It has been awhile...

I am so sorry I have not posted anything lately. It has been awhile. But it has been crazy busy around here....I'll probably forget some of it and leave it out :(

Mom, dad, Kristy, & Rich went and have made it back from Egypt. Very jealous but I am saving for my turn :) Their pictures are amazing and cant wait to see it with my own eyes. They brought back some of the greatest gifts ever! Mom found an Eye of Ra necklace for me...its ahhhh-mazing! I got a beautiful black, blue, & gold Galabeya and a GORGEOUS red Belly Dancing Outfit :) Mom had my favorite earrings made for me and lots of other little things. Scott was brought back a Mizmar and another musical instruments that I forget what they are called. Its amazing how with the one, he had no idea how to play it yet figured it out in 5 mins...he is so talented :) Oh and the best beach towel EVER that they found....they found it in McDonald's. It's blue and gold and has "McDonald's" written on the top part and then camels & the pyramids on the lower part....its great! :)

While they were gone, I found a Toyota Sequoia and traded in my car :) crazy I know but this Sequoia is beautiful and couldn't pass it by.

ummm lets see, oh! Scott built a shelf in the garage for storage so now we have to re-organize the whole house to spread out the stuff we never use :P

This week, I am working on 3 cakes for people. I am really excited. They have all picked out great themes so I just hope I can make awesome cakes for them :)

Our youth group is doing great. The girls had a sleepover and had a great turn out! They all got along and made great friendships. Our next few events are going to be a blast. We have a hayride & bonfire planned and another weekend, the whole church is invited to sleep come for a Youth/Family Camp out. We are going to have dinner together, play games, have a bonfire, and camp in the cabins. And before we know it, it will be Halloween where we are planning a Costume Party....what a crazy busy month...shew!

This past weekend was great. We went up to Cincinnati to see the folks since they just got back. It was fun seeing them and all their pictures. Scott and I were able to FINALLY eat at Montgomery Inn Boat House and then we headed over to Fountain Square for the Midpoint Music Festival......that was quite interesting. There was this rapping group making fun of white people and yet, all the white people where dancing along....
But the second band was pretty good. They were from Brooklyn, NY and they have a song that MTV has picked up and will be playing it next month they said. UC was playing the Sooners and almost had them but I kept checking out the wedding that was going on in the hotel next to the square.

Scott's job has recently moved him into the office and he is loving it. He says it's a great balance where he is in the office but still gets out to the job sites often.

Well, I think I have caught up on everything :)

Kentucky Family Reunion

What a great weekend! Kristy & Rich came in from Virginia, Eric & Jes brought Madelyn, and mom came down. We headed over to the farm for another fabulous Kentucky Family Reunion. We sat in the heat, swam, and even ate lunch out of a garbage can :) & then, everyone finally got to see our house for the first time. We missed you daddy! Hope I took enough photos for you to feel like you didn't miss a thing.

Lunch from a [clean] garbage can :)
