Recap

I guess it's about time for us to fill everyone in on what's been happening this past month. Or two. How long has it been? Best way to do this is to throw a whole bunch of pictures out there, so here we go:

Ha, I'm starting you off with my toe. I played in an outdoor 2 on 2 volleyball tournament a few weeks ago, my first and only outdoor competition this summer. This was a week after Jer and I gave blood. I mention that because of the next picture you'll see. Anyway, the toe. At some point, as I was diving around on the grass, I rolled on my toe and I thought I broke it. Needless to say, the last few games were a little rough.

So, apparently it's not a good idea to play volleyball for an entire
Saturday the week after you give blood. Here is my arm when I got home, I didn't even notice it during the day but by the time I got home I sure did.

For one of my Young Men activities my group went downtown to look at the Norman Rockwell exhibit put on by the Boy Scouts. Before we went to the exhibit the boys wanted to go up to the roof of the Conference Center. I invited Jer to come with us to see the paintings, so this is us on the roof at sunset.

Another picture up on the roof, I really liked it up there. It was my first time and it's amazing to think about all that up above you as you are standing inside the building. I thought this picture was pretty, but it also makes me laugh. I happened to notice the guy on the left doing a Superman pose...

Skipping ahead in time, Jer and I decided we needed a new quilt since mine is getting worn out. We asked my mom if we could come over for Conference weekend and spent the weekend putting our new quilt together. Jer took this one of herself as we were tying the quilt, notice the yarn in her hair. My cute wife. :)

Me and my cute mom as we started tying the quilt.

Me and Moose looking at each other as I sat tying the quilt. Funny story here. At one point Moose was sitting by me, sort of like in this picture. Jer was in a chair on the other side of the quilt. Moose decided he wanted to go over to Jer, but instead of going under the quilt to her he jumped onto the quilt. Luckily, the quilt was clamped on real well so it didn't collapse on us. Moose still tried to make it over to Jer but you could see he was really scared. We though it was hilarious! Poor Moose spent the next 30 minutes as close to Jer as he could possibly get.

Here is our quilt! It's nice and big, and Jer did a great job of sewing it all together. Jer took this picture to show the difference in the two sides of the quilt.

What else... Jer has been learning how to knit from her cubicle neighbor at work. This is a shot of her, and the puppies, as she is knitting a scarf. And yes, that is a bobcat on the wall.

Picture of me in my pajamas walking the dogs. Jer and I try to take the puppies over to the school down the street and let the dogs run if nobody else is there.

Poor, sad puppies. They never like bath time. It's pretty funny when it's time for them to get washed, they know it's coming and try to hide.

Lastly, here is a funny picture of Moose. I was sitting at the computer with my foot up on the sofa arm, when Moose decided to join me. So, he laid down on my foot, propped his chin on the back of the sofa and fell asleep. It was hard to get the picture taken without making him move, I was laughing to myself the whole time.

There you have it! We have more to write about, but I'll do that another day this week. We had a busy but fun weekend so that deserves a post of it's own. Hope everyone is well!
