(the dark 2 squares look extra dark in this picture, you can't tell but they aren't that dark and they have tiny pink polka dots)
I started my first quilt! I am so dang excited I can't stand it. I got all the squares sewn together. its a queen size. now all i need to add is the border, and make the back then put the batting in the middle. I am going to take it to a quilter and have it quilted so it looks professional. I heard if it's your first quilt you should tie it (you know, the little nots of yarn where the corners of the squares meet) because that's easier and obviously cheaper. I just thought it was to dang cute to tie! I am going camping all weekend and I am so sad i can't work on it. I am so impatient with every thing i do. I always want things done NOW, so maybe this will teach me patience, because I sure do need it! I will post a picture of the finished product when its all done

(bad pics courtesy of my iPhone, but i don't care)

My new (and first) pair of waders! and I got the boots to go with

them but they are too hard to get on and a pain for just a quick picture. I got the smallest size, but they still drown me. The waders are to go with this......

So my dad came home last Saturday, and he said I bought you and Landon something. So I followed him outside and my sweet daddy bought Landon and I our very own fishing float tube thingy! (don't know the exact name..) I was so excited and had to blow mine up and test it out immediately. thank goodness we had something to test it out in! My dad and brother each have their own boat, and now me and land each have or own! We are so excited!

My sweet little grandmas funeral was this week. she died almost a month ago, but we had to wait for my uncle to get back from Africa to have the funeral. rude huh? What was he doing in Africa that was more important then his own mothers funeral? beets me. Don't even get me started on this subject. I would drop ANYTHING, and I do mean ANYTHING to be there asap for my mom. It was a sad day, but happy ( well, just a tiny bit) at the same time because she isn't suffering anymore.

My Daddy and I at the funeral

This was a scrapbook page I did a long time ago. My favorite picture is the one that's a circle in the middle. She is just the cutest! She looks so innocent.

A family pic is very rare for us. So I'm glad that I got this one.

This is my cousin Jeff. He is the only one my age that's on my moms side. we are like brother and sister, We were very close. He is pretty dang good looking and he is single laddies!!!!! a return missionary and he is going to be a doctor!( ha he would be so embarrassed. good thing he wont read this!!!)

Then here is my Land. he is so dang supportive. I know he had to be bored and not very excited to meet my crazy extended family. But He was there for the whole thing, went out to dinner with my family sun, mon and tues. What a trooper. He is the best.

Love you Grandma!
