the month of June

This summer is going by so fast! In about 2 and a half weeks Leslie will be home! Actually, only for a bit, she will be here with her mom until the 13 then she and her mom will fly to Oregon to see Leslie great grandma and will be home on the 23. For good!

Emily has been taking swimming lessons at a pool off-base. It is nice, but being an outdoor pool, Em does not like the cold water at all ! The great thing is, there are only 2 other kids in the class with Em. The class has finished the level one and I am hopeing that they can start the level 2 on Friday. They have 4 classes left. Then on the 22nd, the second session of swimming starts so she will do that also!

As for me, I have finished 2 picnic quilts, 1 doll quilt, 3 pillows for the dolls (I'm going to make pillow cases for them), another grocery bag(using a different pattern, I have another pattern to try out too), 2 church bags, and going to start on a table runner, oh and I have about 3 baby quilts that have been started, 2 more full size quilts that have been cut and waiting to be done, oh there is another quilt that i have started a while ago that is almost done just need to do the hand applique and then putting all the squares together! oh and I have two quilts that need to be binded before Brad gets home. ( he thinks that they are done ... unless he reads this, then he'll know that they're not!)

I have also been reading about 3 to 4 books at a time, and I think that I will start reading Harry Potter book 6 again before the movie comes out in July! I would also like to get all the Twilight books. I left the first one at Mom and Dads last Nov. when we were there. I am not sure where the second one went too and the 3 and 4 books I borrowed them from a friend.

Then tomorrow after swimming we have our ward dinner. On Saturday I won tickets to a comedy club. Next Thursday we're having the sister missionary's over for dinner, then Friday I am having a pampered chef party! Saturday the 20 Em and I are going to Breakers water park with the other Deployed family's. that should be lots of fun! Busy, Busy!

On news of the house, it's coming along, its just about done. The place where the cars should go is just about finished. I have two boxes left. I would love to just toss all the little thing on the ground that I am not sure what to do with, but I still need to make sure I don't need anything.

Brad is doing well, he is so ready to come home, and the girls want there dad home too. He should be home in the middle of August. I am hopping that he gets in before the 23 because I am going to Depeche Mode on the 23! and I would like brad to come with me!

So that is all for now!

You sound way to busy for one person. I'm impressed with all of your sewing. I have a new sewing machine that I never use. Post pictures of your quilts...maybe it will inspire me. :)

Gosh, I thought I was busy. My one quilt for Rob's baby is taking a while. Have you tried iron on batting? I'll be posting the one quilt I'm working on when it's done. I want to see yours too. POST POST..please!

Hi Shawna -- I found your blog on Camea's -- I can't remember if I've commented on it or not. I've got one, too:

Anyway, I have no idea how long it's been since I've seen you, but if we ever happen to be in the same town again, maybe you can give me quilting lessons since it sounds like you're a pro!
