Triathamom

Well I am going to do my first ever Triathlon!! But not any one....a Triathoamom! 

 It's going to be on August 18th.....I am going to start training now...since well all I am doing right now is walking! I have a bike I can ride and I will be swimming at the local rec center....I am hoping that training for this I will actually loose some weight!

If you want to register (its in Utah) sign up! But it seems like a fun thing to work towards this summer!

Here is their link on Facebook.

Baby Quilt

I am still making little baby quilts for new mothers in our ward (church group). We had a Mom move out of our ward recently but was such a good friend that I made one for her too!

 It's just a simple design but a little fancier than what I normally do!

Of course she loved it! I have two more that I am making for Moms this summer. But they are boy quilts.

Train Restaurant

Last week we had our cousins up from Vegas stay with Grandma Walker. We had a fun few days playing with them (as we always do). But Grandpa Walker has been super busy working on a fiberglass plant (he is an electrician) and so we took one evening to go down (Nephi, UT) and have dinner with him. I can't remember the name of the restaurant but it had TRAINS!

 They had these train sets running all over the restaurant! They were awesome. The food was okay, you don't go for the food, you go to watch the trains!

 And who else did they have? Thomas the Train! Oh my, Kimball was in heaven (he has been obsessed with him for the last 3 years...still going on strong!)

 We had to go out and sit and watch Thomas while our food was cooking....Kimball could have sat there for hours!

 After we were done eating, while a few of the grown ups were finishing, I took the kids and went out front to grab some pictures...

 I wanted to get one of Kimball and Thomas...but he kept watching the train!!

 Daddy was helping me and believe it or not, this is the best one of him!

I was also able to grab a shot of the boys outside....they weren't happy to do it but after a threat to never come to the "Train Restaurant" again, they all soon smiled!

A perfect restaurant for a family who loves trains!

Another Swap

I have entered into another swap! I know, but it was a few months ago and I had just finished one and thought to do another one. Well I have had the idea back in my head for some time, then have come to realize that I need to mail it out by this weekend!! AHHH!!!

It's called the Modern She Made Swap. You don't have to necessarily do a doll quilt but could make a mug quilt, sewing machine cover, etc. I decided to make a doll quilt. I was lucky enough to have my partner like circles and aqua and red.....so what do I have???

Remember this from this post? Well I have the perfect doll quilt and it's mostly done! Now I need to put it together, quilt it, and then find some other goodies to send her as well!

I guess there is a benefit to having tons of projects around right?

Lego Creations

So Nathan got a Lego Magazine from school last month and they had a lego creation contest. Well Nathan and Brandon could talk of nothing else for quite some time about it, and if they win, they get a $100 gift certificate. Well they would talk and talk about it, but wouldn't make it. So finally they were able to make one (and now I need to hurry and print the pictures and send them off!!)

 They were suppose to create a new veichle for the "Advengures". So the larger one is Nathan's and the smaller one is Brandon's.

 Nathans creation.

I'm so proud of the boys! They are very inventive and so I hope they win (but not holding too much hope). But regardless I have created a new job chart so that they can earn some new lego sets. This is their favorite toy, this and the DS.
