Projects

Here's a sneak peek at the baby's room. I made the dust ruffle for the crib and and quilt is for the daybed so I'm pulling all of those colors in the room.

Nate wanted a quilt for the horse trailer so he picked out the material and would like denim in the mix. I think it'll look good when I get it all put together.

Here's the next project for me. I'm kinda surprised because its definitely frillier than what I would have thought I liked but I love the colors and I'll show more of the other print next time.

I have given most of these quilts away to family and have made a few for us (like the cowkid quillt). It really is easy to do, because if I can do it anyone can. :)

Labor Day Weekend

Well, traditionally Nate's gone to Flagstaff, AZ but we went for something different this year. We stayed a little closer to home but still had a break out of town, we went to Salina for a roping. It was a nice little trip. We needed a few supplies for the new horse trailer and realized we were in small town USA when the grocery store closed at 7 and we had to get what we needed at a gas station. Nate roped Friday nite and I felt bad because I fell asleep in the horse trailer catching up on sleep I'd been missing for weeks since school has started and missed watching him, but he's a sweetie and understands. Nate did well heading, unfortunately his heelers missed, so the trip was more for fun that to win money, but definitely worth it.
We came back to St. George on Saturday and I know its lame, but I spent several hours on Sunday and Monday at school getting stuff organized and ready. The count down's on and I only have 8 weeks left before I hand over my class to the sub and I've just got to have it all ready.

(I'm still working on transferring the video of Nate roping from the video camera)

Baby's Name

Sorry that the last couple posts have been so long! I try not to be wordy, but when there's info to share its got to be told. I know that I haven't posted our baby's name yet - not because its a secret, just haven't gotten to yet.

We went through quite a list, names Nate liked, names I liked, who we'd want to name her after ( which was the longest of them all) and how to pick a name that flowed: first, middle, last. We had the boy's name months before we were even thinking of getting pregnant, but a girls was harder. We thought that we would pick a couple of options and then wait until she was here, but once we decided we knew it was the one.

It needed to be unique, feminine and strong so we decided on:

Charlize Connie

Yes like the actress and the middle name is after Nate's older sister.

Charlize

(pronounced SHAR leez)

She'll probably be correcting it her whole life but we like it.
