Mint Chocolate Chip Quilt

My dear cousin Kayla got married yesturday and for her wedding I decided that I wanted to make her a quilt. Her colors were a lime green and brown. So I found some material, (I had fun finding it) and started to work on it. I was able to get it done in 6 days. Considering what I needed to do and my boys and having company I am quite proud of me.

Travis told me that it was a good thing that we aren't keeping it, because every time he looks at it, it reminds him of mint chocolate chip ice cream, so that became the name for it. But I do love the colors and am very pleased with how it turned out. I wish I could have gotten a better picture of it, but I am not that good with the camera and it was rainy out.

Kimball's Birthday

For the boy's birthday we always let them decide what they want for dinner, and they always choose eating out....Mcdonalds....no exception for Kimball. So we went to dinner for Kimball, and due to events during the day I wasn't able to make him a cake, so after dinner we stopped off and got a cake and then went home.

I find that as the years have progressed I have become busier and don't have time to do as much as I like, thank goodness the boys don't mind store bought cakes and non home cooked meals. Maybe when they get older they might want it, but we will wait until then. Of course Kimball was very excited to be at Mcdonalds.
Nathan for once let me take his picture. He was bounching all over the place. He liked this toy, when you slid on the piano it made noise.

Daddy and his boy...Kimball has always been a daddy's boy.

Don't they look alike??? Give Kimball some brown hair and he would look like his daddy.

I don't know why but every time I try to take Brandon's picture, if he is holding something, he brings it up to his face...so here he is with his new toy.

Ahh my boy. The 3rd attempt always works!!!

Kimball was a little confused with the cake and wasn't sure what to do but he got it in the end.

Even with the presents he wasn't sure what to do, so again Daddy had to show him what to do. Then he got into it.

I made him the pants he is wearing, a jumpsuit one and a sweater.

After this present, everything was lost, and he didn't have eyes for anything else, so Nathan got to help him open his last present.

The cake was really good! Maybe too good, it didn't last long.

Happy 2nd Birthday Kimball!

General Conference

The other weekend was Gereral Conference and Travis and I don't ever expect our kids to sit through conference, but we did want them to listen to the Prophet, so we called them to our room and have them sit. It took them a long time to settle down, but after they did they wouldn't leave!! Then we find that Nathan had put stickers all over Kimball, and when we asked, he said that he did it to help him sit still, and he did! They were so cute!

Finished Quilt

Maybe Last week or the week before, I finally finished Nathan's quilt. He really does like it. If I could change one thing I would make it bigger. Oh well I guess that means he will eventually get another quilt.

Now I get to start Brandon's!

A few weeks ago I won my first giveaway. I won these two cute books! I can't wait to receive them. I won them from Rhonda at Back Porch Quilters. I am excited to add a new layout to my collection.
