Javolina sighting!

Earlier this week I was in the living room, minding my own business when out of no where a javolina just walked on by our back patio. Holy cow! I knew they lived around here, but I haven't seen one in person except for at the zoo! I grabbed my camera to get a quick shot - it didn't turn out so well but hey, I tried.

Is there any doubt?

I'm so excited...

...I'm about to head out the door to my first ever quilting class. This series of classes was my Christmas gift from Casey. What a guy! Here is my stack of fabric that will soon be a real quilt (hopefully). Wish me luck!

Christmas Pics

We had a great time seeing our families and friends during our time in Boise. Our only regret is that we didn't have more time to spend with everyone. Hopefully that won't be a problem in 2009! Here are some pics of our trip: ***Okay, as if I wasn't already late enough posting these pics, blogger is having issues and won't let me upload them. Grrr. Will try again soon!*** 1/13 - Yay - I can finally put up my pictures! Here they are:

My big brother Ben on Christmas morning.

My grandma either a) testing out one of her gifts b) doing step aerobics or

c) multitasking and doing both. (Great job coaching Auntie Sess!)

Both Casey's family and my family got together at Kassi's store (Handmade Too

Note that her tongue is out - she's really concentrating!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
