Where has the summer gone!

Mary Beth: So it seems I have been MIA big time this summer going going going with the kids and all! I have alot to catch you up on! First off, we (the family...WHOLE family... 4 generations) spent our 25th family vacation in North Carolina for a week. It was the best vacation I can say I have ever had in the 25 years. Almost everyone was there....missing only my brother and his family. Here are my two favorite pics....






















This past month I had a backyard cookout for my moms group, Mommy Connection and had 70 people in my backyard....Not being one who is called "an entertainer" it was quite the undertaking for me. Granted I didn't have to do much in the way of cooking as it was potluck but I had to clean my arse off! Here is a great(RECENT) pic of me and Heath.....I am in the green... :)




Now, I got a wild hair and decided to re-decorate my kitchen because IMO, it looked really ickky...Here are the Before and Afters...I did this in a weekend pretty much all by myself....I couldn't believe how it changed the whole look of the room!

AFTER





I started a new Message Board on the new YUKU boards...called.....
Confessions of a Knitter! Try to check it out sometime!




Lastly, but by certainly not least, we said good-bye to our dear Rocky who came into this world on Valentines Day 1999. Rocky was the best dog I ever had...wonderful with the kids and loved unconditionally. When we arrived home from vacation, we learned he had an awful, agressive bone tumor and we had to let him go play at the Rainbow Bridge. We know that someday we will play again.
