Busy January!

Since Banner's birthday, her team has had 3 more games. They are 2-2 so far.

This girl was about a foot taller than Banner but she did her best to guard her.



We had to go to Las Vegas this weekend to pick up a vehicle for Jim's boss. We dropped the girls at Miranda and Brooks house and then traveled south for a delicious seafood buffet and overnight stay at the Rio. On our way back north we stopped at Best Buy in St. George to buy a computer for the ranch. Guess what we found? Wii Fit! The girls have been working out since we got home.

Banner's key to good health and fitness is hydration.




I went to Salt Lake on Wednesday for my Handiquilter training. Amazingly, I was the most experienced in the class. One woman has had her HQ Sixteen since Christmas and the other is still waiting for hers. Since I got mine in October I was an old pro(not). These pictures are of two of the three baby quilts that I have done the past week. They are all gifts for boy babies that will be arriving this spring.

I learned to do these cute flowers.




Not finished yet but you get the idea.




A close up of the back of the pastel quilt pictured. This one is for Jim's neice Katrina, who is expecting her first baby the last week in April.



This is a picture of my free gift for attending the quilting class. It is called a "Zippy" and I can snap my scissors on it(or anything else) and then clip it on my shirt. It has a line in it that extends and then retracts. My scissors were never out of reach while I was working on the quilts. Handy, Dandy, I love it.
