White and Green Swap!

This was a fun swap because you got to know your swap partner because it wasn't an anonymous swap and we have been emailing each other back and forth.

She is a wonderful lady from Australia.
Here are the items I sent her. The theme was sending items "White and Green"

I tried to stay on theme as much as possible, plus I sent the Mormon cook book because there were a lot of stories about Utah.

Here are the wonderful items she sent me. It was a great package to receive.

I Love All of them.

More bad news!

Well I posted the pictures of the flowers first because I'm trying not to be too negative.

After the car hitting my house Friday night - cleaning up the mess and dealing with that reality of what happened through the weekend then Monday afternoon at work I got the call that my son might have broke his arm.

Well he sure did.......all the way through his humorous bone. We are going the orthopedic surgeon today for a check up. Guess we will see what happens next.

Sharing my beautiful flower with you.

Here is a picture of my favorite flower -Lilac bush.

This bush was transplanted by Scott and I shortly after

we bought this house from my Grandma Fox. I came from a patch of Lilac's that we took out on the side of the house. The more interesting part of this story is my Grandma Fox transplanting them originally from the home she grow up in Wyoming.

He are the beautiful flowers I got for Mother's Day.

This roses have a beautiful verity of color.
Yellow roses remind me of my Grandpa Fox.

I was selling them with my young women's group for girls camp money.

This one is my favorite because the combo of pink and yellow.

Scott bought 3 for me via me (his money - my idea)

and my brother bought some and gave me one.

It is great the way fresh flowers me feel.

Not a great way to start my Mother's Day Weekend.

Well Friday evening started out nice enough.......We went to my sister-n-law's house for a birthday party. We were there about 20 minutes when we got the news that we should go home.

Well this is what we came home to.
My landscaping was an innocent by standard.
Scott is not that sad about the porch railing.
He kind of wanted to change it anyway.

This is our basement bathroom window.

Glass went all the way across our basement hallway.

I'm so glad no one was home.

This is the damage on the inside wall of our bathroom.

This ought to be fun to get fixed.

Mother - Daughter Apron Swap

In the spirit of Mother's Day, I joined a Mother - Daughter apron swap.

When you signed up you told them how many aprons you needed and the age of your child.

I just signed up Cassie and I. My boys aren't interested in aprons. (Although Riley looks really good in aprons.)

We where also to send cook books with this swap.

I ended up with a partner with a 10 year old daughter which is very close to Cassie's age.

My swap partner let me know that her daughter needed an Adult small because she is really tall.

I also choose the aqua and red combo because those where her daughters favorite colors.

I hope Shawnee & Tatum in Oregon like there matching aprons.

Some Beach Some Where! Apron Swap

This is some fun fabric I found for this swap!

I also sent some little items so my swap partner Monica in Canada could have a Luau if she wanted to.
Look closely at the bathing beauties on the beach.
I hope she enjoys her apron!

State Competition 2009

Last Saturday Cassie had her last competition of the season. She did really well.

She took 3rd place on the floor exercise.

She took 5th on the Trampoline and 6th on the Double Mini.

All and all it was a good season. Especially for her first season doing this sport.

When we got home she wanted a picture of all of her metals and trophies she had earned in 2009.

Here is a video of the second pass on the floor.
And of her routine on the trampoline.
