Maybe I could do this crazy quilt, at least you might not be able to see my mistakes.

Ceri, this one's for you!

This one is for all the firefighters in our family.

I know, this is the last one.

No, we didn't go to the quilt show for Father's Day, although I'm sure Chase would have been thrilled to do that : ). My mom and I went to Payson at the old Peteetneet school for their annual quilt show. It was small, but had a ton of awesome quilts. I live in an alternate reality where I somehow think I will make quilts of the kind of caliber we saw there. So, I always take my camera along and take pictures, so I can duplicate the ones I like, at least in my other world I live in. I have so many projects that I've started and never finished and many more I want to start. I don't even have the skills to create anything like we saw, but I still have hopes of one day being able to do so.

Well, imagine my extreme dissappointment when I asked the lady there in charge if I could take pictures. She said that I couldn't, but they were trying to actually veto that rule. So, I attempted to sketch one that I really liked, but failed to render any likeness at all. Fortunately, towards the end of our visit, the lady came back up to me and said that they decided I could take pictures after all-yeah! Side note, the lady's name was Bliss. I really thought that was a cool and unusual name. It was a fun time with my mom and we signed up to come back the following Sat. to take an applique class. I'm sure I spelled that completely wrong. Since this is a late post, I already attended the class with my mom. We got to make buttons! Buttons! I had no idea you could make buttons, it was awesome. I helped my mom cut out all her watermelon applique pieces for the dish towel we were making. I also made all the watermelon seed buttons and star buttons for her other towel. It was pretty cool, I felt so incredibly crafty! Thanks for a great time Mom.

Well, on to Father's Day. Since my dad was flying out to Georgia for a work conference and we were going to be driving to Mesquite on Sunday, we decided to throw a special early Father's Day dinner on Friday. I made guacamole bacon burgers, fruit salad, spinach dip, and grilled pineapple. It was spectacular! I feel a little bummed about it though, because as usual I took on a little too much and was running behind on schedule so Chase ended up pitching in and grilled all the burgers for me. I hope he wasn't too dissappointed he had to grill his own Father's Day burgers.

I took some pics of the food, but the pictures I took don't do the food justice. It's like those billboard pictures of food that you see on the drive from UT to CA. They are in the middle of the desert advertising food for casinos and other restaurants. Well, they've been there forever and all of the color is bleached out of the food making the food look completely unappetizing.

Well, we had a good time. My dad and mom were there and Glen and his two boys Jaron and Noah came over as well. Since I rarely am allowed to take pictures of my family, I had to do it while they were eating when they had nowhere to go. So, sorry to those who maybe these pictures are not very flattering. Next time, let me take your picture.

Happy Father's Day to all you great dads out there!
