All of you (in blog land) provide inspiration at one time or another, but tonight my inspiration was :
Julia!
I have been telling myself every night, "I need to blog", then obviously I don't and I think I will tomorrow for sure. Obviously I didn't. Until now.
Once again, it is late, the pictures are all out of order but I will feel better because I am getting caught up and then feel like I can "try to be better!" :)
So this first picture is what I did on Saturday. I taught a lesson on Sunday on prayer and I was trying to come up with a creative idea for a handout (we take turns doing them and my turn is the 2nd Sunday of the month). I know the girls have probably seen or done the prayer rock a 1000 times but then I saw this cute idea for a pillowcase. So...
off to
Walmart I went. About 50 bucks and ten hours later I was done! It is kinda hard to tell but they turned out pretty cute. Believe me, I do not do this every month. Once and a while it is fun to go the extra mile...
We have had lots of graduation celebrations around here. Graduation weekend was the first weekend in June. Katie went to Brewster graduation on Friday night (her boyfriend Brian graduated, he is pictured here in the red - obviously he is not the girl in the purple
haha)
of course we went to
Bronte's graduation Saturday afternoon in Manson. You already know all about that from Shannon's post! It was fun.
Like I said, the pictures are out of order, so Memorial Day weekend Kyle came home for a quick weekend visit. He flew into
Wenatchee on Thursday night at 11:30 pm and we put him back on a plane Sunday morning at 11:00. Bob had forgot about the holiday weekend when he made the reservations a month or so before. It was fun to see him again, it has been almost 5 months. We ate, saw a movie, shopped. What else is there to do??
Katie and I went to
Bronte's senior presentation. It was at the Campbell's Hotel which was very nice.
Pateros does it in the library at the school so having it at Campbell's made it feel more "fancy". (sorry not quite the right word, but hey it's late...)
Just a few other items of interest:
1. Have had a great time with Mom and Dad here. They will leave tomorrow but before they do we get to have breakfast with David, Tiffany and Sean. yay!
2. Got to shop with mom (kinda funny because she told dad after shopping with me that she had been "bad" again and I was thinking I had been pretty "good" because I only bought one top, a super cheap skirt - like under 10 dollars cheap at Macy's, and some jean shorts that I really, really, NEEDED!)
3. Had a nice early father's day BBQ with dad, mom, Paul and Joe and of course us this last Sunday. Ate way too much. (can I ever stop eating...)
4. Katie was MVP for her softball team and also was voted by the other coaches in the league to "first team all league".
5. She will get straight A's again this semester.
6. School is out, let the craziness begin...
P.S. Can I mention ten weeks and counting... and I am now.
I know I have the best dad ever! He is so many things and really just a thank you, a phone call, a small gift, an I love you isn't enough to even begin to show my love and appreciation. But sometimes there aren't always words to express how truly blessed we are. I hope all the dad's, step-dad's, uncle's, and anyone who has been a father figure to anyone, at anytime, I hope you know, someway, somehow, how very important you are in all of our lives!
