So why oh why do I watch this show???  I was actually looking forward to tonight's episode and I really liked the four guys she was down to, but oh my don't ya just love Graham!!  Oh should I say didn't you, because he's gone... and while I don't blame her, he acted like such a jerk but yet you could see such chemistry between them?  Who knows???  At least I got some paper work done...

Starts off with a trip to the dentist for both Zach and I.  I have some unfinished work to be done and Zach will begin the prep for his braces which will go on before high school begins.

Work out with Chelsea if I get back in time

...that's what this weekend was about.  Joel wants to go camping July 4th weekend and I said we need the long weekend home to work in our yard.  Do I need to remind him we are having a graduation party in a few weeks?
So my compromise was to go camping this weekend in exchange for having the 4th home to work on whatever it is we need to finish.  Like the turn around which we have been talking...

That's what both Zach and I got from working in the yard last weekend.  I don't know how only he and I got it and not Joel, but needless to say we itch!  Zach unfortunately has it even worse than me.  We have been using the Benadryl Gel and while it helps, if anyone has any tried and true remedies I would love to hear more about them?
Some fun news?  I got my cabinet home today and Chelsea helped...

we spent the day out in Michigan again.  Heading out at 7am and returning home at midnight.  And what a fun day it was.
There were six of us from Ohio and we met up with Debbie and Brenda in Michigan.  We spent the day at Debbie's store and a bunch of other stores throughout Brighton.  Going to lunch and picking up bread at the Great Harvest Bread store on Main Street... yum!
I picked up some...

Be sure to check out the new Group we started on flickr for Work in Progress kits.  Also there is a flickr site just for view of all the kits, new and old here. I have learned a lot about flickr, like making sets and collections but I wish there was a way to merge them together and if someone knows of a way, please let me know...

The kits this month are just awesome!  However the project kit...

From my Button Farm kit.  It was so fun and so easy to put together and I can't wait to make another!  Covering the Maya Road box using making memories papers and flower embellishments.
Each tag is about 3 X 7 and they fit into the box when done.  I'm thinking of adding some of Chelsea's graduation pictures to each tag.


We had a fun day together celebrating Zach's birthday and ended...

Happy Birthday to Zach who is 14 today!
Today, June 17th is Zach's birthday!  After bowling and some birthday shopping he will pick the restaurant of his choice that we will enjoy for dinner...

Yes, Zach the kid I...

And I couldn't be happier! 
I was worried when I was putting the book together about the amount of pages I was trying to include, but I have to say its perfect!  The 7 X 7 size adds more to its appeal and I'd take more pictures of it, but I can't seem to get it from my hubby as he keeps reading it!  Very cool and I will so do it again!



Tomorrow is Zach's birthday and although...
