TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME

Saturday night was Girl Scout night at the River Cats. We love going to watch the River Cats play. We had the best time. Here are a few highlights:

Caitlin and Arianne cheesing it up for the camera. They were working it for some cotton candy.

This is my HOTTIE!!! Love those baby blues...I am a lucky gal!!

STAMPS, STAMPS AND MORE STAMPS!

As you can see I am in stamp heaven!! I had a sweet friend (love ya Jeri!) send me these stamps. I think she said you can find them at Joann's. The best part is I believe they are only $1 a piece. They all have the most adorable images and sayings.

The saying on these three are my favorite. I especially love the middle one.

GRADUATION PARTY

Here are just a few pics from Brittany's graduation party.

Brittany called this table her "shrine". Maybe I did get a little carried away with placing all of her achievements and so forth on the table. It's not like I drug out all of her baby pictures and kindergarten artwork. It's just her diploma, announcement, valedictorian medal, her academic letter, drama pin, and our favorite picture of her taken after graduation. Hmmmm....she's right...it's a shrine! ;)

Brittany and her "posse" enjoying their lunch.

Caitlin and Arianne are not only cousins but they are each others' best friends. Here they are enjoying the gorgeous weather.

FATHER'S DAY - CARD

Now that graduation is over I can concentrate on other things, like Father's Day. Here is a card that I made for one of the daycare kids to give to their dad. The stamp is "dad words -Q144" from Stampendous. Pretty simple card, I stamped the image once on the white card stock and then again on the background paper and cut out the word "dad" and adhered it to the cardstock. Doesn't get much simpler than that.

CONGRATS GRAD - CARD

Now that graduation is over I can post these. One of them was for Brittany and I did not want her to see it prior to us giving it to her Saturday.

Yes, I know, you are surprised to see that they are Bellas. LOL I told you all that I was obsessed with them. This is "diplomabella". I do not own her but one of the wonderful ladies from the Cricut MB was kind enough to stamp a few images and send her my way. The background was embossed with the "congrats" cuttlebug folder.

OUR VALEDICTORIAN

MVHS Class of 2008's Valedictorian!

Here she is with the President of her fan club, her sister.

...and here she is with the Vice President, her cousin.

This was the one moment where, for me, time stood still. This picture was taken while she was giving her Valedictorian speech. I am not quite sure that I can describe adequately just how I felt watching her on stage at that moment. It was like time stood still, like there was no other single person in the auditorium except for her father, myself and her. She was absolutely amazing, her speech was amazing and I truly felt like my chest was going to explode with the pride and excitement that I felt for her. She is just simply amazing!!

Celebrating after the ceremony with her boyfriend, Broc.

Here she is, our graduate, with her diploma. WAY TO GO BRITTANY!!!
