What I have been up too.

We have been busy.
This and that and more of this and that.



And then sickness hits all, but me. Knock on the wood for me.
I did how ever drop from total exhaustion. Now we are all doing better!


Once again knock on wood! It is snowing today!

Just wanted to post some things we have be doing.

KarLee and I have been having fun making these:

We went to Michael's one day and each picked some beads out.

My step mom made this one for KarLee, it has a cute charm, pair of sunglasses on it. Blackfoot just got a bead shop across the street from Les Schwab's. Stop bu there last Saturday, way cute charms for the watches. Have a watch making class on Saturdays for $5.

We enjoy making them,

if anyone would like to do this with us we would love too!

We 1st we had bought some watch faces online, quite a few month back.

($5.99 online)

Other happening:

Then one day(of the many days)we went to Home Depot, we found these stones.

And guess what? They match the one one on my porch.

These are sun faded, but the same.

So I was glad to find them and do something for a walk way.

Something to keep the dirt out, down.




We also picked up these stones for my flower beds. Love the way it looks!! Also love my new porch face lift-look!!!

We redid them after we destroyed when we dug up the yard, during the water issue-problem-new drain field ALL around our house. (do I still sound bitter?? sorry.)

AND Look what else.....................

I did take some very pretty pictures of some fall leaves.

When we went to Island Park.


Oh and

I have been making dinners, too! Trying lots of different things. I, we get tried of the some old thing. I love all the different recipes you can find!!

I loved this, and had fun with the kids making this dish.

You can find something that we make on this blog: http://busyfriendsrecipeswap.blogspot.com/.
And I post ideas I get from other here too, so you might see you own. (Robyn)


And the last nice wonderful warm day we did this.........




We spent a day picking apples. Alot of apples. 3 trees. 2 of the trees were exploding with apples!!! We have 7 trees. Thank goodness only 3 had apples.

But before we picked all those apples we did this

WE have plums.

The kids and I laughed so much as we picked these!
We moved the trampoline over to the trees and picked and jumped and picked, and ate!!
The plum tress are very much like rose bushes. The have very sharp spikes all over the branches?! I think they are santa rosa plums, delicious tart flavor.

Both of those days were fun with my family!!

And we (I should say Ryan and Robbie) finished this!!!! I was so very happy!!!!!! It looks awesome! Everything matches and looks so good!!!!

The shop and the house and this pump house!! Awesome!!!

Now Ryan has been working on this:



Painting and sheeting the ceiling of the shop. Thanks to his dad and Rusty for helping him. Half way done!! Lookin good!!


And Colby has been stacking.... and stacking, and Him and Ryan have been chopping away! Remember the tree we had to cut down?? Well here is the tree, this years fire wood!!!


And we bought this!! For our master bathroom! I have to tell ya, this is the first thing I have bought for my house, since.. since... Along time.

I love this, and so did Ryan. He hung it up for me and its wonderful!! Looks so good!

Ok I am done now. I have lots of other fun things we have been making and doing!! Will take more pictures later!! Have a good day!
