Bottled Beans...

Ya know, I never really was a very good "homemaker" and I never really was interested in it. But, The older I got the more I wanted to do things.. Bottle beans, and peaches, maybe Corn, Make Quilts, and home made pies.. So, I decided the best way to do these things were to LEARN! And the best teacher would be my Grandma!!! plus, Someone has to carry on her traditions..
So, Tuesday I went to Diamond and helped my grandparents Bottle beans! and let me tell ya.. Its a long process, something I had no clue would be an all day thing!!!
We started by peeling the side of the beans, then cooked them on the stove then the bottling began. After we bottled them we put them in the Preasure Cooker and let them cook!! We did 2 batches in the pressure cooker!! It was a fun day, and I loved spending time with my grandparents!! Cant wait to see what is next on my grandmas "homemaker" list for me!! ;)!!








1st YeaR AnNiVeRsarY!!

I cant believe Brent and I's first year ann. was last Sunday!!! I feel like its been longer than that because we dated for 4 years before we tied the knot!!! But, I am so Excited that we have reached our 1 year, and even more excited for more years to come!
We loaded up the wheeler and a picnic and went to my ranch.. unloaded and just took off riding! We road up to Pine Park, and took some detours. Had a picnic which was very tasty, then we headed back to the truck and went to Jer and Kelsha's house for Navajo Tacos and a fun evening with some friends!!! It was a fun anniversary!
I LOVE YOU BABE!!!!

First Sewing Project!!!

So.. I have attempted to take up sewing!! My Grandma is helping me along the way, but I decided my first project would be a baby blanket for my friend Lauren. And here it is...
The first is a picture of both sides, and the second picture is just the front. And I think for my first sewing project it turned out pretty darn cute!!! I was very proud of myself!!! Also, there are a few mistakes that you can SO see on the back of the blanket.. but I told Lauren it just added character to it!!! Overall Lauren said she loved it, and Im very happy to hear that. I have better pictures that I took with my actuall camera but I dont have the internet at home so a mobile upload is the best you get right now!!! But, you see the just of it anyway!!
My second attempt at sewing is another baby blanket for one of my good friends Jen Terry and its a cute pink and green John Deere blanket.. Im going to make a "complete" baby comforter and bedding set for her!! :S.. Ill let ya know how it turns out!!!!
