Crafty's Bridal Shower

I have been working for weeks getting ready for Crafty's bridal shower. I used the last of Grandma Benson's blocks to piece one of her quilts and the other, I made from scratch. It turned out to be the prettiest quilt I've ever made.

We started setting up about 12:30. My Big Sis and L'il Sis both came to help as did Scout, Baby Doll, and K. The green quilt took forever to square up. Guests were starting to show up when I was still tacking the second quilt. Thankfully, all went well. 

Crafty was an excellent host and bride, so I'm not sure anyone even noticed I was running behind. 


Beauty was my #1 quilter. She probably tied twice as many knots as anyone else. I don't know how I would have finished the quilts without her. 

Princess got all the food set up and Duchess was an excellent helper. She even took pictures!









It was a good day.

Guest Blog: Gloria Falls by the Dog Walker

Ever since going to attend a Singles Ward for the LDS church, I've been trying to socialize and talk to girls by going to the FHE activities. For this activity, it was a short hike up the mountain to visit one of the most majestic waterfalls of Utah. It's been a long time since I ever been on a hike. I think the last time I've been on a hike was back when working on the Backpacking merit badge in Boy Scouts. It was a mile and a half up the steep rocky hill. When making it there, the waterfall was really beautiful, yet it was a little chill to be nearby when it's close to sunset. None of us knew why it was called Gloria Falls, but we were amazed by it. Have you ever been to Gloria Falls? If you haven't and are willing to go on a hike, you ought to see it. It's really beautiful.

Guest Blog: Unexpected Car Failure by Gamer

It's always fun to see husband and wife perspectives on the same event. Here is Gamer's story.

Unexpected car failure. Lead to being in Saint George another night. Bro in law's car broke down. Me and Bossy stayed behind to drive his car home today. Had some fun with the little ones at Pioneer Park while she worked at the hotel room. Will be heading home soon. Lots of fun and activities around town and at the hotel with the pool. 

It's funny, when I ask my sweetie to be in charge of pics, I get one or two. Gamer had 68!











These are my favorite!




He definitely has a mind of his own.
