Projects!

This year I told myself I was going to make crafts since I've always been the person to go out and buy the cute things cuz I'm too lazy to make them myself.  So the past couple months I have made some things and it is about time I posted them.  First is a baby puff quilt.  This quilt has been in the process for about 4 years.  It was meant for a friends granddaughter but I got frustrated with my sewing machine so I didn't get it made in time.  Then it was meant for acouple friends but they have now all had their babies so now it is for me if I ever decide I want to have kids. ha ha ha.  The quilt isn't quite done since I still need to tie it but that might take acouple more years.  I do need to thank my mom, my sister Carrie, and my nieces Holly and Savanah.  If they hadn't help me put this quilt together it would still be in pieces.  THANK YOU GUYS!!!!! 
Next acouple months ago I finally used my cricut and made some words to put on these containers that are on my counter.  I'm a very organized person so I need to have labels on everything.  Kyle was just glad that I finally used the cricut. I have so many plans for it but I just don't take the time to do anything.


Last year I decided I would put a cookbook together consisting of recipes from my mom, sister Carrie, sister in laws Tracy and Becca, and me of course.  I bugged them all year and finally got it finished and sent to them.  I'm so excited to use my cookbook.  THANK YOU everyone for be so good at getting me the recipes. I hope you enjoy the cookbook!!!
                                                 
This last picture is a wreath obviously and I made it with fabric that I ripped into strips.  This was the easiest  project I've done. I actually got it done in one day.  The picture doesn't do it any justice cuz I think it is quite cute. I've already bought fabric for a fall and Christmas wreaths.  I need to make a Halloween one before the holiday passes.
I've had alot of fun making crafts and if anyone has any cute ideas for me I would love it!

3 YEARS!!!!

Kyle and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary.  Time sure flies when you are having fun!!  We decided that we wanted to go to Bryce Canyon National Park and thought that our anniversary was a good time.  The weather wasn't too bad and we had a great time. We took the trailer so that we could take the dogs with us.  I'm sure they had a good time but then again stayin in the trailer for two days can't be too much fun right?  Bryce has some beautiful scenery.  The second picture posted is of Bryce Canyon.  I do have to admit once you have seen it every picture starts to look the same.  We spent two days there in Bryce and then we went back to the Red Desert to go camping with our friends Brandon and Lindsey and their kids.  It rained on us both days but when you have good company it doesn't matter.


Thank you Kyle for putting up with me for 3 years! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Family Reunion

We had our family reunion this year and it was so much fun.  Brian and Becca were incharge and we went to the same place as last year up in Huntington Canyon.  As always we had way good food and played lots of card games.  This year Kyle and I were glad that we didn't have any tire problems like last year.  I didn't get any pictures except of a buck that was pretty brave.  He hung around our camp all weekend.  Thank you everyone for a great weekend and we can't wait to do it again next year!
