Getting something finally done

This week I finally feel like I got a few things done in the sewing department. I have way too many project to do but I finally finished Tiffany's baby's bumper pads, mended three pair of levis, fixed a backpack, fixed the hem in a pair of Doug's pants and last but not least I finally finished the bang around quilt that I started a long time ago. It is pieces of material leftover from Doug's scrub shirts that I made him when he worked at the hospital. He always enjoyed the bright fabrics. He said that they were a great conversation starter.
Now onto three other quilts that I have in the works and a stack of pants that Danielle want's cut off and made into shorts. It's a good thing that summer is just starting so I have awhile to hopefully finish all of these before too long.

Memorial weekend

Memorial weekend was way too short. We couldn't leave Friday night because Shandraya's dance company scheduled their end of the year recital for that night and it was long and got over way to late to start the drive. Colten, Caleb, Shandraya and I drove over to my mom's Saturday morning. That evening my nephew Steele had his college graduation party.
Mark did a wonderful job at the grill.

All of the food was delicious.

Sunday we went to church and then visited with family.

Monday we went over to my sisters house and had a barbeque and did a little swimming




and enjoyed the jacuzzi. We all got a little bit sunburned but not too bad. The kids sure enjoyed the pool.It was a short 3-day's but well worth it. I always enjoy visiting with my mom, sister, brothers, and their families.

Graduation

Colten finally has graduated. I was hoping to get a picture at graduation of him but since it rained from the time we arrived until way after the graduation ceremony was over I only got one blurry picture. The rain did something to the main speakers so we couldn't hear anything that was said the whole way through. All in all it will be a night to remember in our heads and not with any pictures. The picture I am posting is after the baccalaureate services on Sunday evening. Colten forgot his honors sash but it is the best we can do.
This is the only other picture I got of the evening when all the graduates were throwing their caps up and the rain is still coming down.

Colten's Graduation Announcement

I didn't send out an announcement to everyone. But I thought I would post it on our blog just in case you would like to see it. He is so excited for this chapter in his life to be over with. I don't remember any of the other kids not liking high school as much as he has. But he will graduated on the 21st with flying colors and we are proud of him.

Prom

Colten went to Prom with a cute girl named Gabby. They were in a hurry to take a couple of pictures and then meet up with the group for dinner and the dance. He said that he had a fun time.

Baby Shower

Last Saturday was a fun day. We had a baby shower for Tiffany. She got many wonderful things. I think that she is really getting excited for the little guy to come. Well not real soon but as soon as finals are over. Many people came and wished her well. It was fun visiting with everyone. Thanks!
