Well, we are back from our trip home. Brooke and I had so much fun. We saw all of our family and friends. Upon our return I started my summer "to do list." I painted the foyer, front door, shutters, and trim inside and outside. I also power washed the house and cleaned the carpets and floor boards. I organized the garage, Brooke's clothes, and kitchen. WHEW!! I still need to paint the front porch but I'm a little burned out. Brooke hasn't been feeling well either. This week I am getting ready to set up my room for school. I am not looking forward to leaving my little girl but I am looking forward to my new school!! Hope everyone has a great August. I can't wait until the fall!!

Well, our summer is off to a fast start. We have been to the beach a couple times and the pool as well. Brooke loves the water more and more each time we go!! We try to go outside as much as possible but it's been VERY warm. We are going home to Michigan in a couple weeks for the 4th!! We are daring to go on another airplane ride alone (just me and Brooke)! Wish us luck!

I hope everyone is having an AWESOME month of May. I am counting down the days until school is over and I get to stay home with my little Brookie!! We have so many fun things planned for the summer. I can't wait. National Scrapbook Day was a blast. I got so many layouts done and transparenttouches.com is always the place to be!! Here are a few layouts I did. ENJOY!!
