Our new adventure

Yes it is true, we are selling Christmas trees!!!
Grand opening was yesterday on Black Friday and we will be open all month long until Christmas.

It is a very exciting new adventure and hoping for a good Christmas season.
If you are local, come and see our Christmas tree stand in the desert!

Enjoy your weekend!

Crafts I have been making

Here are some of the hats I have been making, aren`t they just too cute?

What we have been up to

Sorry I have been absent for some time, just seems that this time of the year there is so much to do and time is never enough.

Let me think what we have been up to.

This is definitely my favorite time of the year and there has been a lot of crafting and cooking and baking going on.It is finally getting autumn in the desert and the mornings are quite cold. Love it!

A very good friend of mine turned 40 this month and I had been putting a little party together for her and this is the cake I made.
I have so much fun baking and decorating that I sometimes wish I would be a pastry chef:




And then of course Thanksgiving last week.
We had a wonderful day of just hanging out, crafting a bit, cooking, eating, taking pics, going for a walk and enjoying the family time.

Kids with our Mr Gobble, they were quite disgusted when I took the neck and giblets out (so was I actually..ha ha)

Even though Halloween is long gone my lil man still loves his Batman costume. It is starting to rip everywhere, but he doesn`t care...

Yummy pumpkin muffins we made..

Some pictures outside..

Trying for that Christmas card shot...

...and here he is.. ta-dah.....gobble gobble..

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!

Happy birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!

Love you more than anything!

54 minutes and 18 seconds

That is the time I ran the Bisbee 1000!!!
I am quite happy with the result and it felt just AMAZING! I was on such an adrenalin rush that I was almost disappointed it was over.

And running it with the great group of ladies I am working out with made it extraspecial.

Now I just need to decide if I am going to sign up for a half marathon in January???
Could I possibly do it??

Horseback riding

Since we live in the wild west now farms and horses and horse back riding are part of everyday life. So we had to do it too... horseback riding I mean.

Some good friends of ours took us with them to check it out and the kids absolutely loved it. And they were so good at it too. Little Miss N looked like she has been in the saddle since she is born and the lil man had no fear at all.

I guess my kids have the western blood already in them. Me not so much yet.But I wore my cowboy boots for the first time and soon maybe soon I will be on that horse too... we`ll see :)

We decided to have Calan`s 4th bday party at the ranch and make it a cowboy rodeo party. Oh I am soo excited already and have all these cute ideas in my head to make it perfect.Matching plates and napkins and goodie bages... I need to stop, I can`t take on more projects, my head is spinning.. but oh the possibilities...

Enjoy your weekend... make it a western kind of day :)
