Friday-Saturday-Sunday

Josh, Jade and Kent's dad, came up to visit the kids and the rest of his family over the past week. His youngest brother just had his first baby. So now there are 3 grand kids on their side of the family- I know grandma Claire is sooo excited!

Can anyone say twins??? They look so much alike, Kent's voice even sounds like him, but I guess that's what happens when you're father and son right? ( I still see a little bit of me in that face... just a little bit)

A close up of Jade and her dad- yeah, they look alike also....

Since I didn't have to work Saturday, I spent the first part of my Saturday sleeping in to my heart's content!!! After I finally got up I went to the YMCA and ran 9 miles in 1 hour and 39 minutes- felt pretty great!

Soooo, we are getting ready for Kent's senior pictures. I CANNOT WAIT!!! We still have to get his hair cut, then I think we are planning to get them the week after next!! So yesterday we went shopping!

First we headed out and got a special coffee- just mom and son! Kent's such a great kid, I know he could probably care less about his pictures, but he knows it means so much to me that he goes along with it.

Then we headed to the mall... check out these nice shirts! Awesome blue and purple, Jeromy isn't too hip on the purple, but I love it and Kent doesn't care. But Jeromy said the tie makes it looks nice! DUH! These colors are actually alot more bold than this picture is showing. The sitting fee I'm getting is for 4 clothing changes, so we got 2 fancy looks...

Here are the 2 casual looks... I really wanted Kent to like what he was wearing, and he said he wanted something orange! ORANGE people, for senior pictures? I think he says crazy colors cause he knows I'll freak out! So we got this orange look, and also that nice black/gray shirt over white...

Ok- after church we headed over to my mom's house for a yummy pizza lunch! Can you tell I'm excited by the look on my face? I've been thinking about this pizza lunch for several days now! Good thing I ran 9 miles yesterday!

Jeromy and I have fun putting on exactly what we like to make the pizza perrrrfect!

Doesn't that look awesome????

Are they not the cutest or what??? Love those faces!!! They love making their own pizzas, too!

Grandma and grandpa make their own pizza, too! Grandma had doubled the dough recipe so we all pretty much got to make our own whole pizza.... soooo fuuuull!

Wow- is your mouth watering? Mine is and I already ate half my pizza!

Jeromy loves his pizza with his goat cheese- tastes pretty good, too!

The kids were spending the night at grandma's house tonight. Even though they are 17 and 19 they still love to spend the night at grandma's house, which I know makes my mom happy since she was worried about them getting too old to want to stay over! But they love their grandma. Doesn't hurt that she had cupcakes, ice-cream, cookies and what ever else she feeds them when I'm not looking! Love you mom! Thanks again for the yummy lunch! Jeromy and I ate the other halves of our pizza... I can't believe I did that- I should have ran 15 miles... I don't think I'll be eating pizza again for a while soooo fuuuull!!!

Back home, some other misc. things....

At work, we all have tool bags we use to hold our tools for where ever we are working in the shop. Well, the guys, of course, use the manly navy green tools bags that are shaped like these ones. But I, along with alot of the women, make our own- more stylish tool bags. I usually make a new one after every couple of years just cause I get bored. So here are the ones I had over the last couple of years... first the green one, then I got a little more creative and made some stripes with the different colored naugahydes that we have... and then of course I doodle all over them...

So this is the latest one I made last week, did different thicknesses of stripes again, but made them at an angle. Pretty sweeeet... I also make them with PVC pockets on both sides to slide family pictures in them to keep me happy while I work...

Some things I got from my grandma who passed away a few weeks ago. My mom painted this "Last Supper" of Jesus and the 12 disciples picture years ago, I remember it hanging at my grandma's as far back as I can remember. And my mom gave it to me. I also cross stitched this "I believe in angels" picture for my grandma in 1995, she also had that hanging since then, so I got that back and will hang it somewhere in my house.Sooo, Jeromy made himself a bowl of cereal. It's his peanut butter crunch cereal, which he decided to crumble up a warmed up brownie over the top, then he added his milk.... hmmm... weird...So now I just finished baking some banana bread, my mom gave me 2 bananas that were just ready to become banana bread- makes the house smell so good! Also made Jeromy's tuna fish and hard boiled about 10 eggs for the week for us all to much on- the chickens are going crazy right now in the egg laying department! We can't keep up!

So now getting ready for bed. It was a nice weekend, really nice not having to work....
