Saturday, November 7, 2009
Baby Seth is actually a whole year old...time flies!!! And I don't care if he is one year..he will always be "Baby" Seth to me!! His party is later today, I can't wait to post the present that the Farmer and I got him!! Until then, enjoy his one year portraits by Southern Belle Portraiture! I also got a few shots of big brother, Asher, and even a couple of the little cuties together!!! In case you didn't get the memo, these are my newest nephews! The Farmer's brother and sister-in-laws boys! :)
My Latest Concotion!!
Thursday, November 5, 2009
So there is no official recipe for this baked pasta concoction...I just really wanted to use my Fiesta Au gratin dishes!! I only have 4, the colors don't really go together (plum, evergreen, sunflower, and lemongrass) So, Santa if you are reading this...I would like to add Scarlet (red), Shamrock (green), Tangerine (orange), and Peacock (turquoise) Fiesta Au gratin dishes to my wish list!! :)
So here's what I did...Start with boiling the pasta, whatever you have will work! Then I melted 1 stick of butter, 1 package of cream cheese, 6 oz of Parmesan, and 2 cups of milk. Then add some pepper and 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. I added onions and chicken too!! But you can add mushrooms or whatever you like!! Then you mix the sauce with the pasta, then put your mixture into the baking dishes and cover with mozzarella cheese!!! Bake at 350 for 25 minutes!! Soo yummy!! :)

Wyoming Bound!!
Wednesday, November 4, 2009
One week from today my Daddy is coming up to Iowa and we are going on a Wyoming adventure...I am SOOOO excited!!!
This is a shot of me and Daddy at Yellowstone, when I still lived in Montana!
Now, back to the Yellowstone adventure from '06...My whole family came up from Mississippi for our summer vacation, my soul mission was to see a moose...and I thought I had! We were driving along and all of sudden I see this "animal" laying by a lake!! Moose love water!! I screamed STOP THE VEHICLE...IT'S A MOOSE!!! Daddy did accordingly, I jumped out, had a photo shoot with it (see pic below) Only to get back in the truck and have my family inform me that it was in fact a lousy elk, the likes of whom I had seen plenty...I was devastated, I wanted to know why they even told me at all...their answer: we didn't want you to look like a moron when you showed the picture off!!! Well at least they were thinking of me...hehe!
In '07 we went to Glacier National Park for our Family Vacay! Surely I would see a moose there!! Sadly, no...
This is a shot of me and Daddy at Yellowstone, when I still lived in Montana!This is our Wyoming Adventure travel route:
We are going to see a lot of things in 6 days!!
1. First we will drive through the Badlands National Park
2. The next stop on the list is Wall Drug in Wall, SD
3. Mt. Rushmore
4. Crazy Horse Memorial and museums at the memorial
5. Deadwood, SD...we will spend our first night here!! It is one of my favorite places, soo historic!!
6. On Thursday morning we will get up and drive to Dubois, WY, stopping at Hot Springs County Museum and Cultural Center in Thermopolis, WY on the way.
7. On Friday morning we are going on a tour to see the big horn sheep in rut (see pic below!)
This is the info about the tour: The tours start at 9:00 AM and can last up to 5 hours but average 3 to 4. Binoculars and spotting scopes are provided. Be sure to bring your camera. The longer the lens the better your photographs will be.
The Whiskey Mountain Habitat Area, the primary winter range of the bighorn sheep, is open wind-swept country. Dressing in layers is strongly advised, paying particular attention to head, hands and feet. You may wish to bring your own sack lunch and perhaps a hot beverage. There are several restaurants in Dubois that can also pack you a sack lunch.
Should I be worried?!?!?! I'm an indoor girl!!!

Turkey Supper!!!
Tuesday, November 3, 2009
Tonight the Annual Turkey Supper that out church puts on! I'm soo excited...the Farmer has talked about this ever since we met, but this is the first time I have lived in town and been able to go!! I signed up to make dessert, and after a few pointers from my friend Kate, I decided to make Carrot Raisin Bars and Praline Pumpkin Dessert! I got both recipes from the Betty Crocker Website and they were SUPER easy!!! I hope they taste as yummy as they smelled when they were baking!! :)
