hahahaaha.....this picture was taken at our (mine and Kim's) class reunion. We dressed our husbands the same (unknowingly). This is the ultimate funny brother in law photo ever in our family. Of course only Kim and I think it's funny. No one else really gets it as much as we do! I laugh everytime I see it. hee hee.

Ty&Maddie

Just love doing layouts of Tyler and Maddie. Not sure when Ty will go back to College...either this week or next week, so I am trying to get as many photos with the two of them as possible. They are soooo cute together.

We went to the Uptown Art Fair today. Pretty Cool stuff. Ty's never seen Todd's woodstuff and thought it was pretty cool. Madison referred to Uncle Todd as "that guy". Pretty funny. Anyways, saw some cool artsy fartsy stuff and now I am all inspired and want to CREATE. We also sat and watched some guys tap and dance and do some cool drumming on buckets and Ty is all inspired to dance and perform. Steve is still looking for his own niche', hee hee. Gotta go!

20 Year Class Reunion

Well, had my class reunion tonight. I wanted to look through the photos so I downloaded them and decided to also blog! It was pretty much fun all around to go to the reunion and see everyone. Fun to watch the same people who still act the same and then to get into conversations with others that I didn't know all that well or lost touch with. Here is a photo of our entire class....

It was nice to actually see my whole group of friends....here's a photo of us...

It was fun but to tell you the truth, 20 years really isn't long enough yet for me to miss high school. I think the best thing though for the entire night was when other's asked me "how things were going" I got to say back to them, "life is really good for me right now". I am lucky to have a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter and a great stepson. I guess that made me feel good to be able to say that to them and it be the truth.

Here are the rest of the reunion photos!

Beach Baby

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand....

Comments

Just so you know you can now leave comments on this blog. Ya don't have to leave any...but incase you want to you can do it now without having to sign up or anything...I just changed the setting.

TyTy is home! Yippee! Finally....photos of da boy. It is so fun to watch big brother and little sister because Madison soooo looks up to Tyler. He is God! She follows him around like a puppy but then she will do something, like ignore him or say NO to him and it's right back to being brother and sister. It's so fun to watch!


We got back from Grandma Gracie's today (me, Madison, Auntie Lynnie and Logan). It was really fun. We watched Haley's soccer game .....










Went to the beach (I'll spare you of any beach photos!) and gave Logan a makeover.....

Layout of Kylee & Nikkers

Cute layout of 2 cute sissies together.

Chicago Photos

To see my Chicago pictures, just go ahead and hit "view all images".

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.
