Pie In the Face

These pictures are from awhile back.  Teigan loves this game.

Teigan

I have not been able to load pictures for several months and just got a new computer set up tonight so trying it out.

This is a picture of Teigan last May at Pre K graduation.  She was 4.

Teigan

WE started picking pumpkins this past Saturday (9-16) and Teigan helped with the little ones.  Have to pick the bigger ones yet.

Santa Picture

I don't know if I have ever taken a picture with Santa!  Don't recall seeing any from my younger days.

For a change why not try to get the family----or just you and the grandkids---together and go to the mall or wherever Santa is and get a family picture taken. 

That might be an ideal for Christmas cards this year!

Never to old for Santa!

Teigan and Boomer

This was a picture from this past week one night.  Teigan got ready to fall asleep and she went and got Boomer (her sissy) and they both fell asleep on couch.  Love this picture.  Boomer was born in a litter at our house before they were married so Teigan and Boomer are pretty close.

Miscellaneous Shots

 

Teigan, swinging along with mommy.

Suet was empty so she had to fill it.

Got a package of headbands but she decided they were our

 workout bands.  G'pa, G'ma, Uncle Ryan and her had to wear them and then race .  She took an ice cone break as she calls it.

That is part of a row of peas.  We have 3 rows that are probably about 40 feet and they look like this.  Hoping to get some peas for canning and freezing.  Looking good but can always freeze yet till mid April.

Our first asparagus cutting was the 27th.  Should of cut a few more tonight.  This is the earliest I can remember cutting asparagus.  Even tho it is just alittle.

Snowman Pillows and Teigan

 

Can enlarge photos by clicking on them.

I made the snowman pillows for a few co-workers and the girls at the beauty shop. In the past I have made them smaller for ornaments too.

Teigan opening some of her presents.  Last one is a camera, case and card from Uncle Ryan.  Minnie Bowtique and she just got a couple more.  LOL! Red tote is full of dress up items.

Teigan

Not exactly sure why the look on picture 1.  Maybe cuz I asked her to smile.  The second picture was taken first and she saw the camera and said smile picture.  She was helping to put the tree up.

The first 2 are rug mats I made for Christmas.  Teigan help ironing with her iron.  The vest I made for Teigans Halloween costume.  Sheriff Callie.  Grandpa and Teigan with a kite and then Teigan helping dig peanuts.
Can enlarge by hitting picture.

Miscellaneous and 2 quilt tops

Teigan gathering an egg right after the hen left the nest. With a baby chick that was hatched this past Fri./Sat.. Also her riding a horse today at a fall festival that we went to.  The 2 tops are for great nephews in Texas for Christmas.  Have one to do for a nephew here yet.  5 tops are done at a quitlers for the great nieces/nieces.  I will do the bindings.  Hope to pick them up this week and take 3 down.

Teigan

 

That kitten stayed with her in the swing and she took it a few times.  Needless to say I have 3 jars in the kitchen with flowers in them.

Miscellaneous

The deer are growing.  Last week we thought the mommy deer got hit on the road, we saw the babies and there was a deer hit on road about 100 yards from our drive.  But she is okay. Picture taken from inside my front room and deer across the road.

Teigan watching me .

Beautiful Sunday outside time

Last year you couldn't keep Teigan out of mud puddles but today she didn't want in them cuz her boots would get dirty and then when she did go the water was hot! 

Later in the day Teigan and I went back out to pick a few flowers and it started raining really  good on us!!!

Shower Gifts

 

The first picture is of Teigan playing with play doh for the first time.  Grandpa and Uncle Ryan were helping.  Baby items were for a shower yesterday. Quilt, burp rags, wash cloths, a bib and 2 items to use when shutting the door.

Teigan

On Jan. 30th we had temps in the low 60s so was a GREAT day to take Teigan to see some of our lambs and the chickens.  Also she went out to the dairy farm that my son works on.  We have 22 newborn lambs and about 10 left to lamb.  Thought I downloaded some of her with some of our spotted ones but...
