We have been extremely busy this summer. Over the last few weeks it has been hard to keep my head on straight. We went to San Diego for our Cousin's High School Grad Party. Shawn made Ryan a really cool custom chopped bike for his grad present. Here is a picture of Shawn's dad, Mike, riding it. I think he wants one of his own. LOL! We were lucky enough to get the family together and spend a day at the beach. We had a really good time.


The following weekend we cruised up to Sholoh, AZ for Memere's 80th Birthday. All of Shawn's Aunts & Uncles and cousins stayed at the B&B. It was an absolutely beautiful weekend. The weather was great and the food was amazing. We were even able to get a family picture with EVERYONE! That is soooo hard to do. I don't have a copy of it yet. Sorry.

This last weekend we celebrated my mom's birthday and her recent promotion. Jessica, Phil and Luke came up from Tucson and we had a BBQ at our house. We were able to relax and watch the kids play with each other and also took a dip in the pool. Shelby was a little rough with Luke. Either she is going to be a Brute or she still doesn't understand the word, "Gentle". Maybe even both, she is a big kid. But she did give him some hugs too. I made a really yummy Chocolate cake with a Cherry filling in the middle and a Hershey Kiss on top. There was only one piece left. I got to eat it! Ha ha ha.

Shelby's party is coming up so fast and we cant wait! We spent all day Sunday working on the new fence and the new entertainment wall. Things are definitely coming together. It is going to be a mad house but I am very excited with all the family and friends RSVP'ing. As long as a Monsoon isn't in the forecast we are gonna be A-OK.

We are also getting ready for Jenni's wedding in October. Vegas is going to be soooo much fun! We got our dresses and hell froze over when I fit in a size 6! Never in my life have I wore a 6. I am pretty sure there is a lady in China or the Philippines who needs to brush up on her math or get glasses. But I will take a victory where ever it may come. I have been hitting the gym and Bikram Yoga.
