Happy Birthday Jace!

This is the "what was I thinking gift" that I made for Jace's birthday. There is a story behind why I made this quilt and why I knew it was the perfect gift for Jace.

I made a quilt for Josh in high school while we were dating. When Jace was little, that is the blanket that he loved to snuggle with and have on his bed all the time. He actually used it so much that it wore it to shreds. I finally told him that it was time to throw the blanket away. He made me promise that I would make a quilt just for him.....2 or 3 years later...here it is!

On top of just making him this, I got the grand idea of piecing it together (for the 1st time in my life) AND I only had a week and a half to get in done, which I couldn't work on when he was home. CRAZY! Needless to say, I spend some very, very late nights sewing!!

Oh but he loved it and carries it everywhere with him at night! I guess it makes it all worth it in the end!!

Can't believe I've been a mom for 10 years now, it went by soooo fast. But I think the next 10 years might be a little harder for me with all the teenage stuff ahead. In another 10 years this kid will be 20...that is so crazy to think about!!

We had a little family get together on Jace's birthday. In this picture sitting on the couch is Uncle Kunane, Gage in the Green and Clay behind him, Jace and Grandpa Lynn, and my mom's head that is in the way!! LOL
