The Adventures of Jeff and Bec ....

Well, We have been busier than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!  We are all moved into the new Casa de Hazaleus, with many thanks going to all of our parents for pitching in!  Big John and Momma Linda came with a moving truck full of Jeff's WY necessities, and helped us move and clean out the old house.  My mom and Shaun helped move and my mom has been busy decorating for us (since I am NOT domestic!).
Last week we re-covered the Man Cave chairs with OSU fabric ... it's the perfect poker table now!  Jeff still has his beloved John Wayne life size cardboard, he is shooting at you when you walk down the stairs.  And .... he now has the biggest tv available to mankind.  He's set!

We have our trip to TX planned to purchase the rest of our furniture (specifically bar stools and dining room chairs) ... I've done all the bargain-hunting I can and it's still cheaper to haul the big 'ole trailer to TX and back!

We spent last weekend fixing fence and water gaps, and cutting down a giant tree.  Do I have a video and pictures of the event?  Does a fat baby fart?  Of COURSE I have video and pics!!! Okay, I can't get the video to work.  I'll have to play with that.  Here's pics for you though!

It's hard to see, but Jeff is actually standing uphill from the tree.  We had already cut off all of the large limbs, so it would fall away from the fence!

I started counting rings, but I just don't have the patience for that.

Look at my view now!!!  It's BEAUTIFUL!!!  Thanks honey!!!

I think our next project will be getting the pegboard hung in the office.  Jeff needs somewhere to keep his cattle info organized, so I went to the hardware store on Friday and bought pegboard, hooks, and 1 x 2's to mount it on.  I'm an organization freak, so this is right up my alley!!

My lovely little soap company Soap Mom Handcrafted Soaps  (don't you just love that shameless plug?) is doing well.  Keeping me VERY busy, and I'm about sick and tired of these 2am work sessions!  I just can't help it though, I keep thinking up new products, displays, and ideas!  Here's a pic for you ... this was a soap I made over the summer, Pink Grapefruit.

I have a new product that I'm unveiling at a big craft show this weekend, I only have a few days to get it put together though, so I had better get a move on!!

Shae is doing well in school.  She has gotten in a little trouble, but nothing major.  Turns out she is a little bossy and doesn't do well working with others.  No surprise there really.  Jeff and I don't worry about it too much, we figure she's destined to be a leader!!

The Pugs are loving their new abode.  Except Belle and Ellie ate mouse poison on Friday, and Ellie took a cross-country journey on Sunday.  I induced vomiting immediately and that solved the mouse poison problem.  We hunted for Ellie for 2 hours, and finally found her across the road and bean field, 3 houses down.  Now, this may not sound like it's far, but out here in the country and for a 11 year old fat Pug ... that's a journey!  She was too scared to come to anyone, but she finally came to Jeff.  Had a scratched toe and today she's just fine!  That was a God thing for sure!  We were praying, and I was crying and considering throwing up ... all ended well though.

This is my sweet old lady a few years back.  Shaelynn thought she needed a barrette.
