Out at a Track Meet - Fun at the park

Dad and Son - Nick has started this new thing where he sticks out his bottom jaw like a bull dog, kinda cute. Not sure why he does that. :)
And bites his top lip.
I am on top of the world! This was so cute! I can't believe I actually got this picture fast enough. This play ground equipment faces the lake - he is looking over his domain and sticking his chest out. So funny.
Don't jump.
What a beautiful day it was. That's all for now.

Baby Girl Quilt for Kylie Rose

The softest quilt I have ever made... The back is this really soft velvety material that is actually quite stylish. Brown and pink patterned. I love the way this quilt turned out. It is the 3rd quilt that I have free style quilted with my machine, more and more practice will make the future quilts better... I also have two more quilts I need to post. I am learning to take better picture of them. I need to post Teresa's quilt and Storie's quilt. The first I free styled, the second was done by a long arm quilter up in Washington, my best friend's Mom did it for me. It turned out great! I will post those soon.



Here is the backing that is really, really soft! And I didn't use any batting, so it is a thing slinky quilt. Perfect for baby.


I love to make things cute and presentable. The presentation can sometimes make the gift even better than it actually is. :)
I am currently preparing for a bazaar of sorts, it's our City of Saratoga Springs carnival, I think. A girl at church approached me to do a booth with her and sell things. I am really excited! I will be making little dresses, and maybe decorating some onseys, and whatever else I can figure out in a month and a half.

Work has also been pretty busy. I am working on a new website : www.propertybuyingtrips.com
it is showcasing the Buying Trips that I have been going on, teaching clients how to research, view and buy Tax Foreclosure Properties at an auction. The last few have been in California and Pennsylvania. We are looking at New York for June, and I am excited to go there again! It has been like 9 years since I have been there last. It is upstate New York, near the border of Canada. Maybe since it will be so close to the border, my co-workers wont make fun of me for saying bag funny. Oh well...

Life is great. Now that I have a digital camera, I will be able to get some pictures up of Nick soon. I know Grandma (papa) and Grandpa (poppi) would like some pictures of the little guy. I will try to capture some of his hilarious "looks".

Until then...

An Anniversary Vacation with no sleep... :)

These pictures are in order chronologically in reverse... hahaha. Oops. We went camping Friday night at Toquerville Falls. It was the longest off road drive in the dark ever! We pretty much drove up the face of a cliff for like 20 min, could not see where we were going, if it was the right way. After three forks in the road, and miraculously choosing the right way... we made it to the falls! We set up camp, ate some smores and called it a late late night. It rained and stormed all night long. We were both afraid of a flash flood happening and didn't really sleep. Plus our tent almost blew away because the ground was like rock, and we could not stake it down, I tried.
After that night, we were still full of energy to actually have a vacation, even if it was only 48 hours, exactly. We went shopping at the outlets in St. George, and then off to vegas!
Actually we stopped in Misquite to drive some balls on the range, and make reservations for the next morning. Once in vegas, we found a room, eventually, and get settled and headed right out to have some fun. First on our list was the roller coaster at NY, NY. We were really excited for this! I already had a headache from all of the sun, I get heat stroke SO easily. Let's just say that after the roller coaster, my headache was 20 times worse. We headed back to the room, and I rested for a few hours to get rid of my headache. That roller coaster really threw me around!
We went out to all you can eat sea food for $40 dollars each, and I was still sick, and didn't eat one thing, what a waste... I made Zack eat enough for the both of us.
As for night life in Vegas, we went and watched the piano twins play for hours! We had something more to eat, and watched a few live concerts on the strip here and there. Very fun! There was a water show and pirate ships... the trip ended up being really really fun! After the outlets, and shopping in vegas and all of the charges to get everywhere... vegas is expensive!!!
So glad we went, we woke up early Sunday and missed our Nick and rushed home.
Thank you Steph for making this vacation possible. :) Enjoy the pictures...

Zack does not like mornings, he did this face on purpose. hahhaa
