I want to make this quilt. I have the fabric for it and everything.

Auntie Kassie's saying

Glo bug feeding his kitty. (That I got when I had my spleen out!)

Trunk or Treat with our ward building people. This is Melissa Harvigtson. They moved to Germany the week after this.

This is Megen's living thing. She designed it. I would love to do something like it but somehow all together. Jake said he HATES putting this up everytime they move because it has to be perfectly straight or you notice. I'm thinking maybe a wooden pallet?

This was Bee's first time playing outside with kids in the neighborhood. He does it all the time now but I think was about September, cause those trees are still up.

Glo bug has to wear an eye patch everyday. We call them stickers. While Bee wanted to wear one too! The rule is you can't take it off until Glo Bug does. He was a good trooper.

I thought this was interesting.

Playing at McDonald's with a few friends.

I saw this truck on my birthday in one of the dorm parking lots, while delievering cookies to the fire station on base. I really dig these rims and tires. I want them for my black truck! (Maybe when I win the lotto.)

Glo bug owie

Chris bought me this for my birthday! So sweet.

Christmas break we went to the school for a different kind of playground. This is what happened to Glo bug. Poor guy it hurt so bad!

QAYG bag from Craftsy

I made this bag using a Craftsy class called QAYG Tinker Tote! It was an awesome class!

I plan to make many more of these!

The lining did fit better than I had in this picture.

 

I know some of the Craftsy classes are expensive but I tell you what, this class is worth it's weight in gold. Seriously it is a great class. I learned so much.

 

I gave this one away in a swap. Wendi was my partner and she pretty much let me pick everything out without me knowing it!!! Sneaky sneaky! (Click her name to see my bag!)

 

I hope my partner likes it!

Cloudcroft in December

Bee was cold.

Notebook

I LOVE my day planners. This is my second one. I will probably buy one every year for the rest of my life. I just love that I can make lists and organize and draw notes.

I was hestiant to put a picture on it because the boys grow so much in a year BUT I love looking at it no matter that I know they aren't this size. This picture was taking the day I had to have IVIG in November. This was just before we went to lunch with Raesha. I asked her if we could do a picnic outside instead of the deli because of this! She was totally fine with it.

Back in October/November 2012, when I was dealing with my blood stuff while Chris was gone, I noticed this on Dragon's leg one day. It was a Friday so we had to go to the Walk-In clinic in Alamogordo. They thought it was MRSA so heavy doses on antibiotics.

They think it was MRSA because when I had my IVIG in November, Glo bug, Dragon and Bee waited 6 hours in the waiting room for me to get done.

He looks like a hurting unit, huh? I wonder how long that heated bump was there because he acted like this the whole time!

Chris' Ram

Chris bought this hunt in MountainAir, NM to shoot a ram.

This is us, butchering the ram. Ben, Betsy and I helped Chris.

Past quilts I've made

Ely modeling the flag quilt I made for Rick while he was deployed.

Lindsy's quilt I made in 2009. She loves it and uses it everyday.

This is the quilt I made for myself the week before Dragonfly came because I wanted to take something girly to the hosptial since this was my 3rd boy!

This is a sister quilt. Nicci lived with us for 6 months. We made 3 of these quilts... one for each of her sisters. Each heart is a sister. The big one is their name and the little ones are the sisters. Yellow-Nicci, Purple-Beth, Blue- Sarah, Red- Jessica

We made  this one for Nicci's mom.

This was the first quilt I ever made. Nice pick of a hard pattern huh? I learned lots on this quilt. That trimming is needed. That JoAnn's fabric doesn't hold up even after one wash. That I can do hard things by myself. And that colors do brighten your day!

Glo Bug sleeping with all his stuff

Kayseli sewing her quilt for a class project. She got an A!

Cool storm!

Mother's day dinner! We were all sick so none of us wanted to cook so we got Sprite drinks and a few burgers to snack on. It would a weekend full of THE tummy bug! :)

Dragonfly took this chunk of the table out with his teeth, through his bottom lip. We had to pull the piece out with tweezers. This is the coffee table at the hospital waiting room for the labs.

Maimom asked for a grocery bag holder. This is what she got.

Lipstick for the first time in years!

Fishing at the Inn of the Mountain Gods with Besty and Ben Fisher. No one caught fish because they were spawning but it was fun!

Party up in the mountains! Notice the boots in the background!
