Camping


Can you guess what we are getting ready to do. You guessed it camping. I love camping this time of year it's so much cooler up north. I can hardly wait I think we'll go up to Sedona and do some hiking in the red rocks. Who knows what we will find on our walk. I want to find a good walking stick so I can make a talking stick it will be fun. It will be Maxs first time hope he does well. I will be taking tons of pics to show you all just how
beautiful Sedona is. If Wate wasn't so bent
on having a place to hook up we could go any place. The only thing that I really want when we camp is a bathroom. Going in the bushes is not really something I'm into.

Frogs

You may be thinking what does she know about frogs living in the desert. Well I'm here to tell we have lots of frogs they live in the ground and dig their way out when it rains I have holes like this all over my yard. I'm afraid to walk out there, fear I'll fall in and no one will find me =). The first year we lived here is was like the biblical plaque with frogs I had never seen so many. They get into everything I have seen them eating the cat food, or just hanging out in the cats water bowl like it was some spa of theirs. And boy can they get big 3 to 4 lbs. I think my cats are afraid of them. The noise they make is unreal it sounds like cats in heat drives me batty. Since they only come out at night I haven't been able to get a picture of them. Maybe someday I will finally get a shot at getting one.

Annual Training

I know it's been awhile busy busy that's me. While Wate was at his AT (annual training) I was busy doing the things that needed to get done. This year it was cleaning carpets, I painted our island chalk board, did some mod-podge, made a ketubah for our anniversary, then finally use my cricut and if you don't have one you need to get one. I have found some cheap ways to use my cricut to resticky your cutting mat just take a glue stick and rub the entire surface let it dry and it's done and ready to go again. For some cheap vinyl to do all that fancy stuff like I did in my slide show I used contact paper I bought a roll of white cut it to fit in the cricut then painted it the color I wanted and it came out great. I can hardly wait to get my SCAL so I can do even more. The possibilities are endless. Wish I could get it now hopefully I'll be able to get it before Dec.
