GOLF PRO IN THE MAKING ?????

helping daddy celebrate his birthday! aubrey joins him in playing a round of golf!

we have a little nine-hole course not far from our house that is part of the "first-tee" program. along with the regular nine hole course they also have a little three hole course just for kids aubrey's size. the price is right too! it only cost her a dollar to play as many rounds as she wants!

FINISHED PROJECTS !

i am pretty happy with what i've accomplished this week in my sewing room! i finished three blocks for my "bee inspired" quilting group and got those mailed out.......

i finished quilting this one pictured (my first on my new machine)...... and i spent one lunch hour and part of one evening finishing up the binding........

i've also started working on another quilt. i have about 20 blocks done on that one. not sure yet how big that quilt will be....i guess i'll make block until i get board and then call it big enough!

A BRAND NEW SMILE

this isn't the first tooth that aubrey has lost but it is the first one on top. it was also the easiest one to come out with the littlest amount of drama!

STAR

i have finally finished my june quilt block for donna! first vacation then troubles getting the size just right but i do like the finished results. hope donna does too!

PICTURES OF VACATION

i'm finally taking some time to share a couple pictures from our vacation. i hope to find time to add more soon.

we started our trip on a dark and early saturday morning. after finishing the last minute loading the truck of supplies, we loaded up the girls (took a little family friend with us. i called her our rented daughter!) our first stop was the henry doorly zoo in omaha. we spent about 5 hours there then drove on to kearney, ne. there we spent the night and let the girls swim. the picture above is leaving the hotel for the next leg of our trip. colorado here we come!

here we all are at sprague lake. this is one of maddie's favorite places. i think aubrey would have rather been back at the cabin.

now...the following pictures are of the girls doing the bungie trampoline. i really wish it was free because this would have entertained the girls for hours on end! they got to jump three times during the week and by the end of the week were each doing back flips.



we had a wonderful time on our trip. only a one little problem with the new truck but i think we have whipped that problem into shape.

~

we have been back in reality for about two weeks now and i'm already anxious to go on another trip.

stay tuned for a picture of aubrey's new smile! hopefully i can get it loaded tonight for you.

I HAVE RETURNED!

i have returned from a wonderful vacation, have been back to work almost a week now. i am still working on folding and putting away the piles of laundry from our trip. my computer is also back amongst the living and we finally found time last night to get it put back in place and hooked up again. soon, i promise i will download our vacation pictures for you all to see. in the meantime i have been trying to sew at least a half hour each night to get myself back in the swing and to also catch up on some of my "bee inspired" blocks. i'm way way way behind. i should have them ALL done and in the mail this weekend!

look for some pictures soon!
