ZEBRA gum

Remember when you were little and you wanted the zebra gum so bad because it came with those SWEET tattoos! I sure do... and I bought some of it the other day! YAY! It was so good, and those tats are as awesome as ever. The flavor of the gum is good, but short lived, which I do not remember. I think me and Mattie went through 15 pieces in about 2 hours. Good thing we got tattoos!

I have been trying to find a wreath since after Christmas! I cannot find one that I wanted to buy or even to buy. I could only find those ugly old grandma wreaths, and I'm not trying to be rude or put a damper on those, but I do not want one of those on my door. So I told a lady I work with, Jeri, and she has been on the look out for me! Whoo hoo! Well about two weeks ago Jeri told me to go into scrapgal and check out a wreath they had made out of old books! How cool is that?! So I went into scrapgal and guess what... they didn't even have it anymore! So I had to go back and tell Jeri. Well she said that's ok! I'll just show you. Well the one they had in scrapgal probably took three and a half days to make, so Jeri found a wreath made out of old books that was still cute, but much easier. So yesterday we made them! They are so so so cute! I'm going to put some Valentine stuff in this wreath. Then I'm going to make another one, and I'm going to put glitter on the edge of my pages with some other stuff! I cannot wait!

My wreath!

ba ba ba ba ba baldy?...

I have the worst news anyone could receive! I cannot wear my long hair anymore! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! About a week ago I noticed that I was losing some hair on the sides of my head just above my ears. On my right side my bald spot quit a bit bigger. Well i didn't tell my mom for like a week because I knew she'd worry. Well I myself started getting worried, so I told her. She got way nervous! So I stopped putting my extensions where my spots are. Wasn't getting any better... Well yesterday I asked my mom to trim my real hair because it kinda looked liked I had a mullet. haha and no I am NOT kidding you!!! haha. So she cut it off for me! Yay! Then we were looking at my head and I had two more bald spots!! AHHHHH!!!! Well now I cannot wear my extensions and I have to have short hair! The worst thing is that I have hide my hair at my mom's because I know I'll put it back in if it's at my house hahaha. This is officially going to be the longest month of my life...

Garrett's Monster of a Deer

So this past week my dad went up north to school. Well this was when the muzzle loader hunt was, and Garrett had a tag. Well he asked me to take him hunting so I said yes. On Monday I took Garrett hunting. I didn't think we'd see much because it had been raining all day long and was really cloudy and looked like it was going to rain some more, but he wanted to go so I took him. I took him where I went bow hunting a few times and I saw a lot of does. So we parked the Jeep and started hiking up the hills. Once we got up there we started to see a lot of does and fawns. We probably was at least forty. Well it was about 6:15 and I told Garrett we'd wait 15 more minutes then get in the Jeep and ride around if we didn't see anything else. By this time is was starting to sprinkle. Well we saw about four does behind us and Garrett saw one going into the trees. I saw a deer below her and asked him what it was. He looked at me and said, "Sadie that's a pretty good buck." So I told him if he wanted it to go ahead and shoot it. So he did. The deer dropped! Mostly because it was paralyzed ha ha. So I called my mom and said we'd be a while because Garrett hit a deer. Then we looked for the deer for about 15 minutes, and finally found it. So it was still alive but paralyzed still ha ha, so I told Garrett he'd have to shoot it in the neck, so he did. We didn't even need to slit the throat, but we did because that's part of the procedure. Well Garrett started gutting the deer, but he was trying to cut everything out all nice, so finally I just said I'll do it and I gutted the deer. Then we had to drag it for about a mile! It was the LONGEST mile of my life! Not only was the deer heavy, but it was raining and we were soaked clear through our clothes. So we finally got it to the Jeep and my dad called Sean to come help us, so he came. Thank you Sean for all the help!!! Well this whole thing took us about two hours! When we got home we were tired, sore, wet, and on the verge of hypothermia. But it was so much fun. Congrats Garret!!

THE saweeeetest bike EVER!

this week Dean is out of town till Friday to work in the grand canyon. well my friend Kelcy's husband and Dean's brother is also there. So while they have been gone we have been riding our bikes every night. It's been way fun... but today was the best. and believe it or not it all happened after our bike ride! Kelcy works with this girl that lives in a basement apartment and these baseball players used to live upstairs. Well the boys moved out and took everything they wanted. little did they know they left the best prize of all at the house. they left a 2 seater bike. yes that's a right a 2 seater bike. I personally have never been on one but i have always wanted to go on one so so so bad. so this girl told kelcy she could come and pick it up if she wanted because the boys were never coming back. so kelcy and i headed over to the house to see what we were in for. from a far ways a way it looked like a pretty ligit good bike. once we got up close to it it got even better! this bike is no ordinary 2 seater bike it is a homemade 2 seater bike! that's right homemade!!! hahaha oh my goodness. it is way to good. They have welded this two seater together with at parts from at least 3 bikes. so we carried it to kelcy's truck and took it to her parents house so her dad could look at it. when we got there he just kept saying kelcy it doesn't look good. we were devistated. we didn't want to take this beauty to the dump. so her dad fixed the back wheel to make is straight. then he told us we needed to get a long chain so that two people could pedal while the back person could shift. yes that's right they're mountain bikes too! well we still had hope so we hopped on the bike and i steered us while she pedaled down her street. this gave us all the hope we needed. we went to walmart and bought some ocean breeze blue spray paint and painted that beauty. It looks so dang good and tomorrow we're getting a chain and more paint. then we're going to put pinstrips on it and write hybrid on it. it's pretty much going to be the best bike ever. and who woulda thought it could be such a prize?!

and they call her... KILLER!

Last weekend my dog ate a fly! This wasn't just any fly it was a huge fly! My dog climbs on the back of a chair we have in the living room so she can see out the back window. Well there was a fly on the window climbing up and falling down and climbing back up again. Well my dog kept crying because she couldn't get the fly. So Carter kept making the fly fall down so my dog could get the fly. Well she wouldn't eat it so we almost gave up. Well all of a sudden she started snipping at it and is was seriously so gross haha. Carter kept making the fly falling becuase we were finally getting some action with the dog eating a fly experience. Finally my dog grabbed the fly and she took it to the floor and she ate it! It was so gross, but that goes to show you just how tough my little dog really is! She's a killer dog! WATCH OUT! haha Carter knocking down the fly

Ellie and the fly
