Summer stuff

I made a large Halloween quilt and with the scraps I made this doll blanket. So cute for Cece when she is older.
Cece is a delightful baby. Happy and fun loving! We are all smitten with her cheery disposition!
Our men folk went to Alaska on an awesome adventure.
My adventure was to teach his primary class while he was gone!
I made this purse for Johanna for her birthday. But instead of giving it to her in June, I dropped it off at the state fair!
This is a dress I made for Cece for next spring during bluebonnet season. Ditto, this went to the state fair!


Ry worked nights a Wal-Mart stocking shelves. He did it for about 2 months waiting for flight school to start. He learned a lot about physically demanding jobs and working nights!
It was time for a new pic of our running, well actually walking, duo!
Back to school blessings. Just one kid to send to school in August!
First day of school!
Guess where I was on the first day of school...
Hockey assessments at the start of the season.
Chemistry flash card fun!

Cece goes to daycare everyday, but someone from the family picks her up about 4pm every day. She is so happy from 4-6pm! Occasionally we get to run an errand like head to Sam's Club.

 

Julianne visits

Julianne came to visit. And we saw everything! The Dallas World Aquarium, downtown Dallas including the grassy knoll, the Arboretum, the Dallas Temple, Buc-ee's, the Ft Worth Stockyards. It was a lot of steps, a lot of miles and a lot of fun!

In memory of Lucy Lu Black

 Lucy joined our family in Nov 2013. She passed away July 1, 2024. She was a wonderful pet. She wasn't perfect, but she was snuggly and always happy to see you when you came home. She helped my kids survive the pandemic. She helped with homework. She loved to go on vacation with us. And she always went to the airport. She will always hold a special place in our hearts. I hope she is part of my greeting party when I get to heaven. 

















Summer fun

Pics from our boy in Idaho on a hike in Wyoming.



Hockey camp!




Learning to crawl requires strong abs!

Happy Birthday! My co-workers made me feel so special.
And then Dan came to work and brought me roses and a balloon! After work, I went to the temple.
And when I got home I found this giant owl yard art!
We went to Seasons 52 for dinner. Cece was so good! The food was very delicious!

Since 2019 I have been running a birthday 5K. This year I ran a birthday +1 day 5K. But I am WAY out of shape. My legs were sore for a week!
On the 4th of July Dan and I went to a Rangers vs Padres game.

Yarn art by me.
