Fall Break

For Fall Break I went down to the Valentine House for a couple of days.  Katie and I bottled Apple Pie Filling (forgot to take pictures to prove it!)  It sure is yummy!  We did some sewing and played with kids.

Kody, Lucas and Ryker



Hungry Hadley - she really is such a good baby!



Sweet baby!

 ...and here's a few of the projects I've finally finished!


This little blanket has a story - it used to be mine - then was Katie's and now it's Hadley's!   It had a silky edge on it that was literally in shreds.  I cut off the binding and made a new/old blankie for Hadley! 

Stockings for the newest additions to the family- just need the initials.



Rag Rug - goes fast and it's super simple to do! 



Got a flu shot - (this was a week later)



Blessing Day

Hadley Kate Valentine was given her name and blessing this past Sunday.  Jed came down with a stomach bug Saturday night so she was blessed at home (he didn't dare venture too far from home!)  It was a beautiful day and so nice to spend it with our family. 

Ready for her special day

General Conference Family Weekend

We had a mini family gathering over General Conference this weekend.  We were missing a few (Aaron, Abby, Dax and Landon) but we still had a great time. 

Shara, Tawnya, Carole, Katie and Nappy (and Bronson) 

The girls usually come up with a project to do - hair bows were the item this time. 

Nappy gave Bronson a "buzz" 

Adorable little Hadley Kate

This little baby girl reminds me so much of her mommy when she was a baby! 



My girls. 



Sisters Weekend/2011

 "Sisters Weekend" commenced once again on Sept. 22, 2011.  Shopping seems to be at the top of the list every year and this year was no exception.  First stop - Dillards (followed by MANY, many more)

 "In and Out" burgers for dinner -

 Enjoying a "Village Inn" breakfast with Uncle Ross and Aunt Mary Jo.  (sorry to cut you out Anne)

Texas Roadhouse dinner -(eating is second on the list!) 
We sure had a good time (although we missed Elaine this year.)
