Pictures for my honey

Ruby found a new favorite toy, pink stuffed bear.  

Ruby thinks she is a cat when riding in the car.

Hey honey this last pic of me is just to say hi and I love you!

Camyll's First Quilts

Yay!  My first quilts I've ever made!  Not bad if I may say so myself.  Thanks to my mother-in-law, Monti, who had an aweful lot of patience.  I am working on a three more right now.  Uh-oh, I feel an obsession coming on!!

Governor's Day

This summer I got involved with the Family Readiness Group in Jason's unit.  My partner and I are working hard to provide support and assistance to the families, provide a network of communication among the members and the chain of command.  We also have the opportunity to welcome new members, be a social support by holding group activities, provide self-help referral,  and so much more!  I am loving being involved.  In the small amount of time that I have been involved I had two fundraisers already.  This last one was great!  We had a scone booth at Governor's Day on Saturday September 13th.  This year it was held at Rice-Eccles Stadium.  All of the soldiers in state parade on the field in front of the Governor while he address' his troops.  It a lot of fun for the families to watch.  Its an amazing opportunity for a patriotic moment to see all of our troops lined up.  This year we had a very small amount here in the states.  So many of them are over sea.  

The scone booth was a fun experience.  With the amazing help of my mother-in-law and father-in-law,  Jason, and two of my unit spouses we did awesome.  We learned the do and do not's of fundraising and also raised a little money in the meantime.  Our made from scratch scones were a hit with the home-made raspberry butter.  I am loving being involved with the FRG and hopefully that energy I have for it continues even after the baby!

Learning the ropes at work

Jason had a fun last two weeks at work, although he would most likely describe it a little different.  He and a few of the other men on his team were able to complete their qualifications with the state for rope rescuing.  They spent two weeks in the course with a handful of firemen.  If any of you know Jason there are two things he will hesitate towards.  And that is snakes and heights!  Lucky him, he got 1 on 1 training with great instructors who helped him rope rescue and also pose as a victim from varying heights.  The best day was at the East Center where they repelled from the rafters into the seats.  Thank goodness they didn't repel all  the way to the floor!  He made it through and is so happy to have that training behind him.  He did learn a ton and is comfortable with rope rescue now so that is a plus, but I can't say he is comfortable with the heights still.
