{a blonde moment}: May/June as told by my camera card...

Wow... I think that this is the absolute BEST way to take care of this update! By going through the photos that I have taken! None of these have been touched up... they are what they are! And just a warning... this post is LOOOOOOOOONG! Give up now if you don't want to see it!

I actually got to SEE E's band concert this year... Isn't she adorable! She just LOVES playing the flute, and she is really good at it! Chuck and I have NO clue where that talent comes from... because we can't play a NOTE to save ourselves! She did an amazing little trio to boot!

Next we headed to the Big D to celebrate the marriage of my dearest cousin... She actually got married back in September in a civil ceremony, so this was the chapel ceremony. How funny to announce that she will be having GREAT-grandchild #15 this November! We wish her little Kiwi (her husband is from New Zealand) a happy entry into this world!

While celebrating... I managed to get some amazing photos (some Chuck took too) of our wonderful little family! The two dapper gentlemen are my 96 year-old grandfather and his baby (92) brother!

We wound up May with a trip to my parents' house and FINALLY got to get the ski into the water! This is the first time E was allowed to ride it by herself! Chuck thought it would be "fun" to splash MOM! Nice... T wasn't all that impressed with the ski, so he plucked golf balls into the lake! We need to get that boy a driver! Go Daddy... GO!

They also welcomed the newest member of their family... Bandit! Isn't he adorable?

We spent a very relaxing week at Chuck's sister's fishing camp to celebrate Chuck's 39th birthday! I think I did better catching photos than I did catching fish!

Left E there for a few weeks, so we took T bowling... Check out that FORM!

Worked on the next phase of my scrap studio... I am so loving IKEA about now! Next is my desk... then my library cabinet! This is the studio of my DREAMS! Thanks baby!
