Girls Weekend in Pasadena, California

Having some CA. Special yummies

Lea and Mary!!
JILL!!!!

At the scrap convention.

Poor Mary, should she have the vodka cranberry, or the almond champagne! (She had both)

Caroline goes to the Dance Recital!

Lord help us! this one is going to be trouble!

Great America

The first time we went (courtesy of my Mom for Advocate days) we got rained out. Last wed. we tried again, and it was great weather!

My First Ever Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge Card!!!

Unfortunately, I pulled up their blog from my favorites, and didn't refresh it, so after making the card, I discovered that it was challenge 81 from early April!! @@ to me! Oh well, I got to use Basic Grey's Lime Rickey paper for the first time. The sentiment comes from ctmh stamp set "Legendary Moments". The stamp is from Stamping Bella ( a RAK from a friend). And the top and bottom have Bella's Baubles.

Preschool Graduation

She is a preschool Graduate now! A few short months and Caroline will be off to kindegarten!

Flowers from the yard

We thought the yard needed some red, so we added a red maple tree!

Left, King Coleus, inpatiens, and fiber optic grass! I love that stuff!

I love to plant flowers on the shed! When picking colors this year, I was inspired by all the rainbow colors that are back in now, especially in scrapbooking. I was copying "Lime Rickey" scrap paper from basic grey.

Yard Work

this is the former dog run with a new gardening shelf for me to work at! We will be putting larger paver bricks under the grill soon(ish)!

This is the "secret" paasage to Ron and Jans yard, Norm planted a couple of bushes, built a cute little boardwalk and filled it in with rock and 2 solar lights, no more muddy feet!
