Busy Week!

This has been a BUSY week, but we had tons of fun. Where do I begin...
As the ward Humanitarian Leader I had to be at the church all day Wednesday for our Humanitarian Day. We quilted for 12 hours and collected baby items to donate to the Pregnancy Resource Center. It was a long day but well worth it. Georgia was an angel the whole day, she rolled around the gym in her walker all day and played. The boys were gone most of the time at a friends house. Here is a picture of me and Janet in front of a quilt we were working on.

A sweet lady let Dallin help her on the serger! He got to serge several bandages that are going to be sent to Africa. He did a great job and was proud of himself.


All week Dallin has been attending Karate Camp - Weapons. He spent at least 5 hours a day learning the Bo Staff. On the last day he spent 9 hours in training. At the end of the week he promoted to a purple belt. He was so tired and worn out each day but didn't get crabby at all. I am so proud of him and for all his hard work. Great job Dallin!

On Saturday we entered sweet little Georgia in the Provo Freedom Festival Baby Contest. She was in the girls-age category and the costume category. I made her this cute tutu dress so she would look like a flag. I guess they didn't like it enough because she didn't win. That's okay because we think she is adorable anyway. Here is a picture of her at the judging table.

And last but not least, Conner and Dallin were in the Saratoga Springs parade. They got to sit in the back of Dallas and Arlynn's truck in their karate uniforms. They threw out candy and had a blast.

I hope next week slows down. We need a little break. The suburban broke down and needs a new fuel pump so we probably won't be going anywhere. I have the truck just in case. I am so tired, hope I'm making sense.

Dress for Georgia


Well, here is the dress I made for Georgia. I haven't finished them hem line yet because the dress is a bit big on her and I want to wait till she fits into it so I can make it the right length. It was fun to make. I learned a lot. Reading a pattern is complicated. The hardest part was gathering the dress and sewing it to the "yoke." I didn't even know what bias tape was and now I do. I think I did an okay job considering it was my first time following a pattern. I love the material. It is by Michael Miller. I used it also on my burp cloths. James thought it was "bright." I think that was his nice way of saying he didn't like it! What do you think?
