A Joshua Tree

Took a little road trip to Caliente, NV today. Not much up there (it's about 2 hours away) but there were lots of beautiful mountains and Joshua Trees along the way. I have to credit the hubby for all these pics..... :)

Oct. 28th

I love the sunrises here.....

Oct. 27th

Today I made a table runner. It's far from perfect- I got a little impatient today, but it'll do. :)

Oct. 26th

After "dinner" coma. Haha
It took him all of 5 minutes to completely demolish the baked potato from his lobster dinner.

Oct. 25th

I bought the dog a lobster dinner. :)

Saw this at Target and thought it was too cute to pass up. He loved it of course! :)

Oct. 24th

Dinner with only 5 Ingredients. :)

Spinach Salad

Spinach leaves
Poppy seed dressing
Dubliner cheese
dried tart cherries
walnuts

Mix all together and serve. Yum!

Oct. 23rd

Today we went to breakfast at Hash House. It is such a good place to eat but the portion sizes are ridiculous. We finally wised up and decided to share a dish. We got the sage fried chicken chipotle eggs benedict which is served with mashed potatoes.... yum!

Oct. 22nd

I've been sewing yet again for another friend who is having a baby. Here's what I made for her. A bib, 3 burp cloths, and a changing pad that velcroes shut. And.... there's the dog "helping" like he does best! haha

Oct. 21st

This made me smile. (What does that say about my maturity level????) haha But, I liked it. :) It's on a bottle of syrup.

Oct. 20th

Bought the dog a little Halloween cookie today. He knew it was for him the moment I got it out. Silly dog!

Oct. 19th

We've been using our "fancy" coffee maker more and more. So much cheaper than going to Starbucks and they taste just as good. Although I haven't figured out how to make a pumpkin spice latte that's comparable. And, it's actually fun making lattes! :)

Oct. 18th

My attempt to add a little bit more Fall into this house! :)

Oct. 17th

So pitiful. He's thinking "Why isn't she petting me?? (Or sharing her food with me??") haha

Oct. 16th

I was still sick today, so I am posting yet another flower picture! These have lots of Fall colors and 1 random red rose stuck in there. :)

Oct. 15th

I did not take a picture today- I ended up getting food poisoning. :( So, I'm posting a picture from lunch the other day at Sammy's Woodfire Pizza. The manager surprised our table with this free dessert - just as a thank you for eating there. It was good and such a nice touch.

Oct. 14th

Tonight was the ladies' first annual crud tournament. This is the scene of the crime and a picture of our team (thanks, Mindi)! We didn't end up winning, but we had so much fun! Crud is played on a larger than normal pool table with only 2 balls (no pool cues). It has tons of dos and don'ts to remember which makes it even more fun and makes you laugh a lot at yourself and your teammates (and the other team!) haha

Oct. 13th

Just making some jello shots for the girls for the CRUD tournament tomorrow night! :)

Oct. 12th

Random, I know, and an awful picture, I know! haha
But, I didn't take a "real" picture today, so I am using this one. I took this picture because I saw this book at Whole Foods and I wanted to buy it, but knew I could find it cheaper on Amazon, so I snapped a picture of it to remember it.
I think I am totally buying into this Blood Type Diet thing. I have found that everything I have read online about my blood type and the hubby's blood type and what kinds of food we should eat for energy, etc. has been right on. So, I think I will buy this book since it has recipes for each blood type so I can cook things that are good for both of us (we have different blood types).

Oct. 11th

I love going to people's homes that are decorated for each season. I always admire how warm their home feels. I sometimes think "I wish I had all those cute decorations", then quickly remember that I'm one of those purgers. (Someone who constantly cleans things out and hates to have too much stuff in storage), so I decided to focus on the kitchen. I am going to change out the candy & candle in this candle holder for the season (like malted eggs for Easter, conversation hearts for Valentine's day, peppermints for Christmas, etc.), and update the kitchen table table runners (hopefully making my own with my trusty sewing machine). That's just right for me. :)

Oct. 10th

Today's sewing project.... more baby things for another friend who had a baby boy recently. A bib, 2 F-22 burp cloths and a striped burp cloth. Crazy thing is.... I'm really enjoying all this sewing. :)

Oct. 9th

Today I made a couple of gifts for a friend who just had a baby. Took a few tries to make the bib, but I think I finally figured it out! Also, 2 burp cloths with the F-22 on them.

Oct. 8th

I've been bitten by the sewing bug here lately and I am really enjoying it!



The dog "helping" me with a sewing project! haha


I made a sewing machine cover.

Oct. 7th

And.... Mt. Charleston has already got a ton of snow on it! :)

Oct. 6th

It was 50 at 8:00 am when I went to walk the dog- I had to wear a jacket! I am soooooo excited about finally getting cooler weather.

Oct. 5th

Yeah! Fall has finally arrived in Las Vegas!

Oct. 4th

Those of you who've known me for a while might know that I love finding hearts in random things or in nature, so I was happy to find this leaf shaped like a heart on our hike in Utah. :-)

Oct. 3rd

And, this dog was so exhausted after the camping trip. He couldn't even make it onto his bed! haha

Oct. 2nd

And, luckily on the last day we were there, I saw this tarantula roaming the campground. I say luckily on the last day, because had I seen it sooner, I would have been paranoid the whole time!

Oct. 1st

While camping, we went on a hike.... Here's some of what we saw.

Sept. 30th

We went camping this weekend in Utah at Zion National Park. I had no idea Utah was so beautiful. Unfortunately we took our camera, got 1 picture, then the battery died. :( So, all the pics you are about to see are with our iPhones.

The mountains there are beautiful and amazing!

Sept. 29th

Well, I should've known.... the hubby liked the torch for the creme brulee and said that could've been his birthday gift! haha Here he is using it to open one of the gift boxes.
