Some More Summer...

I have obviously been busy this summer. Like, REALLY busy. Things have been soooo crazy and I have hardly slept in my own bed all summer! Lately, I have been busy with volleyball, because I MADE THE SOPHOMORE TEAM and practice is every single stinking day. I'm really happy, but really exhausted and already ready for a break. But I think it will get better once school starts and there is a solid schedule, and we play games and have something to look forward to.

Then, I stayed with my new baby cousin Champ and Aunt Melissa for 3 days to help them out. It was super fun, and he is such a good little baby! I just got to sit there and hold him all the day long while Melissa slept. I was in heaven.









On Monday, we went to Lagoon with the Carlsons! That was way fun, too, except I was really bummed that I had to leave at 5:00 to go to volleyball practice :(

Caleb, Morgen, Nate, McKay, and me. I swear we could all be siblings.

On my mom and dad's anniversary, I was gone the whole day, so when I got home and they went to a movie, I made a cake from scratch for them. It was delicious, if I do say so myself.


We got to have a sleepover at Oma and Opa's with all the cousins.

We went swimming at an awesome pool

We endured a giant 5 minute hailstorm at Aunt Melissa's house



We had a gorgeous sunset one night

And we finally got the waverunners fixed and took them to Utah Lake! They are a blast! And I already got me, Morgen, and my dad to fly off of them when I drive. They don't trust me anymore...

Last but not least, I have been working on a scrappy quilt with all of the value colors. This is only 1/2, and the squares aren't sewn together yet, but I can't wait! I'm so excited to finish it! I spent 5 hours with Oma Kim one Saturday, and we went through all of the scraps in her closet (which is A TON) and cut everything and put them into organized bags. The only fabric I bought was the teals and the browns. And we got an awesome deal on Minky for the back. Thats the SUPER soft stuff. I am so excited!!!!!

Looks like you've had a fun summer Nicole. I didn't know you guys had waverunners. How fun and so nice that you're so close to Utah Lake to be able to take them out. Your quilt is beautiful. It sounds like you're moving right along with your YW's projects.
