If you read
Lola Again then you know that she has a friend opening a Quilt shoppe. Well, she is my friend too, and I also have been drawn in by the many bolts of fabric. I have been working hard at making samples for her shop, and at helping her organize. It has been so fun!! While I have been having all this fun my blog has been totally neglected. I will soon have some fun pictures of all the stuff that i have made for her shop.
This week I have heard some interesting things:
Monkey #3 informed me that I had 2 belly buttons and so did he. In his own words. "Mom yous belly buttons are big, mine are wittle" Go figure, I guess its time monkey 3 won't be seeing his mom without her shirt on anymore.
My little niece Pinkie informed her mom some great stuff. In her own words " Mom, Jenny is the best isn't she" of coarse her mom said yes. Then she made the mistake of asking her dad. His reply was " well, that depends" How rude!! I am after all the best. This little neice also thinks I am a princess super model. Once when she went by Victorias Secret she informed her mom that it was "Jenny's store" because of the super model pictures on the front of the store. I know what you are thinking. That I must run around in my laciness. This is not the case. It is just that I am so beautiful! HA HA!
Twinkle Toes has decided that she knows more about driving than I do. While going up the canyon this weekend, I was trying to put my suburban into 4 wheel drive. She was being a very nice backseat driver and telling me how to do this. She also has decided to be the speed limit police. Not funny. Especially since she is only 11.
Well, thats all for now. Hopefully I will have time to get those pictures of the cutest quilt shop ever up soon.

A lovely black eye. The trouble with being married to a cowboy man is that the little monkeys think they should be cowboys too. Recently our town had its little buckaroo rodeo. This is a rodeo where only kids participate. My 2 oldest monkeys decided that riding sheep was a great cowboy thing to do (that is until they were bucked off, layed on, and trampled!) Monkey #2 got this great prize after losing grip on his sheep! We talked him into thinking that is was cool though, and then he was as proud as any cowboy could be.
We also met up with our real hometown cowboy, Jess Davis. I am pretty sure he rides bareback. And no that doesn't mean he just rides around on a horse with he back all bare. It is a event in the rodeo. He rides professionally and is ranked #2 in the world, I think. Well, Monkey #3 saw all the commotion of autographs and pictures and decided that he needed a picture too.
Then he decided he needed to be a cowboy. So up he went onto Twinkle Toes' horse. I am such a good cheerleader for Twinkle Toes that I didn't even get a picture of her. She did 2 events in the rodeo. First she did the poles, which is an event where you weave your horse in and out of a row of poles as fast as you can, then she competed in the barrel racing. She did so awesome, especially considering she was the youngest in her age catagory of 11-15. She took 5th in the poles and 7th in the barrels. I didn't even get a shot of the Bearded Lady. I should have he was all dolled up in his cowboy finest.
My children, with the help of my mom of coarse, gave me this book. It is called The Host, by Stephanie Meyer. I can't wait to get into it. My mom gave me a bunch of stuff, including these chocolates. Yum, Yum. She also gave me the windchime that is shown below, and some much needed kitchen supplies from the Pampered Chef. She also brought me fresh cinnamon rolls for breakfast and went shopping with me. She is Great!!! I bought myself the new shoes. I think you should always be able to purchase something for yourself on your B-day.
My Aunt also crocheted these dishrags for me. She knows I love them. And the little wood things are used to hang a quilt up on your wall. The knobs unscrew and then you stick the quilt between the blocks of wood. I will sure be putting these to good use.
