4th of July weekend

We got to go out to Vernon Reservoir to camp for the weekend.

We all had lots of fun and I can't wait to go camping again soon.

We roasted pigs in a blanket over the fire. That was a big hit with the kids and adults.

Reanna wanted them every night. But she is also a hot dog nut.

We also went to the reservoir to play in the water. The water was so cold that some of the kids wouldn't get in past there knees.

It took some talking but we got Reanna in the water.

After she was in she wanted to play with any one of the kids that wold go in with her. In this picture she is with Kaylee, JD's girlfriends youngest.

She talked Dillin into going in with her but that is about as deep as they would go.

Kelton was trying to catch crawdads with the net and Kaylee was throwing the stick in the water for the dog. Kyle didn't want to go in.

This picture is of Dillin, Kaylee, and Reanna. The sun came out from behind the clouds for a minute so they went in the water a little bit deeper. I have to say that it was so cold that I only went in to half way up my calf. The kids played in the water for about 3 hours I have to call them crazy.

Reanna called this "sink swimmed". She fell over in the water this was not what she wanted to do.

The rest of the beach bums. Kelton is the kid, then my mom, Shannon (Jeff's wife), Shanin (JD's girlfriend), and Wes

When the sun came back out Jeff went in to play. I don't know if Reanna stopped at this point or if Jeff did But Jeff said that his legs were numb. Reanna talked Dillin into going out again with her. Isn't is cute he held her hand so she wouldn't fall again. He likes her even if she is a girl.

On the way back in she "sink swimed" again. That was about all she wanted. So Wes, Reanna, and I went back to camp.

After everyone got back to camp Jeff took out his gun and shot it. The kids thought that would be fun so he let Kelton shoot it and helped Dillin and Reanna shoot it. My little girl takes after her dad in so many ways. The love of guns, 4-wheelers, and speed.

She is showing me the shell she shot.

Speaking of Dad, Wes should us what his Razor would no thanks to my dad that told him if he would clime the steep part he would give him $100. He made it up the less steep part and then everyone thought that I was funny. I was screaming at him to stop before he rolled it. Then I had Reanna standing by me and she wanted to try it. Heaven help me. I have 2 crazy people at my house.

This is the less steep side that he climbed. He is crazy. He gunned it to make it over the lip on the hill. My heart dropped.

He made it up the less steep side and after he got turned around he was going to try to go up the steeper side.

When he did his front tires came up and he went sideways. At that point is when I started to yell. Everyone was cheering him on and laughing at me but lucky for him he didn't try after that. He kept trying to talk me into letting him but I didn't want to pick him up at the bottom of the hill. He was not to happy with me for messing up his fun.After the commotion from the 4-wheeler was over we were starting dinner and JD grabbed Reanna and started to dance. I made him dip her 2 times so I could get a picture of them. It is to bad that no one likes her. :)

Our sale was great. We sold a lot of fabric but we still have a lot left so we are going to do it again in Sep or Oct. I wont to thank all of the helpers at the sale Karen, Elise & Denise. And thank you to Shannon for taking Reanna Wednesday - Friday. It was a lot of work but it was also fun at the same time I loved seeing people I haven't seen since the store closed. I got to talk with some of the ladies that took my beginning class. They told me about the quilts that they have finished and the fun things that they are going to do. I miss the teaching part of the store. But I am working on designing my own patterns. I have one done (the one I did and taught at the store), one that is very close to being done (I am teaching this quilt in Layton and Cedar at retreats), and I just started cutting out the one I am working on. I will have to blog it when it is done. This picture is of mom and Karen cutting fabric and Denise is behind Karen taking a break. I don't know about everyone else but I am very tried.

This is the empty bolts from 2 1/2 days of the sale. Jd was going to the dump so we sent them with him.

Wes took Reanna with him Saturday to Delta for his race. I couldn't go so I don't have any pictures from the race but he was in 2 different classes but he won both classes. Go Wes. My cousin Shelly and her family live in Delta so they came and got Reanna and took her to there house to play until the race started then they all came back to watch the race. Thanks again to Shelly and girls. When Wes and Reanna came home Reanna's cousin Kyle was here so Kyle and Reanna got to hold the trophies that Wes won.

Mom and I have been very busy trying to get things ready for the sale we are having. As you can see we were in a mess. We had fabric stacked every where. The notions were in boxes stacked allover.

This is the stack of flannel that we took off the shelves trying to put the cotton fabric in one place.

This is some of the other shelves. Some of you came to shop before the sale and seen first hand what a mess I was in.
After 5 days of hard work this is what we were able to do for the sale. Notice that the top of the shelves have very little fabric on them :)

This is where we put most of the flannel fabric. It is hard to tell but there is 4 tables in there.

(2 per row) Lots better then where they were.

This is the cutting tables and the register. We are having everyone come in the outside entrance. The first day we needed more cutting space. We had 3 people cutting fabric and we had a line with at least 10 people most of the time. CRAZY but fun. I have missed the store. Well the people not the hard work and stress.

Just a different view of the cotton fabric. No more boxes :) And don't you love the lighting We put up so we could see.
This is the tables of notions
