I just got home from AZ...so get ready for a lot of Roxie pictures!

Roxie has turned into a very happy baby. Starting from the moment she wakes up!

 We played in her room together every morning.

 Crawling for her toys.

 The camera looks like a good toy!

 I bet you all wish your baby was this cute!

 We went on a little outing every day. The Phoenix art museum was one.

 Long Wong's wings, the inside of the one by Kyle's work is evidently a lot better than the one by Kyle's school.

 We stuck it out though. Should we have?

 Roxie, 6 months old, sitting up and crawling now. This is her brand new custom made crib.

 Gun shop outing, Kyle had to buy a part (to go with the parts he got for his anniversary) 

the for gun he is building (since he got some parts for his anniversary).

 We picked up some cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory and Roxie loved her first taste of the whipping cream on top! BTW I highly recommend the turtle brownie cheesecake!

 We went to the Cornish Pasty Co for lunch on Saturday. A pasty is a filled bread/pie crust with a little handle on top. Miners in England took them for lunch and held them by the handle which they did not eat because of the poisons on their hands from their work. See if you can read this menu for the numerous choices of fillings available.

 Roxie saw me coming with the flash and hurried and looked away, what a smart baby!

 Loves her books! Yum.

 No pictures of  Moab. Gary and I met up with Kyle after his bike ride "The Whole Enchilada", watched the most awkward date of a guy and girl jeeping together each in their own jeep, stayed in the little cabins, ate at Cabo taco and the Moab grill, then Kyle and I drove to AZ. No pics of Roxie swimming and eating real food, shopping etc.

Oh well you'll just have to believe it happened.

Flew home on Allegiant Air from the Phoenix-Mesa airport. I was the first one in the whole airport that morning! Landed at the Hinkley airport in Ogdon, Utah. I am a total fan of small airports!

Gary and Cameron picked me up, we drove up to Logan and went to the Brigham City temple dedication with Heather and Jake, then over to Alice's for dinner.

The next day Monday the 24th my quilt group came over and I served them the delicious salad Ashleigh had made earlier this week. It was  a hit.

Cramer craft day September 2012

 We made cards and little veggie bags to have ready  to go in our fridge.

Last week...

 Yoga with the activity day girls.

 BYU vs Utah in women's volleyball, we won so quickly it was a good thing we weren't (too) late! We went with Kris and Rodger Warner. Their daughter Nicole is pictured above (center). They stayed the night at our house and we stayed up really late talking, the night before my art group went til 12:20 pm. The next night I stayed up late for no good reason. I'll have to renew my goal about getting more sleep!

Carol, Kris

More members of my quilt group joined the American quilting block of the month club this year so now we also have a breakfast club. Fun times!

53 Flower arrangements for the Timpanogos story telling festival

We had a little rain and thunder, the lights in this tent with Bill Harley were swinging!

on-line art class "Supplies Me"

I started an on-line art class on how to use different mediums (or what to do with all those art supplies you've collected!) We had to do a mixed media art journal page before the class even started so here is mine, hopefully there will be one at the end of the class and it will be better! The only instruction was to use gesso on paper. I was thinking about my Mom this day.

Brubaker family reunion 2012

Heber Valley Family camp-I have been to girls camp here a million times it seems like! It was great to be here for an evening with a new group!

Dinner, a few games and lots of some-mores! Several families stayed over night and did ropes courses and canoeing. Here is Gary trying to teach the kids to say the word "briquettes" while waiting for them to get hot.
