Project and Summer Fun

At the hospital that I volunteer for we have been doing a "Giving Back Week" for each month. For the month of June we cleaned up a local park and a museum. For July we participated in the Meth Project. It took us a full week to do. I have also decided through this that I do not like the heat...and probably never will! We were lucky that we didn't have 100 degree weather, however most of the weather was either low 90's or high 90's.

** I was the lucky sole who got to be up on the ladder doing the top letters. I learned very quickly to not look down!**

Whitney decided one day that she wanted to pull out the slip-in-slide. Her and Jordann spent a nice hot afternoon slipping-and-sliding. I think the next day they were pretty sore! They had many races and many "you cheated" moments!

Jordann trying to give me a BIG hug (of course when she's wet and me being dry)....it didn't work. I won that battle!

Relaxing in the Sun

Jordann and Whitney decided to have some relaxation time with the dogs outside. One dog, and you can guess who, is in serious trouble with us because for two days straight now he has chewed the air conditioner's wires so that we can't use it. Let's just say that the four days that dad was gone on a fishing trip were pretty hot! Yesterday was the worst one, though. Luckily dad is back....the bad news is that he hasn't had a moments rest since landing on Sunday. I think that dad agrees with mom now....NO MORE DOGS!

What A Weird Dog!

Demon decided one day while we were trying to get things on the table for dinner to take a slinky from the kitchen floor and take off running with it. Why the dog was in the house, I'm still not quite sure! He was running around the yard like a crazy dog (which he is) until Jordann was able to finally trick him into giving it to her....and just in time too because dad was just pulling into the driveway and he wouldn't be happy to know that his dog was playing with something pink! He is very clear that his dog can only play with "boy" toys. This probably became into play when he found that I put a bow on him on my phone when I was playing with the stamps!

A New Project...

I have started another site to blog about one of my passions: cooking. The site is still new and I am still trying to get it looking "pretty." Here's the site:

Graduation

I have officially graduated from high school as of Saturday, May 29, 2010! I had a great day by spending it with my family and going out to lunch with my aunt, uncle, and two of my cousins. My grandpa also made it which was great :)!

Tessellation Project

I worked on this while Jordann and Whitney were doing their standardized testing. It's amazing how this little thing can take a long time and keep your mind busy!

Finally!!!!

I have finally finished the puzzle that I started after finishing my finals. It took a lot longer than I was anticipating! I'm hoping that the next one isn't as hard :) !
