July

Wow it's the last day of July and boy has it been a busy one. So today I thought I would post some highlights of the month.
First of all it's been awhile since I last posted a picture of my grandson. We had the oppurtunity to babysit him one day and of course grandma has to get the camera out and take pictures of this handsome little man. He is getting so big already, the time is flying by.

Then came Stampin' Up Convention in Salt Lake City. Mandi and I both went, we had such a great time. We met new people and learned tons of stuff. The days started 8 am every morning and on one day didn't end till 9:30 pm, they were long days but very well worth going.

Here we are standing in line on the first day waiting to go in.
They had put this stage together in the middle of this huge room called the gathering place, where we ate. So one day we took advantage of no one on stage and took our pics. I love how they made these look just like the stamping blocks.
This was one of our classes The Make-n- Take. With our new friend Karen sitting next to Mandi, and I don't know who the other lady is.
Heres Mandi doing the Macarana!! She's pretty good. Go Mandi, Go Mandi.
And for all the rest of the month I don't have pictures but we have been camping( I do have pictures I'll post them later) and family BBQ's, Lagoona beach, Lagoon, and Swimming with friends. It's been a great and busy Month but I wouldn't trade it for nothing. August will be about the same we have 2 more camping trips and Mandi and I are demonstrating several classes, Kaylene will be going back to Weber. So I look forward to it all. Thanks for stopping by.

Friends + Fireworks = FUN!!!!

Last night Kaylene and I went up with our good friends Ryan Mandi Alex and Darek to the Eaglewood golf course for the Annual Fireworks show.



Yesterday was also Dareks Birthday and we gave him his gift there. And guess what we gave him? Yep a WOODY DOLL!!!

I think he liked it!! How cute is that?
The evening was a little chilly but nothing a blanket couldn't fix, we had alot of fun, the only thing missing was my Hubby (who doesn't like crowds and loud noises) and Beccie, Reese Jay and Jaxson who are at Fish lake. Maybe next year I can get them all there!

Stampin Up Convention

I know to alot of you this is not that exciting, but for me (and Mandi) it's like waking up Christmas morning. I went to the mail box Tuesday afternoon and I pulled out this envelope addressed to me from Stampin Up. I thought it might just be another little brochure from them, but when I held it up to the sun light I could see that it wasn't. I was so excited that I hurried into the house sat down on the couch, took a deep breath and opened up the envelope to find all this inside.
You just can't understand the excitement I felt when I saw my name on this name badge. I immediately texted Mandi and found that she was just as equally as excited as I was. We have 3 weeks till we are going and I can't wait!
Again I know this isn't too exciting to you, but I wanted to share!
