Sixth Grade

 

Taylor's first day of school!!! To tell you the truth I was a little bit worried this year but he got up early went without fussing and I was so happy... he came home and said how much he enjoyed the first day of school!!! YAY!!!!! He is growing up way too fast! Next year he will b e off to Jr. High school!!!! EEEEKK not looking forward to that! ISH.

 

Here he is looking like.......hey girls look at me I'm cool!!! LOL He is too funny!!! This is His eleven year picture with his tree, I have been tracking their growth each year and I think Taylor is winning!!!! I did  trim off the lower branches this year since they were way to low so it looks more grown than it is!!! I'm still trying to figure out how this new blogger thing works or I would post a pic of the first pic I took when He was just One year old!!! That's for another day!!! Maybe by his next birthday!!!

 

Cross your fingers for a great school year.....so far so good, keep it up!!!

Easter= Beautiful Day!!!

Today was a very Beautiful And I'm not talking about just the weather. Here we have Three Beautiful Children.

Here is a very Beautiful Boy!!! Ok Handsome , but it wasn't going with my Beautiful theme!!!! He is a very Beautiful spirit, today instead of hunting eggs for him self he decided to help Olivia and Gracie. He is a sweety!!!!

We all went to church today on this most Beautiful Easter Sunday and After church they always have an Easter Egg hunt, the kids had a ball!!!

Here we have a Beautiful Quilt made for The Presbyterian Church in American Fork UT. (did you know that the original footloose was filmed in this church back in the 80's) Any way I designed, pieced and quilted this beauty And I must say I kinda like it! Not too bad for never really designing anything before!!

Here we have some Beautiful People being Baptized on this most beautiful and Holy day!!

I really like this one with the minister standing in front of the quilt!!! He makes it look Official!!

Look at all the beautiful Children at church today, I wish there were this many kids on every Sunday!!!

Beautiful Family!!

Beautiful Friends!!! Although Jenny and Gracie are more like family then just a friend!! I love these two more than they know! Thank you Jenny For coming today, you may never know what this has meant to me, You are one of my truest friends and I love you very much!!!

I was playing with the camera trying to get just the right light to capture the window and the quilt and think this one is pretty close but I'm no professional!

The Window is better in this one!!

This was a very Glorious and Beautiful Easter and I loved everything about it!! Thanks be to you Lord Jesus!!!

Quilting time!!!

A Boy And His Grandpa

About 2 years ago I was in a fabric store looking in the clearance section (surprise surprise) Well I had Taylor with me and he found a print he just had to have for Grandpa a quilt, I told him NO, I just had made a quilt for grandpa and his cabin not long before this. Well he kept on bugging me and whining and he said he would make it for him, so I said Ok but YOU are going to make it ....Ya right!!! He did do most of the piecing of the blocks Mom had to help him do the finish work and he even did some of the quilting on it! Finally this year we finished it after many hours and a couple of times changing my mind on the backing for the quilt we finally got to give it to grandpa and of course Grandma too!!!

When the present was open on Christmas I think it was a big surprise, Taylor had kept it from him for over two years now, grandpa had no clue he was even doing this and him and Taylor have a very close relationship. As soon as it was opened the tears started to well up in grandmas eyes which is not a real big deal she cry's over things all the time but this one was a bit different for her and also for grandpa as he was definitely crying. It was a very Happy Happy moment !

Henry was absolutely speechless, trying to hold back the tears.

This is when I began to cry my self !! It was a very tender moment, I think grandpa was touched and very very proud of his boy!!!

Summer fun

This is a little bit of what we have been doing this summer.....
for those that don't know... I have been taking care of my niece for about a month and a half .
I have been trying to keep them all busy as possible, having two 2 yr old has been a bit of an adjustment for me, now I know what its like to have a set of twins(sorta).

We found this awesome park this summer, it is a pond that has a beach front and on one side you can swim and the other you can fish, it is the coolest place ever. The kids Love it!!

We have also had a lot of back yard adventures, Taylor has been very helpful with the girls, trying to keep them out of trouble is a big job.

We have also had a few adventures at Grandpas cabin, they also love it there, all new thing to get into.

We finally got to use the back seat in the ranger, the girls love riding back there as you can see. Just wanted to share a few pics with you all hope you are having a great summer as well.
