More Paintings

Here are 3 more of my paintings. The top one is one I did for Adrianna and hangs above her fireplace. It looks great with the colors in her room! The next is a desert scene with a light dusting of snow clinging to the cliffs. I let Matt pick this one out for me to reproduce and it was HARD!. From then on, I pick what I want to paint. The bottom one I did for mom and dad and gave it to them for Christmas '07. It hangs above their mantle, too. I'm working on a landscape now that will be my last one for awhile; I'm going to try some portraiture. Depending on how they turn out, you may or may not see them in this space!!

The Twins' Blessing Day

Clay and Elise had their twins, Jaden Belle and Bryn Elise, blessed in Clay's parents' ward on Nov. 2nd. Four generations stood in the circle, with G.G. Heger, age 88 1/2 being the oldest. Both G'pas and of course Clay, plus other family members were also in the circle. After the meeting, everyone came to our house for hot soup, rolls and desserts. It was a good day and a day of family togetherness. In the pics, Matt is holding Jaden and Luke is holding Bryn. I can't tell them apart yet, but Elise always dresses Bryn in pink and Jaden in a darker shade of pink or another color. Elise started a method of telling the girls apart in the hospital with pink and teal nail polish: pink for Bryn and teal green for Jaden. Elise still paints their nails, which is a big help to me! For the blessing gowns, I was able to find tiny heart buttons in a soft pink and a teal green shade. You can just see the buttons down the fronts of their dresses.
