He caved!!! :)

We opened our presents today when the Farmer came home for lunch!! It didn't take a ton of persuading since he had no clue what his present was and secretly was dying to open it! Of course that's just my observation..hehe!! Today is also day 100 of our marriage!!! Wow, I can't believe it's already been 100 days! Anywho back to the loot...don't you love the pink and green presents!! I have my JOY sign and some Christmas ball vase decorations up in my office....I can't wait to decorate the whole house!!!

gifts!

Don't you love the pink and green gift tags I found?!?!

I went first! Duh! :)

Sooo excited...what could it be?!?!?! Yes, I am wearing sweat pants! I work from home, give me a break :)

Yes!! Just what I always wanted! A custom camera/lens bag made just for me!!! :)

Don't you love the pattern?!?! It looks soo western :)
If you are dying to have one too, check out the Xcessrize's Shop on ETSY!! She does amazing work!!

Check out the inside...my camera goes in the middle, and I have room for two more lenses!!! tehehe!

Now it's the Farmer's turn!!! He loved the wrapping ;)

opening!!!

Smiling!!!

It's a Garmin!!!

And he loves it!! He wouldn't even leave it here for me to play with!! He took it back to work with him :( Oh well...I guess it is his present after all, and he knows I have to finish my publication and it would just be a major distraction!

The good news is, he agreed to let me take it on the Wyoming Adventure...now there is no telling what Daddy and I will get into!! Woohoo!!

Soo glad he liked it!! He is the hardest boy in the world to shop for!!!

Merry Christmas To All.....46 days early!!! :)

Ramblings!!

I was just sitting here checking my facebook before we head to Bible Study, and I thought I would write another quick blog!! :) I am soo excited for my Daddy to get here, he keeps asking if I have plenty of film for my camera...I keep reminding him that it is digital and with a 2 gig card and two 1 gig back-up cards, we should be good to go!!! hehe!

I have cleaned the guest room, I really wish I had taken some before and after shots!! Before, it looked like our wedding threw up in there...now it looks very clean and organized!!! I just have to get the rest of the house cleaned now!

I have to finish up a publication for work before I leave, so I will be busy on Monday and Tuesday! I was going to pack tonight, but I think I will just wait until tomorrow night since I still need to wash clothes!!

I am trying to talk the Farmer into opening our Christmas presents for each other before I leave for Wyoming!! He got me one of these amazing custom camera bags:

I'll show you the pattern I picked out, when I actually get it!!! Stay tuned to see if we have to wait until Dec. 25th or not!?!?! :)

Sunday Breakfast!

This morning I woke up and decided to make breakfast!! We usually just have cereal, but I was in a cooking mood...an un-healthy cooking mood!!! I have been telling the Farmer about my Momma's Donuts for awhile, but I haven't had the chance to make them...I figured this morning was perfect! All you need is a can of biscuits, powdered sugar, and oil!! It helps to have a little round cutter for donut holes, but after a quick call to Momma, I discovered the top off the Worcestershire Bottle works just fine! I have to admit I didn't have the oil heated quite right and they were a little gooey in the middle, but the Farmer ate them up anyway!

I'll just let the pictures do the talking!

MMMM...it doesn't get much better than Momma's donuts!!! We used to have them on Saturday mornings and special occasions, now she always makes them when all us kids are home..these and the Carraway Pancakes!!! MMMmmmm good! Can't wait for Christmas!! :)

Birthday Fun!

Now that we have given Seth his gift, I can show it to you!! You never know if he reads this blog or not :)

I found the tray, stencil, and paints at Hobby Lobby (where else?)...

I painted his name on first..I put little black lines around the letters, so it kind of looks like blue jeans!!

Then I stenciled on the farm animals...I ended up using paint pens mostly, it wasn't as even as I wanted it to be...but he's only 1, so maybe he wont hold it against me!!
