It's almost Alaska time!

Zack Graduated on Wednesday last week. Here are some pictures from then.




This is Zack and his friend Alex

Aunt Bonnie enjoying zacks Eagles Blanket outside on my deck



My friend Carol's cat Sammy passed away a couple of months ago and I asked if I could have her cat tree.. boy do my cats love this thing. They actually fight over who gets to sit in it at one time.. they actually now can both sit on it but only sometimes. This is Baxter on it..she was the brave one who went on it first. I knew it would be her because she is so curious she wouldn't be able to stop herself..lol


This is Zack and his Godmother Stacie

Zack and Aunt Bonnie

Zack and me

oh this is dark.. sorry about this. but it just shows how well zack pays attention..lol

these next set of photos are from our jr. high reunion. some people had already left before we took these and for that I am sorry but here are some. I am not posting them all because there are too many.



Nick, Tina, Gina, Rosie, Laura, Michele, Aimee, Me, Cara, Shannon, Amy, Jennifer and Heather.

Jennifer Zack's other Godmother and Zack

This little guy thought he would wander into our party..lol he was so brave.. we even had little kids running around screaming. we kept him at bay by throwing sausages at him..lol

So Costco is great.. it is a lot of work and I am always very sore when I get home and in the mornings. I have to go into work today then tomorrow I work the scrapbooking store so I will get to play around there.

Saturday is carol's reception and then Sunday I leave for Alaska.. I am so excited. I am going to start to pack today and get all of my paperwork together.

Look for my blog on June 30th that is when I come back and will have a ton of photos to share with you!

Toodles.

Scrappy the little bunny


Last weekend my friend Barb who is on the left in this photo threw a party for our grade school friend Gloria who is right next to her. Gloria is leaving for Japan in a couple of weeks. I met Gloria in Jr. High but Barb, and Jennifer knew her in grade school. It was nice seeing her again before she leaves. She says she will be back in a few years. I hope so. Her husband got transfered out there but we will still be able to keep up to date with her and her family via her blog.

Where would we be today if it wasn't for the email? Blogs, myspace, facebook, etc. The internet lets us talk to people we probably would never talk to in our whole lives. I met a great man who lives in Ireland and he came out to visit us while he was here in the states during his vacation. I never would have met Adrian otherwise. And blogs are a great way to keep our families involved in our daily lives if they live far away. I am truly enjoying todays technologies.

Today we had a crop at the scrapbooking store and this little guy was found running around. We couldn't find the nest but there must be more he is so tiny. I told Carol who is holding him in this photo that she should name him Scrappy due to the scrapbooking store and him being a little tiny thing. She has another bunny and her husband Dan got another cage for this one. They will raise it with lots of love.


Scrappy wasn't eating. He was with us for over 6 hours and didn't eat at all. I hope Carol and Dan can find something it will eat soon.



I started painting my apartment. Finally right. Anyway I had this piece on my wall and took it down to paint and then put the saying above it. I love this company it is called Uppercase Living. You can go on thier website http://www.uppercaseliving.com/ and put in number 905665 to be able to look at the catalog online and then order if you want. I highly recomend it. They are like rub ons. I want to get more for other rooms.

This is my friends dog. They have been trying to mate her and believe she is 2 weeks pregnate. I will get one of the puppies if she has more then 1. I am so excited because I love this little dog. She is so tiny that she is half the size of my cats. take a 5x7 photo frame and she is about as tall as that. I can't wait until I get my puppy. She is a Chipo which is a chiwawa and toy poddle mix. I know I spelled that wrong but it is ok. You know what I am talking about. And before you even ask.. I will be that person that carries it around with me and maybe some fun little clothes..lol


Last weekend Linda graduated 8th grade and we were lucky enough to be there for it. Doesn't she look so cute in her dress. We love spending time with my Aunt and Uncle and Linda we actually spent the whole weekend with them last weekend until Sunday when I went to Barbs for Gloria's going away party.

I got a job working at Costco. My first full day is Tuesday. I have heard so many great things about how they treat thier employees and can't wait to be part of thier team. It isn't what I normally do but I needed work and here they were.

I saw Don't mess with the ZOHAN. What a delightfully silly movies. It is very sexual so beware if you don't like that kind of movie but I was just cracking up. I love Adam Sandler to begin with so I was happy that this movie was as good as his others. Just completly silly.

Wednesday Zack graduates from jr. high so I will share pictures of it with you once it happens.
Have a great weekend.
