Sam's Ears

Sam got her ears pierced a few weeks ago. She had a 15$ gift card from one of her friends and had been begging me to let her get her ears pierced.

South Dakota Christmas - Birthday etc

Christmas/Birthday in South Dakota -

We left early for SD because Troys Grandfather passed away. Luckily we were ahead of the storm, which left us completely snowed in for 2.5 days. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day & my Birthday. We were unable to leave the house :)

Christmas Tree

Troy helped us pick out & set up our Christmas Tree. This is the first time we have had a live tree pretty much ever. Sam was a big help and even strung lights on the deck this morning.


Superstar wants to help.


My blue eyed hotty.









I have the feeling that I will be doing a lot of this!

Thanksgiving 2009 - Deer Hunting in South Dakota

:) My first deer hunting trip in South Dakota. Thanksgiving day we were out from dawn till dusk and I shot my first deer. Went out again on Saturday - Troy's birthday. He shot a nice buck.

Watch video here of our hunt on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTwfoZuPeHc
- He just wouldn't give up the ghost.


My first doe.


Travis & Troy


Wearing my new Carhartt bibs - At least I'm warm!







The buck ended up running to the bottom of the ravine. Troy & I had to drag him quite a ways back up as the truck couldn't navigate the terrain. Too bad we didn't have enough rope in the truck....ahem.



A nice 4x4 Birthday Buck.





Superstar was scared of all the Monsters in South Dakota. So tired on the ride home. Big & Little :) Who would know they were twins?

Samanthas 12th Birthday

Samanthas Birthday lasted the entire weekend.
We started out on Friday with a sleepover - 4 of her closest friends screaming and giggling until at least 2:30am. I did go in around 2:15 and ask them what part of shut the hell up they didn't understand.

Saturday was Twilight Movie day.

Sunday we had Sam's requested meal:
Roast, Potatoes, Carrots, Green Bean Casserole, Brown & Serve Rolls & Cherry Pie.

Quilts

A few pics of quilts I made.
