lets bake a Chocolate Cake

Taylor and I decided to make chocolate cake-the ingredients include fresh milk and eggs and homemade butter.

Farm Fresh eggs-see the golden yolks?

Oh the mess I make when I bake!

quilt

This is the quilt that I started for Taylor long before she was born

The quilt that I made recently for our next child-hoping for a boy!

Today I finished the baby boy quilt that I have been making for the last few months.At first I was thinking that it might be a good baby gift but, I have decided now that I will keep it for when we have a son.The reason that I decided to keep it was all the work that I ended up putting into it.I hand traced and cut out all the pieces, hand sewed all the animals and the quilt edging, and my grandma, aunt, and myself hand quilted it-tons of work!

Next, I am planning on making a dress, skirt, and I am also working on a new quilt for my friend's baby that is coming in December.

busy life, busy wife

I have been so busy lately- I am just waiting for someone else to want me to do something.Now this is not technically a rant so I am not complaining .more like spilling my guts.

I told you before that my husband has a milk cow and 2 heifer calves.For his birthday my sister in law and I bought him a black baldy bull...he named him Torito (appropriately Spanish for little bull)..he is castarated now though and at 205 lb he is going to grow up to be our very own beef steer.We also have somewhere close to 45 chickens-don't worry they aren't all laying yet.


When my husband works I have to do a lot of the chores by myself. Besides the chores I have to take care of Taylor and clean house. On the side I have been watching my niece and nephew three days a week and on the side of that I have been tutoring my brother and sister 1 day a week. Since I have to do something fun too I have been hand quilting a blanket for when we have a boy in the future (I have high hopes ok).(side note:I am going to post pictures of the quilt soon-it is turning out really good.)

I can't believe that I actually have time to blog considering all this.I wanted to post pictures but, I can't find the camera chip.sad.

See how baby Taylor has grown!
