Graduation Day

Yesterday my baby graduated from 5th grade, and today he spent his last day ever in elementary school! How fast they grow! In just a short month he will start middle school. Where has the time gone? I was thinking yesterday while at the graduation I have been "in" that school for 10 years... Katie's years and then with Timothy. It will definitely be strange to pass the school and not think my baby is in there. Here are a few photos from Mr. Personality who LOVES to have his photo taken... NOT!

I scrapped!

Haven't been doing a whole lot of that lately, but I did scrap yesterday and today! Here are my 2 pages!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEIGH!!!

Today is my Sister Leigh's birthday... she'd shoot me if I told you how old she is, but let's just say, she's older than me!!! LOL

The first memories I have of my sister are when she moved in with us when she was around 9 and I was 5. Like any loving sisters, we got along grandly... right from the start. We were the epitome of perfect sisters.... (you belive that right?) OK, truth be told, we fought like cats and dogs. Years have passed but now we get along great, so I wanted to wish my sister the greatest of birthday wishes on this special day!!! And of course you know I cannot have a blog entry without a picture, so let me leave you with this gorgeous picture of how I remember my sister!!!

Moving Day!

Today Katie left to go to Governor's School. Accompanied by her dad, her Poppy and her Uncle Butch, she moved everything she would need for 6 weeks into her dorm room. It was a sad day for me because I couldn't be there for her when she left, but she knew I was thinking about her and wishing her the best of luck! I *think* she packed enough... here's a photo of her stuff... it had more of an impact before it was in bags and boxes...



The keyboard went as well, along with a refridgerator that was not in the photo, a tennis raquet, and a page long list of "last minute" items! Fortunately she is not too far from home in case she forgot something....

Cough*Cough*Cough

From Wral-tv news online:
"Smoke drifting west from a slowly spreading wildfire in eastern North Carolina has led state regulators to upgrade their warning against outdoor activity in the Triangle.

The state Division of Air Quality issued a Code Red warning for the region and for Rocky Mount Thursday afternoon that is expected to remain in effect through Friday.

WRAL meteorologist Chris Thompson said light winds overnight will allow the smoke to sit over the Triangle overnight, so the effects of the smoke will be worse Friday morning. Winds form the southeast could help move the smoke out of the area later in the day, he said."

Yep, it is definitely smokey out there! Here's a photo looking up to Mom and Dad's house from mine:

My Funny Face Boy!!!

I love these pictures of Timothy... it helps to remind me he's still my little boy when he so much these days tries to act like a Man!

I used a sketch here for the week #23 challenge on 52 Sketches...52 Weeks if you have not been to this site you should check it out!!! Lots of great sketches here!!

New Do!

Yep, Katie got her hair cut again... she gets it shorter and shorter each time these days! I am scared of what it will be like next!!!

My Handyman!

Nope... I don't need one...

... a man that is... LOL

My mom has told me for years I need to find me a man, so I will have someone around to "fix" things when dad isn't able anymore. Well, guess what? My little man is FINALLY old enough to be the Handyman!!! We bought a bookcase at Wally World the other day, and he insisted he could put it together all by himself... well, take a look at his work!
