Coolest Desserts

My son's girl friend Devin makes the coolest desserts!~! Look what she made this year! They are CUP CAKES!!

Have you ever...........

Have you ever stood in front of a mirror and try to take your own photo?? Well, anyway 16 inches are now gone from my locks. I am donating the braid to childrens network. They make wigs only for children and they do not charge them a lot.
When I first got it done I felt like a bobble head.

In three or four years I will do it again.

Scrap booking.

I have been scrap booking. Scroll down and read my next two posts...I posted three today!~!

YAHHH!!!! JOE!~!

Joe graduated from the Police Academy yesterday. We are so proud! Last year it was the NAVY, this year The Police Academy...WOW!~! I wonder what Next year will bring?? He mentioned something about wanting to learn how to fly a plane........

MY Trip & Updates:

WARNING!~! This might get lengthy:

Today I went on the 2009 Holiday Shop hop.

I paid for the bus tour and we went all over Michigan. Johnny was our driver. I think he got a smidgey irritated when the tour went into over time. But G (insert BIG eye roll here) try getting 42 women out of a quilt store that has over 7,000 bolts of fabric! It is like taking your kid to a play place and telling them it is time to go home. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the response will be.

I bought the kit from each store to make the Holiday Quilt.I also bought extra fabrics, a few patterns, buttons and took gadzillions of photos!

In each shop they were running a special. If you brought in a can good, you would get a free ornament to make! You bet your boots I brought mine!

One lady was really funny. She had heinz gravy, icing, french onions.....she made the statement: 'If my husband asks what happened to Thanks Giving day dinner; mums the word!"

I had a really good time.

They fed us really well too! She kept coming up and down the isles yelling: "get your feed"...snicker..like we were cattle or something

Home coming 2009

Jesse Had a great time!

Running up to speed

Time to play catch up:

* My father in law is at home from his respite. Please continue to pray for the family.

* My grandmother....bless her heart! She is a cat with 9 lives and going on the 20th. She died last year and was a no code blue and they brought her back to life, oooops..............since then she wants to live.

* Jesse is in baseball. That alone takes up a lot of time.

* Joe is getting ready to graduate. (again rofl) Then enrolled in the academy to graduate again in Dec...ROFL

* I have begun a personal journey to get fit and healthy. I had put on the pounds and wasn't very happy with myself. I joined a free weight loss web site that does it all, and I mean DOES IT ALL FOR YOU! You meet so many friends and learn so much!

* Dan bought himself a new bike and his been riding daily.

* We are working on our yard. Making a new dog kennel and I think we are going to take out the pool.

* Now about quilting: I am keeping up with my BOMS, got a UFO on the frame and plan to have it done by Saturday. I will post pictures later.

So for now I will leave you with pictures of Foster. He is a crazy dog! He ALWAYS is carrying something in his mouth and if he sees something else laying around he will try to cram it in also.
