Dogs Fart?

Last night Dale told me this story. TaKara went with Dale, Prall & Clint on Parker Mountain yesterday to do some fencing. Prall let a really big fart rip. TaKara asked, "Who was that dad?" Dale said, "Rufus." TaKara without hesitation, "I didn't know that dogs could fart! That's weird. Can Duke fart too?" Prall replied, "Yeah he is just a little fart and Rufus is a big fart." TaKara again, "That's just weird." I was laughing really hard...I don't know if it really was funny or if I was just tired. I still think it is cute though. "I didn't know dogs could fart."

Margo's Wedding & Bridal Shower Presents

When Tom & Kait got married Margo and I made them a quilt. So I thought I would make Margo and Dal one when I hear they were getting married. They got married just 5 weeks after getting engaged so I didn't have much time and it took forever to decide what design I wanted. I made my own pattern and used the stack-n-whack method to make this quilt. I finally started cutting and sewing on Thursday the 11th of August. Katrina, Clint's girlfriend, helped me two days and Clint, Dale's brother, helped me one day. I sewed it all together and added the border on Monday the 15th of August, tied it on Tuesday the 16th and bound it on Wednesday the 17. So we made this whole thing in a total of 6 days. Thursday Margo got her endowments out and Friday they got married. Yes I cut it short...too short. I never got a picture of it before I gave it away so the following pictures will have to do :) This is an up close front view of the quilt displayed at Margo & Dal's Open House in Cleveland, UT. Clint & Katrina also made the picture frame that is in front of the quilt.

I didn't get just a picture of the quilt at the Open House in Loa so here is a few different glances at it. In this picture is Dale's dad and my brother-in-law Phillip.

The one on the right is Dale's mom

This is Tom with his new baby boy Tait. Behind him is the quilt and wallhanging.

This is the wallhanging again and their backdrop in Loa.

For Kait's bridal shower I made her a wallhanging so Idecided to make Margo one also. This took me 5 days to desiwgn and make. I drew/designed the blocks. This is Margo displaying the wallhanging at her Bridal Shower.

Black Jumping Dog

We were up at the Horrock's last week getting a load of a hay and this little dog came running over to us.  TaKara proceeded to state that she wanted a little jumping black dog just like that. Well for her Birthday Mike Jeffery gave her a little black jumping dog.  He is suppose to be full kelpi but looks more like a shaggy border collie. We named him Duke.

Horsegirl Boots

Today we were out on the mountain and TaKara says, "These aren't my cowgirl boots they are horsegirl boots." I ask her, "Why are they called that?" She gives me an oh bother look and replies, "Because I don't ride cows I ride horses ;)" I thought that was so adorable!

Slade's First Tooth

Slade's first tooth finally came through today. It is the bottom right one. It is still very sore because he won't let anyone touch it but he loves to show it off with his silly smile.

4th of July

I saw this on a blog that I love TheRedHeadedHostess.com and just had to try it this year. I forgot to get fireworks so luckily we had leftover poppers (the ones you through on the ground and they pop-TaKara loved them), Sparklers (TaKara loved these too-because she could help), and teeny tiny fountains from last year. Slade couldn't figure out where all the noise was coming from. We had a lot of fun!

TaKara's Cute Hair

Aunt Margo crimped all 3 girls' hair. It took a very long time. Five minutes after she was done they wanted to go outside swimming ;) Luckily I was able to get a picture first!

9 months old

Slade climbed up all by himself. He is pretty proud if you couldn't tell.

Stairs

Slade just crawled upstairs...that is 16 steps. He is so strong! Can you imagine how difficult that is? Imagine if we tried to crawl up 16 steps that were up to our waist. I don't know if I could do it ;) WOO HOO!!!

Dad didn't like my hair so here is the proof that I had it now off to the bath to get my hair all evened up.
