Eurovan Up and Running again!

After a long winter in Utah, and a tow back to Washington, the Eurovan is going strong. That means a trip to church in comfort! 

The Cherry Blossoms

For 9 years, I've been trying to get a family picture in front of the cherry trees planted at the church. So half the family is gone, but I got the picture!

Rock Band

Calvin and his band mates played for Micah Morrill's birthday at his house in Snohomish this weekend. Although it was a bit loud for the neighborhood, Liz had warned them ahead of time and promised it would only be one hour of music. That kept the complaints down.

Georgia's Poppy

 I enjoyed appliqueing this red poppy by O'Carol Designs. You can fuse applique this piece, but I decided to turn the edges under and then quilt it to death. The black stamens are fused since they are so fussy. All red and black batiks.

A Trip to BYU Women's Conference

I got to visit with family and friends in Provo last week during BYU Women's Conference. I was able to stay with Jerri and her family. Here is Jacob and his ice cream:

And I got to spend lots of time with Katie. We hit Macaroni Grille for the first time, and loved it. We also went grocery shopping and located the model for the Smart Car. Get in, Katie!

Then we went to see Mary in Mapleton. I tried to get some good pics, but my camera was on the fritz. It's fun to see Mary and Katie together; they are so similar!

Reroofing!

We are lucky enough to be reroofing during the week of Spring Break. All of us have been up there tearing of the shakes and nails. I've repaired a couple pairs of jeans, and Calvin has been the back-up foreman when the parents were working. Those skylights better not leak anymore!

Marnie's Play

 Marnie participated as one of the Three Little Pigs at Stanwood Elementary School. She practiced all week with her class and performed on the weekend. Missoula Children's Theater comes through town once a year to give children the opportunity to perform. She was a fabulous piglet.
