Graduation Vortex is over!

I have been trying to write since the 7th, really shocked that it took me so long to write. It's summer time and as with me and everyone else, I've been busier than an one arm paper hanger with an itch!

Graduation went off perfectly, both sons graduated! Hurray! We went to table top Japanese cooking, which was a lot of fun! Below you will see the boys with Andy and I and the following picture is their "other mom" with their sister Analise.





When it was said and done, they left for Vegas for the week, and Andy and I took off for the Mission Inn as part of "our" graduation present to ourselves which just happened to be Father's Day. It was incredible as usual, had an incredible time, had a tour of their catacombs, now I don't even have words for that experience, took the historic tour of the hotel the next day, WOW! What an experience! I am truly in love with this hotel and can't wait until we are there for our Christmas Party.

Hope you enjoy these pictures, they were a blast to take!



Our favorite bartender!

I have soooo many other pictures, that I want to share, so, today I am going to put them on my Picassa in a format so you can see more!

My heart hurts!

 Graduation caps...

Well, I tried to get these to the graduation for the kids, that will teach me to put them in the back seat of the truck and drive through dirt roads, what a mess! I couldn't give them to the kids, when I parked and opened the back door, the sight took my breath away.

Then the tears hit, disaster! Well as my sister says "No good deed goes unpunished!

Well I saved some to give to my sons tomorrow, but the rest, total loss!

Well today is the day!

This is the last day of High School for my twins! What a wild ride, have been battling depression and manic behavior, very strange if I say so myself.

I have been getting ready for tomorrow "graduation day". With Andy's ex-wife coming in, boys not wanting a graduation party, to that I ask "Isn't everything worth a party, especially a graduation!" Well, I picked myself up and said "Well we will just go out to dinner and call it a night. Now I feel as though I have way too much time on my hands, rather strange feeling.

However, I did make it a goal for myself for the kindergarten class I have been TAing in. I made the graduation caps for these great little kids and am heading over there this morning to see these cuties!

The caps were extremely easy to make, considering anything with chocolate scares to me work with, so this was a huge leap for me. I just kept laughing when I was making them. Andy loved them and they are absolutely precious!




I loved putting these together and can't wait to give them to these kids.

Have a great day and now I promise not to wait too long before I post again, can't believe it had been two weeks!

Writings on the Wall

Well, if spring fever is not enough to want you to get your house in order, the boys are graduating in two weeks from today. No,- we are not having a party, but the ex- wife and her husband and daughter will be here for two days, so naturally as a female, you want all the ducks in order when they are here. No, they are not staying with us, they will be staying up on the hill at our friends home (his weekend home, at it was our first of four homes we have had since we have lived in Big Bear. Two being full time and the other two was weekend homes.

So today, I fiddled around on the computer looking for different thing I could do to my home, just little things but would make a huge impact.

I found a company, well a few companies that does vinyl writing. I have a couple of saying in my home, i.e. the picture below, which is in the kitchen over the fridge and wanted to do a couple more.



I look at them as being tatoos for my home!

I haven't decided on which phrase to put on my wall above my headboard in my bedroom. Those would be:

Don't dream your life, live your dreams

or

I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen - Pooh.

My thoughts..I LOVE the second one, I was going to put it in my living room so when you walked in, you would immediately see it, put it seems so cute to have it over my headboard.

Give me your thoughts I would appreciate it! I am going to send over pictures to this company to help me design it!

Also, I have decided to dedicate on wall for Woody. I put together a collage of pics of him yesterday and put it on this wall and decided what a great place to show off pics of him. So I have decided to order the words "Woody's Wall" How cute is that?

I made the funniest joke to the word company, saying how I named him was because of him eating a stick when we first saw him. Good thing he was eating a stick because his name could of been Rocky or Poo! I crack myself up!

Well off I go, I still have not found the jack rabbits, and boy did my sister dog me hard on that on Sunday, I'll show her!

Have a great day, my friends!~
