RockBand Invades

Howard and the kids saved up in their RockBand jar to finally buy the game. So far, their rhythm is pretty good. I would prefer them to use the REAL Fender by the couch. But it's better than shooting things.

Jackson Cross Country Meet

Jack's first Cross Country Meet was last week and he did a great job. Although it was fall, it was still in the 80s and refused to cool off.

Another Purse

I said I wouldn't make another one of these clothesline purses, but I was given a bag of scraps! Don't do that! It turned out more vase-like than the last one. It currently resides at the quilt shop.

Marnie's Class Presentation

Marnie had fun explaining who she is to her class. You can tell from the pictures that she wants to be a teacher when she grows up. She admires her teachers and loves learning.

Marnie Paints with Mom

There is no fun like Sunprinting Fabric! Marnie was doing her own piece with me while the summer lingers on. We used Setacolor paints with leaves, marbles, and flowers. I liked hers better than my own. But kids have a heavier hand with paints, which works well in this case.

Katie's New Purse

After seeing Katie's well-loved purse in tatters, I decided to make her a Birdie Sling from Amy Butler's array of purse patterns. Here is Marnie showing it off before I ship it away. School starts on Monday down at BYU, so she has to have it soon!

Back to Philmont

 We are excited to be back in New Mexico at Philmont again. During the day, I get to play with women on a High Cope course. Have you ever climbed telephone poles and stood on the top? Walked across a wire 30' high? It's so fun.

Calvin and Frazier in their group.

Always Bring Water.

Ah, the Land of Enchantment.

Western BBQ Night, including dancing.

Marnie hung out with the granddaughter of the Philmont General Manager. She was just hanging out for fun.

Riding horses is one of the best parts of Philmont.

Katie made it to the top of the telephone pole and jumped off!

That's Katie way out there on Lover's Leap.

It's time to go home and rest.
