I Hate Goodbyes

I said a lot of goodbyes this week.

First I said goodbye to my brother on Wednesday.

He is going to a two year rehab program.

I am really proud of him and hope he makes it through.

Then on Saturday I thought I would be saying goodbye

to the world. (Long story-short) some weirdo in

California predicted that May 21, 2011 would

be the end of the world.

Guess he was wrong- We're still here.

Then on Sunday I said goodbye to my church calling.

I was released from being the Relief Society President

after serving for 25 months.

I also said goodbye to everyone at the branch,

I am going to be attending the ward now.

It's funny we call them "good" byes but they

aren't always Good

So what do you think??

I really needed a change so I colored

my hair darker. I'm having mixed feelings

about it, in some lights I really like the change

and in some lights I hate it and want

my bright blonde back.

There has also been a mix of options about it.

What do you think?

like it

like it

hate it

really hate it

Like it

I had lots of fun modeling for myself,

can you tell- haha

My Cute Girls

I just love this cute little face. She makes me laugh and makes me so happy. I can't believe how much I love her. I don't even remember life without her. She is my little Lulu

This is such a precious face. She can be so naughty sometimes but I can't help but love her to death. She has been a fun addition to my life. She is my little Lollie.

Mothers Day Pie

This year for Mothers day I invited my family

over for dinner. This is the apple pie I made.

I put a "M" on it for Mom

It was tasty

Happy Mothers Day Mom

Hugs and kisses!!

Yard Work

This weekend I worked in the yard

making it all pretty again.

My brother helped me put new bark in

all the flower beds. Then I planted all my flowers

and even a little vegetable garden.

I wish I would have taken a before picture

cause it really looks soooo much better

This is the garden.

I planted cucumbers, cilantro, peppers,

tomatoes and cantaloupe.

Hope it all grows. The dogs have already

tried to eat some of the leaves.

Might have to put a fence around it.

I can't wait to eat fresh veggies and make

some good homemade salsa.

I'm crossin my fingers!!

Birthday dinner

I wasn't really in the celebrating mood this year,

but my good friends didn't want my birthday to pass by

without getting together.

We went to Agua Linda for dinner. It was real tasty and real fun.

Dawan, Katy, Me, Stacy

Katy, Me, Stacy and Steph

I actually had a really good birthday this year even

though I didn't want to turn "34"

I got a canner and a "how to" canning book.

Guess what I'll be doing all summer??

I got some cute summer shoes. I got some bath and body soaps,

handmade hair flowers (so cute) & a hot glue gun.

And a gift card to TJ Maxx which I used to get new sheets.

Some stylish earrings and a gluten free cupcake-

chocolate of course.

I got a gift card to Lowes to use to get all my

flowers for my yard.

I was really spoiled by everyone.

Thanks to all my good friends and family!!!
