An Adventure!

My adventure started with my luggage getting lost.  Megan and I went back to the airport at 10:30 after being told my luggage was there waiting for me.  WRONG!  There was another suitcase there (a leopard one) with the tag Johnnie Lewis.  Oops now my luggage is heading to the Rio Casino so we headed back home with a $50 Southwest voucher in hand.  SW called again the next morning and we headed back to the airport.  This time is was there and they gave me another $50 travel voucher.  SCORE!  Good thing Megan is only 10 minutes from the airport.  At least I have $100 towards another trip.

Here are a few things we did while Megan and Justin went to Utah to look for a house ~

Jack at Run Plus Fun

Lincoln & Coleman coming down the slide

Lincoln is so funny.  Several times he said:  This is hilarious or Let's get this show on the road  He also said, Church is fast on Fast Sunday but it's really slow on Slow Sunday.  I love 5 year olds!  Especially this cute one!!

Dinner at Panda Express

The boys enjoying their rootbeer floats and a movie

Linc enjoying the movie

Coleman calls me Crappy or Grandpa!  Whenever he spills something (which is often) he quickly gets a towel and attempts to clean it up.  He loves taking pictures with my camera and cell phone and loves looking at the pictures I take of him!

Jack seriously into the movie.  He has been such a big help to me!!

Fall Projects

I love fall and I love creating things, so I have been excited to get into the season. Unfortunately, the weather is not cooperating but that is not stopping me. There are so many more things I want to make.  Here are a couple of my fall decorations and a couple of projects I have completed.

Being Appreciated

It's always nice to be recognized and appreciated. I am not a big fan of See's candy, but I do like the caramel ones so I picked all those out and shared the rest with my co-workers.  Three pounds of chocolate....  I was very popular at work for a few days!!

Amy Knows....

It was a great three day weekend and I got a little taste of what retirement will be like and all I know is.... I am going to love it and I can't wait. 

• I slept in until 8:00 every morning and stayed up until midnight
• I worked on some fun projects (see below)
• I rode my bike on the bike trail (2 days alone - one day with a friend)
• Had In N Out Burger at 2:30 in the afternoon
• Listened to oldies music while I sewed
• Watched Season 2 of Parenthood
• Video chatted with Owen (I did most of the chatting, Owen did most of the staring)
• Cleaned my house
• Walked around Michael's for an hour
• Talked on the phone
• Made some baked goods to freeze for gift giving

Burlap Fall Wreath.  The flowers can be removed and new ones added to go with the season

Back to School clipboards for Jack and Lincoln.  All I need to add is the dry erase markers
I bought the clipboards at Wal-Mart for 50 cents each, painted them the boys favorite
colors, and applied the vinyl that I ordered.  The graphics are just scrapbook paper modge
podged on.  A fun easy project.  I hope the boys like them and use them

This was an experiment to see if I could Modge Podge.  I have not done it since
they called it Decopage which was about 20 years ago.  Too made I did such a
lousy job of centering the picture.  This will be a re-do.

I am making this quilt for a friend's granddaughter. It is not quite done.  I have not
finished sewing it yet.  This one is not going together as easily as the first strip
quilt I made for Owen.  I do love the pink though!

And of course, Owen was very happy about the BYU win!!

I have to say it was a great weekend and I am looking forward to more time off the end of September
