It's been a while

Hello everyone!! I feel as though it has been a while and it has been, so for that I am sorry. Some things we have been doing as of late are as follows:

Listening to A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh in the car, which Gabey and I both enjoy.
Yardwork (forever and ever and ever at this house)
Young Women ( I was called as Secratary a month ago with a pregnant President and 1st Counselor and no camp director and camp is six weeks away. All the rosters were a year old and with a high turnover in our area, I had to go off three different lists to make new ones for everyone. But, it is all worth it.)
Hanging out with Jacob (I'm not sure why I like calling him that. He is done with the semester and we took full day off and enjoyed one another's company while Gabey hung out with Grammie, and the clan for an overnight, she is an angel! We went to PF Changs and stayed downtown at the Marriot City Center. What a great guy I ended up with.)
Hanging out with Grammie. (I've been running errands for Mom once a week, errands, cleaning apartment stuff, deposits. It has been nice to have a good excuse to help out. We also had the opportunity to go to a Quilt Show this last weekend. I am trying to convince Mom that she needs a quilting machine.......so I can use it:)
Working Hard on Mom's Mother's Day present. (Thanks to Amanda and her family and Jacob, I was able to, somehow, finish a stack and slash quilt for Mom. The owl fabric
was perfect, since Mom used to collect owls.)
Working Hard on Nanna's Mother's Day present. ( As I was working on Mom's I felt it was only proper to show our love to Jacob's wonderful mother, Zina, as well. I found perfect elegant fabric that fit her personality. I decidedto do another stack and slash quilt before Mother's Day and still had not finished Mom's yet. Thanks again to Jake helping out with Gabey I finished hers as well...Yes, that is right two gorgeous quilts in two weeks, I never knew I had it in me, however it will take a week for me to get the house and laundry under control, since that is what went neglected)

Jake and Gabey did a great job for Mother's Day. Gabey got me a Belgian Waffleiron with money from his Sears Blimp Bank that Jake gave him a while ago. who new two hundred pennies could buy such a gift?:) Jacob made me cry with his sweet catch of a lifetime card and gave me an awesome gift certificate to my hair place. I think it was more of a hint that my hair was in need of some help..:) Good job boys!
Mark likes to give me a hard time for writing too much and not enough pictures. I'm having serious issues with my computer, so I will post pictures some other time. For now you can visit Jake's personal page www.jakepippin.com to the "gallery" link to see his fantastic Pictures of Mother's Day and more.
Love you all!
