HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone

Quilting!

For Christmas this year Russ and I had BreeAnn to get a present for... and the category was Homemade Gifts... So I thought I would tackle making a quilt throw for her! It has been so much fun! This is the second blanket I have made if you count Russ' jean blanket (which my mom did most of)... It was an adventure and took a little more time than I had planned but in the end was really rewarding! I really like how it turned out!

Thanks mom for showing me how!

Las Vegas

Russ and I recently went on a vacation to Las Vegas and went to the NFR! We had a lot of fun unfortunately I did not take any pictures at the Rodeo... I'm really bummed about that because we went with mom and dad and it would have been really great to have a good photo along with the memory... but I was way too caught up in the Rodeo and all the people! It was great fun! We stayed with mom and dad at Caesars Palace which was awesome! Russ put a dollar in a penny slot machine and won $3! Then thinking our luck was good I convinced him to move to a $1 machine... and we lost the $3 we'd won... at least we only gambled a couple dollars... and came out even... I can't even imagine the money people loose gambling Oh Well...

Anyways I took some photos of some Christmas decorations in the Bellagio and random one's on the strip!

These polar bears are made all out of flowers! They were amazing I loved them!

All the decorations were GIGANTIC!

like I said GIGANTIC!

Christmas Tree

Here is our Christmas Tree up and decorated!

Fire Fire

So last night Russ went out to put the dogs in their pens... and all I hear is "Ju! Fire!!!"

There was a fire in the dry grass and trees right behind our home! I immediately panicked and started running around the house trying to find anything that would hold water... pans, bowls, buckets... I called my parents and luckily Dad rushed down and fired up the Back-hoe he started putting it out with dirt and spreading it out so that it was just coals... and Russ continued to pour water on the fire while Mom and I just kept filling buckets...

We are just so grateful that Russ saw it as soon as he did because in another ten minutes or less and it would have been our house that was on fire!

We stayed up most the night and kept checking on the burn area because we were afraid that the hot coals might start the fire up again... but we eventually went to bed and to our great relief when we woke up this morning it had snowed! And continued to snow most of the morning calming putting down about 4 cold inches of SNOW... The lord knew we needed his help to calm our nerves and cool down the coals!

WE ARE SO BLESSED
