Happy Birthday Emily

I'm now the mother of three teenagers. My mother laughs and laughs. Surely I wasn't the typical teenager, was I mom? Mom?

So Happy 13th Birthday Emily Grace. You're pretty sweet...for a thirteen-year-old! (Just kidding) Maybe we'll make that trip to China before you turn 16 (I really don't remember saying I would take you to China but you swear it's true).




And of course Happy Birthday to my dear, sweet, generous husband. The same day. Two birthdays. Well, there's three birthdays in the family that day as my older brother's birthday is the same as Em's and hubby's. So Happy Birthday to all three!

Houston report!

The road trip wasn't just "all quilts":

It's time to Vist the Big Armadillo!

It's time to head to Houston for the International Quilt Festival. Mrs. D and I are heading south and this time we're taking passengers. Our DDs are in tow and heading to the quilt show with us. Sweet!

And of course, we'll have to introduce them to the Giant Armadillo.

Happy Halloween!

We have several pumpkins to carve and some candy to get ready to hand out.





What will you be doing this Halloween?

Buttercup says "Hey"

Silly girl.

Blue, blue, blue

Morning glories have taken over my garden. They have re-seeded and gone crazy, growing and twisting around any other plant in the garden.

But, they are pretty. I love the blue variations that pop up.













So pretty! Too bad that they are not a flower that you can cut and bring inside. I enjoy walking out to visit them each morning.

And these are just a few of the too-many pics that I take. Blue, blue flowers. Click on the pics to get a bigger view of blue.

The little red, star flower is Cardinal Climber. It re-seeds also. And hummingbirds love it.

Happy belated birthday Easy E. Aw, you're now 17. I hope you had a fun weekend traveling and visiting family. Love you lots, sweet kid.

Happy 15th Birthday

Happy Birthday baby girl.

Wearer of cowboy boots. Artist. Awesome helper. Sweet. Nice. Doer of-your-own-thing.
