Traveling to Nebraska & some of Nebraska 12/16/08 -12/20/08

Because we were late in leaving Bozeman. We were able to stop in Gillette, Wyoming

And we got to stay with Kelly and Laura.
So that was super special!


THURSDAY:

Carmel showing off all that she has done to my wedding dress.

So, when we saw Julias awesome scarf. I knew I wanted to learn to knit so I could make one.
BUT, when Steven heard me ask Daka about making it. He said 'I was going to learn to knit to make that for you'..... So mom was shocked and suddenly had TWO students! :)

Mom helping us figure out this whole casting on thing.

That night we were not as interested in the card game as we were in knitting.
Steven working on his dishcloth and Candy on figuring out how to knit.

Darren & Carmel were interested in listening to the Husker Volleyball game.



FRIDAY:

Steven (and Katrina) were working on the dishcloth that Daka said Steven should make just to get knitting figured out.

That evening we made it to the boys basketball game.
I LOVE the 'clown' pants!

Introducing the players

The dance team at halftime.
They are GREAT!


SATURDAY:


Steven using his knitting skills and camera skills! :)
A picture through a 'dropped stitch' in the dishcloth. :D


So proud of our work! :D


I just thought this was a cool picture of double points!
The first link done and the second started.

Last day of finals for Steven 12/16/08

After Stevens last final we were going to run out to Dean and Kim and drop off some soup. Well, ten minutes turned into 4 hours. So needless to say we didn't make it out of Bozeman very early.

Candy feeding Brooklyn her bottle

Adorable Brooklyn in her cute little hat!

It was worth leaving Bozeman late for!
