A Day At Doreens!

A few weeks ago my Moms good friend Doreen invited us out to her house in Fruitland, ID for lunch. It was the week of my Mom's BIG birthday. As soon as Layci got out of school we went out there. She has the most beautiful property you have ever seen. She has a huge garden and a beautiful pond. Her yard is so pretty. She raises chickens. Layci thought they were so cute. She was having a fun time watching them and holding the baby chicks.
This is her pond. She has tons of Coy fish in her pond. They were intrigued with Layci, everytime she would come over to the edge they would swim to where she was. I think it was the bright pink lipstick myself! We sat out by the pond and ate the best homemade Salsa. It was sooo yummy!
Layci even got to pet her Bunny. I think Lala had a fun day that day. She keeps asking me when she gets to go back! Anytime Doreen wants to invite us for lunch, Im there. She is an amazing cook!
My Mom was even excited to hold the baby Chicks! Kathy, this picture is especially for you!

The McKnight Broncos!!!!!!!!!

McKnight Broncos

This Is Dylans Football Team. They are called the McKnight Broncos. Dylan is really enjoying it this year. He is actually getting to play alot this year. I am really proud of him. He is #88. He has been playing strong safety. It has been a blast watching him this year. His team has been working really hard too.

I Did It!

I Am so proud of myself. A few weeks ago, Mom, Traci and I decided to do a little canning. This was my first time doing this. I made strawberry freezer jam last year, but I have never canned jam or peaches. It was a fun, rewarding and very messy process. It actually was alot of fun! Next year, I plan to can everything under the sun! Just kidding. Not enough hours in the day! I barely had time to do all of these. We made 64 quarts of peaches and I dont even know how much jam.

So So Busy!!!!

I have not been able to post anything for awhile. I have been crazy busy here. You know my life, always something going on! Between Football, Hair appointments, and helping my Mom get ready for HUGE shows, I have had little or no time to do anything else. Well actually, last week Traci, Mom and I canned a bajillion peaches. We also made peach jam. This was my first experience with peaches. Oh my, I don't think my floor has ever been sooooo sticky ever! But we are really enjoying the benefits from them peaches! YUM. Next year I am bound and determined to have a garden and I will be canning everything I can! It was alot of work, but very fun and rewarding.
Dylan is doing great in Football. He has been playing Strong Safety. On Tues. in practice, he caught 2 interceptions and knocked the ball away from being caught. Now only if he can do that in a game! He is doing great and I love to watch him play. I really look forward to his games on Sat. Well, until it gets really cold! I really hate it then!
Hayden and Layci are having a good time in school this year. Layci is loving riding the bus and Kindergarten. Hayden is doing really well with cursive writing this year. I can't believe how fast they grow.
Well I better get back to work...I have a ton of things to do today, paint signs, print vinyl etc..... I will post pictures of Dylan playing football soon. (I hope)
