Block of the Month

Just finished another quilt top. It took forever! Another one to get quilted. I'll just add it to the pile, darn it.This was a block of the month at a local quilt shop. It was supposed to be a horoscope quilt with all the stars, but I didn't like the theme so I added a ton more smaller stars to make it more complete.

August 2011

Our family had a great August! Time just flew by. It all started with #5 at Beehive camp and #3 at EFY. We then went to Burley for the traditional fair activities which turned out to be anything by traditional. Grandma's estate yard sale was huge. I had no idea that it would take four days to put everything out and price it all. WOW! The girls made cookies to put into the fair as well as items they had made through the year. We went to the parade and to the rodeo. We went to see 17 Miracles, which was wonderful! Most of the time was spent doing yard sale "Stuff". When we left on Saturday night, the girls said that it was the funnest time they had spent.(They say that every year.)

The bestest part of the trip was being with all of the family that was there. We visited with Grandma a few times and #4 got some crochet tips from her.
#2 finished her job at the Target store and headed down to college. She is doing great! It is weird setting the table for 5!

Trek 2011

My computer has been doing some wacky things this past month and I can now work on the blog! July 14-18, 2011 was perhaps one of the highlights in my life. It ranks right up there with my wedding and having babies. I just can't write the feelings I experienced while at Martin's Cove. The feelings are precious to me. It was a wonderful time. I am so grateful the stake leaders offered me a spot to go with the ym/yw. I was surely blessed with good health. Muscle and joint aches and pains were not apart of the experience. A blessing to me! My two dd's were also able to go as well as my dh. He is over the stake yw. Here, my #3 is holding the moon!

Here are two very cute pioneers!

HUMP DAY!

Congratulations Elder, You are half started! It has gone lickety split. WE LOVE YOU!

Trivia

Shampoo Alert
A friend sent me this the other day.
It really pays to read the labels.

Shampoo alert!
As I was conditioning my hair in the shower this morning, I took time to read my shampoo bottle.
I am in shock!
The shampoo I use in the shower that runs down my entire body says "for extra volume and body"!
Seriously, why have I not noticed this before? Now I understand why I am so "full-figured"!







Tomorrow I am going to start using "Dawn" dish soap.
It says right on the label "dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove.
