We made a quilt for part of the reunion, and these were the little needle threaders. I would poke my needle down, and about 10 seconds later a little wobbly needle would poke back up so that I could pull it through. They got so good at it that I never had to tell her where to put the needle back up through-it was really pretty funny to see all these little needles wiggling up from the bottom of the quilt.
Hey Linds-had to post it! What is this a picture of? Showing a bit of "pre marriage jitters?" Jeremy made his official debut at the reunion-what a great guy! So happy for you Lindsey!
For every 15 minutes that you work on the quilt, you get to put your name in a bucket and then at the campfire at night with smores, grandma pulls a name out, and you get the quilt. Well guess who only worked 15 minutes on the quilt, but won? ME!
Going, going gone! The next three pics show Jaynee doing her best dive.
Nice form...
Who needs a pool any bigger when you can dive like that!
Kiley with his "jazz hands", proudly celebrating his victory on the tandem bike. Sometimes when we get together, we ride the tandem bike around the block as couples to see who can get the fastest time. Kiley and Christy have managed to win each time...just wait-one of these times I won't be pregnant, and then we are on for a real match!
So Kaylee took my place this year and did a great job! She is my little dare devil-look how she rode the whole time; why not? Make dad do all the work and just go along for the fun ride.
This was Jaynee's ride. Grandad let her ride the bike back to its home. She felt so special. Grandma and grandad have such a fun yard for the kids-a "secret garden", a play house with bushes all around for collecting berries and leaves for salads made in the play house, a big garden, fruit trees, a fire pit and lots of room to run and play. It is going to be a great memory of my kids childhood someday and I am so happy they live close enough that we can visit 2-3 times a year.

Man, you're making me really sad I missed it. You did the best job of documenting it though. Mariam and Christy need to take lessons.
ReplyDeleteOk that first pix of your kids under the quilt was adorable and why they were there!! What a neat way to involve their little hands with a family activity. Precious girls, Wen ;) You're the perfect mom for them. And Cam the superdad too. Hugs!
