A Worth While Weekend

What a wonderful weekend...
It started on Friday with of course the last day of work
and then we went to a wedding for my husband's cousin
Caught up with family we haven't seen in a while

And then came Saturday...
A fun day spent with my brother
and his family swimming in their pool
a quick Bar B Q, and then we watched
their cute kids so they could celebrate a birthday.

Sunday couldn't have been better
It started with the dedication of the newest Temple
The Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple

What a wonderful dedication...

Then - I had to take the boyz out of the house -
they were either going to kill each other, OR
I was going to kill them...
So we went on a quick hike to Lisa Falls

What fun we had
We walked right by a rattlesnake and didn't even see it
SCARY!!

But the boys loved playing in the water,

hiking high enough to scare their mother
(Can you see them up there??)

and carrying rocks
M2 wouldn't put this rock down -
but it was too heavy for him to carry down the path
So he would throw it down the path and then chase after it all the time while
saying "My rock, my rock"

So much fun!!

We then finished the day with a wonderful dinner
with my husband's cousin and her family.
It was great to sit and talk
Exchange stories, etc...

Thanks for a wonderful evening!

We then headed home to start the process of getting ready for school
#1 went to his first day of 8th grade.
I can't believe he is that old,
because that makes me HOW old???

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well..

Now on to much more important things like
WORK... (NOT REALLY)

First Day of School... and an OOPS!!

On Monday this week my middle son (M1) started Kindergarten
His mom wondered how he would do -
BUT of course he did fine.

Here are some pictures...

What a cutie...

Now for the OOPS!!

I few months ago I signed up for a Pay It Forward through P.S I Quilt
In July this cute package arrived...
I opened and was excited.
Then life got extremely crazy with finals, vacation, new kindergartener, blah, blah
I know excuses, excuses


Well - my husband cleaned things up
(Which in our house can sometimes mean move the pile from one location to another more appropriate location...)
and this cute quilt was lost.
I just recently found it on my sewing table
and I screamed AHHHH!
Because I forgot to send Rachel a wonderful THANK YOU card.

Now I know this is not the appropriate way to send a THANK YOU
and I will at the very least send her an email, but in my husband's attempt to clean up
The packaging was placed in the trash so I don't have her address anymore - UGH!


So here is this very cute quilt...
It is perfect for the July holiday's

THANK YOU RACHEL!

If you haven't visited her blog, please do so!!




PS - That means it is my turn to do a Pay It Forward...
