Ethan's Quilt

Ethan's quilt! Thought I'd try to add this picture for my blog. I completed this a while back ut hadn't had it quilted. Then I got it done for Lauren but she still doesn't have it because I didn't get it binded in time for me or Dana when we went to see her. She gets to use it when they come for Thanksgiving!

Remodeled upstairs bathroom

A while back my husband Jim decided we needed to remodel our upstairs bathroom. It keep leaking down to the bathroom below it. So one day he started ripping things out and so it began! So heres a before and after picture:

Catchin' up!

I see that I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd give it a try!! Its fall here in AZ. And where I live, you can't tell very well. So I am out adding a little bit of Halloween onto my porch and in my house. I love this holiday, as my kids can tell. :) My daughter Lauren and Phil had their first child- baby Ethan. What a beautiful gift from our Heavenly Father! I love my grandchildren, up to 9 now, with the 10th on its way next April from Shawneen.

School has started also. I have Jessie in 10th grade now. Just one school to carpool now. Its amazing how sad I was when I drove my daughter there the first day of school! My next daughter, Taylor, is at BYU-I now. Her freshmen year. She's staying at Royal Crest Apt and I hope she enjoys her time there. She's not a big caller on the phone to me. But thats okay if she's studying that is... Then there's Jamie who works with her dad up in Globe. She's met a new-someone and we are really liking this young man! Her eyes light up everytime she see's (and not the See's candy kinda look) him. So that's it so far I will come back to this to post some pictures later!!

A New Day!

I think I finally got rid of that pesky "photobucket" sign over all my stuff. Hope it stays gone, cuz now I can concentrated on trying to put things on here. I am in Humanitarian now and over some of the summer stuff for the youth to do every Thursday. So weekly, I have been putting together flip-flop pkgs and cutting out fleece to do fleece blankets and cutting out ball forms for the sisters to sew in the Wards, then get back to me so that the kids can stuff them. Then there's a sister that takes all this stuff to local charities and shelters that can use them. And I am also helping with 4th year girls camp. Jim and I were going to do the shooting for the girls but it got canceled do to the drought. So we are helping other ways, I am doing the cooking and Jim is helping with leather works and the repelling the girls are going to do. Plus we have to do a devotional one of the nights. So I have all this to think about! Yikes.....

Mia has learned to SWIM....

Just wanted to post that my granddaughter MIA has really started to swim this past week. Her progress is great!! It was just the other day she was screaming and crying about being in the water at ALL and we were so mean to drag out to the deep-end. But not anymore, she has turned into a real fish and loves to go into the water all by herself. I still try to watch her though and I don't want her jumping off my diving board but it won't be long now. I need to get a picture of this!!

Summers here!!

Just thought I'd try to post a Hello, since its been a while. I haven't posted because its so annoying to see a Photobucket stamp over my stuff and I don't know how to get rid of it. IF any one sees this and has a solution, please, leave a comment!! Thanks. Andie
