Quilt Show

While at the Oregon Trail Center, we stumbled upon a small quilt show. I always love to look at other people's quilts. Here are a few of the beauties we saw:

My Wonderful 4th of July Weekend!

You Have Made Me Truly Love

Camp Zebra 2009

Once again I found myself at our Church's Girl Camp this past week. I have never been much of a camper. When I was growing up, our camp consisted of a mess hall, cabins and swimming pool. Now I have to take girls to camp and cook over a fire and pitch tents! Not the easiest thing for me to do but I have to admit that it is getting easier and I do love being with the girls so it really is fun. I didn't want to show pics of the girls but I will show the pic of my daughter in law eating a worm. I actually ate a cricket. We played a game where you got points if you ate a bug. Sort of like Fear Factor. The bigger the bug, the more points you got. Thank goodness the cricket tasted like the crunch of a sunflower seed!

We made banana boats in the fire...recipe is simple...just unpeel a banana and add small marshmellows and chocolate chips to it and then roll up in foil. Place on the fire to melt for about 10 minutes and you have a tasty treat! The girls love them and they are so much better than s'mores!

The theme of camp was, "It's a Jungle Out There". We were the Zebras. Look at the cute sign our camp director made for our camp.

On the last night, we had rain. It rained all night and into the morning. I was glad all the girls had mattresses to put their sleeping bags on or else they could have been soaked like some of the other campers. The picture shows my own tent with a puddle of water in it. The rain did not let up all night so I felt fortunate that this was all the water I had in the tent when I finally got out of bed!

 

Spirit Lake and the Uinta Mountain Range

The Honey and I took a drive yesterday afternoon. Not far from our home, this is what we saw........

 

The beauty was almost overwhelming with the bright blue sky, white huge fluffy clouds and the green of nature!

Happy Father's Day!

Middle child found these little cuties on the internet and made them today since we had a BBQ (in between rain storms). Aren't these cute lil' cupcake hamburgers!?!

Then who can resist a lil' person? He brought Grampa a football as a gift.


We were missing a few kids this year but they are always near and dear to our hearts! Phone calls are great but seeing each other in person is even better. Maybe next year, we can all be together.

I hope everyone had a wonderful day like we did today!

Last of the Shop Hop!

I was able to make it to Logan, Utah on Saturday and that meant that I could finish the Shop Hop! First stop was at Red Rooster in Logan. Their shop is in an old historic building so it has lots of charm and character. Block and shop were the "Ice Cream Store". I wish I had taken a pictures of the ladies wearing their ice cream hats. Very cute when made out of chicken wire fabric and red trimming!

 

Last and final shop was through the canyon on the other side of the mountain in Brigham City. Village Dry Goods was the "Barn Block". Both quilts were beautiful.

 

I had a great time vistiting all the shops but for now, I am shopped out! Actually I didn't buy too much at any of the stores and several of the stores, my friend and I left empty handed. We joked that here we came all this way to buy goodies but both of us were being very picky with our purchases. I will try to upload pics of what I bought later.
