A Great Visit!

This past week we got to have a wonderful visit from my Mom, Stephanie, & baby Lexee! Mom spent the first week with us while Steph & Lexee spent time visiting their family, then they joined us for the last weekend! We had a blast! We have so many wonderful memories from it & I wish I had taken more pictures!

First off, Mom made us this beautiful quilt! We had a ball picking out fabric. She is so talented! It's a halloween/fall quilt & I adore it! Mom had a great idea of making it a 3 generation quilt, she did most of the work, measuring, cutting, sewing, basically the mind behind it all!(: I sewed one block (grateful I didn't do more and ruin it) and then we had it quilted and mom has it back home with her for my Grandma Welker to bind! It will definitely be a treasure in our home forever! (I'll post pictures of it when it's completely done!)

We had many adventures with mom! We went to this little boutique shop and I found this beautiful pitcher! On our way home we passed by wild sunflowers & stopped and cut a few! They were gorgeous, but little did we know that we'd have a caterpillar, CENTIPEDE, and 2 spiders the next day!):  

After a full week with mom of sewing, laughing, shopping, a football game, and fun Steph & Lexee came! We played and played and laughed some more! Curt was so cute with Lexee! They played on the swings and read books and drove around the grocery store like maniacs in the cart! She was a ball of fun, we really enjoyed having her here! We had a shooting act. and everyone came along! Steph loved it and it was so much fun seeing Curt teach her! We also went to the demolition derby! Always loads of fun! I'm sure they all think we live in a hokie town but I think we all had a great time! Mom took some pictures of Curt & I that we really enjoyed & while we were out by the fence horses came out from, it seemed like, no where and were very friendly. Lexee wasn't quite sure how to react, but did pretty well! (The rest of the pictures are all from this little paragraph!)

Somehow this quilt picture ended up at the bottom, but this is the halloween side!(: Mom did such a fabulous job!(: We sure loved having family here and are so grateful they'd take the time to come see us! You're always welcome(all of our family)...we love you and can't wait for Thanksgiving!
