Last weekend...I went to a graduation party for a son of my friend from high school...actually friends since we were like 7....Penny... was kinda cool to see her mom and aunt too...brought back lots of memories
also made a run out to scrappy chic....and had to have the new tim holtz mini stapler..alot of the ladies had it in texas....and it is even better in person....can't wait til' I actually scrap again....so I can play with it.

and these chipboard numbers from sassafrass...just screamed at me from the shelf...had to have them!!

well we have finals this week at school...so it's a crazy week....but hope to do well and looking forward to a week off next week.....and I am going down to Ohio to visit Ed's family...they're having a bbq...and I am looking forward to that, plus on monday..night I am going to the jason aldean concert!!

first pedicure

went out with jeniece for my first pedicure!! Oh...a girl could get used to this!! and of course she caught the magic on film....hee,hee... I mean a girl has to prep for her date night!! right?!! LOL


okay back to scrapbooking....wanted to post the last couple of pages I did in Texas.....so hope that I get the scrap bug soon.....

I am going to a grad party tomorrow...and a bonfire...hoping for a beautiful weekend!!!

couple more layouts left over from the Texas Tally Rally...........I haven't touched a scrapbook supply since getting home...........don't know what's up with that..maybe I left the mojo in Texas....?? We get a week off of school in august....hoping to do some scrappin' then....even though that week...is the Jason Aldean concert!!! and I am heading to ohio...for a Compher get together....which I am looking forward to...haven't seen most of them since the funeral....and I think it will be good for the girls to reconnect with their compher side!!Okay off to the gym...kicking and screaming!! bye....

teenager!! My baby is a teenager.....it's weird to think I'll have 2 teenagers for a couple more months!! but the party went really well...and sommer quickly got over the fact that she had to share her party!! and she had this smile on her face most of the day... was glad that mikey and the kids made it out.....
we had a mean silly string fight!!! ready...set ....go!!

and I got covered!!

dad and mikey....swingin' waitin' on the food!!

and the 2 edy's...being cute as ever!

we had our ode' to twilight...and everywhere was covered in glitter.........me, mom and sommer getting covered in it...it was beautiful....still picking the glitter out of my hair..but it was fun!

it took forever to fill up all these balloons.....Mikey couldn't wait to play!!

me and my lil' vampires!! It was so funny....Tonee' kept trying to take the pic...but I would start cracking up when I see us on the screen....so finally I had to not look........such weirdo's!!

and the birthday guys!!! 13 & 3..............

What the!! How did my baby turn 13...and how can she be taller than me....I think your baby always stays your baby no matter how old she gets!!!

sommer opening her presents!

yeah....I got my grill so hot....I exploded my weiners...but everybody said they were good!!

and the birthday boy...having his cupcake!!!

here we are taking a clay button class...from christi...
me, wanda...and rachel....rolling out our buttons...it was alot of fun..there were different shapes, and afterwards we antiqued them...and added polka dots!!

and besides the cute texas plate...I know it looks like I may have already eaten' this...don't let it fool ya...it was delicous!!!!!!!!!!!!! we had bbq,sausuage,potato salad, baked beans....

and the corn was beautiful...with the blue texas sky in the background....loved it!!

barefoot in a cornfield in Texas.....never imagined!

Well getting ready for another birthday cookout at our place this weekend...dang..lately I feel like we have one every weekend....but not last weekend...'cause I was partying in texas....I am missing it too...having a little withdrawls....I seriously had the best time....my first martini...my first hang over...in a very long time......and it felt good!! Oops..sorry back to this weekend...Lil' mikeys birthday was yesterday "3"...and Sommers is Monday..so we are having a combined birthday party...and no sommer is not thrilled to be sharing the spotlight....but on her actual birthday...we are going to some "paint your masterpiece" store in lambertville...hope they're still open...I guess I need to call there...and then out for pizza....afterwards...and she's bringing her best friend...so it should be fun!!

I am back!! and just wanted to say.....it was AWESOME!!! First I took my anatomy quiz and test on thursday before I took off...and found out I got 100% on the quiz and a 82% on the test!! whoo..hoo!!! So after school my family came over.....I literally had a car full drop me off....mom, dad...and the girls....it was sweet!!! oh my gosh I was scared here...but tried to act like I fly all the time!!!
and of course me and the girls had to get a quick pic.....before I headed in!

yep...even let mom drive my pumpkin!!

Oh...lord texas here I come!!!

okay...it's no secret...I love taking pics of feet...so had to get some pics of feet in the air....wait that could sound wrong..if you have a dirty mind...!!

but seriously the flight went perfect it was a little late taking off.....and I did get the pat down in chicago..when I switched planes!!! but besides that....the seats were comfy, the seat belt fit...easy...and I even ventured into the bathroom!! no problem

and when I got to texas.....I was picked up by the famous...Tally Ho...lattee....and pinky...bet you can't guess which one is pinky? ha,ha!!

I actually did like 11 pages while I was there...and I have a ton more pics...so I will be posting new stuff all week...to get caught up...life is busy...right now...had to jump right back into school..feel like I've been going non stop since I got off the plane!!
