Now that I am an empty nester I have a little more time to do projects that I want to work on. I saw this duffle bag at one of the quilt shops in Utah and I thought it was so cute and I wanted to try my hand on making it. I bought all of the stuff I needed and I got to work on it. First I quilted the material on my machine and then I cute it out and by following the pattern I was able to get it done. It looks so cute and I am so proud of myself for how well it turned out. There are a few mistakes, hopefully only noticeable to me. I really love it and am excited to use it!
I went to Bryn n to get my nails done and I had her take off the cute polish from August and since it is September I had her do a fun Halloween design. It is close enough to October and I love spooky so I did Halloween.
We have been wanting to get a new Traverse and Kefford has been looking around at different dealerships to fine a new 2026 Traverse in the blue color we wanted. He finally found a dealership in Fruitland that had one coming in fr9om somewhere in the East and they called to tell us it had arrived as we were driving home from dropping the girls off at school. We were selling our current Traverse to Carmax for a really good price and as soon as we got back from Rexburg we took that in, sold it, and then headed to Fruitland to get our new Traverse. It was really exciting picking up our new car. I told Kefford he should drive it home but he insisted that I do it and after being shown how to work the gear shift I drove off. I really love our new car, the blue color is beautiful and it is really fun to drive. After having it home for about a week Kefford had me take it in to get the windows tinted and I sent him a picture when they were done so he could see how it looks.
Our Ward did an Adult Progressive dinner and we had appetizers at the Hams house and the Edwards house and Dinner at the Wards. The Wards had an Italian theme going on at their house complete with an Italian dinner and they had it decorated on theme as well. They took our pictures in front of their poster of the colosseum which was fun. The Edwards had an Axe throw that they had everyone try their Han d at and I did the best job of everyone there which made me super happy and proud. Dessert was a the church with everyone, it was a good activity and a fun night.
Kenedys employers let her use their timeshare in Aspen for the weekend and she invited her sisters, Ryker and Anna and Yardley to come along and be with them. They all had such a great time and really enjoyed the time together. I was a little jealous that I couldn't be there but I am so glad my kids got to have time together.
Yardley, Rylee, Avynlea, Anna and Kenedy

Avynlea and Rylee took a picture at one of their devotionals and sent it to me. I just love them and am forever grateful they get to spend this time together.
