My Quilt

I mentioned in an earlier posting that I had joined a quilting club. We are learning a lot of quilting basics and it has been really fun so far. I am discovering that I may not be maticulous enough for really complicated quilts, but I have really enjoyed doing our first quilt which is pretty basic. Here are the fabrics I picked out for my first quilt:And here is my first block. Like I said, it is pretty basic, but I guess you have to start somewhere.

One Year Later!

Last Sunday, my little Jack turned one. Its hard to believe that he is already one, but at the same time I cant remember life without him. We had a fun family party at our house to celebrate his special day. The happy birthday boy in his birthday hat.The cousins checking out the presents
Happy Birthday Jackson!!! We love you!

Happy Halloween!

We had a pretty eventful Halloween this year. Well not really, but we definetly did more this year than we ever have before.

First, lastweek end we went to the "Boonanza" at my mom's pool:They had this cute little train ride there for the kids. Unfortunetly Gus' legs were too long and he couldn't fit...so I got to ride with Jackson.
Titan the priate, Rusty the fireman, Brody the Jazz player, and Jackson the lion with grandma and Batman!

Then on Thursday we went to our ward's Truck or Treat.Here is Jackson the lion with his best friend Liam the dragon.

Then of course on Friday we went Trick or Treating:

I was so proud of Jackson, he was such a trooper in his costume...that was until Halloween night. I really wanted to get some cute pictures of him in our front yard playing in the leaves, but unfortunetly he had clearly had enough:
All in all it was a great holiday. I cant wait until next year when Jackson will actually know whats going on.
