...so here's six random facts about me:

1. It drives me crazy to not finish things...so I end up staying late, or spending far too much time trying to finish my project at the time.

2. Christmas & Halloween are my two favorite holidays (I've had my house decorated for Halloween since the first of September)...with the 4th of July coming in at third place.

3. I have issues with jumping around on hobbies. I get into something and go gung-ho, then I get burned out...so I have a ton of different hobbies...yet if you were to ask me what my hobbies are, I would have no idea what to tell you. I feel like I don't really have any?! Odd...I know.

4. I have turned into a freak about having my house clean. It use to annoy me so bad when my mom would have to have the house clean from top to bottom...and now I'm the same way!

5. I love to be a hermit at home. People give me crap because I never go out anywhere...what can I say?! I like being at home!

6. I hated to read books until I got into college. I don't think I ever finished a book before I was in college. I started reading because I was broke and didn't have the money to go do anything...so I'd escape into a make-believe world in writing. Now I absolutely love it!!!

Bath Time

Since he went and got himself all DiRtY...he had to have a bath! He actually does great in the tub. You tell him it's time for a bath and he'll go move the shower curtain with his nose and jump right in. He doesn't LOVE bath time by any means, but he's so tolerable of me getting him all clean and shiny again...

And of course after a long day like today...it's nap time with his hedgehog!

Coop goes "diggin"

I put Cooper outside for a few minutes...and he just HAS to make a mess!! Then he looks at me like..."Who me?? I didn't do anything!"

You can't help but love that puppy face though....Cornerstone Cooperstown (Staffordshire Bull Terrier), 11 months old

The Wedding

May 31, 2008: Getting ready was so fun...Amy, Kassy & I all got ready together in the brides room at Kokopelli Park. Ayden was so handsome in his tux. He was running around in his diaper until about 10 minutes before the wedding. I figured he'd be a lot less happy with wearing it than he actually was. He did an amazing job.
