"Just Scrappin" with friends!






Went scrappin at a new store - Just Scrappin. It is in Pt. Charlotte, right off 41. I so needed some scrap time with friends. Had a blast with Lisa, Marty and Michelle. Hope to do it again soon!!

BEACH TIME - A FAVORITE OF MINE



We drove down to Ft. Myers beach to eat at one of my favorite restaurants - The Cottage aka The Gulfshore. They have THE BEST wings.



We sat outside (the only place to sit) and enjoyed the beach view.








Afterwards, we walked the pier while eating ice cream. A trip to the beach is not complete without ice cream from Kilwins.


MINITURE HORSES




So a buddy of mine has a farm where he raises miniature horses. Two of them recently gave birth and another one is due in a few weeks, so I took the girls whom we all know are total horse lovers out to visit the babies along with the rest of his menagerie. The babies are only about 14lbs when they are born and were about a month old when we saw them. They are just too cute. One is named Daisy and the other one Dirty Snowball (Can you guess which on he is)!



Anyway, the girls loved every minute of it! The barn is also home to 12 cats, regular size horses and a family of white ducks plus 3 dogs!!



Samantha with Muddy Snowball!! He gave her a run for her money, before she caught him!!

THE PROUD PARENTS WITH THE GRADUATES




7TH Grade... Here they come. Oh boy. Are we ready for this....let me rephrase, is Mike ready for this?!?!?

ANOTHER MILESTONE FOR THE GIRLS

















The girls graduated from 6th grade this year. Yes... I did say 6th grade. I can hardly believe it, where has the time gone. They each got a new dress and shoes for this special day, plus some pretty new earrings. Needless to say we are very proud.



The dresses where so pretty and the colors so vibrant!




Good times, celebrating this milestone with their friends!!!

I WORE OUT MY POINT & SHOOT




Everyone knows how much I use my little Nikon point and shoot. It has worked so hard for me over the years and it was getting tired. Taking longer and longer to cycle the image to the sd card. After much research and waiting for the new Nikon models to be released I made my purchase. I am now the proud new owner of a Nikon S620 point in shoot. Can you guess the color I picked??? NOBLE PURPLE!!!

WINGS




I had gotten this cute chipboard bird album in a Scrapolgie kit some time back and had been pondering what to use if for. I finally decided to use it to mark milestones in the girls growing up.... as they begin to spread their "Wings" and fly. It turned out so cute. It starts with them learning to walk and then first day of kindergarten. You get the idea. Not to worry, I have left a few pages blank to allow for pictures of the first cell phone, getting their drivers license, high school graduation etc.
