Favorite Little Princess

I made these two little cuties for Kassidy and Kourey. They are still at Camp Grandma's, so they should be getting them in the mail today. The instructions were in Japanese, so I had to wing it, but they turned out pretty cute. Guess it's time to see what else I can make!

This past weekend, David took me on a quick surprise getaway to Naples, Florida. We were celebrating our 8th anniversary. It was hot, but we still enjoyed ourselves. We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Tiburon Golf Resort. Wow! Friday we enjoyed the room and the pool. Saturday we went to the beach and then to the Mall (to cool off!) for a little shopping. Sunday we were able to play 18 holes at the famous Tiburon course. 17 holes were horrible...but I had the only birdie of the day on a par three hole. That was very exciting. If you would like to see the pictures, go here : Maybe someday we will go back again.

I made these "foot-lops" (that's what she calls them) for Kourey. I think she is going to like them. I'm half-way through with a pair for Kassidy. I don't think Kassidy will like the same colors or flowers, so I'm trying to come up with something a little different. It's been quite without the girls here. David and I went to the driving range Saturday. It had been awhile since I had been out golfing. I got a blister on my thumb...ouch! I'm half-way through the summer semester. So far I have an 'A' average in my class. This class hasn't been so terrible, so far. Slowly, but surely, I'm getting through all of these courses. I will glad to be finished. We're going to go see the girls this coming weekend so David can spend Father's Day with his little princesses. Kourey has really been whining this year about missing us. Usually, she doesn't even want to talk to us. Not sure why things are different this year. Wel...

Ok, so it has been awhile. Just keeping busy with the same old stuff, really. Kassidy finished the 4th grade with a bang. All 'A's. We took her to Georgia this past weekend to stay the summer with Grandma and Grandpa. Kourey has her dance recital this coming Saturday, so we will ship her off after that......ah, I love summer. I just hope Grandma can keep up with them. It's been awfully dry here in Florida. Our poor lawn has about had it. It's this time of year that we all start hoping for tropical activity just to get us some moisture. Other than that, it's just business as usually. I'm hoping to get the house cleaned out and straightened up while the girls are gone. I took one class in the Spring and now one more this summer. This class hasn't been as bad as the one in the Spring, so far. After that, just 6 more classes to go! Ok everyone...start your rain dances....until next time.

So I made this cute little bear for Lee (at my work) for Easter. And I also made these adorable babies. Kassidy suggested a nose, so the purple was made second and aquired the sense of smell. The problem with making these cute things isn't that I want to hang onto them (which I do) but that my girls want to keep them. I'm glad they like the stuff I make. I hope it keeps them creative, too!

Ok , so Easter wasn't much fun...I was sick and then Kassidy got sick. Actually, I'm still sick. Guess it's time to give in and go to the doctor. So, back to Easter. The girls got up and went on an egg hunt and then opened their beautiful baskets Nancy (from my work) got them. They loved it. Then Kassidy went back to bed, poor thing. My parents came down for the weekend, but I know I wasn't much company. So, it was good to see them and dad helped me with my paper for school. That's about it. The girls went bowling (I stayed home to sleep)and then we just hung out together.

David loves Tennessee Vols football so much that I just had to make him a pillow to go with the rest of the orange/Vols stuff he has collected. Now this fall he can bring this out for the games. I'm sure he won't be including the doll, but I thought you could see how big the pillow is with something else in the picture.
