June 5th was a SCORCHER and despite the heat and being in a tux Dylan never complained once. Cianah and I bitched about the heat every 5 seconds. He's such a mellow kid.
Graduation is this weekend and I imagine the waterworks will flow. I can't believe this little thing is 18 and will be off to college in a matter of months.
If she would learn to stop accelerating around corners and taking them on 2 wheels it might not be as bad.
She has improved for sure - driving her little car is so much better than her driving my van.
I of course prefer Karl as the instructor - because let's face it he is much more patient than I.
One trip out Tatiana was arguing with me "instructions." I told her "Tatiana you have a learners permit. You are supposed to be learning from me." She said "Mom, I am pretty sure if my teachers at school yelled at me like you do - I wouldn't learn either." Point taken.
I did finish my brother's tardis "quilt" it really turned out more as a blanket since I didn't quilt anything. He loved it and that's all that matters. I didn't take pictures of the finished product because I finished it as I was running out the door to the BBQ. I will take a picture of Karl's when I finish his. It will probably wait for a few weeks since I need to get Julie's B-day stuff made and mailed by Monday. :) Nothing like waiting until the last minute eh?
Speaking of waiting until the last minute....apparently my friends has the same affliction. :) Shana needed a quilt for a shower this evening. So I cut on Wed. and sewed on Thursday. I only got to wash it once so it will rag up a bit with more washing. I still think it turned out cute. :) 
The plan is to make Julie one of these bad boys this weekend - you know between the birthday party, wine tasting, visiting with my brother, and graduation this weekend. Should have plenty of time right??? If I can I have a few felt food/toy patterns I bought that I'd like to make as well. We shall see how this works out. If nothing else the barn for sure. 
For Chloe's birthday I plan on making one of these fun things. :) Either the princess one of a cool firehouse I found. God, how I love pinterest!! I don't just pin - I actually make the crap. :)
Bryana has another marathon week of basketball coming up. Mehlville's camp during the day and 8 games between Monday and Saturday. Yep - summer season is in full swing!
And in between the crazy sewing and kid activities Karl, Tatiana, Bree and I went with several FUBO girls and there families to bluffview campground in Piedmont for a weekend camping trip. Overall it was a good time. Alot of work for Karl and I - and this old body isn't used to not sleeping on my memory foam bed - but it was a success. Campfire's at night, swimming all day. And friends all around!
I didn't take any pictures while we were there - but here are some pics of the "pre-camp" when the girls set up in the back yard.
I don't think we will be camping on a regular basis - but I do think we can pull this off once a year with the FUBO girls.
Karl said he did NOT sunburn (despite my warnings to apply sunscreen) and that his peeling skin is a result of radiation from the Japan disaster making it's way to Clearwater Lake in the middle of the country....Yep, that's my husband. I think he just sunburned.
This will be a busy few weeks and I am really not a fan of this summer going by so fast. I will share pics of graduation and all the other things going on as well.
