Garden Love

We've got a truckload of tomatoes here.

Everyone agrees that fresh is best, so much tastier than store-bought vegies. Even Hannah (Miss Picky) has been eating those little grape tomatoes.

It's so much fun watching everything grow. Evan has been such a big help with the garden, watering every day for me and picking the ripe stuff.

I made this last week. Haven't done any scrapping lately, I miss it. Need that creative outlet!

Rib Pics

Mmmmm, they were delicious. Our faves: Rasta Joe's, Maui Wowie, and Bone Daddy's.


Cheers! Nice double chin, I know...that's what all you can eat/drink will do to ya. Did I mention I almost fell asleep at the table and don't even want to smell barbecue sauce for about a year?

What can I say, I love this shirt.

We have a date tonight, at the pool hall. Classy, no? It's playoff time for Shane's team...go Murphs!

'Night

It's been a good day. I've been pretty productive, which feels really good. Got the office straightened up, ran a bunch of errands, did some laundry, and...got my etsy shop up and running! There's a link over on the right if you want to check it out. Couldn't have done it without my lovely friend who let me borrow her camera.



See that? I took that picture just now! So cool to have a digi camera back in da house! Many thanks my dear, I know you are reading this even if you never comment. (hint, hint)

Dawn Patrol

We did it! Got up at 4:15am and actually arrived on time for Dawn Patrol at the Great Reno Balloon Race. The balloons are so pretty glowing in the dark. Then, as the sun was coming up, we watched all the other balloons fill up and get ready for the mass ascension. That's the best part, watching them pop up all over the park and finally lift off all at once - 90 balloons all together is a pretty amazing sight! It was early, it was cold, but it was worth it. Pictures to follow.

A Thank You To...

Commit 2 Paper! I got my prize today from the Scrapjacked challenge and it's a full-on kit! I am so stoked...and great timing since I need a little pick me up today. Thanks Ladies!

PS: Those SEI shiny die cuts are way cool.

Back To School Pics

From the first day of school-

The first week is under our belts and we're starting to get into the swing of things. Getting ready this morning went very smoothly.

I can't even believe that Jordan is a senior this year - doesn't seem possible. Especially since I'm such a youngster myself.
