Baby Shower

Devon is going to have a baby girl and I really can't wait. I wish she would pick a name already!! I hosted a baby shower for Devon this weekend and it was lovely. I made an adorable diaper cake, yes a diaper cake. I had never heard of such a thing and it turned out so cute. I love that everything for this baby is pink. This is the closest I'll get to have a baby girl...a little niece. I'm very excited for her arrival.

Jacob's Birthday

Jake turned 9 last Friday. We celebrated his birthday by inviting four other 8-9 year old boys to spend the night. Lucky for Jason and I, only one boy was able to make it to the over night party. On Sunday we went to Chicago Connection for pizza then to Boondocks for laser-tag and video games. Monday two other boys came over for breakfast. We had Grandma Dye's crepes with scrambled eggs, and sausage. Later, we hit a movie, "Bedtime Stories" with Adam Sandler.

Needless to say, Jake had a wonderful birthday, it lasted two days and he was spoiled rotten by his aunt, grandparents, and friends!!

From the forest to the freezer





Jason's black powder elk hunt this November filled two shelves in the freezer. I like to tease him that our elk is the most expensive meat money can buy….but it is organic.
