Snowboarding

You forget how much fun snowboarding is. This is how we spent Jason's birthday this year.

Ric Rac Blanket

I fell in love with this material from Riley Blake and waited for it to come on sale. There is a cute quilt shop just up the road from me who does buy three sometimes two yard get one free. I went to go buy it and they were all sold out. So I went searching for this material I ended up going to three stores and finally found it. I made these cute blankets in about 2 hours. Very cute but more expensive than I thought it would be.

Halloween 2009

It is becoming a tradition to go to Jason's parents Halloween party. We didn't decide to dress up until an hour before. We went out looking for costumes and had to hurry. We went to Kmart then to Amilia's costumes, and finally shopko and then back to Kmart. I have decided that modest Halloween costumes do not exist. I guess next year I will have to make my own I did find a devil costume to wear though. We bought Jason and mullet wig so he could be all business in the front party in the back. We had wonderful appetizer and played fun games. Thanks Karen and Gary for the invite it was a blast!

Shop Hop

I dragged Karen and Katie to the Holiday shop hop this year. Katie was lucky enough to spend all day Friday with me going to Utah county and Salt lake county stores. It was fun to see all the Rag quilts, Patch work quilts, Scrap quilts. How popular Yo-Yo's are what you make with them. Also what you can do with Ribbon and Ric Rac. Some of my favorite shops were Gracie's Lou, The Quilting Cottage, and Material girls.

Thanks for going with me Katie sorry you didn't win anything.

Birthday

For my birthday Jason surprised me with new ear phones for running, and running clothes. He also remembered to get me the secret garden movie. To celebrate my birthday we went to Rodizio Grill then we attempted to hike up Bell Canyon. After we went to dinner with friends to a great Mexican restaurant. My mom bought me a cold stone cake, I recommend the mint oreo. It was soooo good. Thanks Mom!

Aunt Mar is the "my favorite aunt on my mom side" family joke. She always makes me feel special on my birthday she took me clothes shopping and well she basically bought me a running wardrobe which is what I was hoping for. Thanks Aunt Mar!

I joked around with my mom about wanting to get canning products to be able to can. Eventually I hope to be more domesticated in the home. Thought this was a good start. Aunt Key gave me an awesome book and some cute little bottles. I can't wait to go bottle with her now.

Jason's parents know how much I have started to loving sewing so they bought me a cute new sewing box. I have yet to pack up and start using it. Thanks for letting me always borrow all your sewing supplies. I promise one day I will give you back all the bobbins I have borrowed.


I work with an individual who knows where Richfield is loves to joke about it. I think he lived in Marysville for a while so that makes us neighbors. For my birthday he brought me in this crazy cake.

Gardens

We were able to go Thanksgiving point gardens. I never knew you could grow black flowers, or two toned flowers. I love the waterfalls, even though they are man made. I think that is why during the summer I always looked for hikes including waterfalls.

Were we went into the Secret Garden room and it brought back my memories of reading the book and watching the movie countless times. I had to ask for it for my birthday. I'm a nerd what can I say.
