DOOT DOOT DOAT

I have a colt that is about two months old now. Her name is doot-doot-doat....like a root beer float....Only in Tyler Pratt Language :D Melanie tells this story about how when Tyler was little they would always go to mimmy's house for root beer floats, and whenever Tyler would get excited to go, he would just keep stammering "doot-doot-doat's--doot-doot-doat's"......So when my colt was born, Justin said that she looked like an upside down root beer float, because she gets lighter colored when you go from top to bottom....so, thanks to Tyler's creativity...her name became doot-doot-doat. Here are some pictures of her from when she was only a week or so, old

Busy Work...

I have always loved to create things...crafts, pictures, food...whatever. My mom is the same way and I love it. She was always sewing or cooking or crocheting... and she still does. I think that's how I learned to enjoy creating things....so here are some pictures of the cork boards I just finished.

You can't see it super well, but I distressed the Black, Family one, and I was so happy with how it turned out! It's my favorite.

Catching up with the pictures...

I just got finished sorting some new pictures so I posted some to other posts and I'll just throw the rest in here:This is From Sunday July 13, They day Justin and I were made nursery Leaders!!!
This is Liddy After she got finished playing in the Canal. So dirty......

One Saturday Mom, Dad, Eric, Justin and I all went to Tiffany and Jason's new house to help them do some fixing up-- Hailey was watching us through the window. It was pretty cute.
Just Tiffany and Hailey coming to visit me at Dr.Pierce's office.
Dad got out his ole' 600 the other day and went on a little ride over to visit us. He's so funny on that thing....It makes his teeth show.
Justin had to take one last picture of his Harley the day that we sold it. He was actually more happy than sad, which made me feel good!

Life is a Whirlwind....

Ok, so good news....but Im kinda annoyed. Just to let everyone know how stupid the people at the Basin Clinic are....We just got the report back from a REAL radiologist and Justin's foot is NOT broken...haha. He has a bad bone bruise that is incredibly sore, and he still has to put ice on it...but seriously. They told him to take the cast off, hang it on the wall and take it easy. How funny. It is incredibly good news. Now he can still go to the Sand dunes...well, at least without a cast on anyway...So yeah...Life is good.

DID YOU SAY A BOBCAT???

So this weekend was kindof stressful...Saturday Justin got a phone call from one of his friends asking him if he was REALLY IN AFRICA??? ....Umm...NO idea where that came from so she explained that she had gotten this weird E-mail from him saying that he was stranded in Africa and needed money or he was going to jail.... Weird, so justin checked his E-mail..he was locked out, Same with his E-bay and PayPal Accounts...with stored credit card numbers in them....What a mess. We had to cancel credit cards, call sheriffs office and file a report....

Anyway... Then yesterday at work after dealing with all of that I'm sitting at work...and Justin Texts me...Calm as can be he says "My foot hurts, I just got run over with the Bobcat." I'm going...bobcat...this 1600 pound piece of equipment just ran you over and you're texting me to tell me it hurts....well I'm sorry but No Shit..... haha bad words, I just kinda chuckled to myself for a second and asked him what he was going to do about it. So he went to Urgen Care, we met him there. His foot looked like he had half a grapefruit glued to the top of it...Super weird looking. So after three hours, we got out of there with an X-ray and a temporary Cast. He broke Three bones in the top of his foot so we have to wait to hear back from an orthopedic surgeon and in four or five days they will put a hard cast on it...Darnit!!!

The thing was, my dad was driving the bobcat...He feels so incredibly bad and we told him...that's why its called an accident...Nobody meant to. We still love him and hope he doesn't feel bad, it really wasn't anybody's fault...But here are some pictures. HEHE....

Reunion Pictures... and more

I have been so relaxed this week. I feel like I have more time than usual, even though I don't but it has been nice. We had dinner with my parents last night and watched a movie. We hadn't done that in a while so it was good to see them again. Justin has been really worried about his brother the last two days because Eric's not doing very well and Jut's so sensitive--it's cute. Melanie and Monty have been in St.Louis with Tyler and Amy since Tuesday helping watch Baby Josie so it's been extra quiet around the house this week with just us home. I got to go to lunch with Alison yesterday and that was fun. We should go more often. I went to lunch with Jess on Wednesday and I need to do that more often too. She is such a cute girl. I wish I would have gotten to know her better in school, we could have had so much fun. Dang being shy..haha it never works out for the better.
We're getting more progress made on our house plans, which is so exciting to me. It's mostly in the form of conversation but there are a lot of things that need to be expressed about something to serious and permanent.
Sunday, we got home from the Warren Family Reunion. It was a lot of fun!!! Here are some pictures: When we got home Liddy was absolutely filthy. I sprayed her down with the hose and let her run around for a while so she would dry, then Justin helped me and we took the brush and scissors to her. I felt so bad because I know pulling all the mud and junk out of her furr had to hurt but she was such a good girl, I was so proud. She was so incredibly soft when we were finished too, it was great. She's done a good job of keeping herself clean this week too....from about the belly up anyway..haha she still loves to go wading in the Muddy Canal so she looks like someone dipped her in a bucket of green slimy paint from her belly line down...anyway. We're going to enter her in the "STRUT YOUR MUTT" contest in the county fair next Saturday morning for the "Prettiest Poochie" contest...haha. I don't know if she'll win..I think she's georgous, but most owners are prejudiced....just like every mom thinks her kid is the cutest....kindof the same deal.
I'm excited though, It will be fun....hopefully....

SLOPPY JOES!!

Last night, after babysitting Justin and I tried this new recipe for home made sloppy joes. I really really liked it, so I thought I would share.
1 1/2 lbs. hamburger
Chopped Onion to taste
Garlic to taste
3/4 c. Katsup
1/2 c. Water
2 Tbs. Worchestershire Sauce
2 Tbs. Mustard
2 Tbs. White Vinegar

You just brown the hamburger with the onion and garlic (I used minced onions and garlic salt,) and mix everything else up in a separate bowl. When the Hamburger is browned, mix in the sauce, let it simmer on low for 3 minutes and Eat it on toasted buns.

I really liked it, It was more tangy than Manwich :D

Justin doesn't like Mustard though, and suggested replacing it with barbecue sauce next time....
