In Getting ready for the grand opening for The Dog Spot we had a fun little photo shoot at Debbies with all our dogs. Its funny the things you say when you are shooting dogs, things like "Jake can you please put your toung back in your mouth" and "Can you please not lick yourself right now!" The best was when Dash realized that there were cows across the street and decided it would be loads of fun to chase 5 cows around in circles....good times. No matter what I'm doing with my crazy sisters there is always lots of laughter. I love it.

We have a little cold going around our house right now so we have had a lazy Saturday and it is lovely to just relax and get some scrapping done. I ordered a mini kit from one of my Fav. scrapbookers last night so I'm anxiously awaiting to get my hands on it!!! Until then I am still working on our Puerto Rico trip and doing some Halloween minis and getting ready for 25 Days of Christmas (only 3 months to go:) and today I want to do dare 148, whats your number combo.

T minus 24 days until Marisa starts driving school!!! We are planning a dinner party for her birthday and now I'm trying to work some games in between the different courses. Moriah did a test run for the dessert and it was delish. Molten Choc. lava cake with raspberry sauce! Going to be a fun one!

Justin auditioned and is now part of the Jazz band for his college! We are very happy for him! What a great start for him!

A New Start....

One Senior, One Junior, One Sophomore and One 4th Grader.....week one down and things are going good. Lots of homework, soccer games and practices. I can't believe how smoothly we have fallen into a routine. These kids are so cool, so easy, so much fun!! The older kids are loving their brand new, state of the art school and Mattias is enjoying his first year with a male teacher and his co-teacher Theo (his dog:) We are now looking forward to the upcoming Holidays (even started deocorating..shh..don't tell anyone)

Still kind of emotional from 9/11 but have been feeling extra grateful for all I have! Been scrapping a lot lately and can't wait to post some stuff. The Dog Spot is moving along nicely, we will be doing a photo shoot this weekend with all our dogs for a little something I'm working on for opening day, November 1st!!!!

T minus 29 days until my daughter turns 15 and gets to start driving(with us of course). That is a little nutty I think! And in 24 hours Justin will be home, what is with my kids the travelers...I love it!

Savoring Our Summer Memories.....

So much happened this summer and I just don't want to forget any of it. Our summer was full of sunshine, family time, laughter, tears, some really good times and a couple of really bad times.
Recap:
In June we had Marce, Justin, Jared and Wytia's graduations. My Mom and Dad were here which always makes me happy. We had Marce, My Moms, and Dashes birthdays. Marisa went on her own little vacation down to Cali, had a great time with her cousins! Mattias started his first summer of summer camp(did not really make him happy:) Marce and I went away for our lovely 3 day getaway!!
In July We had our Utah family and more family up from California and a wonderful 4Th of July at Debbie and Bill's. I had all three of my God Children here together:) We had Paramore and No Doubt. We had our Anniversary 16 years of marriage!! Justin put together a Jazz band and played on the main stage at Tour De Terrace. The Twins and Josh came back to finish their summer here.
In August we had the big float down the river and fun times after the big spill of 2009 that is. My kids and Marce had the Warpped Tour that they are still smiling from. We had Justin's Diagnosis given to us which has really thrown us and given us a lot of tears and times of grief.
We had a wonderful family vacation to San Fransisco and So Cal. I reunited with my High School Friends. We celebrated with my parents on 50 years of love. That was a wonderful night. Nanci got here facility to open The Dog Spot!!
What I didn't mention was all the little get together's, hanging out at home together, Sunday dinners, the record heat we had, the BBQ's, the hikes, the waterfalls, the coffee shop gigs, now thinking back the list goes on and on. I'm still sifting through all the pictures I took. Savoring, just savoring our summer memories......
