shame on me!

I am almost ashamed to post since it has been so long. Facebook completely spoiled me. I have been up to lots of cool things since I posted last and will be updating again soon. I miss my blog friends!

Congratulations Jacob & Eagle River H.S. Class of 2009!

Graduation went very well and Jacob is so excited to be finished with High School. He plans to attend the University of Alaska Anchorage in the fall with his sister, Alex. In fact, they are moving into a house together June 1st. Hope one or both of them will blog about them living together and going to college. Somehow their stepfather Mark and I think there is a comedy in that situation! We plan to spend this afternoon with the kids, as this is our last day in Alaska. Our flight leaves just after midnight tonight.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope everyone has a great Mother's Day! I am almost packed and ready for my trip to Alaska. Check out the cool Mother's Day gift I received! It's an Aerogarden 3. I Can't wait to get back home and start planting my English Garden - Thanks Jimmy!

New Jim Shore Art!!

Had to share the following pictures of all the great Jim Shore "Heartwood Creek" pieces my parents gave to me as an early birthday present! Absolutely beautiful and the pictures that I downloaded from the website don't do the pieces justice. They look great in my patriotic home. Thanks Mom and Dad!






Don and I are headed to Alaska to celebrate Jacob's High School Graduation! Congratulations Jacob - we can't wait to see you graduate!
