Cool Stuff

Monte and I have been blessed with some cool new stuff from our friends and family. Everything from a Kitchen Aide mixer (thanks DD and Josh) to an Ice Cream Attachment for the mixer (thanks Brian and Robyn, it works GREAT! We love it) to a lemon juicer (which we use almost everday) to lots of other great kitchen gadgets and a cool digital photo frame (thanks Tom and Connie). Just to name a few. All of which is making our life easier and better, so thank you very much everyone. Here are picutres of a few things that words can't describe.

An awesome water cooler from Linda and Jim. With everything from hot hot water to cold water. Even a "beverage" cooler on the bottom.

Krista got us (I have to say that getting used to this whole us/we thing is hard) some great serving platters and a pitcher. We were able to use some of money that was given to us for some new kitchen canisters.

This is a closeup of the flower design on the platters.
Mom made us this quilt using her favorite log cabin design and we love it.

The quilt on our bed, looks pretty darn good if you ask me.

A view that is a little closer.

A view that is a lot closer. Please notice that the log cabin light is on, every cabin on that quilt has its lights on. Mom said that the fabric she got it from had half with the lights on and half with them off. That is what I call dedication. Thanks mom. You are the best!
