Go Bill! We got into this theme and I highly recommend a pizza party! Fun and delicious stuff.
Don's Pizzaria, at your service!
We finally figured out how to use the pizza oven at Lois and Bates'! Yummo!! We had a great pizza & sangria party to thank our friends who helped us move. Woodfired pizza is so amazing that no one even wanted me to make the chocolate fondue I was planning.........wow! That's a first turning down chocolate, eh???

A shadow box I did for Bates. The salmon is copper and from a local artist.
Christmas cookies are best when you load 'em up yourself! What a joy to be with family at Christmas! I had way too many years of working my butt off and not being off over Christmas so I really appreciate it now! Mom and Jon came for two weeks and it was wonderful! Hopefully next year it won't be such a long trip......;)
Sugar-plum fairy dances in her new holiday princess dress and her pink snow boots! Thanks for the stylin' boots Grandma & Papa!

Cassidy decorates the manger.........it just wasn't "pretty enough" for baby Jesus........no truer words spoken!
The twins wish you Merry Christmas 2009!
Cassidy goes all out in her decorating......Nothing is too much for the Creator of heaven and earth!
Happy Birthday Dear Jesus!!!! Grandma and Cassidy bake and decorate a birthday cake for Jesus.
Out with the old and on with the new.........that's our new theme!

The barn gets a new roof as part of the sale of Da Farm.........It's been a wonderful time but we are ready to downsize and go on with the next season of our life! We're excited to find out what that will be.......... Keep us in your prayers as God reveals His plan for us!

Mooshey, Mooshey! There's just not enough love for a sweet, old, red dog!
Like mother, like daughter..........our centerpieces for Thanksgiving.

Cassidy's red-headed big brother!
Cassidy wanted her picture taken with Jesus.....and her favorite Barbie!
