Quilts and Juice

While Scott was in South Carolina my sister Margaret came to visit to help me juice my grapes and go to a quilt show that was right here in Layton. First we had to pick them and we didn't even get them all! Ben and Maddy had a blast holding the grapes and eating them. They had juice running down their shirts and sticky faces.





Then we put the kids to bed and got started. I inherited my mothers steam juicer but somehow lost the hose that goes with it so I stopped in to ACE hardware (love that place) and they helped me out, a person, a actual man asked ME if I needed help and knew what he was talking about and was able to help!
So we started at 8 p.m. and by 11 we had to stop we were so dead tired! I continued to juice the following two days and ended up with 16 quarts and 12 pints. I could have kept going but we were leaving town so we took the remaining grapes up to Scott's parents neighbors. However there are still plenty on the vine and I haven't even started the red grapes yet! Maybe next week.




Margaret discovered that there was a quilt show in Layton, how exciting! There were some real beauties! This was the grand prize winner,

and this was my favorite...

As I was putting down my favorite on a piece of paper and putting it into a box I over heard some ladies talking about it and I announced that it was my favorite and the artist was right there! I told her it was my favorite and she looked surprised. The best part of the quilt show were the vendors! Oh there were so adorable things! I bought a quilt pattern that you will be seeing soon. What a fun couple days with my sister!

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...
