and then it seriously poured buckets!

Waiting for Max and friends to be done with football practice. Ally was watching (in her ballet clothes) a boy who was hurt leave practice and she said "that's why I don't play football!" LOL:)

7:05PM

Car full of crazy kids heading home.

8:00PM

puppy loving

9:30PM

Celebrating my nephew's 16th birthday!!

10:00PM

So I discovered from Brandon at the restaurant that he had a paper due at midnight...what??? I guess they email their papers these days and he had to have it in by midnight. Times have changed! He wanted me to read it and tell him if there were any errors or anything. Just what I wanted to do at 10PM on a friday night!

10:15PM

The final draft was finished and he sent it in. I was actually pretty amazed by the whole process. And I think it was the best paper he has ever written. It was about the American Dream and in it he mentioned that is dream is to join the Air Force and become a pilot! He has mentioned being a pilot a few times but I guess he is really serious. It both thrills me and scares me at the same time. So proud of him.

10:20 PM

And this was my view as I was saying goodnight...Max in bed and Brandon on the computer.

Interrupting Week in the Life for some exciting news!!

I had to interrupt my week in the life posts to share some exciting news...I am the Member Spotlight for September for Studio Calico!! You can see it HERE on the Studio Calico blog! I am over the moon excited about this!! When I got the email from Nicole (and almost fell out of my seat!) she asked if I had time to make a new layout...here is what I came up with:

I used the Double Scoop kit for this. Aren't those cameo cuts awesome?? They went perfectly with my photos!

Thanks Studio Calico for featuring me!!
