MY NEW LOVE...

QUILTING!

I have started a new hobby that I just love!

It may seem a little old lady-ish, but I'm here

to tell ya, quilting ain't for wimps.

For graduation, I wanted to do something for

Ken that he could always have and remember.

So my ULTRA creative and talented mother suggested

I make him a quilt. I kind of chuckled at the idea

but decided to give it a go. After one week

of seriously putting in 8 hour days, I thought I had

had enough. I understand now why they are so

expensive. The cost of fabric+labor=lotsa mulah.

I swore them off after Kennys, but I decided

to give it another go for my sister-in-law whose having

a baby girl. And the love affair ignited...

This one was smaller and easier since I already knew the

ropes.(kinda)

These are a few Tates Grammie Nelson

made for him. She wanted him to have one

for everyday of the week. (extremely talented, but

borderline crazy...)

I love this cowboy one...

HUNTINGTON BEACH

THE MAGICAL KINGDOM+US

DISNEYLAND!!!


Two days before we left my poor mom got in
a fight with an iron bed and lost. But the trip
must go on! And we took advantage of the
handicap and went to the front of the lines-oh ya!


Everything was all decorated so
cute and festive.

Everyone raise a churro in toast to the

Magical Kingdom!

SPLASH MOUNTAIN

My little twin sisters went to a character

breakfast with all the princesses...

Tate benefited from the mickey waffles!

His favorite part of Disneyland was

all the food.

One of Taties favorite rides was the

Finding Nemo submarine ride.

The cartoon fish were swimming all over,

it really was cool.

A personal favorite of mine.

Not the real Troy Bolton, but it was still

fun to dance and sing at the High School Musical II

pep rally. Did I dance and sing...heck ya!

MMMM...enjoying some cheetos!

The ride that made everyone sick...

AUTOPIA

Again eating and eating.

MY NEW OBSESSION-WICKED!

While the boys went to the ESPN zone,

we headed off to Wicked at the Pantages

theater in Hollywood. For me, it was the

highlight of the trip. From the minute the curtain

went up I didnt want it to end. We were on the fourth

row! I mean were talkin nose hairs!

It was incredible!

A big shout out to Grammie and Grampie

Nelson for the wonderful trip. Thanks

for all the planning and mulah it

took to make the trip such a success!The whole trip was

a riot! We love you so...

PUMPKIN PATCH...

For FHE we decided to go to the pumpkin

patch and pick out some pumpkins.

Tate wanted to wear his festive overalls

for the event...

I asked Tatie which one he wanted

and he pointed at like 20, so we

bought them all. I really hope one day

I will be able to tell him no.

The 'pumpkin people' have this sweet

old truck set up for some great photo opts.

This poor child fell victim to his mothers

clippers. What was meant to be a trim, turned

into a military recruit look-a-like. One thousand

apologies my little love.

Can you believe this boy
held these poses all on his own?

I had to sneak in a shot of us at

the THS football game...Go T-wolves!
