Brinley's Cowgirl Quilt-a-Roo

this is the design straight from the computer, I make it in our vinyl program and then I just have to use the pen in the cutter to draw out all the applique pieces. It's not perfect but I didn't have to do much to make it work.

We've had the fabric to make this quilt for ages, when we found out we are getting new babies in the family it was just the push we needed to tackle this quilt. I started designing and working on it the same Wednesday that my grandma died, so even though it's not the best memory I have tied to it I will always remember that little bit of info no matter what. and cutting out the pieces for applique up at my grandpa's some time later and my cousin McKennie liked laying them out on the floor and playing with them. And When we tied it up at the Farm on conference weekend we had to keep holding it down so the wind wouldn't blow it away since we did it outside. Everyone helper quilt it. and we finished it up at Mitch and Keyvin's and listened to the last session on Sunday. And the week after mom and me had it sitting out to finish binding it and it was pretty cold so I ended up doing the last 3 feet just so I could sit in it and stay warm. We added the sheep at the bottom because Brin had sheep that would come visit here at the house. It was a lot of fun, and there are a lot of memories tied into making this one quilt.   

Birthday Wish

For our friend James' birthday he wanted to shoot some guns, they were nice enough to invite us along. I'll be honest I'm intimidated by guns. I always imagine them exploding in my face. It was a lot of fun, and we topped it off with dinner at Wingers.

a Pirate!

I made this guy for Kaleb's birthday in April. The picture isn't the best because I took it with my phone. I'll be making more, he was pretty quick.

Antelope Island

We went to Antelope Island the other day after church. The weather was so nice, almost too hot. It was really fun driving around and seeing the buffalo, especially with Brayden. He loves buffalo. He even calls himself Buffalo Brayden. Now every time we get in the car to go somewhere he thinks we are going to go see buffalo. I'm so excited for our camp out at Antelope Island in May. Now we just need to figure out how to get 6 bikes there...

  

Miss Piggy

This last year for the kiddos birthdays I decided to crochet a gift. Ashtyn wanted a Miss Piggy. I think she came together really easy, this was clear back in December.

Farm Camping confrence Weekend

The whole family got together and we went up to the farm for a camp out. I love it because it's just so easy. We always pitch our tent next to the pine tree to make it seem a little more like we are in the great outdoors. Saturday we tried quilting Brinley's quilt outside while we listened to conference but the 70 mph winds didn't make that to easy on us so we eventually gave up and saved it for the next day.

04-04 4 years

I remember when we got engaged and were trying to pick a date to get married. I was supper obsessed with the numbers of it. I have no idea why. Now that we are celebrating 4 years of marriage i think we will make all the 4's special. We usually don't do much (a drive and a cheap cheeseburger is what we usually do) but this year i decided we needed to make it special. We booked a room (just barely today) at the anniversary inn (i know we are supper original) I've got fun dinner plans. Even though i figured staying home doesn't matter too much since we are alone no matter if we are home or away (no children to worry about) I am super exited to just get away. I am a lucky woman to have such a hunky husband. He is wonderful with children, is always smiling, hard working and we have lots of fun. He makes me laugh and so happy.
