here's what happened this week...

quilt for nixon cook

los angeles

Calgary West Stake Cub Car Rally, 5th Place

Yes, that is ELI in alien on the side of his car...  it says BURTON on the other side.

busy week here.

we've been given a possession date for our house, house, house.  june 22nd.  it's coming fast and furious.

the kids posed for a picture before church last sunday.  it was nice out, eli was wearing his seersucker, there was still snow on the ground, but hey, that's ok.

i finished a little baby boy quilt for our friends who just lost their little girl.  what a blessing to have a new baby enter their lives as their daughter has left.

i hopped on a plane on monday and spent about 48 hours in los angeles.  stacey, lisa, emily and i hit the coldplay show.  it was a goooood time.  it was really quick, but it gave me a good break from the daily mom gig {which really isn't that difficult, but testify moms, it's a rare and welcome occasion when you can travel alone and don't have to worry about anybody but yourself, no??} needless to say, i came back feeling ready to roll again.

eli had a cub car rally this weekend.  it was on a stake level, so there were lots of boys.  it was well organized and eli had fun.  he came in 5th with his alien invader car.

things around here are getting green.  we had the classic freak snow storm today covering everything with heavy, wet snow.  tonight it is mostly gone with just slushy spots left around.  good moisture.  i decided to start finishing a bunch of quilt tops i have stashed away.  i've been working on my halloween quilt.  i'll have to show you that tomorrow...
