Did you see that????

? that blur that just rushed past me?? I think it was my summer..rushing past me!! I can't believe it's almost the end of July! Where has time gone?

Since the last blog post...we've sent Ana off to Cougar Quest Camp @ WSU (academic fun classes-she'll be home tonight) Karina celebrated the first double digit birthday and I did my 3 days of my EETT grant training (information overload BIG time).



Because I was in class on Karina's birthday we just did dinner and cake when I got home (presents of course..now she can rock out big time!) so tonight I'm taking Karina and 2 of her friends (also July birthdays) to the Best Western in Omak and we're swimming, having pizza, watching movies and hanging out in the hotel all night :) Ana will join us for a bit when she gets home this evening. Brett plans on staying as far away as possible! LOL I know if works out okay that Ana wants to do it too for her birthday in Oct.

Karina and I have a few housekeeping things to do for tonight..like more food to eat in the room, some drinks, movies and cupcakes for celebrating!

The last week of July brings us allergy testing for Karina and a trip to the Tri-Cities to visit my mom and dad and visit with my bro and sil and my neice and nephew. The cousins need to bug each other (these are the youngest of the cousin bunch). Then it will be August and all the back to school demands begin! Ana has Band Camp, I have 2 days of Math training, an interview for a possible different position next year, hopefully a bit of family vacation, (beach and or the lake with Headleys) and scrapbooking!

I'm part of Peta Boardman's CT and 5 of us are part of the Battle of the CT's. Its a competition. We have to make layouts using the designers products and also follow the directions for the week. Last week was to use a common color (we chose pink, red and white) and to do a white space layout (white space meaning leaving more open spaces and not filling the whole page. Here is what I did.


We made it through the first round, our group was not in the top 3 (bummer) but we're on to round 2. Round 2 is to make a layout with a song type in it. We're using love songs. I'll post later with the link to vote when the round is up to vote. Voting only last 2 days :) and then the next round is put up! There are 4 rounds and the team with the most votes in the end win prizes :)

Okay off to do Karina's hair (she loves to have it all braided and made fancy) and then off into the stores to spend $$$ :)

Oh someone remind me to take a picture of karina's finished quilt :) Ana just got hers back the night before she left for WSU as we had forgotten it at my mils. She has some work to do on it before Fair so she better get to work!
