Life is good

Well, this morning my sister left on a jet plane and I don't know when she'll be back again and I already miss her, we had so much fun together and with our mom and dad too.
So, as soon as my sister left the building I started making Strawberry freezer jam. I ended up with 19 pints and I am just tickled with the yield.
Would you take a look at my finished Bohemian bag, this is a cutie and I will tell you it took a little work to finish, but I love it! I think in the fall I will make another. I am so thankful for my sister Lori and I am glad she had the opportunity to come to Utah and relax a little, I think she may be in for a few awesome changes with her family (wink,wink).

Purses

O.K., I think these will be the main projects for Lori, Mom and me for this get-together. Mom and Lori are making a Birdie Sling bag and I am making a Bohemian bag. We shopped for fabric together and we have been working off and on for the last 3 days on these. I think we might finish them before Lori goes home on the
30th. Wish us luck.
P.S. Lori and I met my husband Mike at the Draper Temple and went through a session together, after we had lunch at Olive Garden and had a wonderful day. I love my husband, he is a great guy.

Tulips

When my sister and her sister-in-law Devra arrived Tuesday we had lunch at the Paradise Bakery and somehow our conversation went in the direction of vaginas, I think what provoked this was a sign for an Italian restaraunt with the name La Vigna. Anyway, I proposed that the vagina be referred to as a flower name such as an 'Orchid' (isn't that prettier than vagina?), or what about a Tulip?

Flip Flops

Sister and I went to the mall today in search of our official 2009 flip flops. After stopping at See's for 2 rum nougats each we decided on the Vans flip flops. Due to the recession we were more frugal than usual on this purchase and we both feel very good about that. Tomorrow we are going to meet my husband at the Draper Temple and I am so excited for Lori to see it inside.

Gardner Village

Today Mom, Dad, Lori and I ventured to Gardner Village and we had great fun. These pics of Dad, Lori and me are funny to look at because we were taking turns holding the camera out in front of us and trying to get us all in the pic. We giggled so hard at ourselves when we checked out the pics, then finally an innocent bystander helped us out and got all three of us in a pic.
Aren't my Mom and Dad such a cute couple?

Sisters

Can I tell you all that tomorrow my sister will be here for 10 lovely days! She, and I had such a wonderful time at Thanksgiving just hanging out. I wanted to share this pic of us last November on our way to Sonic for a Diet Coke. Love you sister!

Let's get physical

After enjoying that delicious trifle I thought I'd better get out and get moving, so I stretched and ran 4 miles, NOT.
I borrowed this pic from Fat & Sassy & Mr. Wonderful, my niece Shawny's boyfriend's mom's blog. She is so funny I laugh out loud when reading her blog. You can check Keola's blog out at fatsassyandmrwonderful.blogspot.com.
