one more thing...

Our YW activity this last week was a sleep-over at my house!!
Bob decided on Monday evening that he would finally install tile in the upstairs bathroom. If you haven't ever put tile in I will spare you the details but if you have, you might understand that when you start Monday night and rip up the floor board, have to run to Home Depot twice the next evening because first, you discover your one tile short and then after you get home and start cutting the tile the saw blade breaks, it sets you back significantly.
Needless to say about 30 minutes before the girls were to arrive we were hooking the toilet back up and I was cleaning up dirty sinks etc...
Phew. But, it looks sooooo much better than carpet scraps which is what has been on the floor since last summer when we replaced the carpet upstairs.
Thanks hon! ;)

what we've been up too...

Maddy needed a haircut in the worst way. Every time I called to see if I could make her an appointment at Petco they were full for days....of course I never thought about it days ahead, just usually the morning I was heading to Wentachee.
So, we thought what the heck! How hard can it be? It will always grow back!
My advice to anyone who might want to try this: DON"T. Your dog might be easier and better behaved but Maddy is scared of the smallest of noises so when those clippers came on, she was out of her mind. We got through it, but it wasn't easy.
There might or might not of been a little raising of voices during the process....
 It might be hard to tell but we cut off a lot. NO, it doesn't look like a professional did it, but as I said before:
it will always grow back.  :)
Bob was kinda happy cuz he said it saved him 40 dollars. I will pay double that next time as long as I don't have to do it!

Owls

We have had some decorative plates hanging on a yellow wall at our house. Bob pretty much hated them from the start but finally decided we should take them down and find something else to hang there.
Sooooo,
we did.
Owls!
I love them. They are colorful, fun and add a lot of interest to that wall.
Bob's a lot happier now with the owls instead of the plates!

Celebrations.....

We actually watched the fireworks a few days early in Chelan and Bob for some cool pictures...
and next....
my birthday!
Pretty sure everyone knows what I did....
yup shopped!
I spent last Friday (July 15th) in Spokane with Bob shopping until the stores closed.
These are a few of my favorite purchases...
love the color on this shirt
I could of spent every last penny at Nordstrom's just buying shoes, but I settled for this pair.
love, love, love this yellow skirt. If you looked at the Nordstrom's sale catalog you might of seen it, it does not disappoint in person. go get it.
and in case you didn't know, feathers are in!!!!
Not ready (and probably never will be) to wear them in my hair but I can wear some ear-rings with feathers! Super cute, and only 8 to 10 dollars!
My computer is having some issues right now, thus the first line of this blog is underlined, don't' know why at the moment! Plus last night for some reason javascript unloaded itself from my computer so I couldn't publish my post, Bob figured it out but by that time it was 10:45 and time to get ready for bed!
But, at least I am back in blog world again :)

it's about TIME!

I have been a lame blogger. No excuses, just didn't do it.
I am going to change that and play catch up!
Yes, Katie did graduate! Ohhh about a month and a half ago now :)
I think I have forgotten how to do this.....more to come......
