Peanut butter cookies, amazingly wonderful.

Home made fries with a hamburger. Surprise for Nick, he liked it:)

Breaded chicken with corn and mashed potatoes, Pretty good.

Found crafts that I love to do!!

Made these for my cousins wife.

Made for my nephew Aden.

Scarfs that a friend taught me how to make. Finger crocet, so easy and really fun to make, doesn't take too long to make either.

O my new hobby and how I love it!!

So I really wanted to try a quilting class this semester and when I signed up for it I was so excited to get started. However I did not know how much I would end up liking it and have fallen in love with doing it, and spend  a lot of time in the sewing lab working on it. 
This was my first square, and the second time I did it, the first time I tried it I did not do well at all, and had to fix it, but after I was done I was very pleased.

My second square which is still not done because I dont know how to lay them out so i'm waiting til the end to see how it will look in the quilt.

This one was a challenge and I messed up a couple of times but I guess it turned out pretty good.

This one is one of my favorites, it was fun to make too.

The bear claw, harder but really fun to make, sure takes some patience.

I really love this one, I took some time but it turned out well in the end.

My favorites, so easy to make and so much fun. I am making a lot more of these ones to go into the quilt.

This one I about died doing, I definetly needed more patience while doing this one, and to be honest dont know if i'm making it again.

Favorites!! so simple to do and I love love to do them, these are still not quite done yet and they will not be all together as a square.

I decided to put our last name in the quilt and found this wonderful print, the leaf didn't turn out as well as I hoped but I was very pleased overall.

I'm not done and will update as soon as I get more. If you could not tell the quilt has a theme and i've chosen cabin/woods. I'm very pleased with what I have done so far and can not wait to get it finished. 

We LOVE to CAMP!!!

We love to go camping, probably one of our favorite things to do together, it's so much fun and we have a greatest time together and eat wonderful fire-cooked meals. YUM!
When we were driving, we saw these two deer that I happened to get pictures of, such beautiful creatures.

This one did not want to look at me lol.


This is one of my favorite seasons because of the changing of the leaves which just amazes me at the wonderful colors.

My favorite Red.

Just look at how beautiful that mountain is.

Getting our camping stuff out.

Last time we camped I caught Nick over by the tree carving this, so cute!! I love him.

I always catch him with the greatest faces.

Our lovely tent.

Beautiful trees all around us.

A small meadow that we catch three deer at everytime we go there.

Nick scraping a piece of wood on a rock, trying to make the edges round, for his little fire starter.

Something so small can stand out so strong.



Nicks fire starter that he tried so hard to make work. He is such a hard worker, I love him.

Can you see the deer?... I couldn't either. They passed right behind us, and I had put my camera in the tent for some reason, and by the time I got it, they were gone.

Sanpete fair and the Day family reunion

Grandpa Johnson riding in the parade.

The HUGE bull that came through the parade.

Humming birds in the back the grandma Johnsons house.

The Rodeo and the rides in the background.

The bad bugs that were above us, there were so many, and they started to die and literally it was raining bugs on us, so gross.

A big beetle bug that fell in front of us.

Day Family Reunion 

A catipillar that we found near our car.

Watching the boys play horse shoes.


Trace watching Horse shoes.

He really wanted to play so I brought him over by the shoes and let him throw some.

The kids playing with the sand, they had a blast.

Trace wanting me to get in the water with him. Only my feet I say. As soon as I walked into the river my mouth dropped, I couldn't believe how cold the water was and they were in it like nothing, Its hard for me to believe I was a child and did the same things.

We were looking forward to these events and by the time they came, they left that quick and we were so disappointed that we had to go back to school, and missed our families already. Jennie did not come to the reunion because only a few days earlier she had little Aden which we were fortunate to go see and hold, he is the cutest thing and I wanted to stay and hold him for a long time, but we had to leave.
