Beautiful Liv

I have to steal from Ashleys blog to get this beautiful picture of Livee. She is so grown up and just started school. I wish I could be there to see the excitement. Love this Girl!


And here is the handsome Krew.

Love this Boy!

Eagle # 3


As I get older I appreciate more and more the wonderful children I have been blessed with. 3 fine sons have worked hard to earn the rank of an Eagle Scout. This past week Andrew received his Award and even though there has been some major nagging involved I am so proud of him and this great accomplishment. I recently got called into scouts and believe it or not it's my first time. I don't know with 3 boys how I managed to never serve in scouts but it really is a great calling. When I bought the new Wolf book, Andrew and I got a big chuckle when reading some of the requirements for a new 8 year old scout.


1a Play catch with someone 10 steps away

1b Walk a line back and forth

1c Do a front roll

1d Do a back roll

1e Do a falling front roll


Boy, these were the "simple" days. The scouting program really has helped mold my boys into fine young men. I'm so grateful for all the leaders who took an interest in my 3 sons and I hope I can help some fine young men get their WOLF badges.

My Mom is amazing! It is tradition that when her grandsons get their eagles she makes them a flag cake. This was cake #11. She is the best grandma and always so willing to be a part of the boys special day.

Bad Blogger

I'm finding the spaces between my posts are getting farther apart. I guess not much to blog about. I do have a few projects to share. At out last quilt group I had a table topper I made for my Mother-In-law, a fun Valentine topper that used up some of my red and white stash, and a easy purse that I made as an example to teach a class at church. I love all the easy projects that whip up fast. (Unlike the strip quilt i'm working on now). I also finished a quilt that had been done for a couple of years except for the quilting. I put brown minkee on the back and gave it to Andrew for his 18th Birthday. It is super warm and snugglie and very boyish with all the fun earthy plaids. My mom did an amazing job quilting it as always.
