Price is Right Episode Aired...

September 28th rolled around and that's the date our Price is Right episode aired.  I was terrified that I was going to look like the most ginormous crazy person.  Turns out, I'm not any crazier that anyone else in the audience!  There I am on the left.

Can I say again how absolutely fun this was??!!  So.stinking.fun.

Gordon Family Renunion...

My family decided to have a reunion at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes.  We ended up renting a super nice RV from Wade Beatty and had lots of fun playing in the sand.

Bubbies had fun riding.

I don't think Mark wore shoes the entire time.

We borrowed a RZR from Uncle LaDel.

Yellow jackets became a problem and Mikayla was stung.  Bummer.  So did some other people.  Merril and I escaped.

Time for a quilt!

We're just going to start out with sleeping Bubbies because he's so CUTE!

Ok, so it all started when we had some impromptu company and I only have 1 nice quilt that fits on a queen bed.  So I hurried and borrowed a quilt from Dana across the street for the night.  Afterwards, I was on a mission to make another quilt.  I've had some clearance flannel forever that was going to be the bottom.  It's navy blue.  So I went to Jo Ann's Fabrics and just started looking for anything to go with navy blue flannel.  I found this:

I wanted it to be plenty large so I put a little green edge on it.

I saw a quilt at Sara G.'s house with an initial.  Kinda thought it was cool so I stuck a huge "C" in the middle of the quilt.  Not sure if I like it yet.  It makes it seem like a super hero logo.  Which I guess I'm okay with.  Whatever.  I might pick it off and move it at some point.

I really love the finished product!

So does everyone else!

Apple Pickin'...

Springdale used to have an apple orchard that let customers pick their own apples.  Unfortunately, it was purchased by a private party and has been closed down for about 5 years.  :(  This was the first year I found a local apple orchard!  It's in Apple Valley!  

We picked too many.  They were $10/5-gallon bucket.  All the kids had fun picking apples.  It's time for applesauce!

Grandparents Bike Ride...

Grandma and Grandpa C. like to organize bike rides from their house in Winchester Hills down into town.  Mark and Mikayla quickly fell behind the older kids so I drove on the shoulder and tailed them.  Mark is killer on that wiggle car.

Mikayla is riding so well without her training wheels.

It's about 8 miles into SG and they made it about 2 miles.  They did great!

Peach Days Weekend...

Labor Day weekend started with Merril taking Maxine and Jack up Oak Grove trail with Dan Moore and his son Bennett.

Then we went to Peach Days!

The older kids played in the hamster balls on water again.

They also wanted to play in this weird bubble party thing.

Pretty much everyone was soaking after playing and we went home.
