One lucky girl: we're friends again

I had really lost touch with my SLR since taking on the 365 project last year and feeling forced to have my camera EVERYWHERE - everyday but recently I am reaching for it again and loving the great pictures that this camera takes. I have had fun clicking away. My memory card has over 400 images on it just from this last week. Back to my usual picture loving friendship:)

I took tons at Mags Graduation and I'll share a few favorites. Very proud moment for her and all of us who love her and feared this may not happen at one point over the last couple years.

Her boyfriend who was Validictorian

I'm so proud of you, Jessica!

{ a nickname that stuck after too many blonde moments:)

Jackson had his baseball game this week and I was able to get lots of pictures of the team. Jackson pitched and played first.. he had a ton of strike outs and a great grab or two. He also had some big hits and scored. They won!! He is having a great start and I'm so happy that he is happy!

and this one of jacob that is classic.. texting away..

Thursday was field day for both the boys at school. They came home so cute with their headbands that i had to get a picture or two. Jackson was on the pink panther squad and had to get a pink shirt from cait.

Jackson won the sportsmanship award for the entire school for field day.. He received an MP3 player and was announced for special recongnition .. he was so happy and I am so proud of him!

worked on several projects this week- this one is for a friend to give her daughters brownie troop leaders.. it's a book of songs for camp outs. Turned out pretty cute.

Friday was Jacob's last day at Stephen Mack. Hard for me to believe we have been here three years and he is now headed to Hononegah. Once your kids are in school, the years fly by and I know he has made so many friends. He is at a wonderful school and for that i am so grateful. I will miss knowing lots of teachers and feeling like an involved parent, volunteering,etc. i think that will change in high school with so many kids and rarely seeing them. There will be so many exciting new experiences ahead of him and I feel like i want to stop time yet i can't wait to see what great things await him.

To celebrate the last day of middle school, I went in on a limo with another mom. The boys thought we were picking them up for pizza with friends. Instead they were shocked to see this SUV limo. Truly a great surprise that I know they earned!

Cheers to you Beeba:)

Friday night we went to Garrett's and had all the boys there for pizza and hoops. Girls came over later and we had a bonfire. Shane and I left there for an hour or so and went to see his sister's band in roscoe again.

lots of family and friends there and we were bummed to have to take off but I went back for Jacob and even though it was supposed to wrap up by 9pm it went on til almost midnight. I had a few margaritas with Becky and we sat by the fire chatting about our great kids. good times.

Jackson has been checking on the nest daily.. the babies are here:)

lots of family time this weekend. We got our screens repaired and up, we ate meals on the deck and played cards, we went to a friends for bags tournament and beers, we slept in for the first time in weeks! We enjoyed the beautiful weather and Shane finally put in a new screen/storm door1 I've wanted that for 3 years so I'm thrilled to have it up:)

spent the rest of tonight doing laundry, catching up on projects and updating my june scrap stuff:blog, website, and newsletter!

Jackson is going to the zoo tomorrow and he has a baseball game tomorrow night if it doesn't rain. Jacob's graduation is tomorrow night. I am off early to go decorate the hall. I have been working on a slideshow for it for a long time and can't wait to see it up on the big screen;)

It will be a long night though because the dinner/dance is right after the ceremony and goes til 11pm BUT then Tuesday is my last day of work and we are off for the summer!
