GRAMMY AND THE GRANDSONS IN SEATTLE

I AM IN SEATTLE WATCHING RYAN AND ANDREW WHILE SPENCER AND ERIN ARE IN ALBUQUERQUE ON A HOUSE HUNTING TRIP.

This is my first day here and all is well, no melt downs, just dang cute boys!!

Andrew found a comfortable place to sit while watching

"Elmo in Grouchland"
A little climbing time outside.
And a wrestle before bed....

BURP AND CUDDLE

I made a receiving blanket and some personalized burp cloths for Isabel and Beckett. They turned out so cute I made some more for a friends new baby.

The burp cloths are cloth diapers with the name on one side and fabric on the other side about 1/2 the way up. They are very cute.

I hope Emily likes them, and that she is so busy with Zachery that she is not looking on my blog!!

AN OLD WEDDING DRESS AND A PAIR OF SCISSORS

I cut up my old, ugly wedding dress and made this blessing dress for Isabel.

Unfortuately, it did not fit her.

This is some of the detail of the bodice.
and the bottom of the dress.

I had about 14 buttons on my wedding dress,

and was able to salvage 3 to use.

I made a new, sweet slip. Awww.

It was fun to make and I only had to buy some new lace for the bottom of the dress.

Hopefully, I will have some more grand-daughters.

BLESSING WEEKEND

Isabel (in the pink!) was blessed this weekend.

I have my arms and my heart full with

3 of our 4 grandchildren here this weekend.
The proud mom and dad with Isabel.

Spencer and Andrew flew in from Seattle to

to be here for the blessing.

It was a surprize for Ryan and Teri.

Daniel, Anne and baby Beckett drove over for the blessing also.

IF YOU DID NOT CATCH IT ON ESPN....

and you missed it on the scrolling on the bottom of Sports Center,

I bowled a 202 today!

For those of you who need proof (because I often exaggerate my sporting accomplishments) my score is on the top, DG, feel free to enlarge for detail!!.

P.S. Jan, aka JK, would like me to tell you all this was not her best game In 20 years of bowling this was my first 200 game. For you non-bowlers a 300 is a perfect game. I was 2/3 perfect, which is much better that the 1/3 plus 30 perfect I usually am.

Made even sweeter because a few weeks ago I was just 3 pins away from a 200 game,
and bowled a 84 on the same day.

My bowling friends.

A VISIT WITH BECKETT

We went to Provo last week to meet our new grandson, we had a great visit with Daniel and Anne.

I spent some time with Kathy, saw Kari's new house and even fit in a few quilt stores. We even had lunch with the Hendrick's on our way out of town.

Sleeping with his "suckie"

Awwww.....

Looking at Gramps.

Introducing our fourth Grandchild...
