One crazy summer and a little sneaky peeky...

Summer has been an insanely busy, super crazy, all-out action packed few months. I had my entire summer booked by Mother's Day (agh!) - so far we've been out of town to be with family, celebrated my birthday, gone to Vegas for a bachelor/bachelorette weekend, had family visit, hosted book club, gone out of town again for a family funeral, had more family visit, celebrated July 4th, gone camping & celebrated birthdays of family friends, helped our best friends get married, watched Andrew earn his yellow belt in karate, celebrated Sophia's birthday, had more family visit, celebrated my mom's, step-mom's and another family friend's birthday, and had three big fundraisers for Relay for Life. Whew! And that's just so far!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures that this summer has brought me.

Fun at the lake with three of my favorite girls - Lia, Kaelee & Sophia

My handsome boy who's getting way too big, way too fast!

Andrew & Sophia with my little sister Clare and little brother Max at my grandpa's funeral

Birthday dinner with the Youngs - I think this is the first time that just the moms are in a picture - we're usually the ones behind it!

The last few weeks of summer brings our Relay for Life tomorrow night, Michael's birthday and my niece's birthday next weekend, Girl's Night Out crop & book club the following weekend, Andrew's birthday and a memorial event for another family member. And, apparently, searching for my missing 4th of July pics. Dang - wonder where those ones went.

It's a wonder that any creating gets done. Luckily, being on the Pracitcal Scrappers design team is really bringing me out of my normal creative box and adding a little extra mojo to my world. Here's a little sneaky peeky of next week's project. I can't wait to share the whole thing!
