No words necessary.. just pure fun!

Apparently someone was thirsty...

Hopefully Uncle Adam doesn't mind sharing his Powerade!

She's Here!

We met baby girl Terry tonight at the hospital!  I think this is the newest baby I have ever got to hold.  She is so precious!

Brycen was absolutely in love with his new sister.  Congratulations Matt and Alisa!

Waiting for my new niece!

The quilt is all finished and just waiting for baby sister Terry to be born!!!  

This quilt was a lot of fun to make, I loved the fabric and especially since it all came in a fat quarter bundle so I didn't have to match anything!

This was my first attempt at machine quilting a quilt and it was not as bad as I thought it would be... just as long as no one gets up close and personal with the stitches!

Here's the back where you can better see the quilting pattern... I used mostly stippling, but did some straight lines in the purple sashing.  Heres a close up:

I used better quality batting and I LOVE how much better it turned out!  I have tried other times to get that soft crinkly look right out of the dryer and usually they just end up stiff!  So excited that everything worked this time!   Now just waiting for the new girl to be born so we can enjoy her!

From the Mouth of Brycen

Dear Mom and Dad,

Thank you so much for letting me stay the weekend with Uncle Adam and Aunt Abbey!  It was so much fun!

The first thing we got to do was play outside in the sprinklers

Where is that water coming from?

It's starting to get even higher!

Oh boy now its really fun!   I can even catch a drink!

Aunt Abbey went swimming with me after the Sprinkler too - I mean really, sprinklers and swimming in the same night! WOW!   She couldn't take any pictures, well cause she was in the pool with me, but trust me we had fun!

The next morning I woke up bright and early at 5:45 and they asked me if I wanted to go ride a train!  Of Course I did!!!  So we hopped in the car and drove to Enchanted Island - what a great name for a park!

First we checked out my height.. I'm getting pretty tall Mom!

Then Aunt Abbey rode with me on the Carousel!   The horse was awesome it went in circles AND up and down!

Here we are ready for the train!  So exciting, well until....

  Hey what is that noise!   

Seriously, guys that is disturbing.   

Uncle Adam tried to tell me it was just the train whistle, well if thats what it is I think they should get rid of it!   Not fun!

Next I climbed into this brightly colored car with a steering wheel!

Aunt Abbey was worried I would be scared, but it was the most fun!  It spun around in cirlces and I got to spin the wheel too!  I laughed and smiled the whole time.

Then Uncle Adam took me on the Carousel! 

Up and Down we went!  This time I was sporting my Suns hat that Uncle Adam gave me... It was a little big, but I wore it anyway because I knew how excited he was for me to have it.

On our way back home we had to stop for some groceries.  I got so excited when I saw we were going to this place!

Did you know that they have one of these by Aunt Abbey and Uncle Adam?  I think its my favorite store and you know why?  Because they have TWO walk in refrigerated sections!   And Uncle Adam took me in both of them!

After Costco we went back to the house and took a nap and then we got to swim again!   Yeah!

After a busy Saturday, we all managed to sleep in until about 6:30 on Sunday.  Then it was time for church!  Aunt Abbey got me all dressed and even helped me put my backpack on!

Aunt Abbey really wanted to get a picture of me in my Sunday clothes (thanks for packing my boots Mom!) but I kept tricking her and pretended to take her picture with this sweet watch I found!

I had her laughing so hard she couldn't keep the camera still so all the pictures came out fuzzy!

But somehow she tricked me and managed to get one good grin in!

We had a great time at church, they have a Nursery at their Church too!  And we played games, colored and best of all we blew bubbles!

When we got home I was all tuckered out and took a nice nap.  I stayed in my room for a good 2 hours, I think Aunt Abbey and Uncle Adam may have taken a nap too because it was awfully quite in the house!

When I woke up we had snacks, played games, watched a movie and guess what else she let me do?!

Clean the floors!  You know thats my job!  Apparently Aunt Abbey didn't know that was my job, but I let her know and took over the cleaning.

She says I did a great job!

Well, that's about it!  You can send me to stay with them anytime you need to because they are the best and really know how to treat a kid! 

(p.s... I hope you had fun on your vacation too, though I am sure mine was WAY better!)
