VOILA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(That's Brutus watching me in the window)

It's a lot redder than I expected, but I LOVE IT!!!!

It looks like a barn, and hey, I have a thing about barns. Now all I need to do is build me a silo like the ones in Minnesota!

FRIDAY FUNNIES!!!

OK, this guy is our latest obsession. His name is Jeff Dunham and he's hilarious!
(Warning: there is language and some of it may be offensive):

ALERT!!!

I'm getting my house painted!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully they'll be done tomorrow and I'll have pretty new pictures to post on Monday!!! Stay tuned!!!

OUR WEEKEND!!

The big news is: hockey is out, FOOTBALL IS IN!! AC is on the freshman football team at North High!! He is very excited and seems very committed to it. He can go back to hockey in the off season. Right now, he has practice every day, Mon-Thurs, for 3 hours. Practically all summer. In the heat. Ugh!!! But he's sticking to it. I am extremely proud of him!!

This was 6:00 on Saturday morning:

While I was out watering my thirsty plants (at 6:30 in the morning!!!), I found this mutant Siamese Gerbera daisy. This isn't Photoshopped, this is real. Freaky, huh?

One more bday pic

This was AC last night at taco night. They bring out an ice cream sundae, put the sombrero on you, and sing Happy Birthday. Notice the redness to his face. He HATES stuff like this. (That's why we enjoy doing it so much!)

TWO GRADUATIONS AND A BIRTHDAY

That's what we've been up to this week. AC's 14th bday on Tues., his Jr High graduation on Wed., and KT's Elementary School graduation today.

Let's start with the birthday:

OK, so he's 14 and the thing he wanted the most was an Obi Wan Kenobi Force Action Light Saber:


********************************************
I didn't get a very good picture of his graduation because we didn't get good seats. Luckily, the kind lady in the front row pointed him out for you.

Look how TALL he is!!!!!!!!!!!

Now on to KT.

This was last night at 6pm.

This is an hour and a half later:

KT and her teacher this year (KT cried through the entire ceremony; she got her teacher and a few kids in her class crying, too)
