Chicago

At the last moment (very last moment) a road trip to Chicago was decided with my 2 nieces. Quality time with AUNTIE KELLY! We had a blast. I am now reconnected and have indepth knowledge with the youth of the world with rap songs and the Kelly Clarkson musical know-hows and what's. Kylee kept us posted with the highs and lows of the Twins world and Nichole whipped us around Chicago tailgating everyone! It was fun. I will post more of what we did and also photos but just NEEDED to get this on the blog since I have not blogged in a few days.

Here's a little preview of our Chicago photos.

What we do during the day!

Madison is home with me on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and we don't usually have a hard time finding anything to do.

Here we are meeting Auntie Lynnie at the Mall of America for a little R&R (kinda).

This was yesterday in the 100 degree heat. I could NOT get her to leave this park and I was absolutely dying of heat. We have a little deal (Madison and I) where we are trying to hit all the little parks that we see driving around in Bloomington.

I need to get some pics of TyTy on here. I am having StepMommy guilt that nothing is being blogged about him. OH....I think I forgot to say that Tyler made the Dean's list again. Woo-hoo TyTy!

I am off to take my Niece Nikka out to lunch for her birthday. July is such a busy bday month. 6 different birthdays. Eeks.

Kelly's book

Hey, I finally got news about one of the books my artwork is being published in! Also, here is a preview of the book. How exciting. My first published pieces!
The store will be getting a partial shipment for a book signing onSaturday, August 11th! August 13th the author will be sending out my books and then the book will be available online through their store down in Louisana!

How fun that we were invited to attend the book signing. If anyone orders a book I will certainly sign yours! hee hee.

There were 50 of us designers and I acutally have quite a few of my layouts in the book. So I am really excited.

Madison Happenings...

Me and Maddy making choc. chip cookies for Tyler. I ate most of them and are remaking some for him as I speak!



How fricken cute is this?

Steve's trip to Colorado.

Here are photos from Steve's trip to Colorado with da boyz. For some reason I can't get the photos to post on our blog, so if you hit *view all images* it will bring you to the photo link.

AND here are some photos of his leg since the "accident".

What Maddy's been up to!

Did we tell you she got herself a shiny brand new (well, old - given to her) tricycle! She's not tall enough to ride it yet. This is a little layout I did of her which is one of my faves.

Swimming pools, movie stars.....

Tyler's New Address

We FINALLY have Tyler's new address:
1204 Velslvi Blvd.
Moorehead, MN 56563

These are Steve's owies from motorcross biking. The big lump is a pool of blood in his leggie.

Madison on her little ride at the Taste of Minnesota on the 4th of July. She was very crabby-apples. Jeepers.
