All about Ty

Ty has had an adventurous couple weeks at school. This is his last year in elementary school and as 6th graders they have a all school 6th grade track meet with the other 5 elementary s in the district. Ty participated in the 100 meter shuttle run and got first in his heat with his teammates, he was also in the tug of war but lost the first round due to bad footing.
His class had a poem/music night. He will have a graduation in a week. Ty loves to make movies at home mostly about ninjas and fighting.
He is such a good kid we love having in our home.

We are back

Wow! What a long time it's been since our last blog, since before Christmas.
SOOO much has happened.
Ty had a great basketball season and we can't say much for Echos but she did have a blast. Siah quite his team due to his parents making him quit for bad grades.
January brought cold weather and miserable attitudes to go with it.
The kids birthdays were all in January, we did not do much only for the fact that we were packing to move.
We now live in Roseville out of student housing, Yeah!!!
In Feb. we celebrated the kids birthdays and had a fondue night with friends and more friends.
The last few months have been crazy due to the fact that it was Micks last semester of classes for graduate school.
We will post some pictures and more updates on the last few months.

Doing Service

Mick has been faithfully praying that we as a family could have service opportunities come our way and in the last 3 weeks they have come in ways we never thought. Cleaning, Fixing, and just being kind to others. Here is one example where we were all part of the service with an additional person Keating. Oh, I just realized two services in one night that is awesome! Mick was the CEO of this project, the fixing one.

The story of my quilting

Its been almost 10 years since I started sewing. The first 3 years I was a machine pumping out a mass amount of quilts but in the last 7 I fell off the earth and have forgotten how to use my sewing machine, not really but I have not produced a pieced quilt in years. I was inspired by a friend of mine by her having a baby so this is the end product. I think its pretty good since there are techniques I have never tried before and like I said its the first in seven years. I have forgotten how to quilt. Remember the scripture about the talents it is true don't bury your talents or they will be taken. It was a struggle to get through this quilt but made me realize that I can be a better sewer if I practice and use my talents. Don't look too close I had many flaws but hoping to get much better as time goes by.

Thanksgiving Treats

So, On Thanksgiving we decided to make treats for some friends. Here is the finished product.
Thanksgiving day was a great day we met up at the church building with a few friends to have a Thanksgiving feast. We played volleyball,basketball and watched movies; the time with our family and friends was relaxing.
Things that we are Thankful for this day
Jesus Christ
Family
Job

Home
Friends
and much much more....
