Bad blogger

I've been terrible at blogging lately. So much has been going on and I just can't seem to keep up half the time. It is officially summer as of yesterday. :) The temps haven't been that great but this week they are turning summerish. I am not a fan of summer unfortunately. I would rather have spring/fall temps all summer long. Some good hot days for the beach or water park would be good but that's it. LOL

Brooke's last day of school is tomorrow, it's only half day and then she is done til the beginning of Sept. We got Skye's letter officially stating that she is enrolled into the pre-k program at the elementary and we are all extremely thrilled about that. Skye is so excited. She keeps asking when she is going. I am planning on getting her own little calender to mark off the days as we go through the summer so she can get more of a visual of "when" it starts. She got to meet the pre-k teacher briefly last week and she was over the moon about it. LOL Brooke had "Moving Up" day today at school. She got a couple of awards and I am sooo proud of her. She got an achievment award, the "Iron Girl" award for her grade and also the overall "Iron Girl"award for her elementary. She is only in second grade and beat all the other girls in her school, pretty impressive. :) Can't wait to take some pictures of her with her awards. The iron girl awards are plaques. :) Brooke's last baseball game is tonight. Then AYSO soccer should be starting up in another week or two (I think the beginning of July). I wish Skye could participate. I know she really wants to. One more year and she'll be able to do soccer, and that will be fun.

Father's day was yesterday and that was nice. Tim was really surprised with his gifts. I bought the girls "Father's Day" t's from Old Navy to put on that morning and they were so adorable. Brooke made a ton of cute things at school. Then the girls and I got him a gift certificate for 2 1hr massages. He has been wanting to get a massage for so long. He deserves it too. :) I can't wait til he goes, he is going to call and make an apt for hopefully this week.

There's something about you that makes the world a better place. You make life more colorful, more flavorful, and more vibrant. You get along well with others. You always have something to add. Without realizing it, people can become very addicted to you.

What Taste Are You?

Favorite Animal (FOBTY-SSD 5/4)

I absolutely LOVE going to the zoo! I honestly don't know who enjoys it more me or my girls. It has always been something I love doing. We don't have a "great" one close by but we usually go a few times a year. My favorite animal at the zoo are the Tigers, which we don't have at the zoo closest to our house and I hate that. But there is another zoo that isn't too far that has them and they are my favorite. Tigers are so beautiful and amazing. I just love to look at them. The monkeys are a close 2nd which is also at the same zoo with the tigers. I really need to get to that zoo soon....:) I have been telling the girls for a while that we were going to go. But then the weather got yucky and cold and just not good. Over the last few days it has been more "June" like so there is hope to get there soon. LOL

What's new w/ me in scrapping

So the end of May I was asked if I would like to guest for Tracie Stroud...and I was sooo excited for that. Tracie is such a talented designer and she also made it into round 5 in the SYTYCS competition. :) YAY TRACIE!!! The first LO I did was using "Peppermint Smoothie"

I can't wait to play some more with Tracie's goodies. :) Her store is FULL of them.

It's been a while since I have share some of my recent LO's...I've been keeping myself pretty busy. This past month was the first month since November playing along with the Challenges at SSD. I was on a mission and I was able to get enough pts for a 40% off coupon!!! I'm so freakin thrilled. LOL My original plan was that I would be content to have 20% off, the challenges have really helped my mojo and helped me get myself in gear. :)

I know that is alot of LO's....but it's been forever since I shared any. ;) You can see my full gallery at SSD with all the credits as well. Thank you for looking.

First day of June

It's officially the first day of June and would you believe that we had a frost warning last night? About 45 minutes north of us actually woke up with a dusting of snow on the ground?? WTH is up with that? Only in northern NY. LOL This is a little much though. We are still having to run our furnace because it is too cold at night not to have heat. Usually by now we don't have to be doing this. It stinks.

Brooke only has just over 3 weeks of school left before she is out for the summer. Last week we dropped off Skye's paper work for pre-k. We will hopefully find out this week if her name got drawn for the class. *fingers crossed* There were more than 18 kids signed up so all the names get put into a random drawing for the spots in the class. :( I'm really nervous, and anxious. I'm praying that Skye gets a spot. I want for her to be able to start school next year so badly and I know she wants to, too. She will be devastated if she isn't able to go. *sigh* So we'll see.

This past weekend Tim and I went on a 4wheeler ride Saturday afternoon and we were gone for like 3 hours. It was GREAT! It has been forever since we did that. I LOVED it! We went from Tim's parents house all the way to Belfort. Once we got up to his families land up there, we went down to the river, made a camp fire, roasted hot dogs, hung out for a bit and then headed home. I love roasting hotdogs over and open fire like that. I don't eat hot dogs that often but that is the way I prefer to do it. :) We got back and Tim's parents kept the girls over night. Sunday morning Tim and I slept in til 20 after 9! I felt like crap the rest of the day though...I think I got too much sleep. :/

This is going to be a busy week. Tonight I have a support group meeting and I have missed the last 2 so I do NOT want to miss this one. Tim and the girls are supposed to be going to Nick's baseball game (if it doesn't rain), and then Brooke has baseball games Tuesday and Thursday. Then Friday is Brooke's field trip to Alex Bay on a boat tour, I get to go along on that one. Saturday is the Relay for Life, and then Tim is working up to the Muddfest on Saturday and Sunday.
