Fall Drive

A while ago we took a drive in the south hills to see some of the amazing fall colors. Joe had fun going off-roading, and I love the pictures we got! On the way back on the paved road to Kimberly (after all the gnarly rocks and ruts and all that) the back window to the shell on the truck just decided to fall off! Amazingly when we went back the window wasn't even broken! I'm not sure how we will attach it again, but oh well! Here's some of the pictures.

Another bib

So here's the latest knitting project I did. This one is for my nephew Jonas for Christmas. I get these patterns from Ravelry.com. The lady whose patterns they are is Elaine Fitzpatrick, who goes by cloverlaine on that site. Anyway, just thought I'd give credit where it was due. These are really fun to make. I like doing them when I'm watching a movie. Its kind of hard to tell what it is from the picture. I'm not sure why I can't get a great one with my camera, anyway, it is a reindeer.

Knitted bib

I just wanted to show off the bib I made for my nephew Finn for Halloween. It was a lot of fun to make! I am really liking knitting. It is relaxing and helps me feel like I'm accomplishing something!

dishcloths

I made four dishcloths for my cousin Lindsay. She just got married on Friday and I'm very excited for her! Anyway, I thought it would be fun to try to knit her some dishcloths. The "O" ones stand for the first letter in her new last name...I try to be clever sometimes.... So I hope she likes them and I want to tell her congratulations!!!

I have found that knitting can be very relaxing. It also helped me stay awake during conference this weekend, which by the way, was very amazing!



Homecoming princess

Jackie got voted in as Kimberly High School sophomore homecoming princess! She looks so beautiful in her dress. We watched her in the parade and then at half time at the game.

Cross-Country Meet

Jackie is in cross-country this year. She is pretty much amazing because I would never have done anything like that in high school. Anyway, the day of this meet, it was very hot outside! Jackie did a great job. She was one of the better runners! Here are some pics!
