We're going to the ZOO!!

Yesterday was my last time taking Judah to the zoo before he is off with mommy to a new state! Kevin was able to get off as well and we went with my best friend Betsy and her son. It was hot but we had no rain and there was a breeze. We packed a lunch and snacks and Kevin even held an umbrella for us to shade us from the hot sun while we ate. Such a gentleman! we made it thru 3/4 of the park before the adults got cranky and were ready to go home! We stopped at Wendy's on the way home for frosties to keep with tradition!



At the tiger exhibit, all of us and Tico (short for Santicos)

The new baby elephant born last summer and the momma. The elephants are Judah's favorite.

Judah and I at the new Polar Bear exhibit! It was nice you can view them from the top or under water in their swim tank. It was neat! There were two bears and the are twin sisters.

When we got home Judah and I went swimming in our pool while Kevin napped until it started to thunder. Kat picked Judah up and then i took a nap. Sadly when i woke up i was in incredible pain had a pounding headache and felt sick. Kevin took good care of me got me migraine meds and made me drink a ton of water. He called mom and she said I got heat stroke or heat exhaustion. I thought I drank a lot of water thru the day and had no pop or anything so i dont know why. Kevin got me a movie and food so i could lay and rest. besides mom he is about the only person i want around when im sick bc he takes such good care of me! As always you all can go here to view pictures of the whole day!

Kabobs!

Recently we busted out the grill and bought some skewers and made fun Kabobs!! I sliced some cucumber,and squash,lemon, mushrooms, tomatoes, and onion and i marinated chicken in Caribbean jerk for me and barbecue sauce for Kevin. We also grilled some corn on the cob!


Kevin cant wait to try it!

Finished product! Yum!

It was fun to put together and was very tasty! Plus I had enough veggies to make mom proud! lol!
I love summertime barbecue!

Yet another hobbie....

So here is a taste of some of the pieces in my collection of handmade jewelry. I still need to photograph a few I have given as gifts to people but this is a start. These I will soon be selling on Etsy.com to begin my hobbie/business for a while. Eventually I want to have a website of my own to sell them, I also want to come out with a line that profits will go to benefit missions as that is also one of my passions!


(no name yet)
This is made of olive green and copper cultured pearls, silver plated findings, and sea green spiral shells twist tight clasp. I would sell for $35- $40 for the combo and $50 if I use sterling silver for the findings instead.

"Honey Bee"
This bracelet is made of copper and golden yellow cultered potato pearls, with golden yellow died mother-of-pearl disks, and yellow bicones crystals with a honey bee toggle clasp. maybe $15

"Moonlight Tide"
made of steel blue mother-of-pearl nuggets, peacock blue potato cultered pearls, dark blue bicone crystals, and silver plated findings and spacers, lobster claw clasp.this is one of my favorites. about $25
Kat borrowed it for Kari's graduations and it looked awesome on her went well with her outfit!

Can you tell i like to work with pearls? lol! Well what do you think of prices? would people buy it you think? I will post more pictures later!
love to all!

Jana's Gift

So I finally got Jana's graduation gift all ready! I got the jewelry box idea from online and put stamps on the out side to decorate it. So cute! Her "piece" is one of my favorite so far and I will post pictures after she gets it! Yay!
