Missing

This picture cracks me up (lazy dog walkers).

So are you wondering where I have been?   I am still around but when the kids are home from school, blogging has taken a back seat.  I miss it.

I am putting together a couple of really cool cookie bouquets this week, cleaning my house like a mad woman, packing up the car and going beach camping for a week.   

So blog world... bear with me.  I will be back!

Time To Go To Work!

I am signing off for the week as I finish organizing my workroom/office.  That's right, you heard me!  The walls are painted, the new floor is in.  The baseboards are back on and painted.  The shelves are in place and I am ready to go!  Now I just have to find a place for everything until everything is in it's place.   It sounds easy enough, but I find myself staring blankly at the wall, not sure what to do.  Wish me luck!  

I will  be back on Monday with pictures!!!!!!!

Book of a Thousand Days

I just finished another book by Shannon Hale (Austenland).   I love the main character in this story.  If you are looking for a good, easy read this summer, I recommend this one.

Through the eyes of a child

It always cracks me up when I find mysterious pictures on my camera that I know I didn't take.

Here are a few pictures taken by my six year old, with my camera, when I wasn't looking.

A Sweet Thank You

A thank you bouquet I finished for a friend last week.

Memorial Day Memories

(Don't miss the video below)

Treasure hunting (geocaching) was on our list of Memorial Day to-do's.  We found some great treasures out in Bull Dog Canyon!

I am surprised by the lengths we go to, just to find a little treasure box filled with trinkets.

But good times are had by all!

Isn't he a cutie pie? (Jeff Junior)

But the best part was watching the boys (they will never grow up) play with their spud gun and about singe the hairs off their legs.  Keep your eyes open or you might miss the flames.  I hope you enjoy this!

A Bowl To Remember

Imagine this:

Two couples out on a date night.  Dinner is over and everyone is feeling very full.  The movies playing in the theater hold no interest for the two couples, but no one is ready to go home just yet.  Hmmmm.... what to do.  Why not bowling?

Problem.  Arizona = flip flops.  No one is wearing socks, and as you know, you have to have socks to go bowling.

Solution.  Send wives into Target to purchase socks, then off to the bowling alley. {"Smart alec" wives couldn't resist buying Argyle trouser socks for the husbands}.  

Regret.  There was only a camera phone to capture the moment, and the action shots didn't come out.
