Oh! Look I actually finished some projects. Its a miracle

Yes here are my finished cross stitch projects from 2009
The Thanksgiving and the Santa are old project I never finished after stitching them, and the others I did this year. I think my Favorite is the Halloween one, Rosalind insisted I do it after she saw it at the shop. BTW the sizes do not reflect any accurate sizes.

Halloween fun 2009

This year the Rose wanted to be a vampire. Nana as usual made the costume, she did an awesome job! Here are a few pictures of her all dressed up. Joe did the make up, pretty scary!

the Barnyard Boo and Scarecrow festival at Thanksgiving point.
My favorite picture is the one with Rosalind pretending to be a zombie pirate.

Pumpkin carving and the ginger bread haunted house

Trick-or-treating and what not
We had so much fun going out the friends to trick-or-treat, at the ward party, and as always aunt Donna's Halloween festivities.

Aggie Ice cream

I went up to Logan in october for a Stampin' up retreat, and I had to get some aggie icecream before I had to leave. Yum! If I had a larger freezer at home I would have bought more to keep here.

Rosalind the mushroom slicer

here is miss Rose helping me slaice up mushrooms for brunch at Don and Donna's. She looks pretty darn cute in That Vera Bradley apron Nana sent her.

Just some randomness

So here is one of many Rosalind self portraits!


Here we are after our flu shots, I am glad that the pediatrician does a flu shot clinic for all family members. We killed three birds with one stone that night.

CANNING!
So this year was my first adventure into canning. It was not as hard as I thought it would be, perhaps that is because of my friends Ariana and Amelia that I did it with. We also did peaches too, which are almost all gone now. We still have lots of pears, so next year I need to do more peaches and less pears.

This is the super cute sign I made at Enrichment craft night. I love how crafty my friends are who come up with projects like this.
Thanks Tina!

First day of school 2009!

First day of 1st grade!
Rosalind was so excited to be starting first grade, as was I. We woke up early and made blueberry muffins, and then went out side for a little photo shoot. What a cute girl, she even let me do her hair. It is hard to believe that she is that old already.

Oh and this year has been great!

Mr&Mrs Bowcut

So Joe's niece Karie got married back in August, it was a nice day and it is always fun to spend time with the Liechtys. Gee if only the kids were cute. Best of luck to the Bowcuts, and welcome to the family Brandon!

The picture of the building I had to take, The sky was so blue. The only thing that would make it better was if the for sale sign in the window was gone.

the last week of summer swim lessons

So here is the last week of swimming lessons for the summer! Wow! The summer went by fast. So now she is a real swimmer, we just have to go swimming other places during the school year so she will remember how. We went swimming with a friend last week and Rosalind swam across the deep end many times on her own, and went off the diving board as well!
YEAH! MISS ROSALIND THE SWIMMER!

Liechty Family Reunion 2009!

So this year we went somewhere up past Evanston. I can never remember the names of places. We left Friday evening a little bit later than I wanted to. Oh Well! That first night we camped on Joan and Paul's property where there cabin is, the land is amazing! Thanks to them for letting us use it. And then Saturday we moved down to the Uinta County youth campgrounds. Well I think that is what they are called. Anyway! We spent the day hanging out by the river, visiting with the cousins, eating way too much, and we had our family auction. Good day! Sunday was low key. We broke down camp so that when we wanted to go we could just get in the van and go. After packing up I got to take a real shower, they have actual bathrooms with tiled shower stalls! It was great. We did pot luck lunch and played games for awhile, then headed to the reservoir to paddle around in Brent and Beth's kayaks. Which was really fun, I think Rosalind could have stayed on the boat all day. We headed home after that. All and all it was another great reunion! Thanks to the Jenkins family! Looking forward to next year!

All of the kids!

Some of the local scenery.

Playing in and around the water!
And Joe! I like this photo! Joe says he looks like a mountain man!

And the there is Rose! I love the picture of her and uncle Brent in the kayak.

Shouldn't these be everywhere?

As we drove out to the family reunion in WY we came across these windmills. Now for as much wind that blows around here in Utah and in Wyoming don't you think we should see a lot more of these! Think about it! Plus they are kind of pretty!
