Topping Timp and Party Parents

Hey everyone, so sorry it's been an awful long time not blogging. I've had a pretty busy last couple of weeks, but mostly I've been lazy when it comes to blogging (Last post is plenty proof). So to catch up on all I've been doing I'll probably have to do a few post. Let's get started.
So most recently I climbed Mt. Timpanogos in Utah. Oiy was it hard! It's pretty cool to say I've done it, however, it wasn't very fun to do overall. Two of my roommates and I went with a group of people at midnight on Saturday the 3rd and climbed for 5-ish hours to the shepherd's shack. My room-roommate, Colleen, and I stayed there until like 7-ish. It was really pretty to see the sunrise, but it was freezing. So after all this fun we headed back to the bottom. All I have to say is that end of that hike I have never been so happy to see a parking lot or to take a shower. Once this whole ordeal was done I felt awful until Tuesday. I was so sore, it was pretty funny to see me walk :) It was a very painful Labor Day weekend.
This is my roommate Carly and me trying to get warm because it was freezing! (That was at the beginning of the hike when we were still happy!)
The beautiful sunrise.
This is how nasty my feet were. The hike ruined a favorite pair of my socks by putting a hole in the toe!

Labor Day weekend wasn't too terrible because my parents came up to see my newest niece Alexandra Kensington. She is so cute!
It was great to see my parents and party with them again. I basically have the coolest parents ever. Well I'll be continuing to update on my life. I still have to post new crafts and new friends (roommate intros) It'll be great! Have a wonderful day! This finally recovered hiker out!! ;)

Crafting, Quilting, my Cat, and Tripping.



So this weekend has been full of fun, fabulous crafts. On Saturday my friend Heather, who is amazing!, taught my sister, Hilaree, and my sister-in-law, Jeani, and I, Margaret, how to make really, really, cute flower hair clips. Here's mine:
It was so much fun. My sister and I went to town making tons of them on Sunday. I also finished my Autumn quilt finally!!!! (I don't think I will hand bind a quilt ever again!)
I designed the pattern for this one, and my wonderful mother was so kind to give me this adorable material. Isn't she the greatest... I sure think she is.
I would like to introduce the newest pet of our family, our kitty Goob.
Isn't he the cutest kitty! (He also loves laying on my Cowboy quilt.) He is quite a cutie, who is very silly; and he enjoys chasing his tail, which I've only seen dogs do. Right now my family and I are packing up to go on a semi-road trip out east. It's going to be a blast! And I will be sure to write about all the awesome things I'm doing with my incredibly great familia. Yay for fun! Traveling crafter signing out ;)
