MY NEW IRON

Rock bought me a new Iron. BECAUSE IT WAS PURPLE! I love purple things, and now I have a purple Iron. Now you might think that is weird, but All Quilter's Love Iron's. We show off our Iron's, so here is a picture of Mine as it admires itself in the mirror.

IS THIS GOING ANYWHERE?

GRANDMA DAY AT THANKSGIVING POINT

We all got together to visit the gardens at Thanksgiving Point to celebrate the end of Summer. It is a beautiful place. As you can see from the pictures below, most of the time the mom's were just taking pictures of the kids.

....Kathryn and Emma shared a towel after they played in the water.....

I somehow didn't get any pictures of all the pretty flowers...humm.

MEIKA AND SIENNA VISIT with their new dog

Last weekend Seth and Cairen came to Salt Lake for the Labor Day Holiday. While visiting her parents, they picked up a new puppy. We were so surprised how big Sienna is growing, and we just marvel how beautiful the girls are! It is so fun to have everyone around for Sunday family dinner so the cousin's can get together. By the way -- -- -- Brooke and Tom picked up the puppy's sister, so the cousin's have matching babies now.

BOOK RECOMMENDATION

THESE IS MY WORDS - by Nancy E. Turner

I would recommend this book to anyone! It is a great story written as a diary in the life of a young woman during the late 1800's in Southern Arizona in the wild wild west. It will pull at your heart strings with her joys and sorrows. Reminicient of Annie Oakley meets Rhet Butler. First one to my house can borrow it.

My Three Favorite Six Year Olds!

BRIANNA BROOKE NICHOLLS

Brianna is very sly because she is really smart, but she doesn't want anyone to know so she won't tell anyone what she knows. But we are starting to catch on because she couldn't contain her glee when her mom blew up all the balloons for her birthday party and she could identify all the colors correctly. She has beautiful curly red hair that everyone adores, and she just started a special kindergarten where she is learning so many things. Her favorite thing to do is to play with her sisters and try to do everything they do, but if they aren't around, she loves to play with her dishes and play cupboards. She also will let you read books to her over and over.

RIVER THOMAS GATTEN

He turned 6 in August and He Is All BOY! He started kindergarten this year. River loves to wrestle his older cousins McKay and Hunter. He also LOVES to play anything that is done with a ball. He is very handsome and loves his mom and older sisters to take care of him. He also loves his baby brother who is almost old enough to play tough stuff with him.
