Dry Erase Frame..!

I saw this and HAD to do it.....how super easy it was! Just buy a frame, cover the back with your fabric and then put the frame back together....That's it!! Then use a dry eraser to write on..Super cute! This way the kids can put what they also want from the stores...really that would be Sabrina..she is my big helper in that area..This board is in my pantry so I had to match it with my craft area side...and LOVE it!! Tip: make sure you use a light color fabric and not too busy..I origanally wanted to use a damask black and white, but then you couldn't see my writing..lol!

San Diego Vacation Summer 09'

In July we headed out to San Diego with our favorite family..the Johnstons. We rented this cute beach house right on the beach and stayed for a whole week. It was sooo much fun to just relax and not worry about anything...actually my only worry was if I would start feelin my morning sickness, which luckily it started on Fri. the day before we left! We also went to SeaWorld and some shopping...fun..we wanted to go to the temple but it was closed for cleaning, but we drove by it at least...it's beautiful!! It was alot of beach hangin, late nights....food shopping..lol and cooking...my kind of vacation with my favorite people in whole wide world!!

Yesterday we celebrated R.J.'s the big 15! He also finally got permission from his doctor to play in his Football Game for Gilbert High! He had a hip injury over the summer and worsened it over football camp right before school started...so anyhow he was VERY excited to be able to play and so were we! (even thought they lost to of all teams...Shepherd Jr. High which is MY Jr. High growin up...weird!)All of my side of the family were there and Ray's side and the Johnstons to cheer him on..I even made posterboards with crepe paper, brought some balloons and made cupcakes...FUN! Afterwards we all went to Someburros for dinner where he opened up his gifts...He wanted an Iphone soo bad, so we were able to pull that off for him...he was soo happy, he got alot of money which is good for a teenager and a wallet and Itunes card...Happy birthday buddy...hope you had an awesome day...love you!!
