There’s a Moose in our House!

March 2011 – Brian submits his application for a Moose tag (it was the 14th time he submitted one)

May 2011- Brian receives the news! He has drawn a moose tag, and a bull tag at that!

June –Aug 2011 – We talk about the moose hunt, we plan the moose hunt, we scout the area, he learns how to call a moose.

Sept. 2011 – Brian goes camping every weekend to his designated area to scout for his moose.

October 1, 2011 – The first official day Brian could shoot the moose! He was only out of camp 20 minutes…there he was, just waiting.

October 4-14, 2011 – Brian and the guys processed almost 400 pounds of meat.

We have roasts, steak, ribs, ground meat, breakfast sausage, Italian sausage and moose salami.

October 28, 2011 – The Moose Party!

Not pictured – Moose Sliders, Chocolate Moose Shooters

More Birthday Fun

So, all my children were born in the same week.  It makes for a lot of  partying at our house.  This year we had some great fun with family and friends and enjoyed some good food too. 

Here are the pictures of this weekend’s dessert line up. 

Happy Birthday Zweifel girls!  Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us.

Happy Birthday Circus Animal Cookie Style

I saw these jumbo circus animal cookies over at Bake at 350 and thought they would be fun for a cute little girl turning two. 

I think what I liked best was the bag topper and the fact that the there was no actual party involved! 

 

Happy Birthday P!

How many days does it take to frost a cookie?

Don’t answer that.  It is supposed to be a joke. 

 

I had this pile of cookies  that  I baked on Monday.  I figure  if I am going  to turn the oven on, I might as well get them all baked at once.  And  by them,I mean  the multiple upcoming occasions that call for cookies

1. Priscilla’s birthday.

2. A new roof.

3. Grace and Josie’s birthday.

4. Welcome to Colorado.

5.  I am glad we’re friends.

6.  I am now the proud owner of a huge moose and a new freezer to keep it it.  (Actually, I have to bake again. I ran out of dough for the moose)

I think that is it.  Check back for pictures of the finished products.

Progress Report Part 2

Here are the dressers. All painted and ready to go.  Well, actually already going.   I love the colors and the room is coming together nicely.  Just not nearly fast enough! 

I did take a little time on Friday night to put together this jewelry organizer I saw on Pinterest.   It turned out to be my  favorite part of the room so far and I had all the parts I needed for it!  (Keep in mind, it is also the only thing hanging on the wall  in the room so far too.) 

The bed is still a work in progress.  I need some new sheets and to find some fabric for some decorative pillows and a dust ruffle  of some sort.  So, back to work I go!

Progress Report

I am making progress on my painting projects/ bedroom redo.  I know it is hard to believe but I really am.  I have to keep reminding  myself that when everything is complete, it will actually be three dressers, a nightstand, a headboard, and a mirror that got painted!

I don’t have any pictures just yet but I will. I promise!  In the mean time, I found a few Pyrex pieces last week when I was out and about.  How about a peek at them instead?

 

 

Next up, the painting projects.  Maybe in multiple posts.  I work pretty slow these days!

Time to get to work

I found this great bedroom set at  one of the  new thrift stores for $25. And that included delivery.

So now that  it has been taking up space in the garage for a month,I have to get to work.  

Since  this is going to go in our bedroom, I HAD to have some new bedding right?  So I ordered this cute duvet and am using these colors.  

West Elm

And now, I had better get to work.
