Christmas

Emily's wish this year was to receive a tufting gun, a tool meant to automate the tufting process specifically in rug making.  Her kit came with the machine, the frame, and the backing cloth.  She also received a lot of yarn and a gift card to help purchase the supplies needed.  

Practicing first. 

Her first rug is the blue and white striped part. 
Extra practice around the outside to get a hang of it! 

Gift cards, money and a lot of smaller items and gift cards rounded out the presents she received. She was so excited to tuft Christmas afternoon.  Her goal is to be able to sell the rugs with a little more practice!

 Emily continues to ride, luckily there is an indoor arena! This was her first time riding Harry.  

 On November 22nd we were back in Twin Falls, so we picked up Kaitlyn and the girls went rock climbing. 

Roadtrip to Arizona

November 7-15th Aaron and Emily were on an adventure with their main goal of competing in the Area 2 match in Mesa, Arizona.  They extended the trip by making stops at the Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, and the Las Vegas strip so that Emily could finally eat at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant.

Haunted Swamp

 Emily and Kaitlyn went trick or treating in Twin.  Then after a quick dinner we all went to the Haunted Swamp.
