Introducing....

SHOWA! Here are some pics of Showa at Cow Camp this last week. She did great and helped Grandpa cover a lot of ground looking for cows. She didn't mind the snow and the mud. She loves carrots and apples. She doesn't like dogs--oops!--not a good thing in this family of dog lovers!! She liked being in Colorado and likes Utah even better. Today she meets Gunn, Uncle Jared's horse, as she comes back from Colorado to Utah to live in Ioka. She is a VERY tall horse and is very gentle and easy going. She doesn't like to have her neck petted and patted in anyway but otherwise likes her nose scratched. Thanks for the name, B. It's a good one and will serve her well. Welcome to the fam, Showa!

Christmas Dresses

We ordered the girls Christmas dresses tonight. I'm soooo excited to see pictures of all our little divas in these dresses. I absolutely adore these dresses. Maybe cuz they're red and have cute little polka dots all over! Just thought the girls might like to see what they will be styling this holiday season.

Porch Pumpkins

I made these pumpkins with some leftover 4x4s that we had. I thought they would be cute on my porch and cheaper than buying real pumpkins too. Pumpkins here are $5 each this year -- a little too spendy for me when I just toss them out when I put out my Christmas stuff. Anyway, Dad made fun of me cuz they are square and pumpkins aren't square in real life but who cares! I think they're cute and tons cheaper than the real thing. Besides, I can use them again and again and again. Men!! What do they know?!

Look what I made!

I decided to make myself a new bag for church. It turned out pretty cute. What do you think? I want to make one for Thanksgiving with a turkey on it. My ambitions don't always lead to finished projects tho! By the way, this bag is made out of a tea towel! Pretty cheap project as I had less than $4.00 into it! It went together really fast as well since there was very little machine sewing cuz all the edges were pre finished. Gotta love those tea towels!

We have...........

SNOW!! We woke up this morning to snow. Yesterday it was 85 degrees and today it is only 47 with rain and snow showers. I like the cooler weather just thought that we would have a little more time to go from hot to cool. Love the snow on the mountains though. When I first saw it this morning, it really took my breath away. We live in such a beautiful part of the world! Check out the orange foliage against the white snow. I LOVE Utah this time of year!

We have a Winner!!!!

And the winner is.........PAISLEY ANN!!! Her choice for a name was Puffy Pickelicious Bearenstein Salamandar. Congratulations Paisley. Grandma will get your prize in the mail to you. Thanks for all your enteries and name suggestions. They were all good and John had to think long and hard about the winning name. By the way, Puffy Pickleicious now lives at Syracuse Junior High in the Science Class of Doug Sill. They kids are treating him well and he is reported to be VERY happy there! Glad he has a good home and is no longer living in the window well of my office.
