Name the quilt pieces!


A is for alligator. B is for building. C is for car. D is for dog. E is for elephant. F is for frog. G is for glue. H is for helicopter. I is for ice cream. J is for jacks. K is for kite. L is for lollipop. M is for mountain. N is for needle. O is for octopus. P is for...? Q is for quilt. R is for rocket. S is for sandwich. T is for tv. U is for umbrella. V is for violin. W is for whale. X is for x-ray. Y is for yo-yo. Z is for ...?
See if you can figure out the two that are missing, this one took me a long time and a little bit of help from BK.

Are you T W I N S ? ? ?

AND THE ANSWER ONCE AGAIN IS NOOOO!!! Thought we needed to clear this one up one more time here...Karis asked me at dinner one night during our visit, "are you and Lacey twins?" I said, "no, why do you think that?" Karis replied, "well, you just look a lot the same." We beg to differ! :) And Karis is not the first person to ask this, it has become more commonly asked lately...

Lou's photo shoot trial run...


ahh oh so composed! I think we got a lot more funny photos than serious and nice ones but thats Lacey for ya! ;)

ZOO & AQUARIUM at Point Defiance
