August Birthday Weekend

One birthday boy...Jackson, 5



 Another birthday boy...Brady, 3

 I took Lillian to the American Girl store in Overland Park.  What a fun place!  She picked out matching pajamas for her and Lanie as an early birthday present.

 Lucas had this Jeep taken apart in several stages...we managed to keep all the pieces and he put it back together.

 Early presents....believe me, there were tons more at the waterpark birthday party!

Celebrating

We celebrated 10 years of marriage with a trip to Playa del Carmen last week.  

They treated us like honeymooners: we had lots of extra amenities since it was for a special occasion.  I loved the rose petals on the bed and the towel animals.

Project Finally Finished!

A little background: I started a t-shirt quilt about 5 years ago.  I wanted to preserve some of our college and Europe shirts before they were stained, holey, and too gross to use.  With the help of my grandma, I pieced the blocks together and began the binding.  I remember going to her house in Cheyenne, armed with my quilt top, needles, and Lillian.  We made a good start to the process...but I never finished it. 



Life happened.  I was busy with school, Lucas came along, and the quilt was never a priority. 

IT IS FINALLY DONE!!!
