This is Jordan, Christmas 2006. Notice the short hair!!! We were living in Denver, and had a snow storm for Christmas, so he couldn't actually use the new skateboard as intended, but I think he did slide down some snow banks on it.

Since the only 3 friends I know that have blog sites have already done this...no one to tag for now.

My Quilt




A good friend of ours, that we know from Church, made this quilt for me. Isn't it beautiful?? I saw one he had made about a year ago, and asked him to make one for me with blue as the color theme. I have no idea how many hours it took, but the workmanship is awesome. He makes a variety of crafts and displays them at many of the local craft shows. Check out his website http://www.kenscountrycreations.com/outside_home.asp .



My quilt reminds me of the many that my great grandmother made. Only a few remain in the family, and they were all made by hand.



I am thankful for and very blessed to have a friend that shared his talent by making this for me. I love it!!

Funnel Cakes......Need I Say More??


Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have been seriously watching our calorie intake and increasing our gym attendance, but.......how can you go to a Fair and NOT eat a funnel cake??? You're right. It would be impossible. So, I have to just say this was definitely a blessing I enjoyed at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City on Saturday. Bill and I spent the afternoon/evening looking at the exhibits and watching part of some of the shows. The weather was beautiful for spending the day outside. The boys didn't go with us, but we watched the XTreme BMX & Skateboard show anyway. The riders will very good and completed a lot of the tricks that Jordan and Linden work on at home. There were plenty of displays of art, needlework, quilts, clothing, jewelry, cows, pigs, rabbits, and chickens. It was a fun day! And yes, if you have to know....we ate corndogs & boiled peanuts too!
