A New Leaf To Our Family Tree

Our little grand-daughter has finally made her entrance into the world! She was born yesterday weighing in at 7lbs-7oz and 19 1/2 inches. Delivery was smooth with big sisters Payton, Paige and Kari's mom Lynn witnessing this little miracle.






Paige was most impressed I think with her mother's breathing techniques she brought that up a few times to me. Here she is taking in a big breath and getting ready to push.











And along with new baby comes a new quilt. I sent this one out to The Bobbins Nest to be machine quilted thanks again to Elisa White for taking me on short noticed to get this done on time she did a great job as usual. The thread color she used accented it all wonderfully.








Right now if I can wrangle Haddie down we are both going to take a nap I am one old tired lady.

foto of the day

From the mountains, to the prairies

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.



Dennis and I were back on top of the horses once again taking,,, can you guess more pictures! We went up above the Bountiful *B* and headed south taking pictures along the way. I could not help but think of this song as I could see in every direction taking in all the colors that Utah has to offer, all though I did not see the white foam of the ocean we did end up at Willard Bay on JD's boat for the first time. What a riot watching the grand-kids having fun with one another and enjoying the day. We did not get there till late afternoon but still had enough time to watch (and hear) the kids scream at the top of their lungs being spun around on a tube while doing doughnut holes in the water.




















and what a difference having a zoom lens can make





and as we say out west....




Now out to Willard we go.

My Brother-in-law Doug invited me down to check out his sunflowers he had at least 500 hundred of them blooming to say the least I was in heaven. They have to be one of my most favorites. Not only did I see some great sunflowers but got to check out the rest of this garden. I was amazed at the size of it, so neatly organized it makes my little garden spot look like a window box in comparison.

a few more pictures I have been foolng around with, love this horse.
