HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!

Well I woke up with a really bad sore throat today, I thought that I had slept with my mouth open but no, my ears hurt and I had a headache to. So I drank a lot of Orange Juice and that made my throat better. But the day must go on, the cooking, the baking, the cleaning of many dishes. sigh..... It was not bad though, I made pumpkin pie yesterday, although I had wanted to make the pumpkin trifle, I had no energy. I have all the ingredients though, so I will , when the boys eat up all the pumpkin pie. OH I also made the Hershy Kiss peanut butter cookies...mmmmm. I might make some fudge soon, since we won't be having Christmas, we have to enjoy and celebrate everything we can before December 15th. { MOVING DAY } .


We pretty much hung out on the couches all day watching and catching up on Supernatural. David and I are going to go out and about shopping tomorrow. Although its not too bad around here, Palm Desert that is. It never seems to be that crazy pshyco black friday down there. Oh and David is off from now until January 15th. We officially have 15 days to be packed or ready for the movers to come pack for us I should say. Ok, well here are some photos I took , nobody was feeling photogenic except for the food so enjoy.....


I got a new camera for my birthday and this is what I get............
Well you will have to take Davi'ds word that this tasted good because I didn't eat any... I got the idea from Martha Stewart. { of course }



Just a little snack :)

oooh awww, pretty... I will miss this in Hawaii, but maybe the beach in the backyard will make up for it?

Doesn't this look yummy?? It's in the November issue of Rachel Ray.. I never really liked her but I have used a few of her recipes lately , she's a dog lover too :)

I got a little knitting done...

I just have to make the I cord and pom poms and of course the other legwarmer. This pattern is from Knitty . Do you think I can wear legwarmers in Hawaii???

Can't forget the Pumpkin Pie ! Barret served this up for everyone :}

Ball Pictures

Ok, these aren't the best pictures because they are from David's cell phone. I didn't have a purse and so I didn't have a camera either. Oh well, there will be more balls right? But I just wanted to post a couple of pictures just to show the setting of the ball.

Birthday Ball Cake

My Seat ...

The Table...

Flower arrangements... that we got to bring home

Of course the glasses to add to our collection ?

Well here is one of the pictures that we took after my friends did my hair and makeup. Cindy did my hair and Tait did my makeup. I will post more later.

Photography @ Joshua Tree

Ok, today was Christmas Photo day and I wanted to have one of those photos made that everyone sends at Christmas time now. So we pack up and went to Joshua Tree National Park. I wanted the picture to be taken in the Cholla Gardens but of course they were not in bloom, but still beautiful and also, Kate Dog was not allowed. :( So off to the Ocotillo Patch.. YAH, not so patchy.... there were like 10 Ocotillo's. Where did they all go? Not to mention they were not in bloom. SO, next stop, Jumbo Rocks. This was perfect. We set up the tripod and got some good pictures. Even Katie was looking ! Normally she is so afraid of the camera, don't know why, I blame Barret :).... So I wish I could post the pictures, but then when you all got my card in the mail it wouldn't be a surprise. So how about just a couple pictures of a Joshua Tree and some Cholla? Oh , we could have had a tarantula , but.... David ran it over :( It was an accident....






Well Monday is the 233rd Marine Corps Ball and we will be at Morongo Casino. So I will be posting pictures in a few days. Til then....

Here's a little earflap hat i'm working on for the babies :) haven't finished the tassels or the pom pon on top.

Happy Birthday too me :)

OHHHH Guess what I got for my birthday ! A Cannon Rebel Xti! I have no idea what I'm doing but here are some pictures that I took outside and David took the one of me :) I'm only on the second chapter of the user's manual and not even half way through the dvd. So here are a couple of pictures :) Can't wait to try this in Hawaii, and we plan on taking our own picture for Christmas Cards in the Cholla Gardens of Joshua Tree.
