My First Patch Quilt


When Devan got his job at BYU we were left with a pile of brown pants (most of which had huge holes in them) and a bunch of gray and blue shirts that had his name embroidered in to them. One day I had the thought..."Hey, we should make a quilt out of these clothes." At first it seemed like a good idea. Then about 2 months in to the project I thought "this is a horrible idea." But now that everything is finally all done I'm glad I did it. I had a lot of help along the way. One day Massiel and Cyndi came and helped me sew squares together. Massiel at one point also helped me cut the squares out. Plus I had a great little helper names Devan. He did a lot of sewing. Plus he is a pro at quilting. I'm proud to say that we are finally done. I think the whole thing took me about 4 months to complete. Here are some pictures.

Scott's Birthday


This is the year that most of the "friends group" is turning 30. Scott's birthday is just 2 days before mine. This year we did a quaint little dinner at Olive Garden and then the Scott, Sarah, Devan and myself headed over to the shooting range. Here are some pictures from our evening.

I love pictures that catch Devan laughing.

Devan and Sarah are great at reloading magazines.

Check out that one right in the middle. That was my money shot of the night.



Meet zombie Bin Laden. Sarah aimed high...I aimed a bit lower.
