This is the only proof that Quilt day really happened. Annette said my gold Sperry's had inspired her to get these black patent and hounds tooth Sperry's! Her fun orange shoes have been my favorites all year!

Irena thought for a long time about what her Birthday wish should be... 

Millie gave her the scarf she has on.

We have 3 more Birthday's coming up, I don't what Millie wants but we are going to the zoo for Chelsea's
and The chocolate for mine! Artie Party!

Wedding flowers Orange, Lime, dark Purple

Fun colors for the Kennison wedding. She wanted her bouquet to be "round but wild."

 

We were glad when they picked them up so we could get to the milk!

A funny story...

Last Sunday the boys came over to collect our Fast offering and I had the envelope all ready. They said I was the first one all day to be ready. Then Gary said "It's not ready, I want to put something else in there." We went in the kitchen and he said "I want to put something funny in there for when they open it." He said "How about a coupon?" I said "No, because Brother Duncan opens them and his wife already thinks I'm cheap." Well we ended up putting in a papa John's pizza coupon.
Monday night the doorbell rang and Cameron opened the door and I heard him start laughing. Brother Hill said "This is for your Dad. He gave us a coupon to buy pizza so we used it and thought you should get the left-overs." (It was a whole pizza not left-overs.) We were laughing so hard, maybe you had to be there... what kind of coupon should we put in there next month?!

Pumplin walk quilt shop hop

Marjean and I went to the pumpkin walk and found out we have the opposite taste. 

She likes very traditional and I like modern.

 She liked this one above.

 I liked this one.

 We agreed on this one.

The back of it was great too!

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.
