This is what happens when you try to make your bed and your dog follows you to the bedroom.

A Ranch Life Christmas

A few pics of Christmas decorations, and what keeps us busy these days- besides longs hours at work!


My real, tiny Christmas tree with only ornaments and decorations that are meaningful.


Daytime shot of the candy garland.


It's blurry, but now you get an idea of the glowing lights at nighttime.


Where we spend most of our free time these days! :)


This is how I spend my time in a hunting blind. Excuse My Love's big eye- he's quite alert, watching for the Muy Grande!


Maximus with his current favorite toy: some old antlers.

Me and Maximus with the two javelina My Love shot with his bow.

Maximus adores him :).


Maximus' favorite spot when we go hunting-- rather, his favorite spot in the whole wide world! (excuse the blood...)


My Love and his bow.

Wonderful Discoveries!

A friend sent me a link to designer Heather Bailey's website. Since then, I've discovered another one of her sites! Hope she doesn't mind if I post a picture just to illustrate her talent :).

Whittling Away

This is another treat that I'm planning when it has a better place to hang itself :)...

First Boots

I feel like a child saying this... Andrew bought me my first pair of boots for Christmas. I don't think I've ever owned shoes this expensive... :).

Jeans

Here's something to work for.

Gap Original Five-Pocket Jeans.

Out with the old
In with the new

We got a new computer- and it works loverly. So we're back up and running again.... Enough of that driving 40 minutes to the library to check email! :)

Awesome Photographers

I think it's amazing when a photographer can make any picture look like a dream. I was searching for an excellent children's photographer that I had found online a few months ago. I ran across this photographer- I'm sure she wouldn't mind some publicity :) (not that I get that many viewers on my blog! ;) ha haa)

Sight for Sore Eyes

Well I spruced things up around here- if you can tell :). What do you think about the new retro look? The header took me quite a while to fix up... Probably wasn't the best thing for my eyes- I get so focused that I forget to blink, then my eyes, which are already red and aching, burn even more. Oh well- the new layout is a Sight for Sore Eyes :)- pun intended.

The stomach flu seems to have been going around, and I had bad luck on Wednesday and caught it :P... It's Sunday now and I'm still recovering--- hope it doesn't take too much longer to get back into good spirits :). I'm hoping for a visit this next weekend from my brother and two good friends!

Since I'm recovering at home, and My Love has gone fishing for the day, I think I might draw up some good house plans... Something worth thinking about these days- with the hopes of buying land within in the next year.

Kinda lonely around here...

Having more car troubles... Back in July my driver's side window slid down and wouldn't come back up. That cost about $380 to repair.

Today, my front passenger side window also dropped down when I shut the door....

Why does it seem like this jeep is just sucking the money right out of me??? I'd like to save up money to make a trip to go see a very special and loverly person... but it's rather difficult when you end up having car trouble after car trouble...

sorry for such a bummed out post today everybody :(....

Nothin' Much

Can't believe it's been two weeks since my last post... and I had been doing so good on keeping on top of it! I got rather distracted with researching my family tree :). I got back to the 1300's on one side of my family and found that they came from royal families in Scotland :). So that was neat :).

I'm now babysitting an 8 month old baby boy Monday through Friday during the day. He's been pretty good so far :).

I'm really hoping for a visit from my two of my bestest friends and I'm also hoping to make a visit to my other bestest friend in Ireland :).

Sittin' Pretty and The Amazing 5 Minute Tennis Ball!

I finally decided to get down on the ground to take pictures of Maximus. I seem to always make him look smaller than he is because I stand above him for his "photo shoots" ;) ha ha....





This is The Amazing 5 Minute Tennisball! Watch, before your very own eyes, this magnificent dog will destroy the ball iin less than 5 minutes! What a fantastic waste of money! :)



I did the worst thing possible just a minute ago.... I showed Maximus his own Vacuum Monster video- and he was convinced that there was another dog in the room with us ;)... uhhh... bad idea.... he's finally stopped barking and has gone back over to play with his shredded tennis ball.

Also, I took Maximus to the vet this morning. 28" tall, 87 lbs.

The Vacuum Monster

BEWARE:.....my voice might be too loud on the video ;).... and I probably taped for too long ;) ha ha....

More Maximus
