Elk Head Mount

 We were able to get Abram's Elk head mount back for Christmas :) He got this elk on a hunt in Colorado in September.

Great job Abram. We love you and are so very proud of you !!!

God is so good...

Diabetes supplies made into CHRISTmas ornaments

I saved some of Isaac's used Omipod PDM Blood Glucose Test Strips and placed them into a clear plastic ornament and hung it on our CHRISTmas tree.

 

I also saved and decorated some of his used Omnipod Insulin Pumps and hung them on our CHRISTmas tree.

I thank God for all of His many blessings.

Dexcom G4 Platinum :)

So thankful to have received our new Dexcom G4 Platinum Continuous Glucose Monitor and sensors this week :)
Isaac is looking forward to trying it out :) I have read some reviews that have stated a much farther range and better accuracy with the G4 compared to the 7 Plus~I sure hope so.
*I want a cure most of all but I am so thankful for better technology to help take care of our loved ones living with Type 1 Diabetes!
So much to be thankful for.

Big Buck for Isaac :) Muzzleloader Season 2012

 Isaac killed this buck on the morning of 11-15-12.

 It is the largest buck he has killed.

 I am so very proud of him :)

 It was an eight pointer!

Great job Isaac~

How to can deer meat

 I pack beef tips/stew meat into my jars up to the "neck".

 Then I add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the jar.

 I place the lids and rings onto the jar and tighten.

I process the quart jars in my canner on 10lbs. of pressure for 90 minutes. I process the pint jars on 10lbs. of pressure for 75 minutes.
This last picture looks oddly colored because of the flash. :)

First buck of the season :)

Isaac killed his first deer of the season on 11-10-12. 

 It was a 3 point buck.

I am very proud of you Isaac. Great job!
