Graduation 2011

We survived Kaylee's graduation! What a weekend. We had the graduation ceremony on Saturday @ 4pm. It was awesome! Kay looked very happy to finally be done. Even though she didn't do her senior year at the high school, she is very happy to close this chapter. Then we had her party yesterday with family and friends. Alot of food and cheer! Now we have the clean up!

Now she'll be off to Johnson & Wales Universty in Rhode Island to study Hospitality Mgmt.

Congratulations Kaylee! We Love you!

Mini-Vaca, Graduation!

Boy, its been busy around here. Kaylee and I went to Florida for a mini-vacation just the two of us. It was wonderful her to myself for four days. This weekend, she graduates from high school on Saturday and then party on Sunday.

We've also decided to get the house ready to be put on the market. John has been travelling over an hour each way to work and he is getting tired of it. So since both kids are now done high school, we are going to look for something a little closer for him.

We are doing alot of decluttering, painting and sprucing the yard. With the market the way it is, w ho knows if we sell it, but it sure will look good!

haven't done much sewing..hope to after graduation!

Decisions being made

It's been awhile since I've posted. I've been quite busy trying to get our house ready to be put on the market. We've made the decision to move closer to John's job. He commutes about 2.5 hrs everyday and its getting to be too much. So we're painting, sanding, decluttering!

Along with that, we are also getting ready for a graduation party! Our daugther, Kaylee, is graduating from high school. She didn't go to her senior year, instead she went to our local University for classes. So it really feels like she graduated last year. It will be fun though having everyone over for eats/drinks.

I haven't done much sewing. I had to turn my sewing room into a spare room so our house would really look like a 3 bedroom.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 50th birthday! Where did the time go? Seems like yesterday, I was graduating from high school. We went out for dinner with friends last night..great time had by all. Today I've been told to be ready to leave by 2:30pm. I wonder what is up their sleeves?





Hope you all have a great day! Here's a pic of John and I from our vacation last year in Florida.

Overnight Stay

Our nephew, Gavin (3 yr) stayed overnight this past Saturday. We took him to the playground for an hour or so and then we went to Chicken Donalds for dinner. He loves getting a toy in the happy meal. By 7:30pm he was asking to go to bed! What kid asks to go to bed? He does!




I've been doing alot of sewing little projects this week, but something went wrong with the machine last night. My thread wont grab the bobbin thread for some reason. John's going to look at this weekend and see whats going on. It might need to repairman!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Baby Quilt

I finally got the pic downloaded of the baby quilt I finally finished. Its a pattern from V and Co! It is so cute! Now I just need to quilt it.






The weather has finally started to feel like Spring. Today it was about 67 degrees! We were outside raking and playing ball with the pup, Mylo!

Hope everyone is having a good day!
