It sounds like you also have been having alot of fun! Exciting for Ammon that he starts school AND soccer. I am dreading the day when Preston figures out the fridge, good luck!

That quilt is so darling, if it is a girl, will you help me make one? I really don't know how. Even if its just a rag quilt?

You are such a cute mom. I could never keep up with all that you do. You are so amazing!! Thank you so much for making cupcakes for Andrew's birthday. They were absolutely fabulous. Gilbert LOVED the raspberry ones and I LOVED the coconut ones. You seriously are amazing! Thank you!! I love the blanket you made for your sister. Where did you get the material? and how did you make it?
