FREE ICE CREAM...What gets better than that?

September 25... The World's Largest Ice Cream Social - Nationwide From 5-8 p.m., visit your local Cold Stone Creamery for a free scoop. In exchange, the ice cream chain's hoping you'll donate to its Make-a-Wish Foundation Fundraiser! Will someone remind me...I know I am going to forget, even with it on my calendar!

25 HOURS LATER....

Okay, okay...so I am slightly obsessed! I borrowed the book from a friend on Sunday, telling myself that I would wait until at least Monday to start it (mainly because Adam was leaving town for the week & I wanted something to do!). However when we got home that afternoon, it was nap time & everyone slept...except me of course, I have no self control! I finished it early Monday afternoon. I loved it. I have heard mixed reviews, but I thought it was a good summary of the events of all 4 books. What did everyone else think...please give me your opinion!?! ...I just love getting caught up in a good story, even if it is a vampire romance!

NOT SO QUICK JULY CATCH UP

Okay so I am jut getting bad a staying current with MY blog! I have been captured in the READER world. If you don't know about Google Reader...discover it! It keeps track of all your blogs and shows you the updates of the blogs you want to see. However... After it gets to know your tastes (kind of creepy or weird, I know) it will start recommending other blogs to you that might be of interest. Needless to say...I have gotten hooked and my list keeps getting longer! One to REALLY check out is called Seriously, so blessed! It is a satire on Mormon culture... soooooo funny! Anyway on to OUR goings on... We went "camping" with some dental school buds. We didn't stay the night but we had fun that afternoon. Bennett used his sweet hatchet skills and fire starting skills, while Blaze rode the deer target and threw rocks EVERYWHERE! We went to a birthday party at Mini-Grand Prix. The kids had a ton of fun on ALL the motorized toys! Adam won some serious tickets! They were still coming out when we took the picture! He ended up with 600 just from the one game! The boys showing off their prizes! I made some baby blocks for a friend who had a baby. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture before I wrapped them up! Just imagine how much cuter they were without the cellophane! Two of my other accomplishments...I fixed my dress. It was a tad too short on the layer underneath the gray layer (the gray is very see through). I made a ruffle to sew on to the underside & I thought I did a pretty good job! Watch out world I know how to make a ruffle now...things could get BAD!!!! The other is a sling that was commisioned. It was a darling number, with red paisley on one side and an old fashioned style nursery rhyme print on the other. I have started a blog for my slings...Snugabug Slings. I will be posting soon, but check it out! Blaze learned a new skill...that is until yesterday when he actually pulled it down on himself! I couldn't help but to laugh a little! I warned him! On a slightly sad note...Moxie & Riley have found wonderful, new, loving homes. Adam & I had been talking about placing them in new homes but it made me sad and stessed out to find people that I trusted enough to take them. It kind of all came together in a whirlwind of a week. My sister had "claimed" Riley and was moving back to Vegas after living in San Diego for the summer (lucky , Iknow!). I also had a girlfriend that called & was looking for a little yorkie to join their family. I am so lucky to know that they both are well loved little pampered poochies! On the upside Titus has really come out of his shell now that he is a lone wolf! He is starting to get over his very skittish nature (we don't think he was well taken care of before we got him at 6 months of age)and he is evolving into a totally new dog. What a good thing! That is about it for our little fam! I promise to try harder to update much sooner!
