The week before we moved my mom came to stay with me and the boys while Matt was in Burley. It was fun to have her there with us...it was a good break for me and the boys liked having "mama" there to visit. My mom got a glimpse into the crazy life of young mom (I think she might have forgotten what it is a like). She especially got a kick out the 10 lb bag of chocolate chips crashing to the floor, the plant rack crashing to the table and sending broken pot and dirt EVERYWHERE, and the choas that ensued at 3:30 when the boys got home from school!! Mama took Zander for a bike ride one moring and he loved it.
We got a LOT accomplished during the week. Monday was spent in Tri-cities shopping for material; Tuesday was spent canning spaghetti sauce and cutting squares of material for quilts; Wednesday we cut MORE quilts squares, did a rush cleaning on the house for a showing, and a picnic at the park; Thursday we went to my DR appointment where my mom got to hear McKay's heartbeat and then we spent the rest of the day sewing the quilts together (1 twin size and 1 double-to match the crib bedding I got for McKay...I think we matched it quite well); Friday morning we left and headed back to Boise where the boys and I dropped off my mom and then we headed on to Burley to visit Matt.

Those quilts look so cute!! How fun was that to be able to quilt with your mom. You have inspired me to get back into quilting. Fun...
Loooove the quilts! I've been planning on making some quilts for the kids and I love the look of the ones you made. You have inspired me for Treys quilt. I hope all is going well with the move. Have the boys adjusted...have YOU adjusted? I love the blogs...it allows me to keep in touch with my favorite people even though we have moved. Bytheway...since you love quilts and crafting...you need to check out my fav sites that I have listed on my blog. I think you would really like them. Keep in touch!
Wow I can't believe you guys are gone..... How about your awesome visiting teacher that never called or stopped by to see if you needed any help...... ya thats me.. I didn't realize you were leaving so fast. Hope you like Burley. Have your boys adjusted to the new school, new church, and new friends???? Where are you guys leaving? Hope all is well.... Your baby pictures look really cool. I can't believe the things they can do...
You don't know me, but I wanted to officially welcome you to Burley. I am married to Brent Darringtons cousin, and Becky informed me you were moving here. If you have any questions or anything that we could help you with let me know on my blog and we'll get in contact. Good luck!
Love the quilts, they are so cute. Glad to hear that you made it to Burley. How are things going? Is everyone adjusting? We really need to come and visit you guys, now that you are closer. Good luck with everything.
