Rachel's Baby Quilt--in the workings



Running Rachel...


I love this fun quilt for my sweetest running buddy, Rachel. She is expecting her first baby in March--a BOY--and has been running every weekend with us during the whole pregnancy!! She is amazing. As per doctor's orders she is now done till baby comes. I miss her already and can't wait to see her little guy when he gets here. She is having a baby shower next weekend so I must get in gear and bind this quilt for her. It has aliens and spaceships all over it with the best green MINKEE on the back. Haven't tried MINKEE yet? Oh, you'll fall in love with it. OH, by the way the funky little triangle thing...it's supposed to be a rocket pillow. It isn't the best, but I thought it was kinda cute in a pathetic way. ONLY 6 WEEKS LEFT, Rachel!! You can do it.

Beautiful little Taylor's quilt


A New Quilt for Taylor!!


Here is one of my newest baby creations for my special new neighbor girl. She is so beautiful and this quilt has the cutest colors of pink, brown and turquoise. And on the back is the FABULOUS (my new word) MINKEE! It is the softest fabric to put next to baby. I wish every quilt I owned had this on the back. I now need to bind it and actually get it to her before her 1st birthday! Welcome to the neighborhood sweet little Taylor!

Rollie Lane Wrestling Tournament














Seth went to the Rollie Lane Wrestling tournament at the Idaho Center yesterday. He did a great job and was able to wrestle some of the best kids in the region. He was there with his several of his teammates from Rocky Mountain High School. This tournament had 44 teams from several different states and the competition is unreal. There were hundreds of boys there.
The Rocky Mountain wrestlers all did a great job and are the toughest group of guys I know. I would not want to be beat up like that. They showed great team spirit, sportsmanship and are just all around nice young men. I am glad Seth gets to associate with athletes like this.
I also feel lucky that Seth is involved with this team because of the caliber of coaches they have. They are fantastic people who treat the boys great. They are tough on them, get after them when they need it and are always there to uplift and encourage them to keep going. I am grateful for all the time and talent they share to help my son and the other boys become great men on and off the mat. THANKS!
Aside from the normal worries a mom has in this sport, Seth was proud of his most recent battle wounds...a black eye and big fat lip! NO, I didn't do this to him...although he sometimes might deserve it. HAHA!!
