April and May

What is old saying? Time flies when you are having fun! That is how I have felt lately.  We have been having fun, but time has sure flown by. I can't believe it is the end of May already.  Here are some things we have been up to:

Kaelynn has been making barbie clothes to match her outfit!  She is wearing a dress I made for me, but I have to say it looks better on her.  Her barbie is wearing a matching dress made by Kaelynn.

We finished my April project!  We painted this table.  Here it is with the primer coat on.
We ended up painting it Navy Blue .

We had a fun Mother's Day weekend in St. George.
 We went to the Splash Pad with  Laura and her  children.
Kaelynn is enjoying herself to the max!  She loves water.
Here is Cooter trying to warm up after running up and down the stream and running in the big fountain.
 Tyler taking a drink after running through the big Water Fountain!

We went camping for David's birthday... He found some wood to chop and had a fun time splitting logs on his birthday! I hope I can split logs when I am in my 60's!

Here is our makeshift campsite in Nevada about 30 North of Ely.   We found this nice valley and enjoyed a nice steak dinner.  

Driving into Wendover!  Wendover Willie is there to welcome us.  After Wendover, we drove into Salt Lake City and stayed for 2 days in a nice RV park. 

The Eclipse.... Here is David in the "Sweet Spot" Kanarraville, Utah.   Not the best picture since all you notice is the SUN.... and you can't even tell the moon is over shadowing the Sun. 

The people were lined up for miles on the road to Kanarraville.. we saw tents, picnics, cameras, telescopes... it was  fun to be in the Sweet Spot and see all the people gazing at the Sun. 

The welding helmet we used to see the eclipse.  We weren't the only ones using a welding helmet!  Some people next to us had two and they were wearing them and walking around!  

Helmet Head!

This is what it looked like through the lens.  You could see it better than this, but this shows you the color.  Just looking at that picture hurts my eyes... don't stare at it!

My April project almost done.  I still need to put in sleeves and hem my dress. So far, it is turning out nice.  Instead of an Easter Dress it will be a Carson Blessing Dress!

My May project was to organize some of my sewing and crafts.  I used these boxes and they turned out nice.   I will also finish up my dress and make a baby blanket for a friend.

June Project is to make a quilt using this material.   This will be for the sewing room/grandkid room. 

June project is to finish this bag.  I have it cut out (2 years ago) and now I need to sew it .

Life is Wonderful.... blog on.
