Got the bathroom painted this weekend.

Warm Gingerbread.

I'm lovin' it!

Thank you Tim.

I'm lovin' you too!

Picking out the tree...

Persimmons, Fuju Persimmons, Oranges, Plums, Almonds,

Brown Pears, Pomegranets, Mimosas, Olives, and Lemons!!!

Black Friday!

If the parking lot is full, just park on the grass...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tim, Landon and I helped out at the

 Home Alone Thanksgiving Dinner at the church today.

We are so blessed!

It's baaaaack.....

The best thirty bucks I ever spent!
Picked up this handy dandy toy shelf at Menards.
Sure does make clean up time easier for the little ones.

I did it!!!!

(Fellas, it's a mamogram machine.)

Road Trip!
Tim and I stayed at the Spirit Lake Casino in Devil's Lake Friday night.
Then Saturday morning we did a purse party in Rolla, on an Indian Reservation right by the Canadian border!
It was a great weekend.

Tearin' it up!
Landon loves helping his grandpa Al in his shed.

Turkey Bingo!
Landon won a turkey at Turkey Bingo last night. :)

The Siegel kids rockin' the man cave!

Just a quick note....
For some reason, my blog site has changed it's format. I am guessing it updated itself. So, now when you click on a picture for a closer view, it isn't much closer. I am trying to figure out how to fix this, so don't worry...it isn't you, it's the blog!
Have a great day!

Crazy pumpkin killer on the loose?

Nope. Just hungry squirrels.

Bye, bye pumpkins!

Landon thinks our new chair is the perfect reading spot! :)

My aunt IdaMae, sent Landon a pomegranete from California.

He loved it!

When you can see the elevator and the watertower,

then you know you are almost home.

Tim's brother Shaun, got a deer last night.

Tim took the pictures.

The tongue adds a nice touch, don't ya think? ;)

Family Traditions.

These tiny little white plates are candle plates.

They hold many wonderful memories of Christmas spent as a little girl at my grandparents.

Every Christmas Eve after church we would gather around my grandparents big dinning room table. We would hold hands, say grace and then enjoy our Christmas meal by candle light.

Each person had a tiny white plate that held a little birthday candle. The candle was to honor Jesus's birthday, but my grandma knew how to put a little fun into it too. She said that the person's candle who stayed lit the longest was the winner. If you were married you would be the next person in the group to live the longest. If you were single, you would be the next person in the group to get married. I just loved it when my candle would last the longest! We have a few little traditions that Tim and I do with Landon, and I hope he will look back on his childhood someday with great memories too.

I'm leaving, on a jet plane....

Happy 1st Birthday Evan!

Oh dear.....I mean, OH DEER!

Landon can hardly wipe the silly grin off his face. lol

My new business adventure.

I may be getting out of the "home" purse parties

and joining the Gingerbread gang!

(Don't worry Dc families. These events are on weekends.

I won't be quiting Dc, unless I hit the powerball that is!) :) :) :)

Jack Frost!

Check out the sweet seat I snagged at the craft fair!

Whoo hooo! That's a whole lot of fire for one little marshmallow!

Did you know that you can borrow

tons of cool music from your local library?

I borrowed Christmas music for the craft fair this weekend. :)

Good stuff.
(Click on the picture to read the words on the can)

My dad.

So many of my childhood memories involve hammers and tools.

Landon spent two days helping "build" and didn't want to come home!

I love that.

Our limo sure does come in handy!

Now you see them. Now you don't.

Got a little snow the other day, we did.
