Our Weekend

On Friday night Caleb and I went out to dinner and to the mall. A pretty normal night for us.

Saturday I went and ran some errands while Caleb went and rented a bobcat looking thing to start working on our pond. We went to dinner with a few of my co-workers up in Ogden. We had a good time. I won the game that we played which made it even better. We ended up leaving around 11:00 which means we didn't get home until after 12:00. It was a long and busy day for the both of us. Busy days are good except they go by way too fast.

This morning Caleb got up and started working on his truck then our backyard. We are putting in a water fall and pond. (When I say we I mean Caleb.) Caleb worked on that all day. He really made some progress with it. Here are a couple of pictures that I tried to take.

The Quilt....

In Cort's last email home he asked my mom to make him a craft. It is a weird request but we have to do something for him. My mom came up with the idea to make Cort a quilt. When she mentioned this to me I was thinking to myself...Are you kidding me? I do not quilt or sew...this should be good. So last Wednesday night I went over to my parents house to make a quilt. My mom had bought two fleece pieces of material and we had to just the edges and tie them in knots. It did not sound hard since there was no needle needed. We laid it out on the living room floor, get one side cut and tied. We move around the blanket to the next side and I realize the top piece of material upside down. Every piece of material has a wrong and right side. Well leave it to use to just get going and not pay attention. We recruited Bud to help untie everything we had just done so that we could flip it over and fix our mistake. Once we fixed it we were not going to stop until it was done. Sitting on the floor for long periods of time is not a good thing for the Gardner family. I started it off with a charlie horse in the arch of my foot, Bud lasted all 15 min before the arthritis in his knees kicked in and my mom ended the quilt with a charlie horse in her thigh. So as they saying goes...no pain no gain. I stayed over to my parents until we got it done. We had a good time doing this with my grandparents sitting on the couch watching us. It actually turned out pretty good. Here are a couple of pictures.
