the past month

wow! i can't believe it's July 20th!  this past month was crazy busy...photo shoot...surgery...potty training...totally random!

first up- photo shoot
my friend jordi called and asked me to help with a photo shoot, i think i agreed before she was done with her question of asking me.. Ha! It was a blast!  You can see some of it here: http://jordileephotography.blogspot.com/2012/07/get-marriedstyled-shoot.html
the photo shoot was for Heather at getmarried.com and it is a wonderful site even if you're not getting married!  
for the photo shoot, i helped jordi with a couple fun things, like this sign:

the sign i made was for a photo booth...super easy
start with a piece of pallet or fencing, in this case it was the kids tree fort that had fallen down..love re-using!
then i cut off one end because the other end already kinda looked like an arrow, next up..paint! super easy!


thanks for asking me...so fun!

surgery...yuck! our oldest daughter had surgery on her ear to remove a tumor and repair her hearing.  she had already had this surgery once before at christmas, but they had to wait to put in her "magical" hearing bones for 6 months.. she is doing fine now but can not run, jump or swim for 3 weeks, lets just say we are "bored" around here.  

lastly...potty training!!  big news around here, the youngest at 2 1/2 years is potty trained...it went way easier than i thought considering her type of personality! i say it's a double score for me- no more dirty diapers and that's $20 bucks a week in diaper money that will now be happily spent at occasional sales! 
oh and i forgot we totally re-did the girls room a week before surgery to keep her mind off of it...i will get pictures up soon!
have a great weekend!
