Oh the fun....

 It's kind of amazing how life trudges on, and seems to go faster and faster.  It seems I blink on Monday and it's suddenly Friday.  The quilt above I just finished for a friend and her little girl's toddler bed.  She chose the fabric and I think it turned out SOO cute!  We tied it using my **new** quilting boards (which are going back b/c the wood was WAYYY too hard!).  It was fun to have my first taste of putting a quilt up on my own though (i.e. without my mom's expertise :)).  I'm looking forward to getting some softer wood and putting up a quilt to actually quilt.  Cross your fingers for me!

 Thursday was mine and Jon's 11th Anniversary! I can't hardly believe it has been 11 years!  We had lunch together and then stopped at Hyvee for a little 'triangle of wedding cake'.  It was ok, the cookies I make this afternoon will be much tastier :).  It was a good day though.

 See, we made it! 

 Julianne got to participate in the lunch time festivities.  She was loving the cars that day.

 And, like the other kids, always ends up lining them up at one point or another....

 Then we spent a romantic evening at soccer. Brooklyn had a game (see Jon coaching wayyyyy in the back?)....

 And Mason had practice.  What can I say?  We have to keep the flame alive!  It was a good day and I'm looking forward to going out to dinner this evening.  We never get to do that, so it'll be a great break.

Today, however, pinterest has caught my eye.  I pinned this the other day and Betsy suggested we make some together.  They turned out so fun and I love it!  We had a great time sewing today!  Good times! Good times!
