summer synopsis, part 1

IMG_0875 One of my all-time favorite things ever EVER was the precious family of birds that nested in the plum tree in our backyard!!  We had no idea how fantastically fascinating it would be to watch the 4 baby birds grow and learn and sadly (for us), fly away.  It was National Geographic in our very own yard-awesome

IMG_0884 This pic is completely dedicated to my Gramma Bev, who always dreamed of having the whole Link clan attend the Manti Pageant.  While the whole clan did not make it,  3 youth-conference attending Goff’s did and it was amazing

IMG_0938 The fabulous KThoms came to town, so what could be better than a tour of the Conference Center?  We know how to do it up right in the SLC…

IMG_0954 Good news—resourceful Paul saved the day and got the circle pool back into commission!!  New filter and more patches made for hours of crazy, splashy cousin fun with even more super cousins…

Here’s a question: do fedora hats put you in a bad mood?  Little Goff family fun fact—apparently fedoras completely rub my bro-in-law Mike the wrong way (hmm), but Morgan and Aunt Tera were determined to get him to turn that frown upside-down…

IMG_1042 Ever since Quilt Market in May, I have been wait, wait, waiting for the lovely new Joel Dewberry fabric line, Heirloom, to come to the shop and… it did!!  The orange blockflower blossom here is my absolute fave, and using it to make an Amy Butler Gumdrop pillow put a smile on Miss Kylie’s face and on Kylie’s mom’s face…

And HOO-RAY—after completing his project over a year ago, Curtis the Eagle Scout had his Court of Honor on Sunday.  And in the words of Elastigirl, “now, it’s official!”
