Lotsa Pasta and Fun :)

Last saturday, our Wilder PTO hosted a Pasta Supper and Faculty Follies. We had SUCH a great turnout. So many volunteers showed up to help, that the night went off without a hitch. Mandie Perryman headed the event and she is just a dynamo. But the most amazing thing was the faculty. I was FLOORED by what they put together. They totally took the whole thing seriously, with well thought out skits, songs and jokes. The kids just cracked up and screamed at the top of their lungs. I am not sure when I have had more fun. Hey, let's do it again next year :) HUGS

Happy Birthday Adam

We went out with friends to celebrate Adam's Birthday. NO KIDS, just adults, good food and a live band. What more can you ask for right? Here are some of the photos from the night. Hugs

Pumpkin Madness :)

Mom and I took the kids to a church in the Houston area that brings in thousands of pumpkins and then sells them as a fundraiser. We raced to get there before the rain and we got about 5 minutes of photos without the wet stuff. But the kids had fun anyway. After the photos, I took the kids to see Toy Story 1 and 2. They really loved that :) HUGS

Beckham Breezes Into Houston

Yep, he was here yesterday. Reagan was so excited and there was tons of EXCITEMENT in the air. Roman, not as impressed. He fell asleep during the game, I am not kidding. It was a sellout and the place was packed. Pat (Onstad) played really well but we just couldn't score. Game ended in a tie. Becky was such a good friend to give us tickets AGAIN. We enjoyed them so much. I have to say though, David Beckham looked totally scruffy and was STILL looking hot :) HUGS

More Classes in Dallas

It was a BUSY 48 hours. I need to be in bed but wanted to leave with more photos of the weekend. Heidi taught more classes on friday at the Hilton Garden Inn while the By Design Retreat was in FULL swing :) I spent my day working with Jessica designing an upcoming class for BD. Then, Tracy, Heidi, Beverly and I hoped in the car and drove to Dallas for more classes. Heidi anf Janet both taught a class on Saturday and they were both AMAZING. Loved them :) It was great seeing Janet again and meeting her sweet new daughter Blakely for the first time. Good Times :)

Hello Heidi, Welcome Back :)

She's Back !!! And her projects are just fantastic. I love how her mind works. Her projects are just filled with with little compartments, journaling spots and hidden treasures. She has encouraged me, through her projects and sessions, to explore and expand upon the small joys in everyday life. A life worth documenting and remembering.

Embrace your small joy today, Hugs

He is 45 :)

Yesterday was Jerad's birthday and I really surprised him this year. I enlisted the help of his boss Eric, and he told Jerad he was needed to work in the office on Friday, his actual birthday. This was not true of coarse, but I had to make sure Jerad did not schedule any important appointments or meetings for Friday. So, we woke up, and during cake and presents, I said, "BTW, you will not be going in to work today, we will be celebrating you all day!" He was stunned and so excited.

We started at the Apple store where I told him he could pick anything he wanted. He picked the Apple ipod Touch 64 GB and it is just amazing. Then off to Mark's, on of his favorite restaurants in Houston. Lastly, a 2 hour massage at one of his favorite places......sooooo relaxing. Happy Birthday Baby !!!!!

Today, BACK TO REALITY :)
