Creativity Abounds!

Well, actually I should just title it "Jill comes up for the Weekend". Why, you say? Well, I'll tell you. You know how I'm always complaining that all I ever get to hang out with is stinky boys? Well, this weekend, Jill came up. She arrived on Friday night. On Saturday, she, Ken and I set out for some shopping. Poor Ken. We dragged him to Tai Pan, Rod Works, JoAnn Fabric and a few others, then we went to see Mama Mia! It was a very crafty, all-girl type day - and Ken was such a trooper! Of course, there was a yummy lunch at Boston's and popcorn involved....



So - I had found a great picture for my dining room wall, but it wasn't quite big enough - it needed something else. So that was my main focus at Tai Pan. Jill spotted these cute baskets and we picked out flowers & grasses to go in them. Jill arranged them and we hung them up on Saturday night. We are very happy with the way they turned out.

The other thing I found was this saying to go on the wall in my office. We put it up this morning and I really like it!

Thanks for all the help Jill! It was great fun having you around!

Cloverleaf Campground

More camping. We took a long weekend and went camping up St Charles canyon (west of Bear Lake) on Friday. Mom & Dad were there, then me, Ken & Luke went up. Later that day, Jill, Matt & Rachel came up. Then on Saturday, Corey, Trevin and Brady came up. We went through Minnetonka Cave and hiked up to Bloomington Lake. The weather was great. We had good food and played lots of games. We laughed a lot.

Here are some pics. For more (and better!) pics, see Jill's blog at http://jillbesfavorites.blogspot.com/

Corey and Trevin at Bloomington Lake. This one's for Gram!

Luke & Trevin wading in the VERY cold creek (or is it "crick"?)

There weren't as many chipmonks as usual, but this one was cute!

My three awesome, cute, wonderful, great kids!!!
