Getting Fancy

I just took this picture of Pheb's getting ready for the ward Halloween party tonight. Her costume is Fancy Nancy. Her hair needs to be fancy, so we attempt to do curlers again. She found my old pair of glasses. Doesn't she look like an old house Frau? Brian says she looks like a school teacher.

I got tagged

Last week, my friend Julie tagged me. So here are my answers. The tag was on 6 things that are quirky about me.
1. I critique Dairy Queens. I worked at 2 DQ's in high school and college. I have a high standard for them. I can't stand dirty tables or doors and the swirl not being right on the ice cream cone. My dad thinks I need to own one, so I can do it the right way which is my way of course.
2. I never forget. I am like my Grandma. It takes a lot to upset me. But when I do get upset, I never forget.
3. I have to have peanut butter on my pancakes and french toast. It is a must.
4. I can't stand it when Brian scrapes his fork when he eats. It's almost like the sounds from the dentist.
5. Brian and I are starting to finish each others sentences. I know this isn't really a quirk. I just thinks it's funny that we can do this. Next on the old married list is wearing matching shirts and jackets.
6. I have inherited one of me father's traits. An obsessive researcher. I will research something to death. Brian can't stand this. I get something in my head and I am checking everything I can before I get it.

I have a few more quirks but Jaxon didn't want me to tell anyone. I am suppose to have 6 other people be tagged but I don't know that many.

My new quilt

This is my quilt I just finished for the quilt shop I use to work for. It was suppose to be done a month ago. It took me longer then I expected. I really like it. It's going to be our winter quilt for our bed. Phebe took the picture for me. She did a good job.

Fair fun

We went to the fair last weekend with Brian's parents. We got to see a little bit of the rodeo, a few barns of animals, the vendors in the sundome, the ag building and rides. The rides were the kids is favorite part. This year Jaxon discovered the big kid rides. He rode a ride called the cliff hanger. He's laying down in a hang glider going around in real fast. He loved it. Phebe just loved everything. She got to go on the ferris wheel wiht Jaxon and me. I remembered why I don't like the ferris wheel. To high and a lot of wind. We had fun and plenty of fair food.

Apple Picking Time

Tis the season to pick apples. It is a family tradition to go pick apples with my grandparents and parents. This year my parents were not able to come. Poppop likes to load us up on apples. We usually get three to four boxes full. We never seem to get them all eaten before they go bad. We decided to go small this year. We tried. Poppop kept giving us more. Lucky, Brian's parents were with us and they got some and so did Brian's work. You can see Phebe's curls. Jaxon loved picking the apples from the ladder.

Girly Do's

Phebe let me and her grandma play with her hair. She looks so cute. She wanted to keep her curls, so she could look like me. We are trying to talk her into putting rollers in again. She doesn't want to. I don't think she wants to sleep with them.

Wolf

Jaxon received his Wolf last week. He also got a gold and two silver arrows. He needs four more electives in the next month to get another arrow. Hopefully, we can do this.
