warming up

warming up

*i think i will start posting my favorite pictures of the girls on thursdays.

*thanks for the work out ideas.  when i hurt my ankle in january i got out of the workout groove for a while and if is so nice to be back into it.  it's amazing how much better you feel when you work out and eat good.  have i mentioned i have not had a piece of candy in almost a whole month?

*thanks for the compliments on the quilts. the ones my mom quilted she did on her regular old sewing machine, she just drew the lines (actually she eyeballed the first one- impressive!) and then sewed. it's really actually pretty easy.  i just sat at the machine and did swirvy lines that i wanted to look like seaweed.  if you want to make your own quilt- i always pass along my friend kelly's baby quilt tutorial, it's great. and also heather bailey's quilt binding tutorial is easy to follow.  

* we are going to san diego next week. luke has a map nerd conference to attend and so we are along for the ride.  should be fun.  it will take my mind off the fact that my family is going to lake powell and i am not.  boo.

*ivy, although cute, is a whining machine the last few days.  it is driving me crazy.

*i need to go pack.  

*ivy is crying.  velzy is sleeping.

*i have been daydreaming of days spent at waimea and pounders getting womped with all my bestest college friends for the last couple days.  daydreams inspired by this (click on the picture for more pictures).

So, I have a quilt pattern that I want to make. It has the binding on the edges too. Is that tutorial easy enough for even a beginning like me?!

I'm sad you guys aren't in Hawaii too. It's like a fish out of water without seeing pics of you guys there. Will you go back?

I love the warm pavement after playing in the sprinklers. I've been trying to get Taj into it and finaly this summer he trusted me and LOVES it too.

I'm in a total workout rut. I run most mornings behind the stroller, but it's getting boring and my body is so used to it that I went from maintaining to looking like I'm prego's or something. I gotta step it up. Thanks for a little motivation.
