progress with a bit of the grumps~

well i have blogged a couple of times about this little girls blanket. it is slowly coming along. my friend CJ showed me a new way to do the binding, but you have to hand stitch it. honestly the first time i have ever really hand stitched anything. but it is coming along well. i have all of it done except for one little spot that have to wait until i see CJ again. she knows some trick with the binding to get it to come together a little more smoothly where two pieces meet that she is going to show me. but for now i feel good about it. once that last little bit of binding is done, it will just take a few minutes to finish up the hand stitching and it should be complete. i will post finished pictures when it is all done. here is a picture of my progress though~
i am excited to have it all done and ready for baby!
while busy working on the blanket kael was having a bit of a grumpy day. i tried to cheer him up by telling him i loved to take pictures of grumpy boys........

this was kael at his grumpiest telling me not to take anymore pictures.

then daddy got involved and this was his reaction.

garran is always so good with the boys and really knows how to make them laugh when they are in - well not the best of moods.

hooray for daddy!

Yeah... don't you love it when they save the smiles for Daddy! :o) I'm all too familiar with that one!

BTW... I told Meg about Saturday night and she's planning on coming. It's at 6 and NOT 6:30... correct?

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
