Some more summer

In September Braden & Peyton started Preschool. They are so excited to go and have a great time. In the spring the Preschool at the Ranch closed, but the teachers were able to open a new preschool in town, which I am a board member of now. Which is great because it is nice to know what is going on.

So I have always wanted to enter a quilt into a fair. I have no idea why (okay because I really wanted to win something) I won Grand Champion over all sewing and got 4 ribbons. I also won a total of two dollars.. I had to spell it out for greater impact. This is my Flying Santa quilt.. I should have spread it out, but I wanted a picture of the ribbons.

I called Marilyn L that quilted this quilt and our Michigan Quilt.. just to let you know ladies She has done a million Michigan quilts (okay not a million) and there is another group of 9 ladies starting another quilt. so fun!!

It has been a while.....

Hello Friends and Family, It has been a while... so I will update ya'll on our crazy summer and what is going on with us!!

Okay, so my pictures are in no order at all... but they are all from this summer...

This past weekend we had 20 visitors at our house... Can you say Hunting Season? on Wednesday Andrew's Dad and his friend Mike came into town. After that Carol and Charlynn and girls came. We took them down town to check out all the Scarecrows in town. This picture is of Doris. She crashed in front of the Dental office.. she also won 2 1st prize ribbons. YouGo Doris!!! The girls in the office did a great job! On Friday Amy, Ken, and the kids came in along with my sister Jess and Mike and there cute boys. We worked on our Advent calendar and chatted all night. It was so fun. The weekend was a success... projects completed-1 Elk Killed- 0!

On July 20th we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple dedication. It is such an amazing temple and it is so beautiful inside. I really wanted the boys to see inside a temple and feel the spirit within. We went with Grandma and Grandpa Burns and Grandma Reames. Kathleen also came with the kids and we had so much fun visiting with them. Hopefully someday there will be a temple in the mountains of Colorado.
What a fun weekend we had playing with Charlynns girls and hanging out with family.

Denver Aquarium!! If you haven't been, it is well worth it! I took the boys while Andrew was working and at the end there is the restaurant. There are 2 huge fish tanks and it was really nice. The boys are sharks.

So my only advise is to call ahead and make sure that there are not any snot nosed school groups that clog everything where ever they go.. (can you tell it was one of those days?)

At the end of Aug Camden and Britton started school. Cam is my amazing 2nd grader and The Britton is a big Kinder! You know he loves school when he can dress himself in the morning. This past week has been the first week they have ever missed.. all 4 boys have been sick with 'flu like symptoms'. Who knows what they have.. i just hope it was H1N1.. then I won't have to bother with the shots...
Britton is our funny man.. I am sure if I was a teacher I would laugh all day long.

In Aug we met Grandma Reames and Matthew in Steamboat springs. We had so much fun! This is Fish falls.. it was an easy hike and the boys loved it. We love Steamboat, even though it is a lot like where we are.

Last but not least this picture was taken in our basement. Crazy.. these twin dear would totally hangout on our deck. The other night when we were watching a movie a fox was looking in. I have to remind myself that we are living in there neighborhood..
