Twenty minute Simple Skirt Tutorial AND GIVEAWAY!!!!

Twenty minute Simple Skirt Tutorial AND GIVEAWAY!!!! (CLOSED)

Super cute skirt and fast... might have to try to make one.

Monday Monday

Welcome to Monday, where over the weekend you forgot everything!  So totally forgot that I have to leave work early today - oops!  Got it covered at least (thankful for my mom who saves the day again.)  Forgot to send pictures as promised yesterday morning.  Have to take care of that when I get home.

So a recap from the weekend...  Friday night went to volleyball practice with Kyla - the girls are really looking good.  Should be a great season.  Then took the girls to their dad's for the weekend with a quick stop for ice cream on the way.  Finally made it to Relay for Life shortly before 10:00.  I added 4 miles to the teams 245+ miles - GO Team Fabulous!

Saturday Bryan and I went out for my favorite breakfast - Country Chef.  Then we checked in on Team Fab... seems as though the rain was a bit of a damper, maybe next year will be the year of no rain?!?!?  A slow mosey over to Stanton for the Stanton Old Fashioned Day parade and an ELEPHANT EAR =)  An evening at home and supper at the bar rounded out the night.

Sunday I went to see Mel's new house.  So jealous =)  My sister has a beautiful new house.  I hope they are happy.  We went to the mall to get some new clothes for Bryan for the wedding this weekend.  He should be all set on dress clothes for a while (hehe.)

It's just the begining of a busy week!

Slacker

This is the only term I can think of to describe why I haven't kept this up

So a recap of what has happened...

• May - a full month
    Honors Band, AAU Volleyball practices, Band concerts and banquet, Tulip Festival - a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to work on photographic skills and meets some new people, Dance Recital for O'Malley, a trip to the U.P. for Memorial Day weekend and Kyla participating in the Mackinaw City Memorial Day parade with the band.

• June - a busy, rainy month
    Spent a lot of time wondering if we were going to have softball games due to the rain, State Volleyball Tournaments for Kyla, a successful Trading Days - a first for my brother-in-law Mike, the Washington DC trip - I can only hope that Kyla enjoying this time together as much as I did (we did so much there should be a whole post dedicated to it), Virginia Beach for me to enjoy time with my mom and dad, Grandma and Loren, and to be a part of Mike's retirement and Derek's graduation, and my first opportunity to do the training portion of my new job.

• July - WOW - hot
    A weekend away with Bryan, Mike and sis - Mel, in the U.P., our first camping trip of the season in Elsie for Dairy Festival, had a nice dinner with Sue and Linda -my work buddies, Denniston reunion was a great opportunity to visit with some relatives I hadn't seen in a while (Paul, 16 years - really??) and took some family pictures to hone that skill set, summer school was a new experience for Raygan, another great trip to the U.P. (which also deserves a full post by itself) rounded out the July family vacations, a week of band camp with Kyla being named co-drum major and a work trip to Muskegon pretty well finished up the month.

• August - so far so good
    We started off the month with more camping with the family at Leisure Lake Campground in Sumner, Bailey has been camping all week with Nana and Papa (wonder if she will be home at all this summer), Kyla has started volleyball practice - should know soon if it will be JV or Varsity, O'Malley has started cheer clinics as well as volleyball practices.

A little bit of summer left, and hopefully some more timely bloggin!  Until next time...
