What's been going on?

So I have been a big slacker lately but here's a photo recap of our lives for the past 14 days:

I sewed placemats and dishtowels as my first sewing project:



With the dishtowels:


And what I saw most of the time I was sewing:



Matthew does not like this new electronic kitty (what we call anything he gets jealous of like laptops, phones, etc.) This one creates lots of strings to torture him.

Brent is finishing up school and spring softball season. The guys aren't terribly good but it's still fun. This week we are trying to organize a little tailgating before. The fields last week:



I have been busy at work with several events coming soon. No pics on that one!

Sunday we went on a hike in Chautauqua and forgot the camera AND my phone died so we will have to hike the Royal Arch trail again!

Lastly, this morning at 5:57am the fire alarm went off in our complex. I was asleep with Mattie but Brent was awake already studying. Mattie jumped under the bed- a reasonable response since it was sooo loud. Brent had to pull him out and I held him out on the porch. He was so frightened he just burried his head in my sweatshirt. Poor guy. It was a false alarm (hence not getting off the porch). Mattie got lots of good boys and nip and treats for cooperating. Here he is a few days ago playing with his favorite string:
