I did it.....well, kind-of

I did it! Woo Hoo! I made and canned salsa for the first time all by myself. No, it didn't go perfectly and I definitely learned some things through trial and error. But, I did it and the salsa tastes good so I am happy about that. Now I will know what to do differently next time. Thanks Mom and Debi (second mom) for all of your help and being patient with numerous phone calls! :)




I also wanted to share this with you. This is an office building my hubby is working on right now. It is almost finished and is looking SOOOOO good. This is for Northwest Sand and Gravel and Gordon Paving (now owned by the same people). Both businesses will work out of the same new 6,000 sq. ft. office. Here are a few pictures.




This is the front desk when you walk in. All custom made with custom bead board.
This is one of the several custom made drafting tables. It looks so awesome!
All the doors and casing were custom made and absolutely beautiful.
The conference room with all custom cabinets.

The financial room (side note...wouldn't this make a perfect scrapbook room, all of the amazing counter tops and all of the storage. Wait until you see the next picture which is the other wall in this room, perfect storage for all of your paper!)

The vault that is hidden behind a secret door.

I will try to take a few more pictures when it is complete because it is going to be even more amazing!

Weekend in Burley

We went to Burley over the weekend to spend a little time. We haven't been there for so long and my parents kept reminding me of that. So we headed down Friday so we could attend Abbie's last home football game EVER! I can't believe that she is a senior. We got to see the new football field (which I didn't even know they had or was playing on, does that tell you how long it has been since I have been in the "Burley happenings") and it was fun to watch the game. Here are a few pictures from that night.








Can you tell how cooperative these two were on taking a picture. This is the best one I could get out of the two joksters! :)




Then on Saturday Mom and Abbie went with Marcy, Colton, Steph, and Brit to Idaho Falls to get their Senior pictures done by Robin, a good family friend. Check out some of their pictures
HERE. She does such an amazing job. So while we were waiting for them to return Perry and McKenna came to Burley and we hung out and played cards and made taco soup.

Then we all spent Sunday together watching football, eating, playing cards, sewing (at least I did, working on some christmas projects), playing basketball, scrapbooking, and enjoying the company of family. McKenna took my three kids down the road to Kory and Michelle's house to say hello and check out the new four wheeler. Here are some pictures Michelle emailed me that she took. Thanks for sharing the pics Michelle.

Isn't this an awesome four wheeler. The kids thought it was so cool that it was so big all of them could ride on it at the same time! Thanks Chancey for sharing it with them, the LOVED it!!

Decorations & Soccer games

The kids have been begging to get our Fall and Halloween decorations out for a week now. As soon as we went to the store and they had Halloween stuff out a couple of weeks ago the kids thought it was time. I held them off until close to the 1st of October, but yesterday we decided it would be a good time to get them out. My kids always love helping me decorate for the holidays.





Saturday is Kayden's last soccer game for the season and there have been a few family members who have been wanting to come and watch him before the season is over, so for last night's game he had quite the group of fans on the sideline. Papa Clyde, Nannie Becky, and Aunt Jo all came from Burley to watch him. Grandpa Steve & Grandma Helen took a break from moving into their new house to come and watch him. And Uncle Gary, Aunt Amber, and Regie joined us also. It was such a fun game and Kayden made 3 of the 7 goals that helped his team win the game. He was so proud and would look over at the sidelines after each time he scored to make sure we were all watching! Thanks to all our family who came and supported him, WE LOVE YOU!!
