Your never to old!

Your never to old to carve pumpkins! We had a blast the other night carving pumkins with Chantz and Jessica. . .but than again, we always have fun when we hang out with them! Don't mind John's pumpkin...he thought he was being funny! I told him that one wasn't going home with us. Chantz 's sister and brother-in-law live just down the street from them, so we deciede to pull a little prank. haha. We set John's lite pumpkin on their door step and than we "black person" knocked them. LOL!! It was SO fun! we all felt like high schoolers again. Crazy part was, when Andy (the bro-in-law) opened the door the neighbors black cat was sitting right next to the pumpkin. kind of creepy I know! haha! GOOD TIMES!

This is a wreath I made back in september. I loved how it turned out. I wanted to hang it outside, but I don't think it'll hold up to well on the outside of our camper.haha :) It was so easy to make and so cheap. Wreaths are so expensive these days, especailly the cute ones. I think I made this one for under $8.00! what a deal! haha, I love making things for cheap!

Addie's Baby

My old roomie, Addie, had her baby the 14th of Oct.

I made her a baby blanket. It was quiet the project...I deceide to machine quilt it...on my own. haha. It turned out better than I thought it would. I was quiet impressed!! If you look close enough at the picture you'll see the flowers that are quilted on.

She is such a cutie! ...I guess this means I have an excuse to go to rexburg more often to visit Addie and Nelissa!

TaKe a LoOk!

Good bye summer!

Well for us here in Idaho, summer is long gone! No more warm days. I'm sad in a way, but excited in another. This means it's that much closer to snowmobiling time! I ask john if i could get my sled out yesterday as the snow continued to fall, and he thought I was crazy. Soon enough though. But, it is hunting season time are we are deffinitly excited for that. We have been counting the days down.


John's already ahead of me on kills this year...Yup, he shot a Mt. Lion. Well, first it almost tried to take his life...but he killed it before it had the chance. Thank heavens! So in another couple months we'll have a Mt. Lion skin laying acrossed our couch. I'm not sure how i feel about that quiet yet. Those things already give me the hebegebies!!

My garden did great this year. I was queit proud. haha. My sweet corn was very small. I told John its baby size compared to the stuff i'm use to back in WA. . .haha, but thats what you getting when you live in Idaho. boo! haha





This is a picture of luke holding some of my cabbage. No
one really liked to eat it so it kind of over grew. . .

. . . but thats ok, cause i was able to shoot it with my new gun! It was seriously the coolest thing ever to watch get shot. haha! it exploded!

My latest creations!

Here are a few of my latest creations. I wish I had more time to craft. But i guess if i'd have anymore time, i'd need a bigger place to live. :) I've been quiet impressed with myself lately in what i've been able to make. I have learned to cut out blocks, make frames, and use all resourses to try and be creative! John keeps telling me that I can't make anything else until i start selling them. haha, he is crazy! :) Now if i was to tell him he can't kill anymore animals until he starts selling them he'd think i was crazy! Silly boy! I can't get this darn picture flipped around, but this is a wedding gift I made. I have made a few others lately but they have been in different colors.

This one is probably my favorite. I saw this saying and went from there. It is made entirely from scratch. To bad it doesn't fit in my camper! HAJohn and I were out huntin the other night right next to a grain field and knew it would make for a perfect decoration for fall. So, i took some :) This is very easy to make and super cute!This are the blocks my sister in law Brittany and I made while i was up visiting WA. I was able to take my cricut with me, I love told Brittany, who just bought one that she now has a new love in her life! It is so true! hahaha We had a lot of fun making them and can't wait to go home to WA again....maybe christmas blocks next time?

Fair Week

A couple weeks ago I drove up to Washington for a visit with my family. Come to find out they didn't want me to come up and be on "vacation" it was more to come up and work! haha. I was able to help out with fair week. My family has been showing animals for quiet some time now, and even though its a pain in the butt. . . deep down we all enjoy it! This was the start of the week, right before we took the pigs in , they got a little Bath. You can tell who is doing all the work....not the little one in the back ;)

Here is my sister Morgan and Alison showing there oinkers.

For the rodeo that was Wed-Sat, we hitched grandpas horses twice each night. The first was just a run through before the rodeo showing off the team. Than, the second time was in the middle of the rodeo, we gave rides out in the arena for those who received awards, so us as the crew had to run out there and hold horses while the people who received awards got their pictures taken. Thats why we are all matching. While we were holding horses, the rodeo clown was hitting on us, hahaha! :0)

What we've been up to...

It has been a rather busy summer and I haven't had much time to post the latest.
So here it is...
John turned a quarter of a century on the 22nd of June. I threw him a party and invited friends and family. It was a great turn out. We played the bag game and had lots of snacks and of course-John's favorite-Cheese cake.

For the 4th of July we went up to Washington for a quick visit. I was glad to get to go home even it was only for a short time. While there we went up to Couer d'alene for an Edler family reunion. We stayed at Triple Play one night, that is where they have the in door water park. That was lots of fun. Than the next two night we camped out by Silverwood theme and water park and went to silverwood for the 3rd and 4th.

Lately, John and I have enjoyed riding up Packsaddle and Playing on the rope swing. (its a place up in the Mts.)

Another thing we've enjoyed doing together this summer is fishing, we've gone quiet a few times and I usually catch more fish than John, but this last time we went up to South Leigh and John caught more than me :)

Aside from all of the fun stuff. We do work and not just play all the time. Even though life would be much funner that way. :0)
