Help Us Save Trever!

My sister Joy is having a bone marrow drive for my nephew at Hillcrest High School Sat. Sept. 11th 9am-12pm. Volunteers are needed to help with testing. Any health care background would be great, but any one 18+ is welcome. Also if you are unable to donate marrow, we do need donations for the cost of the kits, which are $25 (you are not required to pay only asked to donate). Any help is much appreciated.

Trip to California :)

Thanks to Mom and Dad Thatcher for a wonderful vacation!!!!  Here are some fun pics from our trip.

At Grandma and Grandpa's house




At the kids' play place in the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  It was like a water bed thing so that they could feel the waves.



My first time at Cannery Row, has any one read this book?  It's pretty interesting.  I like how it was written.

Asleep on the drive back from Santa Cruz and our visit to Aunt Joan and Uncle Richard.  Thanks so much for dinner!!!


Pier 39 & Hard Rock Cafe










Sea Lions: Me to Ivy, "See the sea lions?"  Ivy, "Rooaar".


On the drive to Grandma Gilbert's house.








At Grandma's house.


It was so good to see everyone!!!  Can't wait to do it again!!!!!!

Easter and Stuff

Ivy and her friend Anna at our ward's Easter Egg Hunt...it was over by this time and the girls were cold and ready to go home, that's why they look so super excited to be there, lol.

Here is Ivy's Easter outfit that I made for her.  I got the cute pattern for the dress from my good friend Tara and I knitted the hat from a pattern on the yarn I bought.  It was a lot of fun to make and I learned some new skills doing it :)

My Mom's birthday gift this year.  I also found this pattern on the label of some yarn that I bought.  I love to knit!  Mom lined it with some cute polka dot fabric and it turned out super cute I think.

And last but not least, this wedding cake that I got to help Tara Gates with for Tandra Thomas' wedding.  It was a fun, crazy, stressful, and I'm not sure I ever want to do a wedding cake again, but a really great experience type of cake.  (no, that's not them in the photo frame...this was the night before the wedding reception and they wanted to put a photo of them from the Temple)

Projects

My first knitted scarf...Thanks to Cindy Barnes for helping me to learn more about knitting!!!

Crochetted handbag...this one has been in the works for ages.  Finally finished it last fall.

Reversible Christmas tree skirt.  Thanks go out to Susan Johnson for all the help!!  

I couldn't have done it without her!!!!!  My mom also helped out :)  Thanks Mom!

Fun self-binding receiving blanket...awesome tutorial here.

And thanks to our tax return, we got to buy and put together this awesome new dining room table and chairs today!  We'll also get a bench that matches the chairs, but they didn't have any in stock, so it will be another couple of weeks.  Gotta love getting tax return money :)
