Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

 Mama's scarf, Daddy's gloves, Sebastian's hat...

 Sebastian was delighted to wake up the other morning and discover snow on the ground.

He went straight outside after quickly bundling up 

and built this handsome cowboy snowman with no help from me. 

 The little man has been begging me since before Thanksgiving 

to get out our little tree and decorate it.

 He thought the day would never come

Finally the other day we did it. 

Last week us Miller ladies had a christmas crafting night..

Me and Sebastian made these. 

(I'm thinkin about spray painting a few green yet)

Now today it is almost 70 degrees 

And feeling a lot more like garden planting time than Christmas!

I'm definitely not complaining! 

I'm sure that snow will come back soon enough!

Camp Fires, Grilling and all that fun stuff...

Cousins!

The Tobe-ster

Pork chop anyone?

 Scored the tent for .25 at a yardsale. too bad its Bratz...

My lil modern indian :)

 

Smores ; what is a camp fire without them!?

 

 

School is out! I feel free!

 Bring on summer and all the fun!

Its been an interesting 7 years..

In one of Matt's recent letters

he wrote "thanks for stayin on this crazy roller coaster ride.."

I must say its been anything but boring !!

And I can't wait to see what's ahead!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE!

I've married a pretty awesome guy...

As these letters I received over the past few years show...

This pile is most of the letters I got in the last four years
although there are more..

Most of them aren't amazingly poetic
but some of them are...
Either way the pile of them testifies to the fact
that after almost 7 years of marriage
my husband still pursues me,
he still communicates with me,
still takes an interest in me,
still takes time for me..
which I would have to say is better than any gift bought with money.

So thankful for my husband this valentines day
and every day....

A Valentine's Day Project ; I Heart You

While walking through the store the other day I was telling Sebastian that in about 2 weeks its valentines day and he'll get to exchange love-y little cards with all his classmates.
So we looked at all the box valentines....Lightning McQueen, barbie Doll, They all just seemed kinda cheesy. Easy, but cheesy.

So we bout a bag of these...

..And got out glue, scissors, paper, the Cricut, cellophane bags, stapler, and so on
and made a huge mess all over the table.

And eventually had a pile of these!


Sebastian was so tired of writing "from Sebastian" but eventually finished.
I thought of being more creative and doing catchy phrases with critters etc for the boys, but when Sebastian was losing interest after the 1st 3 I decided pink and red and hearts were good enough for everyone :)

Now we just have to wait for Valentine's Day to show up!

It wouldn't be January without the Farm Show!

This handsome young cowboy was my date for the night!

All I had to do was mention there would be cowboys at the rodeo and he knew what he was going to wear.

I didn't even try to disagree.

Petting a gentle old horse.

Alpacas ; One of the cutest animals out there!

Too bad I didn't get a GOOD picture!

Bucking Broncs, Cotton Candy, Bull Riding, Sebastian loved it!
