Now how cute is that!

How could anyone say that pit bulls are mean after looking at this picture?
I really do hate that they have such a bad reputation its not fair.
He's such a baby
&
so vocal "literally" he talks up a storm
& i don't mean barking either

Rylee & Memphis taking naps.

If people were to meet Memphis they would change their minds about pit bulls i will say yes some are mean because of the way they were brought up, but i promise you their are people out there like us who treat them the way dogs should be treated.

Before

Smoked Pastrami

I was so excited do this dish.

Michael set this meet in the fridge for 5 days to soak in dressing seasonings and so forth.
This is what it looks like after sitting in the fridge for while this is basically what we want so we knew this was ready.

PERFECT!

Here are the wood chips we will use to smoke the Meat.

Need to rinse off the Seasoning

Get the coals hot and put the wood chips on this is was is going to give the Pastrami the nice smoke flavor & Smell

This is was it looks like.

This it done and ready to be cut into sandwich slices for a tasty Ruben Sandwich

Rye bread, Pastrami, Swiss Cheese, Stone Mustard, thousand Island Dressing
& Sauerkraut.

The Finished look. It was so Yummy.

So yesterday for St Patty's My friends and i went to the Cal Ranch For a chance to win tickets to George Strait and Reba Tickets. Basically you had to come in costume and dive under Jello and find little balls with numbers on it and whatever number you had told you what you won. :D It was FREEZING, but so much fun. Unfortunately i didn't win tickets, but i did get a DVD and tickets to the Utah Blaze game which i did not go to.

I was a Naughty School Girl HA HA!

This stuff was freezing not to mention it was 40 degrees out side

It took me a few times before i found the stupid #

Oh i am so Crazy I can't believe i did this for tickets.
Thanks for such a Good Time K-bull 93

Photography.........If you have an answer id love to hear it.

By: Jordann McAllister

What I Tend To Ask Myself!
. Am I good enough?
. Am I doing enough?
. Is that to much?
. That looks so much better then mine " we took the same picture."
. Would that work for me?

We women are always second guessing ourselves whether we notice it or not, we are always wondering about something, well i myself have been second guessing myself a lot lately.

When it comes to taking pictures it seems that it is never good enough, their are photographers that are so much better then me and have so much more potential i don't know what to think. I could be looking at a picture they took and say that is the most beautiful picture i have ever seen and whom ever took it could be thinking the picture is so ugly, but could be saying that mine is better than theirs and so on and so forth.By: Jordann McAllister.

So i have tried to stop thinking like that, but cant help think what others might think. I have no clue where to start and how to pursue this......... um......... dream that i want to do so badly, but i have no confidence in myself. I love taking pictures, i love catching those moments that you can go back to and remember that special time. " My Wedding" that day went by so fast i can hardly remember things, but when i go back to look at the pictures it's as if I'm back there again. That's what i want for my clients i want them to feel like they are back in that moment.

I will say i don't have the nice expensive equipment that photographers do or the money to get it for that matter, but i truly love taking pictures, and i don't want someone to look at my puny nice camera and think little of me because i don't have this gigantic camera lens this little lens that cost me 800 bucks really does the work i promise not for far away pics, but it does a nice job.

How do you know how to price things?
Who do you go through for best quality pictures but not spending a fortune for them?
on average how many people like 8X10's more then 11X14's?
When we meet what do my clients think?
Do the clients think this is to much?
Why is photo shop so expensive?
Will i ever have the money to get it?

Somethings I/You just don't have answers for, but when you need them your always going to get some response from a friend, someone anonymous, or family.

O O O-Rylee

Who would have thunk it that a cat & a dog could get along so well. I recently got a new cat named Rylee she such a cute fun spunky cat. I love her, but seriously i did not think that are dog Memphis and Rylee were ever going to get along and until recently i noticed they were sharing beds together and giving each other baths how cute is that?

The last couple of days i noticed she has been acting really weird Chris & I couldn't figure it out. She was mowing rubbing on everything more affectionate then usual..... so glad i had the internet cause if i didn't i would have thought this cat was sick or something i mean this cat was jumping all over everything running around like a chicken with its head cut off i mean she is a crazy cat i wanted to pull out my hair and run.

Turns out this kitty is no longer a kitty anymore this kitty is a cat this cat is now a grown up. and Unfortunately Rylee is in heat & it was Saturday and ALL the PET CLINICS were CLOSED. I seriously wanted to know if she was ever going to quit being so hyper and trying to run out the door to go outside & just become her self again. Thankfully we get her in tomorrow, but here goes another sleepless night, i really don't know much about the whole spay and neuter thing, but i hope it doesn't change her personality or anything and she is going to have to stay the night all by herself. D-: Hope she is okay, but id rather have her fixed then have to deal with this all the time, because it is ridicules. I mean the lady on the phone said you either A: get her fixed & pay this amount of money B: basically stays in heat the rest of her life and deal with her trying to run away and get pregnant. Well i do get tired of seeing those offal sad commercials of homeless pets and if she got pregnant that's what would happen so i defiantly am going to get her fixed its just such a hassle, and you never know whats going to happen after is she going to stay the same, become aggressive, run away? who knows.

Spay & neuter your pets so there wont be no more homeless pets.

Sleepover

So Saturday Hallie & Abbi got to come over and stay for the night we had so much fun games movies pizza, drinks, & chips. At first i was very nervous cause i have never had girls stay over the night before just boys, but it worked out perfect and they had tons of fun. We rented Open Season 3 not the best movie, but it was good, and then watched a few toons and hit the sack as Chris and i were trying to sleep we heard 3 cute little giggles and then those giggles turned into pillow fights and those pillow fights turned out to be scary ghost stories it was cute to listen to up to a point when it was 2 o-clock in the morning then it was time for bed. :D Wake up in the morning at 7:30 and come down stairs to find that the kids have eaten a whole bag of chips and chip crumbs every where no big deal you could tell they had a party though. For Breakfast i made Crepes bacon and sausage. Best breakfast ever. Thanks Shannon and Jeff we had a good time and i hope you will let me do this again.


Oh they used their sleeping bags as sleds for the stairs talk about they had more fun with this then anything.

I think they are going to sleep well tonight.....

To Long

I has been to long, and i don't even know where to start, and because it has been so long i have lost lots of my readers so im a little bummed, but i hope to be bringing everyone back.

Not alot has gone on really. Remember when we first moved into are house and the water heater went out then the Furnace, well just a couple of months ago our front main water line was leaking and i got a bill in the mail for just about $100.00 YEA i was frantic there is no way on gods green earth would i have used that much water in the winter are you kidding me. So yeah Thanks to my husbands brother and some other helpers it was able to get fixed but left a huge mess in my yard i have no idea how we are going to afford to get that mess fixed up. and we dont even have that big of a front yard i mean harly anything.

It seems that all the major things have broken and have gotten fixed *knock on wood* so anything else that breaks would just be minor things and stuff you are going to be end up fixing in a couple of years anyway, IT IS JUST SO AWSOME being a home buyer..... *sometimes* :D

Well i started my ovulation kits not having a baby after almost 3 years being married is driving my bonkers so why not drive my self bonkers even more buy stressing myself out with test sticks YEPPY. well cross your fingers that this is the only month i have had to use those stupid things. it would be a January baby but im okay with that, as long as it isnt christmas.

Chris's uncle is living with us for awhile it is so nice to have his company and he has been all over the world so i love to hear what he has to say not only that he was a Chief an he has ben teaching me alot of cooking and it tastes so YUMMY so ya all should be very jelouse right now. :) CAnt wait for it to warm up and have a Russell Family get together and see what he teaches me then out on the grill. THis guy is amazong he has had his ups and downs the past month, but he is better and doing great just needs some supporters.

Hallie and Abbi are coming over this saturday and i am so excited i cant wait. I hope we have tonz of fun and this is the first time she is going to be staying the night over her and her sister both. get some movies and popcorn and we should be good ya think? Im so glad that Shannon and Jeff are letting me do this im so lost with words. :D and jumping for joy inside.

PS sorry about the typos my computer is all out of wack!!!!! so im going to have to end here caus it really is doing crazy things.
