Our June

Well...surgery has pretty much kicked my butt this month. I'm too tired to do much of anything, but here are a few pics of the happenings this month...

The Bear's Cub Scout pack had their "Raingutter Regatta"!

And The Bear won 2nd place! Hooray!

He had to "Wolf" down a plate of whipped cream to get his Wolf Badge!

Clinton and Lianna are touring Europe with Arizona Ambassadors of Music! They've been gone a week. Today, they are in Switzerland!

Well...I may be feeling crappy....but I've lost 42 lbs! Go me!

High School Musical

Dave got tickets from work to go to a production of "High School Musical" being perfomed at a dinner theater near us. He and The Bear went for the dinner and I showed up right before the show. The Bear and I LOVED it! It was so fun! Dave.....tolerated it! lol

New Post Up

I have FINALLY put a new post up on the weight loss blog. If you've asked to be added, I will try to get that done later today. I can only sit for a little while still. Look for your invites in your email...coming soon!

Home Again

I am home from surgery and everything is going...ok. I am very sore and in a good bit of pain. Blah. I have to be on "clear liquids" for the next 10 days, which is going to be pretty hard to do. But...I can do it. I just might complain a little! lol

Here is a picture from the recovery room. I was so out of it...I don't even remember them taking it! LOL I have some really great (gross!) pics that I'll post over on the weight loss blog!

But for now, I'm off to take some more drugs and have a nap!

Be Back Soon!

I am leaving today for the rest of the week. I am having surgery tomorrow and should be back by Sunday.

I will have lots of updates when I get home!!! Yay!

Clinton's Graduation

Here are some pics from graduation! It rained all night and everyone was soaked, but, it was memorable! Click on the pics to get the full effect! Especially the kilt pics!

Today Is The Big Day!

I can hardly believe that Clinton is graduating tonight! It is a very weird feeling! I've got a lot to do today...we're having a dinner here before we go to save seats for graduation. I am so excited for him and a little scared too. It feels very surreal to me. I am so proud of him and his hard work over these years! But how did he get from this:

To This.....

Oye!!! Such a happy and sad day!

The Dancin' Grannies!

Ever since my mom and her sister did the Macarena at our reunion a few years ago, we've called them the Dancin' Grannies! Well...they had a sisters reunion at my mom's house last week and my dad took a few shots of them. I've edited them, and here they are!

And....here they are...sitting in my mom's HUGE new tub! LOL LOL LOL

Gotta love the Grandma's!! LOL

Yawn

It is 4:30. I have been up since 3:30. I am feeling nervous and stressed. And tired and headache-y. I am shooting family pictures for a friend of mine today and I am so worried that I'll do a sucky job. I hope it will all go ok. She knows I'm just learning, but still! I want them to look great!

I have been on my low carb diet for a week now. I have had ups and downs. I don't know why I fight myself so hard. I make myself crazy! It will be so nice to finally have this surgery over and start on the rest of my life.

I'm going to go and try to sleep again. If I don't, I'll want to eat something. Crap.

Healthy Habits, Happy Homes

My friend, Bethany, and I have started a new support group with some of the women at church. It is called, "Healthy Habits, Happy Homes" We meet once a week to discuss different topics and to support each other in developing a more healthy lifestyle. Last night was our first group and it was awesome! It was so great to bounce ideas off each other and realize that all of us are trying to do things to improve ourselves! You can follow along on our group's blog! We will be posting weekly the topics we discuss and each week we'll have a healthy recipe there too!

My Parent's New House

We've been working SO hard to get everything put together in my parent's new house. Here are the finished pictures! I think it looks AWESOME! I wish I could take credit for the decorating, but they bought the model home with all the furniture, etc. We just had to put it all back together!

Holy Busy Batman!

We have so much going on right now! I guess the end of the school year is always like this. And with graduation coming up, there is more happening than ever! It's an exciting and scary time!

The Bear and I are heading out to my mom and dad's this morning to help them get their house all put together. I have a van full of dishes, towels, ect to deposit into their new house! Yay!

I'll put some pics up when we get all done!

Gotta Get Movin!

I am trying to get so much done today, but having little success. I went walking with my Aunt Barbara this morning. That was good. We haven't walked for a long time, but are going to start doing it 3 times a week in the mornings.

When I got home, I started mucking out my room. A friend of mine gave me a nice cabinet when she moved and I'm going to stash my scrapbook stuff in it. But, I've got to get a space cleared out first. That's no easy task. Grrrrr...why am I such a slob??

I absolutely HAVE to get Clinton's graduations announcements out this week. Maybe I'll sit him down and have him address some envelopes. But...would the post office be able to read them?? Hmmmm...

I think the Excedrins I took this morning are wearing off. I'm feeling so sleepy. Maybe I need a couple more!

We Rock!

Dave's sister and her family were here visiting over the weekend. So, on Saturday night, we had a little family get together and played a TON of Guitar Hero! It was A BLAST! And so funny watching everyone!

Oh yeah, Honee....You're SUPER awesome!!

The drums were stinkin hard! We kept getting Boooed off the stage! LOL

Wes was rockin' the Queensryche Tee-shirt!

Linda and Ashley singing "Freak On A Leash"!

The Bear LOVED it! He thinks we MUST get Guitar Hero for Dave for his Birthday!

He kept saying, "I was really ROCKING! Right Dad!"

God's Paintbrush

I just love how these photos turned out! My Aunt and Uncle are here visiting from Hawaii, so we had a family dinner out at my grandma's/parent's place last night! The sun began to set just as we began to eat, so I pulled out my camera to catch some shots!

Isn't Heavenly Father an awesome artist! We're so lucky to have this beauty all around us! I'm so glad I got to capture some of it!
